Tea dyed/stained muslin

I have never done this before but I am trying my hand at dying muslin cloth with tea. It gives it that old look.

First I put tea bags in a pot on the stove

Then I get my (well washed) mop bucket out and the piece of muslin cloth.

I got so anxious to see the end result that I forgot to take pictures. I filled the mop bucket with the tea water (tea bags excluded) and stuffed the material in submerging it completely then let it sit for an hour.

This is the end result.
