What a terrific idea. As you mentioned, the texture and “noise” are an added bonus. I love paper that satisfies my tactile and hearing senses. Btw, I often use essential oils to add “smell” to my journals, so you have sight, sound, touch and smell…!!!!
Any moment now here in Richmond Virginia there is about to be an ice storm moving thru slowly...but who cares .. i have paper to spray paint!! Im going outside... Super Excited bc i lovvvve anything that resembles vellum or glassine... you are 👏 AWESOME!! Just know one thing...Nik the Booksmith ... YOU ARE LOVED!!!!
Also, you could do what I do. When I find a napkin I like and want to do the technique with the pattern on the napkins. I scan the napkins with my scanner, then I can print it on a heavier paper such as vellum, tracing paper, etc. :)
@@LollyPalooza You could also tack the napkin to the freezer paper with an iron. It will peel right off. I have one of those irons that have a small triangular head which will work great.
This is an awesome idea. I've made them using baby oil but it's a huge mess. I've got tons of napkins. Tfs. Oh a little tip. When you're mod podging, if you will tear a piece of plastic wrap and ball it up, it makes the perfect tool for smoothing your project and doesn't stick or tear. 😉
Dear Lolly, I can’t thank you enough for your advice to razor off with a ruler and craft knife the uneven excess of the interior journal pages. I’ve made two JJs; each time it was crazy-making, trying to cut off excess with my trimmer, first the right side of one page, then the left, until everything fit inside the cover, but nearly as unevenly as when I started. Also, I too watched Nik’s Video, now yours, and am ready to go outside with my giant piece of cardboard, ,my spray shield, and start spraying some napkins. In addition, you might find excellent pointers on decoupage through Patti Elhoff’s tutorials. She’s done nothing but decoupage for like decades. For instance, always spread the decoupage glue from the center out. Patio elf. Upcycle with Decoupage. I’m so glad to now be a steady viewer of yours!
This is fantastic! I too am very tactile and one of the reasons I love papercraft is the feel and the noise. I love love love it. The journal turned out beautiful! Natasha from Treasure Books led me to you and so glad she did! Love your channel. Thanks so much for sharing.
That was so clever! From a Glassine Napkin to a finished journal in less than 30 minutes! So very pretty and the embezzlement’s were a stroke of genius. Thank you for sharing this idea.
Thank you for sharing this technique. I have a ton of napkins. I watch Nik's video on making glassine paper and never even thought about making glassine napkins. I love the flower idea too.
The sound and clarity of the sprayed napkin almost reminds me of sewing pattern paper. I love it. This is a must try! Great take on Nik's DIY Glassine!
Hi I am so glad your video popped up-your idea and tips are so good. I love how you covered the jar with the plastic wrap to keep the modge podge from drying out. I love reading the comments also--they all are so helpful-Thanks so much for making this video--It is great to have this technique on the back burner--have a blessed day.
I love this project. I ordered the twine and tapestry needle from your store not knowing exactly what I was going to use it for; now I know one thing to use it on. I love me some Tuesday Morning napkins!!! I usually hit the discount section in the back of the store first to see which ones they have there, then I go to the other section where they are kept. Thanks again for the inspiration your provide. Have a blessed day
This is so creative, thank you for sharing! I saw the video Nik had posted awhile back but I kept thinking that can be the beginning of so many other ideas and here you are! 😊 thanks again for sharing.
Love this! I watched Nik the booksmith's video the other day, it was wonderful! I just love how one person has this really cool idea and other crafters just run with it and light bulbs are going on all over the place! TFS! Ps very cute napkins!
@@LollyPalooza yeah, but then for most of us paper addicts, watching nik will have sparked similar trains of thoughts, so inspiring. Really liking the crackle of the one ply, you're a bad influence too, just bought more napkins to do this XD
The first video of yours I've watched! Love it. I have lots of napkins in my stash and now have another way to use them. Looking forward to watching more of your informative videos. Thank you for sharing you crafty knowledge.
I really like the way Modpodge feels. I always mod podge all my covers because it gives that layer of protection. Thank you so much for sharing this. I will have to try spraying my napkins.
I am also wondering how gift wrapping paper would work, but unless it's super cheap wrapping paper, I think it's too thick. Maybe cheap wrapping paper from the Dollar Tree.
Omgosh this is fantastic! You answered all the questions I had as you went along! I love working w napkins n I cannot wait to get this spray to try! I have been using double sided rolls of tape to adhere my napkins to paper to make card fronts! This is gonna make it so much easier!!! Thank you thank you!!!!
My spray box is a cut down cardboard carton. I use straight pins in the corners and middle edges. It pierces through the paper and box and holds it down quite well. I always trim the edge off my paper after it’s dry anyway ( sometimes the napkin ripples along the edge or doesn’t get quite enough spray) so the pin holes get cut away
I just love watching you. I watched a video posted this week doing this. Thought it was their idea but of course you did it first. 😝. It’s calming listening to you. Love how you explain things I would normally do. You save me. lol
LOVE the CRINKY!!!! I love the feeling of old crinkle paper!! I do have a BIG stash of napkins. I don't have that spray, but I do have other stuff, going to head outside and see what happens. Thank you so much for all the tips!! Love your videos!!
Great ideas. Have you seen the technique of adding modpodge to the paper and letting it dry. Then add your napkin on top of the dry modpodge and iron on top of napkin with piece of parchment on top. The heat of iron will melt the modpodge and fuse it to napkin with no wrinkles at all
no! Nice idea! I have placed my card stock down, then a sheet of plastic wrap, then the napkin and a protective paper such as parchment. I have ironed that together so that the plastic wrap melted and adhered the napkin to the card stock
I don’t dispose of the first and second ply because I use them. I love using the in between ply because there is often a very light pattern on them that is nice for collaging. The totally white layer makes a great looking faux rice paper. You can adhere leaves and dried flower petals on it which gives it a mulberry paper-like appearance. There are a couple of videos on RUclips about how to do this. I’ve varied the technique I saw in the videos by using rice paper sketching sheets as a base.
Great ideas! Those black and white napkins are lovely! One thing... And it's just a pet peeve of mine so don't take this personally, it just irks me, is... You are INKING the edges, not distressing them. People always think distress ink makes "things" distressed, it does not, it makes them inked. Distress ink is water reactive... Which means the ink ITSELF is distressable, not the object it's on! It is an ink that has been made to react with spritzing, creating a blotchy "distressed" effect of the original solid colour. I'm no ink "chef" lol so can't remember the exact ingredients the ink has that allows it to do that, but there are videos where tim holtz explains how it works. The newer distress oxide inks turn white and chalky when spritzed giving a blanched kind of look. So if you like making your page edges look old and distressed, any old brown ink pad can be used, it doesn't have to be branded distress ink! Most people pay more for distress inks, yet never use them to their full potential, if you just want aged page edges, buy a cheap ink pad! 😁😁😁 EDIT*** found a link where tim holtz explains xxxxxxx ruclips.net/video/sdQ21YvFFVA/видео.html
thanks for the explanation. I will most likely still use it as "distressing" as referring to applying his brand of distress inks. :) I see your point though
@@LollyPalooza thank you for your positive response! I was expecting my head being bitten off when i really didn't mean it badly! Literally it's like one of those lil things that makes me get an eye twitch or something, like people scraping fingernails down a chalk board... And of course i knew what you meant and everyone says it, just sharing one of my lil irks! Plus of course some people may not have realised all the ways to use distress inks, OR may have been saving up for a few and don't intend to be all arty with them, in which case, any will do. In fact, i also initially lusted after them, then realised I could save my money, as I'm a crafter, not an artist! Now I need to find that gloss spray ... and some beautiful napkins like yours. Ps: we tend to call them serviettes in England too, and call the cloth ones napkins. It's where we get the word "nappies" from, as babies had terry toweling cloth squares folded into triangles and pinned on before the invention of disposables nappies! (What you call diapers! Now there's a strange word... Diapers....wonder where that came from...?) 😘😘😘
What a cute idea. If you’ve never tried to adhere your napkin to paper with plastic wrap, you should really try it. It comes out amazing! It’s very easy to do. It’s far quicker than the mod Podge. Technique.
Hi Lolly! What a fun project! I can actually say that I don't have any pretty napkins, just everyday white napkins. As much as I like this project, I don't think I would do it simply because I don't have an outdoor space to spray. Thanks for sharing! I really like how you explore all the crafty option. God bless you and yours, Tree
I have been opening my garage door and spraying, and then I lowered the garage door to about 8" off the ground so it stayed ventilated while it was drying.
There are some tutorials on RUclips where they paint one side of the napkin's single layer with 50/50 mixture white glue and water. Let dry, do other side, let dry, repeat. Use plastic side of freezer paper to work on and it won't stick. This is supposed to make a faux vellum or faux glassine "paper".
I love this! Ordering napkins and already purchased the Rustoleum spray! I can't wait to make these and add them to my journal. They are gorgeous!! Thank you, Lolly!!
This is the first of your videos I've watched. I very much enjoyed it. Your voice is very pleasant and calming, reminds me of Elizabeth Elliott. Thanks for sharing.
I am so very excited to try this I don't have that exact product that you use but I do have something very similar so I'm gonna give it a try before I go spend more money but thank you so much for sharing this I feel like my junk journals are gonna look one million times better because I have way too many cute napkins that I've traded over the years
With the flower idea, you could punch with a pale pink for example and layer it in between the black and white napkin print . Or layer a pink napkin layer in between. And then save the regular paper “ punch backer” flowers for another project.
sweet layers! Great idea. I had originally ended my video after the notebook. The next day I went in and filmed the flowers. I had another idea, too, but I thought I'd better end the video!
Another tip for what to do with the white backs of napkins is to stamp images onto, and make your own collage type napkins. Nothing goes to waste. Great ideas everyone. Take care and God bless. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas
This is such an awesome idea!! I did it the last couple days and now am creating some really cool stuff with my new stronger napkins!! Yes, a napkin trade is needed. Although, if I leave them out, my dog thinks they're a little treat for her to munch on!! (the fresh ones not the sprayed ones!)
i learned from PatioElf that you can smooth out the modpodged napkin by laying a piece of plastic wrap over it and hand smooth. She is the napkin decoupage queen!!!!
They don't stink too badly. BWAHAHAHA! Lots of ideas - thanks. Can't wait for the We R Memory Keeper's video. I am stepping way out of my comfort zone and making a December Daily for a friend who is a sister to me. I have that tool and have no idea how to use it. I have never made any type of journal.
First time viewer here. Cool tip! I have another use for the plain back ply of the napkins. I use archival ink and stamp images on it to make tissue similar to the first napkin you used in this video! Use for decoupage or you can make this glassine paper with it.
The flower was beautiful. This is a great idea, thank you. The first person I saw the little dots on the ends of your sewing thread was Clare from My Creative Spirit. Love your ideas & videos.

The napkins now remind me of vellum. Crunchy and everything. I love it.
yes! I love crinkability!
What a terrific idea. As you mentioned, the texture and “noise” are an added bonus. I love paper that satisfies my tactile and hearing senses. Btw, I often use essential oils to add “smell” to my journals, so you have sight, sound, touch and smell…!!!!
awesome!
I thought it was only me lol

i LOVE napkin swaps..am subscribing- I love to deccoupage and iron naplins wo adhere to cardstock. I lvoe learning new techniques.
Thanks for subbing!
Thanks to Nik I am spraying anything paper! To deal with the blowing around problem, I lay my paper on cardboard and use straight pins in the corners.
Good idea about the pins. I actually had put my freezer paper on cardboard, so that would work.
@@LollyPalooza You could also tack the napkin to the freezer paper with an iron. It will peel right off. I have one of those irons that have a small triangular head which will work great.

thank you. Someone suggested alternating paper flower punch outs with napkin flower punch outs.
The sound and clarity of the sprayed napkin almost reminds me of sewing pattern paper. I love it. This is a must try! Great take on Nik's DIY Glassine!
sewing patterns are great for spraying, too!
I don't really do this type of crafting, but Lolly you make it look like I can get into this! Thanks for your creative tutorial!
there you go! I appreciate you having an open mind and watching anyway!

I never find beautiful napkins like this.

I saw someone decoupage a napkin to a vase and she used bunched up cling wrap to smooth the napkin instead of her hands, which worked very well.
yes, another viewer suggested I try this, too. It's on my "to do" list :)
Love this! I watched Nik the booksmith's video the other day, it was wonderful! I just love how one person has this really cool idea and other crafters just run with it and light bulbs are going on all over the place! TFS! Ps very cute napkins!

Thanks so much Lolly for sharing your take on Nik’s idea. I agree a respirator mask is important. The flower is adorable!💖
thank you!
Beautiful! I would use the extra ply to stamp on (permanent ink) and make my own designs, then turn that into the “glassine” page. TYFS! ❤️🦋💜

Thanks Lolly, I watched niks channel. I was hopeful she would try napkins. I'm glad you did it worked great. Thanks
You are so welcome!
Thanks for sharing this great technique!
you bet! Thanks for watching
With the flower idea, you could punch with a pale pink for example and layer it in between the black and white napkin print . Or layer a pink napkin layer in between. And then save the regular paper “ punch backer” flowers for another project.
sweet layers! Great idea. I had originally ended my video after the notebook. The next day I went in and filmed the flowers. I had another idea, too, but I thought I'd better end the video!
Learned alot of good info want to try to make
perfect. Love to hear it
Another tip for what to do with the white backs of napkins is to stamp images onto, and make your own collage type napkins. Nothing goes to waste. Great ideas everyone. Take care and God bless.

thank you. Yes, a couple other viewers suggested this, too Must try!
You sure gave me some ideas. New subscriber. Thank you!
Awesome! Thank you!
This is such an awesome idea!! I did it the last couple days and now am creating some really cool stuff with my new stronger napkins!! Yes, a napkin trade is needed. Although, if I leave them out, my dog thinks they're a little treat for her to munch on!! (the fresh ones not the sprayed ones!)
haa! Your dog loves beautiful things!
@@LollyPalooza Yes! She has wonderful taste. . . or they just taste wonderful!! :))
i learned from PatioElf that you can smooth out the modpodged napkin by laying a piece of plastic wrap over it and hand smooth. She is the napkin decoupage queen!!!!
I have heard that! Not sure if it was her nor not, but I did see a video on it. I haven't tried yet
They don't stink too badly. BWAHAHAHA! Lots of ideas - thanks. Can't wait for the We R Memory Keeper's video. I am stepping way out of my comfort zone and making a December Daily for a friend who is a sister to me. I have that tool and have no idea how to use it. I have never made any type of journal.
this pamphet stitch is easy to learn and a good one for beginners.
Fabulous idea! Thinking gift wrap tissue as well ❤
Yes! Thank you!
First time viewer here. Cool tip! I have another use for the plain back ply of the napkins. I use archival ink and stamp images on it to make tissue similar to the first napkin you used in this video! Use for decoupage or you can make this glassine paper with it.
great idea, too! Welcome to my channel!
These r sum great ideas. Keep playing around to see wut else u can make out of these. I'd luv to see more.. Tsmfs!!
thanks so much!
Loved it 😍
thanks a bunch
The flower was beautiful. This is a great idea, thank you. The first person I saw the little dots on the ends of your sewing thread was Clare from My Creative Spirit. Love your ideas & videos.
thanks so much
Very cool! Thank you.
you bet! Thank you for watching :)
I LOVE that black and white napkin! I'm going to have to go to Tuesday Morning to see if I can find it.
it's a great napkin! Love the design
I just love your videos! Thanks for sharing this process!❤️
many thanks!
That is so cool.. I am wanting to make some travel journals. And that is just a really neat idea.
it's fun! I remember getting a journal years ago that had an occasional lovely thin sheet in it just for looks. This reminds me of that.
