How to create backgrounds: coffee staining
By: Lourdes
Materials:
·         Tissue Paper
·         Spray bottle with water
·         Coffee
·         Tray
·         Absorbent paper
Instructions:
1. Place the wrinkled tissue paper in the tray
2. Spritz water on the tissue paper
          3. Sprinkle the coffee over the moistened tissue paper
4. Spread with your hands, the coffee over the whole surface. Leave it in the tray for 10 minutes.

          5. Then, carefully remove the paper from the tray and put it over an absorbent paper.
6. Place another absorbent paper over the stained paper and leave it dry 4 hours
     
  7. Once the paper is dried, remove carefully all the coffee grains and VOILA!
You can use it as background for your scrapbooking projects, cards or even tags, as the example showed here
