    Tip! Glue your page and lay the glued page face down ON TOP of the upside down napkin! Easier to control, and less wrinkles and potential tears! 😁

    Hi Valerie I am so glad I found your channel! Months ago I found your channel and used this technique to make one of my junk journals. I am going to add your channel to the link. Love love this technique, thank you!

    I was just watching another video where the Lady took the napkin, covered it with a sheet of card stock, then took a warm iron and ironed one corner and it made it easier to separate the napkin layers.
    Hope that helps.

    Hi Valerie! I just love this video and your envelopes. I can’t wait to try some.. I just stumbled upon your channel and I am subscribing to you. Can’t wait till I watch more. I think I might add a magnet closure. I use one magnet and one metal washer to make the closure. It saves on magnets. I’m a senior citizen and have been crafting for over 50 years. I love pushing my comfort zone and trying new crafts. Happy crafting!

    Good video with creative ideas ! I've been saving old church music books, now I will make envelopes out of the pages. Like the napkins too. I have old maps too. I'm excited to finally use all the things I've been saving ! I teach beginner watercolor classes to Senior citizens and the envelopes with watercolor is a great project for them with a hand-made card. Thank you!

    Thanks for the interesting video. I enjoyed your method very much. Quick and easy. I like to have a card or something in mind for my envelopes, So they need to fit the envelope. It wouldn’t be too hard to guess the size needed with your method. I love, love envelopes, though. Even using old business ones with glassine openings are fun to work with. Good to recycle them, too, from junk mail. The insides of “safety” envelopes sometimes have neat designs. Leslie, I am so happy to find your channel.

    To pull apart the napkin layers, take a small piece of tape and wrap it around your fingers STICKY SIDE OUT to form a ring, then apply it to the plain side of the napkin and pull up. It will cause a small tear that will allow you to pull the rest of the layer off easily.

    Here's a tip I saw recently for separating the layers on the napkin... Take a small piece of Scotch tape and put it right in the middle and pull up gently. It opens up a hole to pull away the layers effortlessly😏 I like your creative ideas and easy way of making envelopes.

    Use a piece of scotch tape and attach the end to the back of the napkin and pull it will pull up the first back layer. You can use the same piece of tape using the other end for the second layer....presto easy removal of the back two layers of the napkin. Also use an old plastic key card or credit card to smooth your napkin..

    Might want to gently iron the napkin before adhereing to get center crease out, reduce chance of wrinkles.
