Dying Crepe Paper Delicate Colors

Crepe paper generally has very intense colors. This tutorial shows you how to achieve delicate colors using alcohol inks and coffee. Let’s make antique pink and yellow. Here I’ll dye heavyweight crepe paper. I recommend paper by Cartotecnica Rossi or Werola. In the US you can purchase this paper from cartefini.com and Petalsandpearlsdesign.com Make sure you have appropriate ventilation when using isopropyl alcohol dyes. Work outside or near an open window. Dyes can stain. It’s easy to dye paper and clean up if you work inside your sink. Make sure you have a place to dry your paper that’s protected from drips. And yes, your paper will smell a little like coffee, but not for long. #crepepaperflowers #diybouquet #alcoholinks #dyecrepepaper #antiquepink #flowers #heavyweightcrepe
