In this episode of Tune In Tuesday, you’ll discover 10 methods for creating collage papers using a simple yet versatile ingredient—coffee. Coffee-stained papers add warmth and depth to your artwork and are perfect for a range of projects, from junk journaling to advanced collage techniques.
Obviously, the star of the show is instant coffee or espresso, which you’ll mix with water to achieve your desired shade. In addition to coffee, you can also experiment with acrylic paints for a more archival result. The flexibility of coffee staining means you can use almost any kind of paper—sketch paper, copy paper, rice paper, and more- which are all suitable.
Harness the power of everyday objects like bottle caps, forks, pasta, rice, and salt to create a wide variety of one-of-a-kind and gorgeous collage papers.
