Does anyone else start dropping off to sleep watching others craft? I find it very therapeutic watching people do their art but it’s so relaxing I start nodding and have to keep rewinding the vid 😂
I cannot thank you enough for your video. I am starting an art ministry with a group of women who have just gotten out of prison and another group of women who take care of children whose mothers are in prison. I have been art journaling for quite awhile but have gotten used to buying my supplies. For these groups I want to use only supplies that are in most households so this video has been an absolute godsend! You have kickstarted my own creativity and have given me some wonderful doable ideas to use with not only my groups but for myself! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I like the no skid mats that go under rugs, different brands have different weaves/textures. Press into ink, paint and stamp or into texture compound. I've also reclaimed some of my grandchildren's cars for the tires!! Thanks for some great new ideas!!
Amy Phillips Oh wow, that’s utterly fabulous! Lol! I expect your grandkids think you are like those vandals who steal people’s hub caps lol lol! The poor kids, won’t their little cars go any more? You really made me laugh!! Funnily enough my hubby asked me for some pieces of that anti-skid mat stuff today so I’ve got to look it out, and I shall have a look at it with new eyes, with a view to using it in art. Hadn’t thought of that one before.
Oh my goodness!!! It is THE BEST video for novices like me. I have an almost non existent budget for art. I am using my children's cast offs from their art GCSE's. I have restarted after 37 years of life and found all these super expensive equipment that artist use. A massive thank you is still not enough for your kindness. Blessed be 💞
This was fabulous! I've moved somewhere I don't have access to all the conveniences and art supplies of a big city--and my income has reduced. It's inspiring to know I can use your suggestions and my imagination to create wonderful mixed media effects.
I gotta let you know that I have been wanting to do mixed media for awhile now ur video has taken away my hesitation in attempting this art . It gave me great ideas and tips to finally start my own art journal ty for sharing ur ideas. Great video
I totally agree...I've been wanting to do a mixed media art journal but was hesitant to start one...now after watching this video,it has given me the inspiration to try mixed media art...thanks so much for sharing these ideas they are great :D
Watching in 2022. This was an awesome video. I have most of these items already. I "need" the drywall tape so that is on my list. I have tons of expired eye shadows, all of them, including the colors I don't like for my face will be awesome, especially the frosts and metallics. I also noticed that you were using perfect paper adhesive, my absolute favorite for paper. I am sorry to know that the company that makes that is out of business. Thank you for this inspirational and fun to watch video. This is certainly added to my playlist.
A lovely video! I’ve been doing this sort of thing for ages and already use quite a few of the things you suggest. When using salt, I use the coarse grain variety which gives a fabulous result. I use plastic food packaging for texture - it often has lovely bobbly bits on the bottom - and also poultry grit (made of crushed up shells, which chickens use to make their egg shells), lambs’ tail docking rings, pieces of scrap metal and plastic mesh, and Polyfilla One Fill (joint compound in the US, I think) for texture paste. Really cheap compared with artist’s moulding paste! I also use decorator’s crackle glaze (also much cheaper than the art stuff) and emulsion paint, and recycle teabags galore for lots of different things. I leave them to dry on watercolour paper which leaves fabulous marks that you can then Zentangle over with a sepia pen. I recycle old greetings cards and once made an entire mixed media album out of recycled Christmas cards, and all either recycled materials, or stuff already in my stash to embellish the pages. Fruit nets from the supermarket make lovely texture and they shrink if you melt them with a heat gun. Makes great fishing net with the addition of small wooden spacer beads from recycled junk jewellery (I get this from village fetes etc), for a seaside theme page. I use the stoma bag cutting guides that come with each box of bags as circle stencils. I save all ends of sewing threads and embroidery threads and use them for texture too. Any threads, tiny scraps of fabric, paper, sequins etc can be melted between plastic or inserted into the bubbles of bubble wrap and then ironed. If you’ve never ironed bubble wrap it’s the most fun thing - almost as addictive as popping the bubbles by hand - you hear them pop under the iron! (Always between baking parchment though or you ruin your iron.) I’m currently making a Tudor costume for an event we are going to next month, out of old curtains from Ebay. It’s an adventure doing art the cheapskate way because as you say, it does make you look at things differently and you often end up with results you wouldn’t have got the conventional way, and the money you save can be spent on those supplies that there isn’t a cheap alternative for. It’s really good to share these ideas and get other people doing all this really fun stuff! It’s got to be the most creative thing ever.
I realize this is an old vid, but I had to drop a comment to say how much I appreciate it. I’ve recently dabbled in art journaling and have fallen in love, but was stressing about expensive materials, etc. This was absolutely fantastic and very inspiring for this intimidated beginner! ❤️❤️❤️
I have tooo many bells and whistles in my stash and haven’t yet started a real art journal. And I feel guilty. This video tutorial brings the basics to light. I must get started !
I love that you demonstrated everything. I've seen videos where they just show you the product you can use and then not demonstrate how it will work. Tfs, love this.
I have to say I know ALL of these.... after doing this for, like, 11 years LOL It took a while to amass all those "little" upcycling techniques. It's good to see ALL of it in 1 place. Wish I'd have had that long ago after all the vids it took for me to learn those tricks LOL. Great job demonstrating it. I am collecting up the 2nd white layer of my napkins, using them to blot inks, and plan to use those like the inky paper towels. :) Just 1 more thing NOT to throw away. Hey we are NOT hoarders - we're crafters. :) Hehe
I love this! I also save all my inky paper towels, and try to keep them separated into colour families so they don’t end up muddy. Once they are fully covered, they go in a pizza box (recycled, of course!) ready for use. Sometimes I just get them out and stroke them because they are so gorgeous. If I haven’t mopped up acrylic paint or glue with them, they are easily separated into 2 layers so you get double for your money. Cheapskate Shoshi strikes again lol!! See my other reply, to the main vid, for my other regular recycling/upcycling/cheapskate ideas!
I am a newbie ,have watched heaps of tutorials but this has to be one of the simplest and most comprehensive videos I have seen Takes the scare factor out of starting a project. New sub from Australia Tfs
Outstanding video! An excellent overview with great pacing and demos--just enough time spent on each home product idea and info on how to use. I admire your editing skills--you have nailed it!
I like to recycle too, but realized that food boxes are meant to dissolve and break down in the dump. So, when adding wet glue, it helps break down the cardboard. I started using tape.
This is AMAZING! I am living in a foreign country and starting to learn all of this as a beginner! So helpful that I don’t have to break the bank to get started%z!
Thank you for showing these. I watched on my iPad and found myself tilting it this way and that to try and help you run the inks!!! I now know (cos I’m an absolute beginner for art journals) that anything goes. You have given me the courage to believe that I too, a Virgo! Can art journal 🌹 Rosie of Oz 🇦🇺
I love these techniques and supplies. Nice work. I especially love the brick stencils with the modeling paste and coffee grounds, wonderful texture and look.
Susan Bourrillion I made a card for my hubby once, using tea and coffee - for staining, and for the texture, and it smelt quite strongly of coffee for a while! He was very amused. I often say, “I wonder if I could make art with that...” over something I happen to see, and he usually replies, “NO!!” So I do it anyway, just to prove him wrong!
Several of these ideas were new to me, and super useful. I especially liked: coffee/tea grounds and baking soda in modeling paste, and rubber bands around the brayer. AWESOME!
Fabulous! UtterlyFabulous! I want to watch this again to make a list of all the items OR maybe I can try”recall” like that old childhood game where you look at things and then have to remember them after they are taken away.
Since I’m just starting and can’t spend a lot of money these were GREAT tips! I also found in my kitchen: shaker tops (like on spices); old meat tenderizer; cookie presses; fluted tartlets molds; old potato mashers. And that was just a quick look. I’m weary of using food products, especially grains, as here in South Texas bugs are a real issue. Thank you for the tips!
Girlllllll you knocked it out of the park. Been doing mixed media for a few years. You gave me some great tips. U went well beyond the call of coolness
Oh I am soooo glad I found you! Wonderful techniques and fabulous inspiration for a complete novice. The Challenge this time with Cotswold Crafters, my friend Sandra's blog is to make a Journal Page and I have never made one before so thank's to your Video here I will do some tomorrow 😀 Thank you for giving me my Mojo back 👍 Maria x
I have been using several of these ideas in different ways for a while now, they're awesome ideas, thank you! One other thing you can do with the toilet paper roll when you're ready to stamp it, press the bottom middle together, it makes a pretty cool pattern. ( I'm hoping to start making videos in the next week!) Thanks for sharing!
This was both fun and insightful. Like others, I loved the look you got with tea and coffee bricks. Very realistic. The frame printed on the Dominos pizza box could also be cut out and used as it is or as a pattern. An old idea, but very useful, is if you have trouble removing the extra paper layers from your napkins, just use tape to pull them off. So many fun ideas to try. Thanks for sharing.
fun, fun, did I mention fun? I freaked out a little with the egg shells but love the look! I thought I was so brave when I mixed different glittter colors in my gesso & molding paste LOL I really enjoy your videos
i have used literally everything in my art journals and bottle crafting. except for the blowing with straw.. staining with coffee and tea bags are my favourite.... love to use the cheap glitter nail polishes and the shimmer powders to give that shiny look. awesome video by the way.. u gave me more ideas and techniques for junkjournaling.. i can use some of the mixing for my coming projects..
💞💞love the tea for staining too..I also wrap nails and screws in wet gauze and put them in a jar outside forget about them then unwrap and have the best rust effect on the gauze absolutely gorgeous 🤣🤗
Amber, watching this and watching your more current videos - always a treat! You have GREAT ideas, and you accomplish them smoothly. So much inspiration! Thank you.
Wow!! What a precious find you are. I'm new to this artful endeavor and am thrilled to have stumbled across your wonderfully informative and encouraging vid. Funny, I was just doing some chores in the yard and was looking at "junk" and thinking that a simple change in hobbies has made me see everyday things in a whole new light... and then your video... 😁😁. I came into the kitchen about an hour ago and have yet to start cooking 'cuz I'm finding so much cool stuff to create with. Guess I should get busy with dinner! 🤭 Thanks for your time and effort and I look forward to learning more from you. Love from So Cal, MK
I'm using delivery pizza boxes for my tags to mount my altered dominos on. They are pretty good for that. I cut several sizes untill I found the size that looked good to me. The smaller ones can be used for another item. I did experience some curling, but just weight them down as you glue them. Anything heavy will work. Heavy books work the best
Does anyone else start dropping off to sleep watching others craft? I find it very therapeutic watching people do their art but it’s so relaxing I start nodding and have to keep rewinding the vid 😂
Yes, and I leave it on autoplay so they get as many views as possible. I do that when I leave the house, too.
Lol - so glad I'm not alone in this!
Yea same i watched this last night and fell asleep with it still playing
Yes I had to try off auto play!!
So happy I am not alone. Just watching is so calming and relaxing. The creative process is so beautiful.
I cannot thank you enough for your video. I am starting an art ministry with a group of women who have just gotten out of prison and another group of women who take care of children whose mothers are in prison. I have been art journaling for quite awhile but have gotten used to buying my supplies. For these groups I want to use only supplies that are in most households so this video has been an absolute godsend! You have kickstarted my own creativity and have given me some wonderful doable ideas to use with not only my groups but for myself! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I really appreciate the fact that you did not feel the need to chat during the demo. This is one of the most informative ones I have seen. Thanks
I like the no skid mats that go under rugs, different brands have different weaves/textures. Press into ink, paint and stamp or into texture compound. I've also reclaimed some of my grandchildren's cars for the tires!! Thanks for some great new ideas!!
Great tips, Amy!
Amy Phillips Oh wow, that’s utterly fabulous! Lol! I expect your grandkids think you are like those vandals who steal people’s hub caps lol lol! The poor kids, won’t their little cars go any more? You really made me laugh!! Funnily enough my hubby asked me for some pieces of that anti-skid mat stuff today so I’ve got to look it out, and I shall have a look at it with new eyes, with a view to using it in art. Hadn’t thought of that one before.
Oh my goodness!!! It is THE BEST video for novices like me. I have an almost non existent budget for art. I am using my children's cast offs from their art GCSE's.

The baking soda and eggshells... amazing!!! And the brayer amd and rubber bands.. omg!!
These are so cool. I think the coffee & tea one is my favorite out of all of them.
I love every idea except the book...
You do incredible work... I truly enjoy your videos Bella rose
Thank you so much, Dara! ♥

I'm scared to start mine!
Hazard Pie Lol! Just dive in and enjoy the fun. As they say, “In mixed media, there are no mistakes - just more layers!” Have fun.
I love that you demonstrated everything. I've seen videos where they just show you the product you can use and then not demonstrate how it will work. Tfs, love this.
So glad it was helpful!!! ♥
Great ideas with impressive results for anyone wishing to get started in mixed media without breaking the bank. Well done!
I used to do a lot of scrap booking like this. Now I may get back into doing it again after seeing this.

You are so welcome!
Love this tutorial! Never thought of egg shells, tea leaves or coffee grounds! Very creative!👍 😊
Thanks, Shannon!
Thanks for all of your ideas. I already use many but got many new ones too! I never thought of using coffee that way. Looks great as bricks.
You are very welcome! Thank you for watching! ❤️
Love the coffee technique and I can imagine the aroma, yum. Thanks for all these ideas.
This is the best video I have ever seen on how to make do with what you have Thank you so much 😍

That's funny about tilting your tablet!!! Just have fun and get rid of perfectionism!!! Thank you for watching! ♥
Some fun techniques! Love the coffee or tea bricks, and the fun patterns of the rubber bands on the brayer. Thanks!
What an incredible, insightful and money saving video. I’ve used combs,books, etc but not the other items. House full of art supplies 👍👍
I love these techniques and supplies. Nice work. I especially love the brick stencils with the modeling paste and coffee grounds, wonderful texture and look.

Thank you so much. I will never look at trash the same way again. Genious!!
I knew some of them but didn't know quite a few. I particularly live the coffee grinds and the way you use texture! Great video....thanks so much !
Thank you!!! ❤️
Several of these ideas were new to me, and super useful. I especially liked: coffee/tea grounds and baking soda in modeling paste, and rubber bands around the brayer. AWESOME!
Thanks for watching, Effie!
This is really inspiring...especially the “bricks” using tea and coffee grounds. Genius.
Excellent tutorial for recycling/upcycling! TFS!
Fabulous! UtterlyFabulous! I want to watch this again to make a list of all the items OR maybe I can try”recall” like that old childhood game where you look at things and then have to remember them after they are taken away.
Oh no, I’ve been trying to declutter, now I think I’ll never get rid of anything again! 😂😉💖

Amazing. Can't wait to try all of these techniques.
Awesome ideas some I've seen or used but others never and it's always good to refresh at least for me I forget things

Good ideas to help anyone beginning in journaling-you don't have to spend a fortune on products. tfs
What an inspirational video! Love the coffee and tea ideas. Thank you
Thank you for watching, Betsy!
This is one of the most informative videos I've watched yet. I have learned so much. Thank you 🥰
You are very creative!
Very beautiful your work was worth giving the choice of materials of easy acquisition, congratulations.
This was fantastic. I learned several new things to make texture with.
Love this video! So many creative ideas! I also appreciate how to the point it is. Thanks for sharing!🌹
I have been using several of these ideas in different ways for a while now, they're awesome ideas, thank you! One other thing you can do with the toilet paper roll when you're ready to stamp it, press the bottom middle together, it makes a pretty cool pattern. ( I'm hoping to start making videos in the next week!) Thanks for sharing!
That's a cool tip! Thanks!
Wow who knew old waste could be made into art. Really enjoyed this video TFS
This was so inspirational.
Thank you SO much, Denise!!
Thanks for a fun video! I learned some new ones. Loved the tea and coffee...now I must go buy a brick stencil!
Pam Burke I made a brick stencil out of an old plastic document folder, on my cutting machine. It’s one of my favourite stencils.
Thoroughly enjoyable. Love this kind of video. Thank you!
Thank you, Andrea! ♥
awesome ideas...wow!! Never would have thought about these ideas!!
Brilliant ideas !!! Love the elastic bands and tea bags with paste. Great video 😊
Thank you, Heather!
Yeah the tea and coffe are actually things that I haven't seen before. Will try!
Excellent tutorial for recycling /upcycling 👌👍
Ah, you're a clever girl! Some great ideas here 😀👍
