Practically nothing goes to waste in our household.  Here’s a batch of miscellaneous materials that were just given a coffee bath.   For a time-worn look, I dye ribbon, trim and used dryer sheets in a mixture consisting of coffee leftover from the morning’s brew and tap water (a 50/50 blend.)      Notice that this batch sits on top of a brown paper grocery bag which I’ll most likely use again since it’s now nicely stained with coffee.

This might seem a bit frugal but I think that it’s a good idea to reuse what I already have on hand.    This way I won’t be wasting any unnecessary time or money running out to buy more supplies.  Instead, I can use  this precious time to play around in my studio…while drinking a cup of coffee!
