Parchment paper has a very crinkly feel and sound ❤

Love your way I hang on clothesline in sun ,quickly done , I love the colour you got so will have to master that yet , the darker ❤❤❤❤I would save that dye totally freeze it let me know , you have a beautiful colour there ,worth keeping,

You can just pile up the wet papers and sit outside. When they are dry they come right apart. I sort of carefully lay them cattycorner to each other and leave em. I'm lazy. 😁

Hi Liz! WOW! Your papers and things are so pretty! That color is gorgeous!! I’m new to the whole junk journaling thing. Yes I know, I’m the only crafter who didn’t know half this stuff. My crafting has always been diying, thrift flips, furniture refinishing and stuff like that. I just recently got into junk journaling. I absolutely love it! But I’ve got lots to learn. When I did my avocado dying I didn’t use the pits/seeds bc I didn’t know to. And I didn’t know the baking soda trick either. I just thought boil my skins and that’s that, what more is there to know right? Well like I said, I’m still learning. So I’m so glad I watched your video here. That deep pink is so pretty. Mine turned out really pretty but needless to say it is a light pink. So I’ve got more skins and seeds drying and I’m going to make a new batch and use your method. I’ll have that deep pink color and that excites me! There is so much to learn. Also something I’ve learned from you and others is that I can turn my oven up a bit higher when drying my papers. I would dry mine on 250 at the highest but I realize I can go a bit higher. That will make things go faster which will be really nice too. Okay, I’ve blabbed enough. Thank you my dear. ❤️💜💚

Great tip about folding the copy paper before dying the paper! Will have to remember that the next time I dye some paper.

I air dry mine on grill pan griddles. Saves nrg.

Dry helpful!

Thank you for doing this video! I want to try this in the winter. It’s too hot in Florida to have my oven on. Lol!

thank you for sharing your process. I've watched it a few times. Great video!

I use dollar tree shower curtains to protect my surface! Great size.

Thank you, I was t sure what the process was. I will give it a try.

I thoroughly enjoyed the process and your explanation. You answered all my questions 😊 Thank you! 😊

Thank you so much for this video. You explained it all so easily. I am now on a mission to get avocado skins and seed as I’m the only on that eats it in our house. Lol I am very keen to try. 💖 21:52

Drop cloth.....:). These turned out beautiful!

❤❤❤❤❤

Great tips! I can't wait to try this. Did you ever use the leftover dye after you froze it?

Great job!! Really beautiful colors!! How many hours did you spend on this, like is this a whole Saturday thing, or one night after work? I know it on how many pages you do, but for a batch like yours, how long? Thanks for showing your process!!❤

Hi Liz those came out awesome

What a beautiful color of pink.

I Just put them in the sun until liquid evaporates

I never dry out avocado peels or seeds. I use them fresh or frozen. I use the green type off avo (it is still green when ripe). I use baking soda with copy, ledger, feint lined and book paper and 120, 160, 200, 250 & 300gsm cardstock as well as waterpaint and mixed media paper and doilies and envelopes.... I don't soak the paper in the dye I just pour the liquid in a spray bottle and lay the sheets down on top of one another, (1 by 1) and spray each paper before laying down the next. Some wetter than others. Then I leave them in stacks of about 15 in the Sun and turn them over from time to time until dry. I do NOT bake them in the oven. And i get a terracotta colour! The wetter I make the paper the darker the colour!! I😁😃 Who said you MUST have red avo's? oh and I use about 8 avo skins & seeds with 750ml to 1 liter of water with 2 teaspoons of baking soda and boil it for 25 - 30 minutes. 👍🏻👍🏻

Hello Your video was great seeing the process. Before watching your video I watched another channels process for this and just finished dying loads of papers. They are so pretty. I have a small area and only a toaster oven but I made it work. I was very curious if you have used any of your frozen leftover dye yet? I have lots of dye left and was hoping to save it somehow to use another day. Hopefully I can see your reply soon so I’ll know what to do with it . Thanks for a great video. ☺️

Nice! I have a bunch of avocado skins and pits in the freezer that I have been accumulating for a while. Have you ever just let any air dry? I just wonder how much of the color variation is due to the baking. I have done it before without the baking soda but so long ago that I don’t remember. Thanks for the tutorial!!

How long did you leave in water dye , parchment paper you will lo e the texture an finish it does ,try that

Wondering if you used the frozen dye and if it worked?

I just lay them out on a plastic table cloth and let dry. They can overlap. I just can’t justify the oven being on for it. Tea and coffee do the same. You can get decorative plastic table cloths for cheap at garage sales. It leaves designs on the paper.

If you leave the papers soaking for 10-20 minutes wouldn’t the paper rip?

PLEASE READ MY INITIAL COMMENT FIRST. You can layer plastic stencils or plastic doilies between the sheets of paper (in a stack) and put them in the sun or leave them overnight inside the house... And when they're dry you can see the patterns of the stencils and doilies on the paper. I dye about 100 A4 sheets of paper and I have about a quarter of the initial amount of liquid i started with (see my initial comment). You can keep the remaining dye in a plastic bottle at room temperature - cool, dry, dark area (just add a few drops of 90% rubbing alcohol to every 500ml) for up to 2 months. Oh, if you DON'T add the baking soda, the paper will eventually loose the original colour and turn a muddy colour. I've done this many-many times. Happy crafting!

Why backing the papers?
