In this short tutorial I'll show you how I dye papers for my junk journals, and how you too can use this method which produces lovely results in the easiest and cheapest way!
You will need:
- food colouring in water (or if coffee dying - use the darkest, cheapest instant coffee jar you can find).
- spray bottle
- storage tub - this just keeps your area clean. You can use whatever storage container you have lying around, but i find a deep storage container works best to stop the spray from getting all over your surfaces, or the paper blowing away in the wind when its drying.
- gloves (to avoid having blue hands for a couple of days!)
and of course: a variety of your favourite papers, ephemera or even fabrics for dyeing! I once dyed an entire wedding dress in food colouring, so this method does also work for fabric!
