Opaque means "not able to see through, not transparent" which your wonderful creations are the opposite of. I think you mean to say transparent or translucent. I use the inside liners of cereal boxes to glue onto. They are basically wax paper and the glued napkins come up well. It has the added advantage of being a recycled material which I try to use whenever I can. I use Natasa's edge trick, too!
I set up a 6ft table covered w a flannel backed vinyl tablecloth as my non-stick surface. I am able to do several sheets at the same time by using a wide paint brush n slathering the tablecloth w glue mixture. With a ceiling fan running, they are dry in 2-3 hrs. Any residue glue is easily washed off of the tablecloth so I can use it over n over. It is so rewarding to peel those sheets up!
I’ve seen other RUclipsrs use a silicon mat as a nonstick surface - if you ever go thrifting you sometimes find them in the kitchen section. Also Dollar tree has thin cutting mats that may work as well. Thank you for showing how to color the glue without coffee and explaining the possibility of mold/mildew. I live in the NW of the USA and that’s a real problem!
Oh my THANK YOU for letting me know, I’ll definitely pick one up because I definitely could use one. Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know, comment and watching, it’s greatly appreciated. I’m learning so much from you all and I love this community! You are also very welcome.
If your going to store watered down glue for awhile, it will still go moldy unless you use a sterilized jar and distilled water. I found that out the hard way after mixing several jars of different colors and wasted a lot of glue.
I should have also mentioned, don’t dip the brush in the jar either, that will also contaminate the glue mixture. Pour some into a disposable cup to paint with. Don’t pour any leftovers back in the jar.
@@TheCraftydevilSpeaks awesome tips thank you! I'll be making a little notebook/journal with tips for myself as I go because I'll definitely forget lol. I appreciate your knowledge greatly. I am a learn as I go and from mistakes person so that willsyick in my head I'm sure. have a wonderful weekend
Thank you for sharing your knowledge about making paper and journals. Please don’t use anything with sparkles in it, or add sparkles to anything they are being found in our oceans and affecting marine life. Thank you.
Great tutorial! I had the same problem with wax paper wish I found your video first! I tried freezer paper and used the side coated with plastic and can’t peel off the napkin 😢oh well I’ll use it for something and will use a garbage bag next time thanks!
Absolutely awesome. Came across your tutorial by chance and absolutely no kidding, it is the best tutorial I have ever seen. You are blessed to not only be creative but also impart that knowledge and keep it smoothly interesting all along. Thank you so much for sharing. Loved it.💕
Awe thank you, you are so sweet. I'm sorry it took too long to reply, I've had some losses this past year and just getting back at it finally. Hugs, Barb
I use the white with blue, Amazon bubble mailers as my non-stick surface. Plenty of them😜🤣 , they fold up easily, I travel with them and do them in hotels. Lady them all over the floor and they are dry in the am. I mix the glue and water in a half empty glue bottle or half coffee half glue (in the hotel). Just squirt an outer ring on the mailer, brush to spread, place napkin on top, squirt more on top and spread with brush. Super fast!!
I tried the wax paper as well. When it would not release, I tried putting the page into the freezer and also tried microwaving the dry page, neither had any effect on the stuck napkin. It is still kind of pretty, but I won't use wax paper again.
Freezer paper is hard to come by. I live internet n Michigan and finally found some . But don't mean they have it next time. I seen on another video using the bag out of a cereal box. I was wondering if I could use book or magazine pages besides napkins.
Hey definitely worth a shot, it wouldn't be as see through I don't think but then again if it's thin it just might be, great ideas you have! Hugs, Barb
I find Butcher paper in the Meat Depertment. More readily available in Rural areas during hunting season for meat processing...Like in small town Wisconsin!
Your video was very good. However, when you were showing the ink, ink pads, etc. You showed up side down. Remember that the top should be toward your fingers, not your wrist.

Thorough explanation. Especially the backing where the glue is put.
If your going to store watered down glue for awhile, it will still go moldy unless you use a sterilized jar and distilled water. I found that out the hard way after mixing several jars of different colors and wasted a lot of glue.
Oh my THANK you! I'll add this info in my list as I am learning. Hugs, Barb

I am trying this for the first time tonight...used my silicone mat....can't wait until morning to see how it comesout.

Good morning. I got a silicone mat, but haven’t used it yet. It was rolled in a tube shape and has to settle. ❣️
I tried the wax paper as well. When it would not release, I tried putting the page into the freezer and also tried microwaving the dry page, neither had any effect on the stuck napkin. It is still kind of pretty, but I won't use wax paper again.
Great tutorial, thank you x ❤
Very fun and informative. Thank you. Blessings.
You can use cereal bags. It's great.
Awesome idea!
Loved this !
Awe thank you soooo much!
واااایییی چقد خوبن اینا چ جنس باحالی میشه دستمال و چسب 😍😍😍
I've seen some RUclipsrs use the cereal box liner. Open them up completely ,and rinse off before use The shiny side faces inside.
I thought opaque meant you can’t see through. I would call this transparent Or am I completely mistaken?
I would advise anyone to invest in a non-stick craft sheet or a silicone baking mat..…the ones on the garbage bag were not that attractive. Imo.
APIECE OF SELOTAPE WORKS GREAT AT GETTING THE END 🇬🇧
Awesome ❤ Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome enjoy your weekend
Freezer paper is hard to come by. I live internet n Michigan and finally found some . But don't mean they have it next time. I seen on another video using the bag out of a cereal box.
I was wondering if I could use book or magazine pages besides napkins.

I've used freezer paper, not as great as you'd expect. I use cut open Amazon white with blue bubble mailers. Watch it, they multiply like rabbits. 😜🤣
I find Butcher paper in the Meat Depertment. More readily available in Rural areas during hunting season for meat processing...Like in small town Wisconsin!
Thanks!
Loved it. New sub ❤
Could you use parchment paper, to lay the napkins on
I use freezer paper parchment is hard to peel off from. I seen your post hope is was ok to reply.
I think parchment would stick.
Opaque ...... I think you mean transparent. Opaque means not able to see through.
Thank so much, I get those words mixed up lol.
Your video was very good. However, when you were showing the ink, ink pads, etc. You showed up side down. Remember that the top should be toward your fingers, not your wrist.
Oh my, thank you !! Learning from my mistakes, hopefully quickly. Hugs, Barb
Cheaper at Tues AM
I really wish we had that store here in Canada, well it's not anywhere near me if it is, I hear it's such a fabulous store.
