How to Age Paper using Tea or Coffee | Antiquing Paper in 5 Minutes or Less!

Описание: How to Age Paper using Coffee or Tea: How do you make paper look old without using an oven or waiting a super long time for it's color to change? It actually is a very easy process that you can DIY in just around 5 minutes or less! The antiqued paper is great for making "Pirate Treasure Maps," "Mermaid Messages in a Bottle," and adds an extra something special to your drawings if you like to sketch. :) This video will show you how to stain paper using coffee or strongly brewed tea so that you can compile a whole stash of it for all of your magic crafting needs. ♥ OH! And below are some of my favorite teas... not necessarily to use for dying your paper, but mostly for drinking... Hehehe! (Some work for paper dying too though ;D)

Okay, so you can really use whatever type of tea that you would like to dye this paper... personally, I like to use a tea that perhaps didn't taste quite as good as I thought it would.... (always so sad when that happens!)

HOWEVER!!!! If you are a tea drinker and would like to try a new type of tea that maybe you've never tasted before (and one that you could use for dying the paper... though you certainly won't want to waste it on that) then I HIGHLY recommend this brand right here:

TYPHOO TEA:

While I've only tried this tea in it's Decaf form (I have a caffeine sensitivity) it is one of my FAVORITE teas ever! One of my high school teachers (who was from Whales) introduced me to it and now the whole family is hooked! ♥ The flavor is so bold and the texture is so silky... I don't know why, but this one is amazing and you need to try it if you have not before! ♥

Also, Good Earth has some wonderful flavors too, though none of them are really very ideal for staining your paper. But... if you like tea, you have to try their "Matcha Maker" Green tea. Goodness gracious! They stopped selling it at my local grocery store, and it has made me so sad!! It was my favorite tea to drink in the morning (with the juice of 1/2 of a fresh lemon.).

MATCHA MAKER GREEN TEA (of amazingness!!!):

And even though I don't get to drink it much (I look forward to going to hotels JUST so I can enjoy a cup... since we don't buy it at home often!) Bigelow's "Lemon Lift" tea is sooo refreshing! It reminds me of going on vacations! ♥

LEMON LIFT BLACK TEA:

Sorry... this is all so off-topic, but I drink tea like it is nobody's business and can blab about it forever! :D

Anyways, the Typhoo tea works great for tea-dying paper and so does the Lemon Lift. However, so will just about any other strongly brewed tea that you may have laying around. :)
