Part 1 of 2 of me showing how i was staining my paper.

herbs i used for stain:

jasmine flowers
rosehips
calendula
peppermint
lavender

i filled a 1qt mason jar about half way w/ herbs and poured almost boiling water over them. i let it sit for a while--the longer you let it sit the deeper the color will be.

then i strained the herb out and squeezed all the stain out of the herb. poured the stain into a cake pan and began dipping my paper into it.

oven at 200 degrees. i used cookie sheets to lay the paper out on after i dipped and crinkled it. (let excess drip off so it dries quicker in the oven)

**once the edges start to dry out in the oven pull it out and VERY carefully flip over the paper--this is so it doesnt stick to the pan.
then every few mins flip the paper so it dries evenly.

the paper didnt take very long to dry so stay close by so you can keep checking on it so it doesnt dry out too much and become brittle.

happy staining! :D BB
