There are certain days I just want to live in Natasa's world. Today is one of them. So I am binge watching with my mug of tea. Bless you!

You make everything so clear, simple, logical! You don't fill the time with unnecessary chit-chat, yet have a comfortable friendly vibe. 🌟One of the best KZbinrs in the art/craft category! 🌟

I really liked the look of that paper bag you said was a fail. It gave the project interest and character. I loved it. Great projects.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thanks so much!

[@lynnwharton8993]

I think your "failed" bag is very interesting. I like it. Sometimes other people will love what you consider "fails".

[@lynnwallace5129]

I have been collecting napkins for years. Now they have purpose. Thank you for sharing your talents.

[@sandradolan4171]

I can’t wait to decoupage everything! Thank you for your wonderful tutorial. You inspire me to want to do everything you show us. 🥰

[@thecalicoheart7946]

Hi Natasa, you must be psychic - I was wondering what else I could with my napkins that I keep buying!! Thank you for sharing your ideas! 😊🙏💐💕 I am old to crafting but new to playing with napkins! 😁 My idea - journal cover - I made a double layer (glued) of card with cereal box cardboard. Added more strips of card for detail. Decoupaged it with pieces of brown Kraft napkin. Painted it. Aged it with more paint. Varnished it. Added tea-dyed braid made from household string. Gold highlights with gilding paste. Now it looks like an old leather book, with the ‘wrinkled napkin effect’! 😃

[@angelathoma-dogwoodpaperarts]

These ideas are so fun! I have been binge watching your channel this weekend and just love all your ideas. You have a beautiful way of bringing creative ideas to us and sharing so many at a time. It really inspires me to create and look further at ideas. Thank you so much

[@minajones1635]

Natasha - I love watching your creative process! Your tutorials are excellent, as you explain things so well. Your work is beautiful! Blessings!!🌸🦋

[@joanhawkins8552]

Love this video. The "fail" really isn't a fail, you can fussy cut around the image and glue or stitch to another project.

[@rgporter1957]

I don't think it was a fail either because it can be used elsewhere after fussy cutting. I would try putting a piece of parchment paper inside the bag before decoupaging. I think that might help eliminate those wrinkles. I'm going to try that and see.

Omg I have a ton of napkins beautiful ones so I’ll be making those, I’m so exited that I found your lovely tutorials ! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@mhdivito]

I recently made my mother a desk organiser by gluing 3 small cardboard boxes together, covered that with torn book page scraps of different hues and fonts and covered the whole thing with a decoupaged napkin, it came out really well. Having the different book pages underneath added some character to it. It’s amazing the things that you can decoupage with napkins. I really love the idea of the writing boards.💚 Thanks for sharing this video and all your great ideas 💚 Oh and the brown paper lunch bags work well for decoupaging, they’re little bit thicker and just as easy to decorate. 💚

[@janevincent7103]

Wow, Natasha, you sure have opened up some doors for me. I've not thought of most of those things you've made. Just beautiful. I love following you with your inexhaustive, wonderful imagination. My favorite, though I love all of them, has got to be the writing Board. So very clever to insert in a journal. I know I've been frustrated many times by obstructions of any kind in my notebooks and journals. Another well said, clear, and beautiful project package from Natasha. Thank you soooo much. XOXOJANE

[@MaAllen417]

Wow Natasha! I love all your ideas. Thank you for your time. I have to say I think you explain things very well for those in the back row. Some people pick up on things quicker then others, Awesome anyway. I enjoy every seeing notification from Treasure Books!!!

[@DimmuDeer]

Oh my god, look what you have done Natasha! I just went to my attic and dusted off a 40yo sewing machine because all of these were just too adorable! Time to learn sewing, hehe!

[@lindasands1433]

All your projects are so colourful and beautiful. I can't help but be inspired ❤ I've never done decoupage, so I'll be looking out for napkins now 👍

[@joylynnburkhardt3202]

I love your creative ideas! I live in South East Texas and it is very humid! I have found using watered down glue and even ModPoge will leave the surface sticky on humid days .. it will dry totally but still have a sticky feel. I found a product called Collage Podge .. it will dry with no sticky feel even on humid days! Thank you for sharing all the wonderful ideas!

Just when I begin to think I know it all (from years of journaling), you come along with something I've never thought of. Your ideas are not the run-of-the-mill variations that everyone is doing. Thank you so much for bringing the innovation back to junk journaling.

[@barbaracabrera207]

These look beautiful. Love idea of white gesso underneath. Good idea. You always give us great tips. Like cut napkin before you remove backing. Love the book covers. They look great. And I love writing board. And glue stick 1st is good idea. Going to do that. You've taught me to save my cereal boxes. I think I overdid that cuz my coat closet is FULL of cereal boxes. Haha!! I like sewing edges. Looks great. Thx for video. Austin,TX USA

[@normaferrenburg3602]

I love this idea. I have some book covers that I will try this on. Never thought of napkins to put on there. Thanks

[@EstherLTurner]

Thanks for the tip on how to decoupage on dark surfaces. I love including black tags in my journals so that I can write on them with my metallic gel pens. Usually, I just collage the front, but now I'm going to try the gesso and napkin technique on some of them.

[@LunaHeather87]

Love this! I am new to this hobby and this video is very helpful. I love how the words from the page show through the napkin designs, this gives a great look ❤

Great and gorgeous as always, thank you so, so much! ☺ The leftovers of the napkins can be stamped and then decoupaged too. There are soo many possibilities...

[@barbaracabrera207]

Great idea for white napkin backs. I'm going to do that!!! Thanks!

@@barbaracabrera207 it's better to use water resistant colours, else they're maybe "bleeding" when you decoupage it (happened to me :'D)

I love the flower napkin on the black book! White would make it pop, but the subtleness is gorgeous. I have decoupaged napkins a lot, but never thought of doing it on a repurposed book. Duh! Thanks so much Natasa!

[@judiemjacobson4613]

As always I just love what you do. I've only been junk journaling for about a year and you were one of the first people that I started to follow and have influence me so much and what I do. I'm finally at a place where my journals are selling here and there just a few and it really is helpful for my very limited income. And that's why I watch you is because you use things that are available and are not spending a whole bunch of money on things. And yet you make the most beautiful things. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your talent and how you share it with all of us. I send blessings to you and your family and all those that you love. May you stay healthy and well in these trying times. And when I spend time with you I don't even think about the other things in the world that are not so good

[@victorialadjadj8592]

Lovely ideas. I like decoupage with napkins, I've done some on both plastic and glass, both work fine using PVA glue. I decoupage the outside of the glass you get free with some mustard and chocolate spreads, they are just the right size for tea lights and with the light shining through look gorgeous. But remember, you can not submerse them in water once done, so wipe out the inside with a damp cloth if needed. Thankyou Natasa for more very useful, well explained ideas, you always come up trumps and I love listening to you. The envelopes have sent me off on more ideas to try 😀👏🏼👍😘👏🏼👍 luv n hugs from Victoria in England 🇬🇧

[@kerryasquith1867]

I really like the images on the book pages. I'll have to give that a try. My favourite decoupage to do is on small envelopes then I back them with tea dyed paper so they are little open out envelopes/journalling spots. There are always a few of those in my journals :)

I watched your video then went to my stash and got a decorative napkin with a horizontal pattern, used a glue stick to get the center of the napkin centered onto the fold of a manilla file folder, then used liquid glue to adhere the rest of the napkin to the file folder.
