Better late than never, right? It is super easy and nice and mindless....sometimes that's nice.<br />I just add a bunch of tea bags to very hot water in a old darkroom tray I have and add paper.<br />That's pretty much it. Leave it in till it looks nice and dyed and vintagey. Just be careful taking it out because wet paper years very easily.<br />I put it on top of granite counters in my laundry room and blot it with paper towel (or a cloth) and let it dry. It gets kind of bumpy, which I like but if you prefer flat, put it under very heavy books when it is dry. And, there you go.</span></td></tr>
