How to Dye Lace With Coffee
- 1). Soak your lace and swatches of lace in water before starting.
- 2). Prepare your coffee mixture; it can be hot or cold, but hot will create a darker color than cold. You can experiment with the temperature to create the perfect shade.
- 3). Dip a swatch in the mixture and watch the color of the lace; do not allow it to get too dark. When it has reached the desired color, remove the swatch.
- 4). Rinse the swatch until it runs clear.
- 5). Repeat the dipping process if you require a darker or lighter color; it can be repeated as many times as you require.
- 6). Dip the full lace the same amount of time as you dipped the swatches to create your antiqued lace.
