Your videos are wonderful & have really helped my mental health during the UK lockdown.. Thank you for all your hard work!

I’ve used tea before to dye paper

[@jimmd68]

I use either brewed tea or coffee in a tray and then dry the paper in an oven on very low. Instant coffee works well, too, as you demonstrated.

[@NatalieGrace99]

Diane, if you have access to it, i think you would very much enjoy vellum paper 😊 it is thin and has a lovely sound especially when weathered with coffee 😊 it has very crisp crinkles that aren't too loud and the paper tears also very quietly, if you were to make for example a video where you make labels from weathered paper 😊

[@palinite]

This video really brings back some fond memories! We used to do this for homework and the way my mum used to do it was she would take some of her art paper and tear the edges to get uneven frays. Then she would scrunch it up into a tight ball for a minute, unravel it, lightly sprinkling it with water before stretching it back out and laying a big ol' book on it. (This was apparently to get the stiffness out of the paper & to set the big creases) After a couple of hours she would take some lukewarm water and a tea bag. Take the paper, lightly scrunch it up again and place it on a flat surface. Take the tea bag, dip it in the water, squeeze it and run the tea bag over the frayed edges and larger creases ONLY. Immediately put on the radiator to dry asap. Then back under the book for 30 minutes. She would make up a coffee solution in a big tray (she used liquid coffee) remove the paper and place in the tray to soak for no more than 2 minutes. Remove, hang on the line & hey presto! Unnecessarily complicated but extremely cool paper for your teachers to get impressed by :D Also, I love paper based videos. This one and the wrapping inkwell are my go to ones. Thank you x

[@missimperfectlyfine7]

that’s awesome!

[@badlieutenant536]

I first discovered ASMR when I was searching for paper sounds, having found the sound of paper gently crinkling to be very relaxing. This video took me back. Thank you for the effort and care in the video. It's truly exceptional.

[@Missakiah]

Y’all I fell asleep watching this and woke up at “we are going to dye” and when I say I started panicking

[@marianesantos4756]

once I did this with coffee, to make a hogwarts letter for my friend who loves harry potter, she also loves coffee and her gift had a cozy scent of coffee all over it ☕😅

[@daisyreyes9132]

[@emptyness2583]

We used to use a dark tea to make paper look aged (dried in the oven). Burning the edges can give it a cool effect also.

[@moonwatcher5134]

I dyed my paper with coffee last semester for art projects. Very cool and effective. 👍

Part of what makes your videos so special is your elegant use of language. Thank you for this incredibly interesting and informative video!

[@claremiller9979]

This was both incredibly relaxing, and provoked a random thought - I wonder what people from the past would think about us modern folks going to such lengths to make stuff look old? I don't think this really became a "thing" until we had machined paper or even later, unless you were working on a play or movie making props. Don't get me wrong, I like the aesthetic too, it just made me think what an odd thing that might seem to like, to someone who had never seen printer paper before.

[@rickeebutterworth7634]
