Dying leather with natural materials.

Have anyone tried dying with coffee or stuff like that? Maybe some green tea? !

Yes, there are a number of natural materials that have been used over the years. Coffee, tea, nuts, berries, flowers, and metals have all been used to stain or dye leather. I haven't tried many of them. We had a pretty comprehensive list, including directions for making them, somewhere on here.

I have used very strong coffee and have made stain from green walnut outer hulls. Both look very dark yet produce and quite pale color unless multiple applications are made. the coffee made a perfect color on prong-horned antelope I carved some years ago. Mike
