Thank you for your comment, have a great day!

Thanks for stopping by, I'm glad you liked it! Have a great day!

Your welcome. Have a great day!!

Thank you, I hope this helps if you ever want to do it too. Have a great weekend!

Good morning. I'm sure you can "decoupage" the tissue paper to a candle. But would the paper not catch fire when the candle burns? Maybe not with the right glue? I'm sorry that I don't have a solid answer for your question. Enjoy your week!

Good morning, yes, it does not take long at all to colour paper this way. Thanks so much for your nice comment, have a great day!!

Good morning. I got the paper bead rollers from Etsy, just type in: paper bead roller, and some will come up. Then you just pick the one you think would work best. I had to write the size on the wood as it was not very clear. But I'm sure you can find it on Amazon as well. Have a great day!!

Thank you for your kind words, I'm glad it turned out like you wanted. Have a blessed day!

Thank you for the nice comment, have a great day!!

Thank you for the nice comment!! Have a great day!!

You are welcome, enjoy!!

Thank you! Have a great day!

I use an inkjet printer, that is why I heat set it with my iron, if using a laser printer, heat setting is not necessary. Have a great day!

Hi, more gelatin will make it firmer, but you don't want it too firm. Hope this help answer your question. Have a great day!

Hiya, thanks for this. Made first plates today and they looked perfect until I started handling them. They were too floppy and the surface sheared and cracked. So back in the pot tomorrow with more gelatine :)

Hi, thank you for sharing this info, every country has different names for tissue or tracing paper, both work!! Have a great day!!

Thanks! Great tip :)

What did you use for the freezer paper? I don't think this is available in Australia

Thank you! I appreciate the positive comment. Hope you have a great week!

Thank you! I appreciate you stopping by and leaving a positive comment! Have a great day!!

Hi, I mostly use regular copy paper, which is usually 20lb, but if you want a bit more weight to it I recommend a 24lb paper, it gives it a bit more body and feels a bit more professional. If you want to go all out, you could use a 28lb paper. You'd have to shop around for it, as I don't know if a Staples kind of store carries that. But then there is the internet...🙂🙂 Hope this helps and have a great day!!

Thank you so much!!!@@geesjebaron

Hi, I'm sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, I just found this comment yesterday! You can use a this cloth between the paper and the iron to protect the iron from potential dye, but I have not found it necessary, so either way would work. Hop this answers your question. Have a great day!

Thank you for your kind words. As for buying a printer, if I had the funds, I would invest in a laser printer, but oh well, I don't. I find that letting the print rest for a few hours and then ironing on the highest setting reduces the bleeding enough for me to adhere it to a background. I personally don't like the smell of hairspray and never tried it. But if that works also, and you are okay with that, then that certainly is another solution. By using hairspray one covers the print with a thin "protective" layer, vs ironing one basically "sets" the ink. I do think when applying the ironed image to another paper by using a lot of glue and brushing more than necessary, the ink might smear a bit. but once a coat of glue as been applied and dried, it is run proof. I hope you find this useful, have a great day!!

So the paperclip still moves even when you used the gorilla glue? The reason I used the sewing machine was so that the paperclip would stay in place, I just "tacked" it at the bottom to prevent it from coming up during use. I hope this helps a bit? Have a great day!!

Thank you for stopping by, have a great day!!

Thank you for your nice comment and stopping to watch this video. I really like this type of binding and have used it more than once.🙂

@@geesjebaron this is exactly what I have been looking for to finish a book I am working on. So I thank you again. 😊🌹

Hi Carla, thank you for your interest. I like to play with the small ones like a stamp with a stencil between the paper and the small gel plate. I don't sell them, I just had fun making and using them. 🙂

I don't soak the papers for 10 minutes, they get very fragile and might tear. Depending on the strength of the dyebath, as in how much paint vs water, I usually get the paper wet and remove it after maximin of 30 seconds and then set to dry. Thanks for stopping by, have a great weekend!

Thank you Lisa!!

Thank you for stopping by! I looked at the video again and I would change the way I glue the three or four strips together that form the hinge for the cards. My suggestion would be to glue the three pages that are going to be the hinge together, about an inch close to the spine, and then cut them shorter. Have a great rest of your day!!

Thank you for your nice comment. Merry Christmas to you and your family! 🤗

Thank you!! Merry Christmas 🤗

@@geesjebaron haha merry Christmas to u too 💗

Thank You!! Merry Christmas 🤗

Thank you!! Merry Christmas 🤗

Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment, I hope with this method you don't have ink "blobs" anymore. Do watch for the corners, that they are adhered nicely, otherwise the tissue will curl up while being dragged into the printer, I had that happen once. Happy creating!!

@@geesjebaron Thank you for the advice. I will definately be sure to pay special attention to the corners. Happy Holidays! 🎅🏻🎄

@@mb4freedom Merry Christmas to you too!!

Thank you for your comment, the front cover is indeed not that difficult to make, just try it out on a piece of paper to see if you like the colours. Have great week, and yes, happy creating!!

I’m okay with just collecting them but no one seems to know of any practical use for these beauties.

@@lizzandrews9968 I did make sets of a pendant for a necklace and earrings to match, the earrings have shorter cores, so they are not as long. But I also have some just sitting pretty in a nice jar. 🙂

Alot use them for their journals, or to hang on bags, or key ring charm. You put a clip on one end and a charm or a tassle on the bottom.

@@dianneoberski2212 Yes, I've also seen them used that way, for the right journal and the right percipient, it would be a nice additive. I myself have not used them in that way, but now that you mention it, I might just add a boho bead to the next journal!

@@dianneoberski2212 hey, thanks

Hi Elana, thank you for your comment! You can find more videos if you click on my name, which will bring you to my channel, if you then click on videos, you will find the content I made. Happy watching!!

Thank you 🙂Why complicate things when it can be simple...😀

Hi, thanks for stopping by and leave a comment. Have a great day!!

Hello, I don't have a video on how to create the cover, if you like, I can make one. But it is quite simple: I braided strips of cardstock to create the background of squares, I glued that to a piece of chipboard (the stuff that is on the back of drawing paper and such) then I added the leaf design using a thick paste through a stencil and painted everything black. Then I added highlights with metallic paints in a few colours like copper, teal and gold. If I didn't like the outcome, I could just paint it black and try again. I'm sure I tested it out on a piece of scrap paper first 🙂 I hope this helps, have a great day!!

@@geesjebaron Thank you so much. The cover is really gorgeous!!

Thanks!! 🤗

Thanks so much, I do try to make the videos not too long!

It is indeed fun to make the beads and bracelet, I've made several, some longer, some shorter. Thanks for stopping by!!

Thank you! I love making them. Have a great day!

Thank you! I enjoyed making it and have made more this way since. Have a great day!!

Hi, I'm sorry that the result didn't show up on camera as I hoped, but it is there, with the lighting it is hard to see. I encourage you to try it out anyway. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks so much, I appreciate it!!

Hi Pauline, thanks so much for stopping by and subscribing, that is much appreciated. I'll be doing the same, one of these days I'll be making these with my granddaughters as well. I'm sure your granddaughter is going to love it!! Take care and have a great week. 😊😊

Thank you! I appreciate your comment, have a great day!!
