REUSE OF PACKAGING PAPER Tea and Coffee Staining

Welcome, a few days back we had Sunshine and No wind.  I had received a package and the paper stuffing inside made  me all energized to stain it.

I save plastic ice cream containers and these are labeled as Coffee Dye and Tea Dye.  I use instant coffee/water and add left over coffee from the pot to replenish.  I use 6/8 tea bags various kinds to boiling water and leave in this container in my refrigerator until I need to use it either for fabric or paper.  Working outdoors was fun and easy clean up. 

This paper was one long sheet, crumbled within the box .  Maybe 24 ft or so. Made 4/5 ft lengths to work with on the table. 

I took my dyes, paper, brush to the outside patio table and  applied the coffee to some and the tea to some.  At the time never thought of doing both on some paper.   I then left it to dry in the sunshine.

Here I took a few wet teabags and dabbed them around. 

When I brought them in I literally  hung them on  hangers

They are now folded, waiting to be cut and used in my paper makings.  Was a good creative day.
Thanks for visiting. Have a fun filled day.
