- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2024
- Hello everyone! Today I am going to show you how I created a 55 foot long snippet roll made using only paper scraps and other bits and gluing on a roll of 10key tape. For starters let me just say that I didn't care for the snippet roll but once I got my hands on creating one, I absolutely love it! I also share how I store my paper scraps and hope you find it useful. Thanks for watching!
My videos are unedited and I stumble with words most times (it's a one shot deal you guys, hehe) but I do have a ton of fun creating them and hope you enjoy watching. Your comments are greatly appreciated and please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you so much for being here!

If you were late to the game on this 2 years ago, I am reaaalllyy! late. I actually came looking for exactly this: being relatively new to jj, there are terms like snippet roll, snippet strip that I would hear and hadn't seen one made. So thank you for doing this, and not assuming everyone knows. I love the idea of my scraps all being something rather than just sitting there.
Hi, thank you for being here and watching my video. I've learned that it is never too late for anything...except dinner, hehe. Glad you are starting a new Junk Journaling Journey, woohoo!
I'm glad I found this video. I too wasn't much a fan of the snippet roll because of how most people make them. That's a lot of cutting strips. This has inspired me to try and tackle my 8 drawers of papers. I haven't created anything since my mother in law passed in 2020 but this video tickled that desire again. Thank you!!
Thank you for being here and watching my video. I'm sorry about your mother in law but I'm so happy that this video has inspired you to create again. 🤗
Snippet rolls became an addiction for me after looking at the stacks of catalogs build up. Inspiration to pull out staples and cut the pages into strips that I glued into longer strips that got rolled onto empty tp tubes are what got me started.
Guilt about "waste"& "repurposing" what used to go in the recycle bin drove my actions. Your video popped up today!
I'm so glad, even if my loved ones are calling me a packrat, it's good to keep more out of the landfills.
I'm now a subsciber.
Thank you and welcome. I'm so happy you are here. Sounds like we are all about repurposing items. Lot's of junky bits have so much potential. I used up my snippet roll, too. Time to get started on a new one. I appreciate you subscribing. :)
55 feet! Holy cow, girl! I love it. Now I know what I'm going to do with my adding machine tape! Love your enthusiasm!
Hi Hilda! Lol I don't know what i was thinking but I am running low and need to make more. 😆😁😄 Thank you for being here. 😊
I’ve been using adding machine tape for years to make my own washi tape. It can also be cut length-wise to make narrower tape. Too much fun!
That's a great idea! Thank you!
That is the biggest snippet roll I've ever seen! 😄😅 But when you use up your scraps it will inevitably be the biggest snippet roll.
I forgot to mention you can use any scrap paper in long strips as a base or check thrift stores for the 10 key tape. Thank you for watching! 😘
Very cool use of odds and ends! Makes me excited for all my loose items I can’t throw out but want to make use of.
Thank you! Hope you give it a go. 😊
The roll is so big 😅 I can see how easily it can get that big 😉 watching the process was so nice it turned out so pretty. Thanks for sharing your process.
Go big or go home, lol. Thanks!
You talented ladies are driving me crazy I want to do everything I watch. Wished for more time
So many things, so little time. I hear ya! Right now because I am also pressed for time, I am getting up an hour earlier just so I can work on the new Christmas journals before getting to my other work. I'd make and create all day, believe me. :)
Yes please, with the storage ideas! I'll be looking for that video! Love your ideas so far!!
I appreciate your comments. Thank you 😊
First time watching. I’m very inspired.
Welcome aboard! Thank you so much for being here! 😊
I have been keeping some brown paper that comes with orders. Now I have a use for it ❤ Thank you for sharing ❤
You are so welcome!
Love the snippet roll. 55 feet is phenomenal!
Thank you. I had a lot of scraps, lol
Love this!!! Your process is so inspirational!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!! Be blessed. ♥
Thank you so much Katherine! 😊I'm happy to my video brought you inspiration. 😉
Love it!! I’m so glad you started making snippet rolls/strips now!! They’re so much fun and very therapeutic! I love making fabric ones!
Thank you! I'm happy I did too! I'll have to try fabric next. 😄😁😊
Funny, I've never made one either. Watched a lot of videos for it, but I think I like yours the best. I've been binge watching your videos today and I'm having so much fun! I'm sure you don't remember me, but years ago when I first got interested in JJs, I was in the group JJJs and I believe you sent me Happy Mail. Can't remember exactly what I got, but I know i kept it. When I move i'm sure i'll find it too.

Ohmygosh Leslie, I wish I could also remember. When you find it let me know. Thank you so much for being here and watching my videos. :)
I lucked out and got 5 rolls of register paper for 3 dollars at a thrift store a couple of months ago. I started making a snippet roll today. It’s not as long as yours, but it’s long enough. I can’t wait to decorate it
That is lucky. I Love thrift stores finds. I remember binge watching a television show whilst making the snippet roll and then all of a sudden it was as long as Route 66. 😅😆😁
Im a new subscriber from australia I love your paper snippet roll..genius idea!! Irene xx
Welcome and Thanks for subbing! I need to hurry up and use it, hehe :)
That's very cool! You're lucky to have g-kids to help. I'm also saving receipts to do the same.
Receipts is a good idea for a snippet roll. Thank you for watching!
This is so cute! Great idea and looks amazing.
Thank you! I'm all out. I need to make more. 😊😊😊
@@LilianGuerrero I love watching you create. 💕
@@janemarie1681 I appreciate you. Thank you for taking time and for being here watching my videos.
I haven't made a snippet roll...yet! You've inspired me! Thanks!
I'm glad that I found your channel!
Good morning Peggy, thank you for watching my video and finding inspiration to make a snippet roll. 😊😊😊 Have fun!
I love this it is something I will do with my scraps thank you..
Thank you and I'm glad you found this helpful.
Hi I love your idea ty for sharing and giving me an idea of what to do with my paper collection.stay blessed

Thank you! I learned a lot!
@@shawnmorymcmillion I'm so glad. Thank you!
Never made a snippet roll… but this is a great idea.
Thank you! 😊
You are a delight. I’m happy I happened upon this video. I must now make one. Your enthusiasm is contagious.
Brilliant!
Di
Hi Didi! Thank you, you are sweet to say that. I appreciate you watching and hope you enjoy making your own. 😊
Just watched this. Wow, I am going to make a paper snippet roll and honestly I just began sewing on paper this week. You were so delighted with the outcome, and it could be heard in your voice. Thank you for sharing this video. I am totally excited to try this now.
Thank you, I'm excited for you to try it too! Sewing on paper is so fun. :) Thank you for being here and watching my video.
Love this idea
Thank you! 😊
I need to try it. Looks great 👍
Hi Nancy, thank you. It is fun to use up all those bits and pieces of scraps. Hope you enjoy the process. :)
You'll have snippets for ever. Love this!
Lol, definitely 😆😁😄 Thank you!🥰
Just now finding your channel. I'm about to get my first sewing machine and incorporate it into my crafting. And I have ALSO not "gotten" the snippet roll. But now I really wanna try it now that ol have a sewing machine. I wanna make an 8 x 11 type sheet that'll be covered with paper and fabric, sewn haphazardly and then cut into 1" strips then attached by the ends to make 1 long strip. Can't wait!!!
Hello and welcome! That sounds like a fantastic idea. You're going to love the machine stitching on paper projects. Have fun! 😊
you are so cute! and your excitement is contagious
🤗 You are so kind. Thank you.
Great ideas..thank you for sharing!!
New sub..looking forward to catching up on all of your previous videos.
Welcome and thank you Nancy! 🤩🤩🤩
Awesome! Can't wait to give it a try. I have been saving all my receipts. I have glued them together then used Washi tape to hold them together but I haven't wanted to start making it for some reason it hasn't been something I have wanted to do until now, so thank u for sharing how u made yours and your excitement has rubbed off on me. I will begin tomorrow if the GLW!! THANKS AGAIN!!!
What a great way to repurpose receipts. I'm sure you will have fun once you get started. Thank you for watching! 😊
Hi I just came across your comment and love love the reciet idea I have plenty of reciets to use until we I get to the thrift store to get some roll of paper reciet.stay blessed,♥️
It is a fantastic idea. I love how we can share and learn from each other. Have fun!!😊😊😊
I just found you an subscribed.Will watch your other videos but a 55ft snippet roll really caught my interest.I have alot scraps an just did not want to throw them away.I will make one of these but maybe on soooo long.
Hello Sue, Thank you and Welcome! It was my first snippet roll and I wasn't sure how long it should be. I soon realized 55 feet was a little crazy, lol. But, I will say that I used up so many scraps and I think I may just do it again. ;) Thank you so much for being here! Have fun creating. :)
Awesome! I was wondering what to do with it once you've finished it so thanks for the link!
Thank you for being here and watching my video. I'm glad you like it. TY 😊
Lillian I absolutely love your snippet design! Like you I just wasn’t happy the it was being done! Wow!! I’m definitely going to try it and I will be thinking of you! When I play! Tyfs!
Hello Barbara! I'm so happy you enjoyed my design. Thank you so much for your kind words. Have fun and enjoy the process! ☺
Thanks for sharing this. I love the idea and I have a lot of scraps that need a make over into something new and wonderful.
Glad it was helpful! The never ending heap of paper scraps, lol Thank you for watching!
So cool!!! I never tried this either! And I don’t have a sewing machine…but I do have those rolls of paper!!! So, I may just have to give it a try, even without sewing!!!
Hi Ruth, sewing is optional. I'm positive you will enjoy this process. Plus, I'm certain you will come up with your own embellishment ideas. Thank you so much for watching! 🤩
You're an inspiration. I'm definitely going to copy your method, LOL, tfs.
😊😉 Thank you!
Thank you for sharing
You're welcome Karen. Thank you for watching😊
Hahaha Lilian I try to save the world one scrap at a time too lol. I think we are as bad as esch other with those scrap. I can't throw away one scrap of paper or fabric. Lovvvvve your snippet roll. Really gorgeous 😊💚
😆😁😄 Thank you! I am a total maximalist. Glad you understand 😅 So difficult to part with anything. Always trying to find a way to reuse and repurpose. 🤩
Love this
Thank you! I need to make another. :)
You are such an absolute joy to listen to! Your laughter and enthusiasm is infectious! I have made a couple of snippet rolls before, fabric and paper ones but never 55 feet long! Lol. You’ve made me want to make one now. Thank you for the inspiration. Hugs, Dee xox
Ps...Do you have any advice for sewing with metallic thread? I’ve never had much success with it.
You are so sweet! Thank you 😊😄
I honestly didn't know how long or short a snippet roll should be, lol I just kept going and going and...😂😆😅
The gold metallic thread I'm using has turned out very good. I just don't go too fast on the machine. Slow and steady has worked out quite well. 😊
Great video !! Love snippet rollsfor using scraps. Am loooking for those lids. Can you be more specific on size and maybe brand ? Costco online ap doesn’t find them even using various wordings in search bar.
Hi Thank you! They are sheet pan covers. I'll try and find the actual Costco name and get back to you. Thank you for watching!
Hola. Aquí una nueva subscriptora. Saludos desde España. 💗😺🐾
Hola Piluky! Gracias y bienvenida :)
I'm another newbie to this process...I was sidelined by a Chronic Pain injury over past 20 years. What are you using as the base? Thanks so much.
Hello and welcome. I'm using adding machine tape aka 10 key roll. You can also use fabric strips or regular strips of scrap paper, junk mail paper, magazine pages, etc. 😊
Hi. Thank you for sharing this technique. Do you know where you purchased the nesting storage trays for storing your scraps? I need something like that. Ty.
Hi, thank you for being here and watching my video. The trays are actually the baking tray plastic lids from Costco. 🥰
@@LilianGuerrero ha!! Awesome. Thanks!
New subbie. I've only just discovered what snippet rolls are from my friend Bettsydoodle. This looks like fun, I need more scraps first though 😂
Hello and welcome! They're fun to make and anything is fair game; paper grocery bags, junk mail, magazines, book pages you name it. I'm sure you will enjoy the process. Thank you for being here!! 😊😊😊
great project! what's the name of the glue you used? it's seems the perfect consistancy!
Thank you. The glue is "Art Glitter Glue". It is a great adhesive. I've a link in my description area to my Amazon Store if you would like more information about it. Thank you for being here and watching my video.
I really wish that I had the scraps to use in making one of these. When I make ephemera or a journal I use all the leftovers as I go. My scraps would fit in a regular sandwich baggie! If you have garbage bags full of scraps, please send some my way!!
No scraps?! You're amazing. You should try making one with any kind of papers. :) I try to use up all the scraps in my projects as I go, too but scraps are inevitable out here in my little corner, hehe. Thank you for being here and watching my video.
What glue are you using (brand and type), please. 😃
I enjoyed learning from you. Thanks.
I use several different adhesives depending on the project. My favorites are FabriTac, FabriFix, The Ultimate Glue, and Art Glitter Glue. :)
@@LilianGuerrero thank you!
I just bought some yesterday to try this!
That's awesome! I think you will have fun with this. Just a word of caution...you may end up with a 55 foot snippet roll, hehe :)
@@LilianGuerrero I am new to junk journals, my Dad passed in 2018, the first one ever is for his memories. I have a ton of scraps and things I did use. Thx for sharing. I got 4 rolls from the thrift shop. Yeah!
@@lorriechavez2073 I'm sorry for your loss but your work will be a great tribute to your dad. 😊💖
Love it!
Thank you! :)
Oh wow! Do you have a video about how you work with your scraps? I’m a new subscriber found you by looking for snippet roll tutorials
What kind of stamps do you use on the scraps?
Hi Dorie, thank you for watching the snippet roll video. I do have a couple videos where I collage with my scraps aside from using them up in this snippet roll. I try to use up my scraps in most projects because in the blink of any eye it becomes a mountain of scrap paper, lol. In this snippet roll I used random stamps from my stash. This one in particular was a polymer butterfly stamp. I hope you find this helpful. You can visit my home page under the video section for all my content. Thank you again!
@@LilianGuerrero awesome thank you so much 💕
@@Coffeelover_5 You're welcome!😊
@@LilianGuerrero awesome thank you so much 💕
what happens when you cut a piece off it? you then cut the stitching and does it come apart? sorry im new to this type of artwork
Hi Sarah! That's a great question. Parts of the snippet roll are cut to use as embellishments on other projects. The "snippets* are typically glued down. The stitching is added as embellishment to the snippet roll and is optional. If you're concerned about the stitching unraveling, adhesive or glue can be added to stop the thread from fraying. However, it hasn't happened to my projects because I'm adhering the snippets to other projects and if it did unravel a bit, I would not mind the "grungy" or "shabby" look. 😊 I hope this helps and you have fun experimenting with this great technique. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. 😊😊😊
Mine ended up being 67 feet!!!
Omg! 🤭🤭🤭🤭 It's so easy to get deeply consumed in making the snippet roll. Way to go! 😊😊😚
Did you say your lids are from Costco and are large bakers lids
Hi Kim, yes I did. The baking pan lids work great for me to hold my scraps. I was using large cardboard shoe/boot box lids prior to the plastic baking lids. 😊
@@LilianGuerrero I'm using 12 x 12 lids from boxes from a craft store. I just bought a children's food tray with divided sections,, from a dollar store but hope to find a larger one. It helps separating the small stuff after I have made some selections. Love you videos!
Your sister is wise not to try gelli printing. It is soooo addictive!! I have hundreds of prints and I still find myself wanting to hoard them an not use them.
Lol she will not even try but I on the other hand also love making and "collecting" my prints. 😄😁😊
I see you have a big roll of receipt paper. You might want to look into the toxicity of that stuff. Cashiers that handle it frequently have higher instances of certain cancers. The stuff shouldn't be handled without gloves.
Thank you for the information. This is not thermal paper which I've also looked into.
Thanks for the information.
Hi can I have a shout-out
HEY! 😄
You're an inspiration. I'm definitely going to copy your method, LOL, tfs.
😄😁 Yes! Use up those scraps! 😉 Thank you for being here!
