Coffee Dyeing Paper

"I have used instant coffee granules and hot water to dye the papers in this photo and have used them in albums and to make a card. I used a spray bottle, paint brush, bubble wrap, salt, stencils and cookie cutters to get different results. The strength of the coffee will determine the depth of colour and you can use several layers on top of each other for varying results You can watch the process and what I used in my video "
