a smooth brown colouring
ever wonder what to do with those left over grinds?
you can coffee dye two ways.
the coffee dip or resusing the grinds.
both make brown, the coffee dip offers a light bown(but if you leave it over night it gets darker)
the grinds also offer a light brown. just remember to filter the grinds.

Step 3
using coffee to paper dye.
get a large square pan(banking sheet works)
place the sheet down. pour the coffee over(cold coffee works best)
leave for a hour and take the sheet out and let dry.

Will this wash out (or fade a ton) when washed? I've thought of trying tea/coffee dying but I had forgotten all about it

hmm interesting but can instant work as well? and can you leave it in long enough for it to turn black?

I saw threadbanger dye some jeans in coffee... I have yet to try it. I love how coffee smells but can't stand the taste so using it as dye is the only way I'll ever make any
