I use a spray bottle-room temp, and I do stacks with paper on each side of the stencil for the stencil print and the negative. I put a little rubbing alcohol in my instant coffee mixture so it won’t grow funk. I feed the birds, and I open up the tops and bottoms of the sunflower seed bags after emptying them and slice down the seam. They make fantastic craft mats and protect my surfaces from paint, glue, and coffee

10/4/24: WOW!! Based on this video and some of the reviews I've read, I've learned quite a few tricks of this trade and I'm loving it! I can't wait to get busy trying some of the varying techniques, especially the coffee grounds and the stencils. I recently bought several and now I know how to additionally use them. This has been most informative and fun! I'm newly subscribed, I love it, and I thank you SO much. 😃

@@Itsprobablysharon 10/5/24: UPDATE and time for a break - WHEW…I’ve been a working girl today!! I’ve made MANY stenciled ones throughout the day and, OMG, I'm truly in love with this technique. Every last one of them I made came out fabulous; they almost look 3-D-ish! I showed it to my roommate, and she thought the same thing too. Heck, they looked so good that, when after I removed the stencil from the paper, it look as if it were still on. Can you believe it? Well, I've been going buck wild with it, have made at least 32 different styles, big and small, using paint and foam brushes. However, I prefer the paint brush, it's more fluid in its application to me. Someone indicated that you don't have make the coffee with hot water, so I didn't, and it worked great. This enabled me to get right to it instead of waiting for the coffee to cool down. Instead of a towel, I used two extra large, flat disposable under pads, cotton on one side and plastic on the other, with the plastic side down on my table. I have plenty of them and find them to be useful in many ways when it comes to maintaining the cleanliness of my area while crafting. When done, I toss! And now this is another way for me to use them, so hip-hip hooray! 😊 And lastly, I love the fact that you acknowledged those that shared their tips with you (and everyone) regarding their take on this technique. Not many who hosts their crafting channels do and that’s the sad truth. They'll give hearts, and thanks and acknowledge those who compliment their work, but when it comes to acknowledging the tips, or perhaps, an easier way of doing something shared by another, they'll bypass them altogether without acknowledgement, which I find to be rude. If I had my own channel I would do as you do too and acknowledge and appreciate everyone who shares their tips with me. It's how we learn, right? I mean, we don't know it all and crafting is a constant learning process and experience as we go, so kudos to you, Sharon, for being so thoughtful. I've enjoyed this experience immensely and appreciate the time you took to create and share it with the masses. YAY!! I’m now gonna be a coffee/stenciling fool. LOL! Take care. 😊

I think the reason for not having success when trying to stencil after letting the papers dry is because the papers won't lay flat. After coffee dying and drying, wet the paper again with plain water. Use just enough water to flatten the paper on both sides. Apply the stencil and make the coffee a little stronger...also you might try using a $ store plastic tablecloth so all your coffee goodness is absorbed by the paper.. Not sure all this would work out as it is in my head but worth a shot!! Love the paint method, great stencils!!!❤
@inaboucher1445 ай бұрын
I love using my large stencils for doing this as you have shown, leaving the stencils in place till they dry. The only thing I do differently is I have two cups of coffee the second cup is more instant coffee in the cup making it darker and I use that one when "painting" the stencil design. So I do some as you did here and some darker for a variety. I do mine in summer out on the deck so they dry pretty quickly. Hugs and stay well.

Hi Sharon new subscriber, Thank you so much ! Best tutorial on using stencils I’ve seen ! ( tip - add a teaspoon of baking soda to hot coffee takes out the acidity saving photos if added to your journals but for me most importantly it reduces the smell of the coffee to almost non existent when dry . I tea dye mostly because I don’t drink coffee. And the smell sometimes bothers me. My husband drinks tons of it so I’m ok with it just not so much on my paper ! Just a tip to try . Hugs and huge thank you for a Wonderful video tutorial x. Cheryl from sw Florida

Hi Sharon. Thanks for sharing your techniques. Subbed you. 🥰 You might also try using a small paint roller for your dye/coffee application. The kind with the firm/dense white foam (not the yellow sponge) work great. (Available in painting section of big box home improvement stores). Also, I like brushing or rolling on my dyes on a large silicon mat. The paper kind of sticks down to the silicon mat which helps keep the paper in place. (Big thin silicon mats are sold on Amazon as placements, counter liners, etc.) You can also brush dye directly onto the mat and press the paper into it. The dye beads up on the silicon and you can get some cool effects from that. Have fun & best of luck with your channel. 🌻

When dying paper using the oven to dry,there is no need to flip the paper. It will dry great just leaving it on the one side.
