Create unique papers for your crafting projects. In this video I give a demo of my method for tea and coffee-dyed papers - I add in rusty objects, stencils and anything else that takes my fancy!
These papers are ideal for junk journals, scrapbooking, journal making and so many other projects.
If you don't feel like making your own though, you can always purchase some of my digital downloads on my Etsy shop! Instant papers to print - no messing about!

Thank you so much, lisa. I've seen all these different item's used by themselves, but never all 3 of them at the same time. Thanks for sharing!

You are so welcome!

Thank you, very interesting! Can I ask how you dried the paper, did you hang them up?

@fontellahenderson2016 Ай бұрын

I would really like to know the same question. Very great tutorial. I love the rust ones.

@OfWhispersAndDreams Ай бұрын

Yes I hung them to dry on a clothes dryer! After they were dry I flattened them under a pile of books.

Thank you so much for sharing your process. I have a pan that has some rusty patches where the coating has come off - so I automatically get some cool rusty effects on my papers I dye in it!

Those rusty bottoms are great aren't they!

@mmagpiie2470 Ай бұрын

Very exciting papers! You aren't afraid to experiment and I love how they turned out!

Thanks for the awesome tips. I haven't seen anything like this before. I am a newbie, and I am very excited. I will try it. 😊😊😊

Thank you so very much for this tutorial! It is so helpful and I feel even I can do it!

@dayonburtons Ай бұрын

Thank you for sharing, great ideas 😀

@OfWhispersAndDreams Ай бұрын

Well... a combination of using rust with tea and coffee, the bottle tops. Not so much a secret I guess...

@karinlease3544 Ай бұрын

I would love to see how you dried them.

@OfWhispersAndDreams Ай бұрын

I hang them to dry on a clothes drier with an old towel underneath to catch the drips. When they are dry I put them under a pile of heavy books to flatten them.

So what was the secret that noone tells you???

@OfWhispersAndDreams Ай бұрын

Thank you so much! I was surprised how popular it has been! Most of my videos had very few views, a few a couple of hundred, then this one seems to have gone viral!

@JennCadyFiddlyBits Ай бұрын

So guess that answers my question. I don’t like click bait… That means I don’t need to watch. 😂 but I did anyway. Thanks for taking the time to make a tutorial video! ❤

@3_3645 17 күн бұрын

What fun, maybe the decorative glass kinda of flat beads. Or bubble wrap, what happens if you crunch up the paper first,? Or crunch plastic wrap, different papers, all kinds of ideas are coming forward _ thanks

This is so interesting. I'm going to my husband's garage and get some items to rust up.

@OfWhispersAndDreams Ай бұрын

That sounds like an excellent idea! I keep an eye out on roads and pavements for rusty bits!

@amygilbert3113 Ай бұрын

Very nice, but i haven't seen rusty cans or bottle tops in a long time, everything is plastic now... Guess I'll have to make my own. Would love to see a video of what you did with these. TFS!!

@OfWhispersAndDreams Ай бұрын

I still see plenty - mainly in car parks. Or you can make your own by soaking in a bucket for a few days and bashing them with a hammer! Thanks for watching!

@RobinGayl Ай бұрын

Lovely papers! Can you share the weight of the papers you used and also how you dried them (did you hang them up)?

@OfWhispersAndDreams Ай бұрын

I hang them to dry on a clothes drier with an old towel underneath to catch the drips. When they are dry I put them under a pile of heavy books to flatten them. Most of the paper was standard copier paper. Some sheets a little heavier weight but I'm not sure exactly as it was just from a pile of paper I had and I'd lost the packet.

@SherryRector Ай бұрын

What is the weight of your paper? It seems thicker or heavier than just regular regular paper.

@OfWhispersAndDreams Ай бұрын

It's a mixture. Some is standard copier paper but a few pages are heavier. I can't remember the exact weight but it's only a little heavier than standard.

@paddywood89 Ай бұрын

How did you dry them please?

@nicolamoore9174 Ай бұрын

Gorgeous results...did I miss it...but what weight/make of paper are you using? 🤔 It doesn't look like cheap computer paper! It held up very well...Xxx

@OfWhispersAndDreams Ай бұрын

Yes mostly cheap copier paper. A few sheets were slightly heavier but it was just paper in my stash so not sure of exact weight. It wasn't card anyway.

@dayonburtons Ай бұрын

Where are you putting the wet ones as you take them out?

How do you dry them?

@libertylost8286 Ай бұрын

I would like to know, also. I put a string across my kitchen and towels on the floor and use clothes pins to hang to dry. It takes a while and makes a mess. I would like to find an easier way.

@hugohappens6526 Ай бұрын

Quickest way is to stack them on a baking tray in a low temp oven. Keep checking them and turning them every few minutes and remove the driest ones from the top and bottom of the pile every now and then

@OfWhispersAndDreams Ай бұрын

I hang them on a clothes dryer with an old towel underneath to catch the drips. On a warm sunny day I might put them on a table outside weighted down with stones. Once dry I put them under a heavy pile of books to flatten them. Works a treat!

@hazelanakadesign7071 Ай бұрын

Hi Lisa, great video though I admit I cringed when I saw you throwing a plastic stencil into freshly boiled water----I was sure it would ruin the stencil but it appears that it didn't so bravo! Thanks for doing this. Hazel

@OfWhispersAndDreams Ай бұрын

Ha! Yes it was fine. By the time the stencil went in the water had cooled considerably - my fingers went in too after all!

@tracynelson3279 Ай бұрын

Did you iron the paper? Cool effects ❤

@OfWhispersAndDreams Ай бұрын

No, I put the dried paper under a large pile of books for about an hour and that flattened it. Thanks :)

@SherryRector Ай бұрын

Great idea, but I don’t care for the rust

@jennynorris8931 Ай бұрын

what type of paper did you use?

@OfWhispersAndDreams Ай бұрын

Just standard copier paper mostly but I did have few sheets of something a little heavier but I can't remember what it was as it was just in a big pile in my cupboard. It wasn't card anyway!

@ruthcarter8895 Ай бұрын

What is the weight of your paper? Is it a cotton based paper?
