INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1: Material Set-Up

Choose light, coloured card-stock sheets of your choice
Choose earthy tones to complement the coffee-stain
We went with a white card-stock sheet

STEP 2: Cut the Cardstock

Cut the cardstock sheet of length 15 cm and width 5 cm

STEP 3: Make the Coffee Paste

This works best with instant coffee powder
Mix instant coffee powder with water in a flat saucer
Consistency: medium thick paste.
It takes just a couple of spoons of water. So, go slow while adding water.

STEP 4: Pattern and stain away

Place the bottom end of the cup in the coffee-water paste
Lift the cup and place it on the bookmark
You should get the impression of a cup-bottom on the card-stock sheet
Pattern away various shapes and sizes of coffee stains!
Allow bookmark to dry. Should take about 30 mins
If the consistency is too thick, then the bookmark gets sticky. It might damage your books. So, watch out
Test it before you start using it.
