- In this brief tutorial I share mt technique using plastic doilies to coffee stain my paper with a decorative finish. Using simple techniques and household products to achieve some stunning results.
You could leave all the paper to soak over night for a much deeper finished colour or simply follow my quick method using a air dryer or heat source.
Please protect your hands and work surface with plastic sheeting as coffee will stain.
That looks gorgeous. Tfs.
Thank you.
Stunning and you make it so easy...thank you...❤️❤️❤️
You’re welcome 😊 thank you Joan
Thank you for showing us how to do this. I've never tried it, but I will now. Plastic doilies make good stencils, too.
Donna your ever so right about using the doilies as stencils, I've decorated a few happy mail envelopes in just this way. I hope you get chance to give this technique a go and finish with some interesting and decorative results. Many thanks Michelle
Very elegant. Would make lovely guest register for a wedding or funeral.
I like you take on the results and I can see how this would work lovely as you have suggested. Thank you for your input nice to see your comment Jon.
I don’t know how I missed this, but this is awesome!! Love it Michelle.. and I absolutely love those plastic doilies!! your so clever.. 👍🏽
Just an idea which took hold and one I guess was worth sharing, so I'm delighted you have seen this tip for future projects.
I will be on the hunt today looking for plastic doilies! Awesome!
Sue I wish you much success and hope once you have found some plastic doilies you end up with some stunning results.
Im so excited about this. I wish the dollar tree here in the states was open 24 hours. Lol. I would run to the store for doilies. I have papera and coffee. Thank you for this simple but very effective tutorial on dyeing paper. Its superb
Thank you Marlene, did you find the results pleasing. I apologise for the late reply but life has been a little bit chaotic.
Wow 😮 awesome effect using the plastic dollies,,, time to go purchase some pretty ones. TFS.
Keeping my fingers crossed for you April, I hope you have lots of success as I fully understand the plastic doilies can be difficult at times to track down. Some styles of lace can work just as well but it's always rather hit and miss so be prepared for varied results.
Wonderful! I’m going to the dollar store tomorrow to look for doilies. Thanks.
Alisa, sorry for such a late reply electrical issues within our home.I hope you had a pleasant trip to the dollar store, and came away with some plastic doilies.
I didn’t get to the store yet! But hopefully tomorrow. I only work half a day.
Wow ! So nice.Guess who is going to the pound shop........Thanks Michelle.
Your ever so welcome Jane. I hope you have some pleasing results with this technique.
How lovely. I can't wait to try this wonderful technique. Thank you for sharing.
Your very welcome Debbie.
TFS....these are beautiful....and I, too, will be on the search for plastic doilies.
Thank you Lisa, I hope you have lots of fun and come up with some very individual stunning designs!
This is fantastic, thanks zo much fit the idea
Thank you for leaving me a wonderful comment its so appreciated.
Thank you.
This is such a unique way to such a pretty design, Michelle. I like the way it covers the entire surface. I use paper doilies, dipped in coffee & lay them on the coffee dipped paper and then bake them in the oven. Then I have the paper and the coffee dyed doilies also. I just did almost 150 sheets of paper today and several different shapes of doilies. Yes...my cuticles are brown and my hands smell like vanilla coffee. lol! I do love your technique. Enjoyed the video! Thanks for sharing. ...Carol
One of my favourite fragrances is vanilla and not only does your finished coffee stained paper look so dark, and rich! You have have such a delicate aroma of vanilla to add another dimension. I love all the pieces of coffee stained doilies you have gifted on, so much so I'm still holding back from using them as they are beautiful just as they are. Now I know the secret I shall have to try for myself. Thank you Carol.....
To go a step further with the "secret" is to make sure you use PURE vanilla. It is more expensive but soooo worth it in the end result. I think it adds to the color and the fragrance is heavenly. Have fun!
I'm putting Pure vanilla on my shopping list and so looking forward to perfecting your extra special technique! Its the best coffee stained paper I've ever had the pleasure of owning. Thank you for being so kind and sharing.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! I purchased a set (of 5) large doily-like place-mats last year at Michael's. They were so pretty & I pictured them for coffee/tea staining, but every method I'd seen until recently used the oven. As we speak, my first batch is drying. I just know they're going to turn out beautifully! Yours are gorgeous!! I'm so excited!!
Jan, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a successful batch of pretty printed doily papers, it may take a few hours extra to air dry but I think the results are worth the effort. Thank you for taking the time to also leave me this comment as its great to see others like yourself making different prints onto paper. Take care Michelle
Wow, this is pretty cool! That old dolie is soo pretty!!! The marks it leaves is just gorgeous!!!
I will confess to loving the finished results and will be very saddened when these old doilies crack up and fall to pieces! Which they are due to age......
It is so beautiful ❤
Super info!
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for this tutorial, Michelle. I'm now off in search of plastic doilies! ~Vicki
Your ever so welcome Vicki. I hope you can find some plastic doilies and have as much success or even better results than I've had. With your finished work you could also make a photocopy to keep as a back up or practise piece. This way you can work with the original when you are happy with your lay out.
Thanks for that Michelle they look great.
Thank you Margaret.
Thanks for sharing your technique. Now to find some plastic doilies. 😍
Beautiful
Thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful idea with us. I too will be on the hunt for some plastic doilies 😜😊🌸💕
Janet Miller b
Thank you Janet.
Michelle...Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial. I have wanted to coffee stain paper, but never have because it just seemed so time-consuming. I love the effect of using doilies. The paper is beautiful by itself, but the doily technique brings it to another level and a very beautiful one. I'm not sure how it is that I have never not found you till today. I'm glad I did! Please keep up. All the best! I look forward to watching many more of your videos! Thank you Again!
Thank you so much! I did this with tea and it worked wonderfully. ❤️
Excellent, I'm ever so delighted and thank you ever so much for taking the time to leave me your results. I couldn't be more happier than when I can share an idea. Thank you again Michelle
Brilliant I will be on the hunt now for plastic doilies, Thought I may look at some of the doilies I have that i want to coffee stain.
Look around at home in your stash you may find you already have some interesting doilies. My plastic hot water bottles also have a few interesting patterns on but I've resisted the urge to coffee stain them so far! There are endless possibilities.......Good Luck Ann.
Cool, thanks for sharing Michelle.
Your ever so welcome Chris.
This is a wonderful idea thanks for sharing.
Thank you.
I can't wait to try this! I bought some vintage plastic doilies at a tag sale last summer! Thank you for sharing. :)
I'm so pleased June, it should be a fun process and I hope you get some amazing results! Best Wishes Michelle
I love this technique! Thanks for the tut!
Your very welcome Tris. I hope you have great success with pleasing results. Many thanks Michelle
This is fabulous Michelle :) I bought some plastic doilies ages ago with this in mind, just haven’t gotten around to play with them yet and now I don’t have to experiment with them, just follow your steps here :) TFS!
You are ever so welcome Wenche, I hope to see your results in future journals to come. I'm going to try using some fruit tea to stain some paper alongside the plastic doilies looking for a pinkish/purple effect.
This is beautiful ! Now I will have to find some plastic doilies ! I think I have a plastic doilies tablecloth somewhere, that isn't in great condition, & might just use sections of it.
You know instead of scrubbing your hands, you can soak your nails in lemon juice & baking soda, or household peroxide to whiten your nails. So give that a try next time before scrubbing your hands & see if it makes a difference. Tfs Michelle ! I'm a new sub ! ❤😊
Thank you ever so much Mitch for offering some brilliant pointers for my hands. But most of all taking the time to subscribe, I hope the tablecloth worked out for you. I'd love to hear how you got along.
@@mashbash1 Mitchalisia Hi, I haven't tried it yet, I'm trying to finish a mixed media paintings 8x10 album for my teenage niece birthday, On the last one, but life gets in the way, hoping by end of week, bc I've got to get all my out of state Christmas cards done by midweek next week & in the mail, & also try to get my tree up ! Usually by now I'd be finished with all that, but since my niece is so into art, I decided to make one for her one as an extra gift, & have worked all November on it. It will be a keepsake for her, & it's turned out so beautiful ! She's a December baby, so l try to make sure she gets birthday gifts & Christmas gifts too. I'm a November Thanksgiving baby, & when I was a young girl, many times some family would wait til Christmas & say it was for both my birthday & Christmas, so a lot of November/ December people get shortchanged, so l make it a point to, not to lump them both together for her ! I plan to try the coffee papers after the holidays. Once I'm finished with her art project, I'm taking an art hiatus until the New Year ! Those coffee papers would really make a pretty art journal for me ! I just started mixed media painting in August, & I had all these angel pictures from old calendars I've been saving for yrs, & from August to October I made my first album, some with Angel verses, some whimsical with beautiful quotes, & some quirky & funny, I love to do the quirky funny ones ! Its 5x8 , all made from doubled over paper grocery sacks, folded, painted modpodged, & I made most of the embellishments for it, its absolutely beautiful ! I still have a dozen Angel pictures left, so I'm going to make another one, as I just love Angels, & now I can look at all those beautiful pictures, instead of keeping them filed away. I always knew someday I would make something with them ! The coffee papers I would like to use for a Victorian journal, lush with roses & cream colored lace, & maybe journal in them all about my Sweet Sweet Mother, my paternal grandmother ( the only one still around when I was born ), and all my Aunties. All are gone now, so it would be a nice tribute to all of them ! ❤😊
P.S. another thing for washing hands is orange hand cleaner, sold at auto parts stores, & automotive dept. in retail stores have it too. Mechanics use it to get the oil & grime stains off, & it smells good ! Comet/ Ajax cleanser works, but it's so drying to your hands ! Hope one of those methods helps you out ! 😊
This is a brilliant tutorial Michelle. Thank you for sharing :)
Your very welcome Denise.
Thanks for sharing your technique.
Your very welcome Joan.
Thank you so very much for sharing this Great Idea!
Your ever so welcome Anne. If you get chance to try this technique I hope you also get some successful finished decorative paper with pleasing results.
This is easy and beautiful! Love it!
Thank you Angie, I'm so pleased that you have understood I hope you go on to make some wonderful decorative paper in the future using plastic doilies.
Don't know if there's a chance you'll see this but forget the stove top, dump everything in a slow cooker and stir - once at beginning and before you serve the chili or more often if your better than me. I precook ground meat and freeze it and just dump the frozen block of meat into the pot. I'm old, you do things the easy way ; -)
Interesting method!
Wow Michelle! These turned out lovely! I've never seen this done before! Can't wait to try your method! I need to find some plastic doilies! TFS! Just subscribed to your channel!
Sabrina, thank you ever so much firstly for your subscription and secondly for your support and comment. I do hope you have some great results using this method, you could try some lace if you are stuck finding plastic doilies. Just allow to dry for longer. Good Luck!
What a great idea.
Thank you Darlene.
Thank you SO much!! I always wanted to know how to do this! ❤
Love it! Beautiful!
Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video.. I am so excited these are gorgeous!!!!
Thank you ever so much Debra, I hope you get some very pleasing results. Many thanks again Michelle
Love it! So simple! TFS!
Your more than welcome Gail, I hope you have a try and end up with some stunning results.
Love it !! Thank you for sharing ..
You are ever so welcome, I hope you have fun making some of your own decorative stained paper using plastic doilies. Many thanks Michelle
While I'm on the hunt for plastic doilies, do you or have you ever tried using lace....just wondering what the results would be like. I have made the caulk templates using a video I found....which make nice borders....but want the whole page effect, like yours. Just wondering if you have tried lace. Your results are beautiful.. TFS
Yes Lisa, I've had some great results from lace soaked in tea or natural dye. I've sandwiched the lace between envelopes and left to dry out in the sun.
Thank you, Michelle. I had originally found your video from Angie Hayden's post on JJJ Chat and Angie was kind enough to send me a large piece plastic lace....so I am now back watching your video and can't wait to see my own results....hoping they will be as pretty. And I'm going to also try the soaked lace and see what I come up with. Again TFS.....this is very helpful.
Beautiful!
Thank you Sheila.
Guess I'll make a trip to the Dollar Store for some plastic doilies. Like your technique. I tried lace but didn't have very good results. Probably needed more detailed/ridged lace fabric.
As you said Lynn, it can be so hit and miss when using lace. I hope you can track down some plastic doilies if not you may find some plastic table clothes with raised embossed flowers which maybe an alternative. I wish you luck and happy hunting!
Thanks so much for sharing this idea! :-)
Awesome idea Tyfs
Your very welcome La, I hope you have fun trying this technique and some wonderful results for future journal pages. Many thanks for commenting it really is so appreciated......Michelle
GORGEOUS!!!! xo Michele
Thanks Michele.
Wow !
Thank you Cheryl.
J' adore!
Thank you ever so much Charmille.
Thanks great tip
Thank you.
Love this idea ty😍
Thank you.
SO COOL!!!!
Thank you Victor.
So brilliant.
Just wondering why are people saying “acrossed” these days and not “across.” Its not even a word.
Abi, I'm really sorry if at some point in my video I use poor English. I do hope my craft work makes up for my failure to explain more clearly.
Michelle White - Explaining the process wasn’t the issue. As I stated, “people” (not just you) are using that word and I am wondering why and particularly why in the American region of the world since that’s where the bazzaar pronunciation is coming from.
Wow! Tfs
Thank you Vani.
Genius!!
Thank you Earthy Joys.
Where can we find plastic/vinyl, silicone lace placemats ?? I just went online to ebay, wish, and walmart. $18.00 for a set of 6 is a bit more than I need for 6 of the same one. Lol
I have to confess that I brought the selection of plastic/vinyl place mats from a trunk sale. Then a girlfriend sent some from Portugal. In the U.K we have a poundland which also sells plastic mats but as you said they all match. I gift some to other ladies and always look in second hand shops. Stencils also work well.
guess what I am going to be buying soon hugs sara
I'm so pleased you are going to give this technique a go. I hope you have some great finished results once you have tracked down some plastic doilies. Thanks Sara....
Thank you
Your very welcome Mary, thank you for taking the time to watch and for also leaving me a comment.
Love this! New subbie :)
Thank you ever so much Nanna's Place I'm delighted you found this technique informative and useful. Your subscription is really appreciated thank you again......Michelle.
Love this technique Michelle. But WOW are plastic doilies expensive. You can not just buy one, you have to buy in quantity's of 4, 6, or12. Fifteen to thirty dollars a set. I do not know if it is worth the price just to coffee stain papers, because I would want different patterns of course. Hummmm, will have to think about this one.
OMG Laurie, that sounds really expensive and I'd forget the idea until I found a secondhand one or had some luck in a dollar store. You can always try some lace trim and the worst thing that could happen is poor results....apart from having a coffee stained page and some coffee stained lace rather than a transfer.
Could not hear anything but a mumbling voice. Please adust your microphone closer to your mouth. Even with ear phones your are indephsyferable as to instructions.
Donna I'm pleased to have at last invested in a new I Pad I can only apologise for the difficulty in listening to my tutorial. I hope future videos will have a much better volume and appeal to you in other craft related projects.
Beautiful
Thank you so much Krystyna.
