Tea staining wooden wares…
Happy Monday!
After collecting a bunch of wooden wares I decided to finally pull my collection together. However, many of them were newer and whiter than I Iike. Time for a little aging with tea.
Gather your wooden wares in a container or two…
Brew some tea then pour tea over top and
submerge items.
Let set for however long you want, repeat as necessary for color you wish to achieve. Remove. Dry.
And display...
Remember that they are still usable because you stained them with tea, so you can grab one whenever you need for cooking.
This is also how you stain fabrics. :)
Until next time…
