Hi. This is definitely in my Top 10 list of MOST AMAZING things I've seen in craft videos!! Those big envelopes are stunning and I immediately thought that I have to find out how you made them so I could make my own. I am planning to make a JJ as a gift to an old friend and even though I have hardly started and have only 5 weeks to complete it, I am putting everything on hold until I've made some of these papers to use in her journal. I don't use any scrapbooking paper and very few digital designs in my journals. I make all the covers, ephemera, pockets, envelopes... everything possible, from paper I've hand made, painted, stained, dyed, collaged, block printed, sewn etc. I like my journals to portray every bit of my own creativity and not just be an assembly of other people's talents. Obviously I do use copier paper, cardstock, fabric etc, but never in its original state. You have greatly inspired me with all your fresh ideas and I am truly grateful. TFS ❤❤
Thank you so much for your kind comment and for sharing your jj journey with me. We have very similar mindset when it comes to what we put inside our jj. I sometimes feel the need to alter my own digitals because the paper they are printed on seems so new and uninteresting. The journal you’re making for your friend is going to be truly one of kind. 😊❤️
I bet your JJ’s are beautiful! I too am not a big fan of using anything I haven’t made myself or altered in some way. And I have to say, that really wasn’t by choice in the beginning for me. It was out of necessity as getting started in JJ was rather expensive for me being on a fixed income. But now that I make all the fixin’s and such, (so to speak), I find I like it better or as much as already made items. Enjoyed your comment. Happy crafting friend! ❤️💜💚
I am quite the opposite I suppose bc I think that other peoples talents are unique and different than what I could have ever made. I love digitals & I also love creators that put their ideas and creations online with a tutorial just like this lovely artist has done. Would you not consider using this idea as another’s talent?
Hi! Thank you so much for subscribing, watching and for your lovely comment. Natasha and I share similar backgrounds, like place of birth, language, culture, and we both moved to Australia in similar circumstances. We are friends. Since I moved back to Sarajevo 13 years ago we haven’t seen each other in person, but we stay in touch. She is such an inspiration to me, not just because I know her personally but because she is so very talented and innovative. 😊❤️
@Saacibo that's great! You and Natasia are great inspirations to my junk journaling. ❤🎉 you both have a great way of helping me get through tough spots in my life. Junk journaling helps keep me in focus on mental clarity. Thanks 😊 ❤🎉
This is awesome! I might have to experiment with this with putting dried leaves or skeleton leaves in the layer underneath the very top one, and see how that turns out.
This has to be one of THE coolest new ideas I've seen. I LOVE it. Can you actually write on it? just brilliant. And this is why I throw NOTHING away. I'm a new subscriber. You are an excellent teacher and I love your ideas.
Thank you so much for watching, subscribing and leaving me a nice comment. I appreciate it very much. I tried writing on it with a lead pencil and using inks with stamps and stencils. There was no bleeding. Not sure about alcohol inks or markers. Have to test more. 😊❤️
I love your channel, it was already perfect but you keep surprising with even better and better content -- unique, clever, useful, enjoyable. This is just amazing - truly accessible to all and no waste process. Cannot wait to see what else you are doing with the napkins and what can be done with these no-glue-napkin-papers. 5:30 About baking paper. Another name for it is parchment paper (brown - unbleached and white - bleached). The freezer and wax papers cannot be called baking paper because those are for lining for freezing (and other creative applications of course). Their shiny side melts with hit so absolutely not suitable for baking. Thanks for the tip to iron the paper from both sides of the ‘sandwich’ and to keep stained baking papers for crafts as well.
I’m really glad you enjoyed it! Oh, I couldn’t think of the name for baking paper and I had it written down somewhere on a piece of paper that I lost in my box of scraps 😄. Thanks so much for the information about these different papers, it very useful to know. I always appreciate your nice comments ❤️😊
You've surpassed yourself with this! I love that nothing is wasted, no expensive equipment, no shiny side and the envelopes look fantastic. Can't wait to see what can be made with these.
@@marymiller5315I used Google Lens after taking screenshot of the box. I found it and in the sellers listing other views of the box showing ingredients. Screenshot again and translate. And yes, it's cornstarch 🙂Happy crafting!
@@marymiller5315 I used corn starch. You can use any starch, such as wheat and potato, or you can use ironing spray starch mixed with a little bit of strong coffee. 😊
You are so clever. These papers are gorgeous. I could see the paper with gauze making a great journal cover. Stay well. I guess the silver cloud of being unwell was an upsurge of creativity. I have been very ill this last week and have been in a fever fog but I encouraged myself to make one piece of scrap ephemera a day and noticed I felt so much better when creating. Arohanui from me in Aotearoa New Zealand ❤
Thank you again ! An idea came to me just after posting a minute ago . Do you think the silicone heat resistant oven / cake tin liners would work to iron with? The down side would be no lovely crispy coffee dyed baking paper though 😢 look out napkins …your time has come to shine ( but not in PVA gluey way!) 😂 x I’ve been reading all the lovely well deserved comments your followers have left , I’d like to say “ditto” to all of them 😊x
@@lindatabor4841 I buy starch from the supermarket, can be corn, wheat, potato or rice. It’s used to thicken the sauces. There’s also laundry starch used for ironing. You can use any of those. Ironing starch is already premade so no cooking is required. If you like to change its color, just add some ink. It’s usually just white or clear.
I no longer know what to say that I haven't already written many times .😉🙊It's so wonderful to see how you keep creating something great out of "nothing" 🧡🧡🧡Thank you for your inspiration and ideas 🫂
That’s interesting Dragana, I too was sick at Christmas time and had absolutely no energy and I just couldn’t get well. Then when I did feel some better I also started getting ideas and mine came when I was trying to go to sleep and so I had to put a note on my phone or else stay awake all night so that I wouldn’t forget them! I wonder if we had the same thing half way around the world? Anyway great that you are better now and sharing all of your great ideas with us on RUclips! Lucky us! Your explanations are always so clear! Thank you! 💕
Thank you so much Donna! A lot of crafters I know said the same thing! I’m starting to think that it must be some planetary alignment that affects creatives in a peculiar way. We are all quite far away from each other and yet we have the same symptoms. No will or motivation and then sudden outbursts of creative energy! I’m glad it’s back to normal 😊❤️
I’m so glad you showed how to do this without a sizzix. As you said not everyone has one and I appreciate it so much and will be doing this for my journals I’ll be selling at Art markets this spring/ summer and fall. Thanks so much for sharing you and your innovative ways for journals!🙏💗💗💗💗💗
Dragana, glad to hear you’re feeling better! Love the napkin paper technique- easy and effective in making the beautiful envelopes. I’m hoping to will achieve the same effect using my pretty fabrics -haven’t found napkins appropriate for into paper/envelopes etc. Thanks so much for sharing and STAY WELL! 🩷
Oh my, they turned out great!! 💜💜💜 I pulled everything out but was rethinking how to do it, without the Sizzix, as I wanted larger papers. Was planning to put my napkins between 2 pieces of heavy plastic and use a heavy rolling pin over it to get some of the liquid out. I was ready to go, but with this virus that I was lucky enough to catch 2 months ago, I have spurts of energy and then spurts of napping, lol. Was busy today getting some running done, so maybe tomorrow I can give it a try. Also ,absolutely love the envelopes, they're gorgeous!! 💜💜💜
What a wonderful idea! I was looking the other day at some ghosts and white layers of napkins, and I really wanted to utilize them somehow. This is awesome, I can definitely make this. Thank you very much for the inspiration ❤❤❤
You’re very welcome! I’m so glad you said that. I think it’s no use showing only successful attempts and perfect results. Knowing what can go wrong and how to deal with it, is just as important. ❤️😊
I am absolutely blown away by this idea of yours!! The papers came out beautifully even though they are grungy looking. I am going to try this! The vintage look is perfect! You have the best ideas! !😊😊
FINALLY!! Something unique! Just discovered your channel - subscribed! 😊 Never saw this technique before and I’m absolutely LOVING it! You have inspired me so with this method, and I thank you! 😊❤
Thank you! I love paper die and this is super. Me and my mom do scrapbooking and paper is so expensive. We run out of ideas and this is a different way of having paper. Thank u so much!
Inspirational is an understatement!! I have all these ingredients; I will be doing this very soon. Thank you, thank, thank you!! (I believe the paper you were using is called parchment paper; the same on both sides, very glassine-like, and used in baking to keep food from sticking to the pan.) Awesome tutorial, can't wait to see more! 🤩🤩🤩
Great idea, fastenating watching you deliver the final product. I love it 🎉 I'm assuming that starch and maizena are the same? Thanks for a wonderful session. So many youtubers around the world are or have been sick as I have been and still intermittently coughing😂 during December and the whole of January. You're not alone. Blessings to everyone around the globe 🌎 Denmark 🇩🇰
Glad you liked the idea! I used corn starch in this instance. I usually use it to thicken the sauces. In some places it’s called corn flour. There are starches made with wheat, potato or rice. Any will be ok to use. Oh, this thing that is making us unwell, I am beginning to think it’s some sort of planetary alignment that affects creatives 😆. We are all so far apart and yet we have the same symptoms. It global! Thanks so much for watching and for your kind comment ❤️😊
@@Saacibo Appreciate the clarification about the starch, very helpful. I have a post viral inflammatory condition, and whenever it flares up, I lose my creative mojo for a while. Have noticed lately that engaging my creativity (even organizing my supplies or watching a video like this one will kickstart my flow, and I too often have an abundance of new ideas. I do think it's part of a planetary realignment, perhaps a response to some of the powerful energies our planet is being bathed in right now. Engaging my creative flow definitely lifts me out of my post-viral lethargy better than anything else I've tried. Really enjoyed this new idea, I always enjoy finding ways to make leftover papers more interesting and useful. Having more time than money at hand, this process is especially welcome.
I love this idea.I will be giving this a try for sure. I have so many ideas ruining thru my mind as to what to make with this paper. Thank you so much for sharing this idea with us.
I’m DEFINITELY gonna refer to this tutorial when I have an excess of napkins! I really appreciate how you explained what you learned from different attempts and what to keep in mind. Also it’s true! We should allow ourselves to NOT be inspired and use it as a time for creative rest. What gentle wisdom you offer~! Thank you!
That's amazing. It looks and sounds so good!!! As a child the only glue we had was mum's homemade flour paste. I never thought about making a thinner more runny version like you made....and colouring it! I learn new things on here everyday!! Thank you!!!❤❤❤
You’re so welcome! I remember my grandmother used to cook thin version of this with white wheat flour. She would then place her crochet doilies in, squeeze to drain well, and then stretch on with pins to dry. It made them so crisp and firm. 😊❤️
Good point about using the baking sheet to keep the starch off the iron! I was thinking about doing this on my stove because I didn't want the smaller pages I would get using my Big Shot and my thought was to use muslin - which you rightly pointed out would just soak through and goo up my iron plate. I know I can just iron over a damp rag and salt to clean it up, but you saved me from that. :D (ETA: I have a ceramic-top stove. Nice flat surface to work on and easy clean-up!)
This was absolutely inspired. The papers came out beautifully and I love the sound they make. I love making special papers, so I know this will be on my list of “must-do’s”. Thank you so much for sharing. I love listening to your soothing voice.
Thank you so much! Oh, I’ve done my share of ironing shirts for my husband. Since he started working from home 13 years ago, I swore not iron anything anymore - only for crafts 😂
They are beautiful. So many possibilities are running thru my head. I am thinking about making up a bunch of these papers. Some with patterns and some plain. I want to try using rust water on the papers along with some of the techniques/ideas you showed in your 3 part series about rust water. I think combining these homemade napkin papers with the rust water and techniques from those videos the papers will turn out amazing. Thanks for sharing your creative spirit with us. You are so inspiring.
Thank you so much for your kind comment! I’m really glad you enjoyed the video and got inspired to experiment and try combining some of the techniques together. Have fun! ❤️😊
We have no choice but to take the irons out of the closet 🙃. You got a fantastic paper look, it looks just like fabric. Thank you for this idea and we look forward to new ideas from your craft kitchen 🥰
This is such a great video ! Can't wait to try it out. All your papers look gorgeous and so many things can be done with them, besides from envelopes. It's a fabulous idea and I truly thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and experience with us to create these beautiful papers !
I love that you are willing to try new things. I am definitely watching all your videos as soon as I can. Wonderful explaination on how to do it. Thank you so much inspiration.
Wow, this is the best thing I've seen in a long time! It's so wonderful! Absolutely stunning and I can make such beautiful things with it. The baking paper itself looks so amazing too! Thank you for this great tip ❤❤❤
Dear friend I ordered sm lovely napkins online and I am waiting until I get them. I hv sm napkins at home and I am downloading ÿour video now to do it when I get a week long vacation for Christmas. Thank you for teaching everything you know.tc❤
It looks like you’re using what we have here is the US, Parchment paper. Wax paper looks very different. I love your ideas! You could mix your water mixture with Koolaid and have beautiful colored papers as well.
This is fantastic!!! I saw someone use crayon shavings and tiny leaf stamps to make a faux homemade paper look that would be amazing on these white papers!!!

@@lindatabor4841 I buy starch from the supermarket, can be corn, wheat, potato or rice. It’s used to thicken the sauces. There’s also laundry starch used for ironing. You can use any of those.

Have noticed lately that engaging my creativity (even organizing my supplies or watching a video like this one will kickstart my flow, and I too often have an abundance of new ideas. I do think it's part of a planetary realignment, perhaps a response to some of the powerful energies our planet is being bathed in right now. Engaging my creative flow definitely lifts me out of my post-viral lethargy better than anything else I've tried. Really enjoyed this new idea, I always enjoy finding ways to make leftover papers more interesting and useful. Having more time than money at hand, this process is especially welcome.
What a great use for these layers of napkin! Thanks for sharing
You are so welcome! Glad you liked it 😊❤️
I love this idea.I will be giving this a try for sure. I have so many ideas ruining thru my mind as to what to make with this paper. Thank you so much for sharing this idea with us.
You’re very welcome! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching 😊❤️
I absolutely love this idea!!!!! The papers are grunge happiness! Thank you so much for sharing and you have a new subscriber! 😊
My pleasure! Glad you liked the idea! Thank you so much for watching and subscribing. I appreciate it 😊❤️
I love this! I will give it a try. Maybe sturdy enough for journal covers.
Thank you! My thought, too. Perhaps even more layers for a thicker paper that can be used as jj covers 😊❤️
I’m DEFINITELY gonna refer to this tutorial when I have an excess of napkins! I really appreciate how you explained what you learned from different attempts and what to keep in mind.
Also it’s true! We should allow ourselves to NOT be inspired and use it as a time for creative rest. What gentle wisdom you offer~! Thank you!
You’re very welcome! Thank you so much for your kind comment! I’m really glad you liked the video 😊❤️
I like the coffee in a spray bottle idea. I been soaking my paper in a cake pan and lay on my deck to dry. This keeps it less messy. 🎉
Great tip! Thanks 😊
I really loove this. At the moment i can’t try it but as soon as I can i will! Thank you
I hope you do! Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment 😊❤️
That's amazing. It looks and sounds so good!!! As a child the only glue we had was mum's homemade flour paste. I never thought about making a thinner more runny version like you made....and colouring it! I learn new things on here everyday!! Thank you!!!❤❤❤
You’re so welcome! I remember my grandmother used to cook thin version of this with white wheat flour. She would then place her crochet doilies in, squeeze to drain well, and then stretch on with pins to dry. It made them so crisp and firm. 😊❤️
@@Saacibo Yes, mum used ordinary white flour! Happy memories!!! Thank you for taking me back 60+ yrs!!!🥰🥰🥰
Good point about using the baking sheet to keep the starch off the iron! I was thinking about doing this on my stove because I didn't want the smaller pages I would get using my Big Shot and my thought was to use muslin - which you rightly pointed out would just soak through and goo up my iron plate. I know I can just iron over a damp rag and salt to clean it up, but you saved me from that. :D (ETA: I have a ceramic-top stove. Nice flat surface to work on and easy clean-up!)
Great idea! I have ceramic-top stove and it never occurred to me to use it that way! Thanks for sharing this with me 😊❤️
You made beautiful paper. Thank you for sharing )
My pleasure! Thank you for watching 😊❤️
This is genial!! Thanks for your always clear and easy to follow instructions. I love the envelopes you made. Thanks for sharing :-)
You’re very welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching 😊❤️
Thank you for sharing ❤ I don’t have a machine like you used in previous video so I was a little sad 😔 BUT this I can do!!! 🎉
No need for the machine! These papers are even better! Thanks so much for watching 😊❤️
Thank you for sharing your fascinating ideas and experiments, Dragana. ❤❤❤
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for watching 😊❤️
This is so cool! I would love to see how you make envelopes with them!
Thank you so much! I’ve released the video on making these envelopes yesterday! Hope you enjoy it 😊❤️
This was absolutely inspired. The papers came out beautifully and I love the sound they make. I love making special papers, so I know this will be on my list of “must-do’s”. Thank you so much for sharing. I love listening to your soothing voice.
You’re very welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment 😊❤️
Amazing! I also iron only for crafts. I can see my iron getting dusted off for this project very soon!!
Thank you so much! Oh, I’ve done my share of ironing shirts for my husband. Since he started working from home 13 years ago, I swore not iron anything anymore - only for crafts 😂
Love this tutorial Dragana ❤ Thank you so much for sharing ❤
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it 😊❤️

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching 😊❤️
Another great idea from you. Thank you so much!
You are so welcome! Glad you liked it 😊❤️
They are beautiful. So many possibilities are running thru my head. I am thinking about making up a bunch of these papers. Some with patterns and some plain. I want to try using rust water on the papers along with some of the techniques/ideas you showed in your 3 part series about rust water. I think combining these homemade napkin papers with the rust water and techniques from those videos the papers will turn out amazing. Thanks for sharing your creative spirit with us. You are so inspiring.
Thank you so much for your kind comment! I’m really glad you enjoyed the video and got inspired to experiment and try combining some of the techniques together. Have fun! ❤️😊
So clever and generous
Thank you so much 😊❤️
Ooh I love this!!
I’m really glad! Thanks so much for watching😊❤️

This was a wonderful idea. I'll save this video for future reference. Thanks ❤
Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked it ❤️😊
I would love to see how watercolor reacts on this “sized” paper!❤
I haven’t tried, but I have a feeling it would soak up a lot of moisture.
Thank you. These are so awesome!! What an amazing idea. So beautifully grungy and old looking. 😮 ❤
Glad you like them! Thanks so much for watching 😊❤️
so fantastic idea
Thank you! 😊❤️
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video. I love it and can't wait to see what beautiful things you will make from it ❤
We have no choice but to take the irons out of the closet 🙃. You got a fantastic paper look, it looks just like fabric. Thank you for this idea and we look forward to new ideas from your craft kitchen 🥰
Yes, no choice! Get those irons out! If I can do it, anyone can 😂😂😂. Thanks for watching my friend. I’m glad you enjoyed the video 😊❤️

You are so welcome! Thank you for your kind comment ❤️❤️❤️
Brilliant!!!
Thank you ❤️😊
You are the true experimenter and innovator!
❤️❤️❤️
I love the papers, but I think I love the faux glassine envelopes you made with the used baking paper even more!!! TFS 😺
Thank you so much! After I made the papers I couldn’t stop playing with the baking paper 😆. I just love its quality and the sound it makes.
Very nice! I love it...💕🥰
Thank you! 😊❤️
Dear friend
I ordered sm lovely napkins online and I am waiting until I get them. I hv sm napkins at home and I am downloading ÿour video now to do it when I get a week long vacation for Christmas. Thank you for teaching everything you know.tc❤
You’re very welcome! Glad you enjoy my videos. Thanks for watching ❤️
I love this idea! Thank you.
You are so welcome!❤️😊
It looks like you’re using what we have here is the US, Parchment paper. Wax paper looks very different. I love your ideas! You could mix your water mixture with Koolaid and have beautiful colored papers as well.
Thank you so much! ❤️
Amazing idea! Love it thank you so much!
You are so welcome! Glad you like it 😊❤️
Wow, this is so beautiful and such a great way to use up all the napkins. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome!😊❤️
This process is wonderful!! I can't wait to try it ! Thanks for sharing!!
You are so welcome!❤️
This may be a stupid question but was that corn starch or starch for ironing?
Not at all! I used corn starch. You can use ironing starch as well. It would be white I suppose, and I wanted my papers to tutn brown 😊❤️
@@Saacibo thank you!! I can’t wait to try this!❤️
Not a stupid question. I was going to ask the same question.😂.
I think in Australia we call it corn flour @@Saacibo
I stopped the video on that frame and enlarged it and saw a picture of a cake on the starch box, so it's a type of food starch
💜 Thank you for sharing! I love it! 💜
You are so welcome! 😊❤️
Thanks for sharing, love it!❤
You are so welcome!❤️
Gotta try... super cool!...
Please do! Thanks for watching ❤️😊
This is fantastic!!! I saw someone use crayon shavings and tiny leaf stamps to make a faux homemade paper look that would be amazing on these white papers!!!
That sounds very interesting! Thanks for sharing with me 😊❤️
This is amazing! Thank you!
You're so welcome! 😊❤️
