    My Momma passed away and I’m having a difficult time discarding her kitchen towels and potholders. I was hoping I could find a way to use them. She cooked many a meal for the sick as well as her family.
    I truly appreciate you finding a way to let me keep her memories alive.
    Bless you.

      That is one of the things I love about Natasa. I rarely buy stuff. I recently purchased a couple of pads of very pretty, special paper. My dear Husband made some derogatory comments about the cost of my hobby. I grabbed my box of paper ruffles rolls, my envelopes with paper fans, paper strips, small paper ruffles, clusters, tags, tabs; all of those things made from scraps. He was speechless.

      Thats Just Mixed Media, instead of using "regular" cloth, use towels.

    @fiberfancies Месяц назад +6

    What a fun idea! Some of these make me think the background is a bit of rug or carpet, rather than a towel. You're so right that the finished products look far better than the towels did to start with. And that last little piece you showed that you haven't finished yet might make a great bookmark! Thank you for all your wonderful creations, Natasa. I love your channel so much!

    • @marypanich9880
      @marypanich9880 Месяц назад

      Yes, bookmarks! I was thinking a spine pen loop or something along those lines for those smaller pieces! Or even a pen case for a pocket or purse. Although I don’t know how it would handle being roughed up. 😊

    Hi Natasha! Love this idea! I was fortunate enough yesterday to get several stamps, stencils and some paint. And with today being Saturday, I plan on crafting most of the day! Anytime I have the time to craft and create, that’s a good day and a fun day. Funny you did some with glitter as I bought the prettiest red paint with glitter in it yesterday too. It’s a beautiful fall red. So I’m inspired to jump in and get to it!! Thanks for such a lovely idea. I hope you have a great weekend and week Natasha. See you soon!

    Thank you SO MUCH for this video, Natasha. 🥹🙏🏼
    Last year, I bought a whole stash of new towels and thought about using the old ones for junk journals. I haven't been inspired to what to actually use the towels for, but cutting them up and gluing them on to journal pages as pockets. I even deliberately searched on RUclips what to do with terry cloth in a junk journal and came up with absolutely nothing. A lot of sewing tutorials for sewing bags and stuff. Which is amazing but really not what I've been looking for. In the end I just kept the old towels for cleaning purposes and such. I'm glad that I did, since now you gifted us with such wonderful inspiration as to what to do with them. ❤👍🏼

    You said, “I love gold.” And I started laughing when I heard myself say out loud, “Yes, we all know!” 😂
    From watching so many of your videos over the last 18 months or so, I started really liking all your gold elements! I realized how adding anything gold really adds a “touch of class” somehow, even the smallest thing! So, I bought gold paper clips and mini gold binder clips for junk journals, and am now on the lookout for other gold elements! 👍🏻😊
    I think using gold in all your projects has really become your super power! 🥰

    You amaze me! I was thinking that I would give those towels to my husband for shop rags but you did your magic again. I don’t think I will do this with towels but perhaps with “ugly” fabric. Thanks for sharing!

    Love, love these. Thks for showing the process when it doesn’t look great and how to press on. I’m inspired.

    This video made me so happy! I have towels that I want to use in art projects and this gave me a new perspective and new skills. Thank you!
