[@victoriaguckian8578]

To make it totally random I give my grandchildren glue stick and scraps. They call it nilly willy. And they love to see me use it in projects.

[@lindabenny4454]

I have a family of bear tins spread around my house that I have had since I was about 18 & I'm 65 now! Fantastic video as always Barbara. Always such a joy to listen to you!

[@margaretcomella3318]

I love hearing you speak German, as long as you tell us what you're saying. 😄

[@49dragonflies]

Haha 😂❤️

[@kaycfox3013]

the possibilities are endless!!! TY for sharing.

[@CraftingMom64]

This is a great project! I like that you chose the decorative stitch. Hold your threads before you step on the gas. Game changer, no more bird's nests. I've been wanting to make one of these and yours came out beautiful!

[@dorothygallegos5747]

I loved it! Does anyone ever not love your work? I’m sure not!!

[@julief4132]

Love it! That lovely fabric snippet on that Jean journal made my heart so happy.

[@debzehr3244]

Snippet roll on jeans material. Yes! 💖💖💖

[@md-1]

Very clever! I see this as being attached as a dangle to a masculine journal! Love it!

[@karenlarsen3196]

What a cute idea and a fun creative storage solution. TIP: " Prevent the mess of tangles at the beginning of your stitching". Before you start sewing grab both the top thread and the bobbin thread together and pull straight out the back side of your machine about 2". Hold onto the threads and take a couple of stitches and you won't get that tangled mess at the start of your sewing. Hugs from MN and a machine sewer for over 65 years. LOL.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks! I actually always do that 🧐❤️

[@elizecoetsee6285]

Never feel guilty because you work in uniform style. You do what you feel is right, because that is who you are. And your art and work must presents you and not a other person. Even though you make something out of your comfort zone. Tim Holtz said, you must do you. That makes you unique. When you do somebody else you are not yourself anymore but that person. Never make excuses for being you. I like uniform style that is me. If I do crunchy I will do it uniform style. I admire other people’s style because they do themselves. Your work is amazing, just stay who you are. Do I preach? 😂❤

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks, I get it, but it’s fun to try new things ☺️❤️

[@elizecoetsee6285]

❤agree.

[@shabbykat273]

The struggle (to be spontaneous) is real! I’m old and still cannot do random very well. 😊

[@denisegardner2373]

Super cute Barbara! This would make an awesome happy mail share. TFS ❤

[@gayledeacon2203]

I envision a decorated stick as a talking piece for a group conversation. I may have to design one for my future classroom.

[@zitafalk566]

What a fine idea. I loved to see the process of the different rolls and hear you giggle 😊

[@nanviolet4933]

All are fastantics, really nice...Thank you, and more thank you.

[@cindycreateforlife]

This was just the cutest project, I love sticks and the feathers are perfect! So much fun to have in your view inspiring you to make fun projects! 💕🇨🇦

[@donnamorina7846]

This was a wonderful idea! I have a huge stick collection from my walks and now I know what to do with them! I have never made a fabric roll because I fear my sewing machine 🤣 but now I must try. I do love hand sewing and I think that would be a lovely addition as well. I may just paint some sticks because the 5 year old that lives in my brain wants to! Thank you for the inspiration!

[@49dragonflies]

Have fun and you can do the sewing with the macht as well! 😃❤️

[@mariaconti9704]

Super wonderful! 🎉🤩! ❤️🥰😍🤗😘

[@marnyr9610]

Those are so cute, what a good way to use bits of nature that are on the ground. I feel like my cat would have thought those feathers were amazing if she were still with us, I will make one in her honour because I know she can't mess with it now, even though we miss her lots.

[@49dragonflies]

Aaaaw what a precious idea! ❤️

[@veronim77]

Love the beautiful snippet roll. Love the colors.Thanks for sharing.

[@elizabethroyko7124]

Beautiful fabric snippet roll!

[@heathersullivan8494]

Beautiful concept. It’s just that the stick is so pretty. It’s hard to cover up. 😊

[@itssssandraa]

So creative ❤🎉😊

[@elzanneshepperson6729]

G'day Barbara. I really liked this video and I've never made anything like this with branches or snippet rolls. I am inspired now. And .... I always admire your beautiful hands.

[@sandiharkin9922]

I love this video! I have a three year old grandson that loves to paint and colour. Your video has inspired me to collect sticks and rocks with him and then the two of us can paint them together! I will make some snippet roll holders for myself as well! Thank you for being so brave and sharing a piece of yourself with us!

[@49dragonflies]

That is awesome! Have fun! 😃

[@mariaescotto7666]

I just cut down a small tree in my yard and was going to get it ready for branch collection in my area. Now I have to go and get some branches! Can't wait to start painting!🙂

[@jneigler]

The snippet roll holders are really cute. The marks are rustic and pretty. I’ve never done a fabric snippet roll as I have not mastered the paper ones. 😊 yours is really beautiful.

[@teresazuehls783]

Oh my gosh your snippet roll looks so beautiful on denim! Those painted branches turned out so pretty. TFS❤

[@jennifercambridge6837]

Thank you for this fun idea Barbara ❤

[@allisonjames2923]

As a fellow perfectionist, it’s kind of amusing watching you put the glue on at an angle then putting your scraps on vertically or horizontally. Habits are so hard to break. Very cool project.

[@antoniettavillamagna9352]

Tin foil rolls and plastic wrap rolls are very good for this. They are thinner then toilet paper rolls. They work great. You can also paint them if you like. Add brads and dangles, what ever floats your boat. Thank you for the inspiration.❤️

[@sandofthesun]

I think it would be great to have a candy jar full of beautiful sticks that you have already decorated. I think they would be fun to look at 💕

[@49dragonflies]

I totally agree! 😃

[@kathyjackson378]

Beautiful…..I love them…. I live in the country so I have tons of sticks around here and I have all colors of paint I have to try and make some…. Awesome idea…😊❤

[@giulianazakani2086]

So eine tolle Idee. Die Stoffrolle ist wunderschön 🤩

[@jolajolcia2342]

What a great idea ❤so much fun to create this little beautiful snippet rolls. Apart from being very handy for crafting these are very beautiful decorating pieces. Love it❤

[@kaycfox3013]

I love the back. I am super happy with this too!!

[@karenivicevich1981]

What a fun project. Really loved how they turned out 💙

[@CherrySignature3]

Love it

[@marilyn272]

Love this idea. Thank you for sharing your great ideas 🤗

[@jodyniemojuski4021]

That was so cool listening to you speak in German. Don't know what you said, however very cool😮😊❤ it is called Fusible Web. It works well.

[@myhappyspace4533]

Such a fun project 😊❤

[@ulrikefair2860]

another beautiful project and i really love to hear you speak german with your lovely vieanna dialect

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you! 🤭

[@caroltanzi29]

Barbara: that was really a fun project. I have a very hard time being messy. In fact, it would be safe to say, I just don’t like messiness. Maybe someday I’ll break out, but not now. Haha Carol from California

[@ginaanderson5635]

This was so fun to watch and turned out beautifully! I especially loved it wrapped around the journal❤

[@margaretcomella3318]

Wow!! That looked like so much fun!! TFS!!❤

[@darleneblackwell6853]

My local Goodwill in USA, has a 50 cents day once a week. I go and harvest materials, laces and buttons. Usually wonderful hauls!!

[@49dragonflies]

That is awesome! 😃👍🏻❤️

[@MariKayCreations]

You made me laugh out loud at the 'be nice to have a third hand'. I have to agree about the threaders on machines, I find them harder than just doing it the normal way.

[@jlhyndman]

Posca markers would work well for the decorating as well! Great idea Barbara!

[@evocationart8370]

Your videos are very sweet and lovely to watch 😊❤

[@risamateo8003]

Love the fabric snippet 💙 I have never made one. I have a bunch of very neutral fabrics from the 1800s. Thank you for your inspiration ❤

[@RedArrowTinker]

I love it! I like your color combinations, and the widths you chose. This is definitely something I'll have to make soon. BTW, our "ocean" is Lake Michigan 🙂

[@kerry-lynnmartin8799]

Love your snippet roll, the found stick and how you decorated it and the idea for using on a denim journal. Tfs

[@Robin-qc4gn]

I love this whole project, beginning to end! You definitely need to make that little jeans journal with the snippet roll embellishment, it sound so yummy!! Is it crazy that I thought, "Wow! Barbara is so good at German!" 😆😂🤣 I'm learning German and I was all in awe. Till I realized it was your mother tongue!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@49dragonflies]

Haha Thank you! 😃❤️

[@lornabee309]

❤ Love these!

[@danacolosimo5874]

Absolutely beautiful 😍❤️ love these ideas, TFS 😊😘🇨🇦

[@LoJo99]

It’ll be hard to cover up the stick……….it’s so cute

[@rachelpatten8889]

They would make cute dangles for a spine decoration.

[@charleneottinger4735]

Never done a snippet roll and now I'm excited about doing one or two maybe twenty!! Your excitement when you notice how Lovely it looks and how it makes a statement for a journal is exciting! Thanks for sharing!

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks! Have fun! 😃❤️

[@acknims]

Looks so adorable!

[@ItadakimashuU]

That's very cute!!!

[@cynthiamostacato7894]

I’d love to see you decorate it and use it on a cover. It is so beautiful, makes ME happy looking at it. Thank you Barbara…..cyndi m.

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you, I will 😃❤️

[@rachelpatten8889]

Love this idea, but it makes me want to make wind “chimes” with several of them dangling. That way I could see the stick part. So cute.

[@49dragonflies]

That would be adorable! 😃❤️

[@nanmau6234]

Great inspiration Barbara! 💕…I have done a similar project painting sticks of bamboo.

[@tootsfour956]

What a cute idea Barbara! And you always make me smile and your videos calm me BLESSINGS

[@annzbikowski4198]

Wonderful

[@plasmalifthouseofbeautyhal6723]

Do you ever do anything less than fabulous! What wonderful inspiration. Love the sticks and love the snippet rolls. Gorgeous! Hugs 🤗❤️

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@DragunSlayor]

What a fun project! Thank you for sharing. I did have to chuckle when you added the feathers to cover up the paint smudge, but then added them to the opposite end of the stick! I would totally do something like that. Thank you again for sharing- I really like your tutorials because you always explain things so well.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much! ❤️

[@jayneelinor]

You're so cute! Enjoyed this video!

[@BethSchuler]

These will be fun to make for each Holliday too tfs.💙

[@doreethorpe4800]

So much fun! And that fabric snippet was really fabulous on the jean journal. Hope to see a craft along/tutorial when you make a new jean journal to incorporate the snippet! I love the sticks too, definitely on my to do list! Thanks Barbara for a fun video. ♥

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks! Yup, that video is coming up soon! 😃❤️

[@katherinec3463]

Loved this video and YES I want to see what you make with the fabric snippet roll.

[@sherrydennis2419]

Such a fun and cute idea!

[@MyDjturner]

i HAVEN'T MADE FABRIC SNIPPET ROLLS YET, BUT NOW i WILL TRY IT. tHANKS FOR SHARING

[@sherryvanderpool8644]

Great idea

[@lillybullen5374]

Uh oh!! Painted sticks! I live 2 houses from a beach, and have a large collection of driftwood. Now I'm painting some of it. Is this going to be a new obsession? 🙄 Thanks Barbara. 😂🧡💚🤎

[@49dragonflies]

Have fun! 😃❤️

[@lillybullen5374]

@@49dragonflies I did!! But now I don't want to cover up the painted parts... so I'm googling for ideas on other ways to display them. 😊🧡💚🤎

[@kathleenwilliams767]

Once again I was skeptical but this is adorable 😍 I think I will try this! You are so creative ❤

[@ruthhooperjournals]

These are so cute!!! I want to make some, but I think I will make them longer with the top part painted and the bottom part where the snippet roll would go. Or you could paint both ends and put the snippet roll in the middle. So fun.

[@weaver7249]

Barbara this is awesome! I had no idea you could do so much with a snippet roll. They are beautiful and your sticks are beautiful. Areas that manufacture fabric would have wooden spools, at least you can find old ones in North Carolina..Thank you so much for this video. I am making a snippet roll.

[@lynnedove9163]

Love these. For wooden spools in the UK, eBay sells vintage textile bobbins from the old Northern cotton mills. I used ‘wooden industrial bobbin’ for my search. Hope this helps. Lynne.

[@melissagardner4032]

Love it ❤

[@allisonjames2923]

You could be really daring & spray the plain back with Distress Oxide sprays, 🫣 which will let some random colours creep through to the front 😁 Or do a completely neutral one with different textured pieces & use it to mop up excess Oxide spray from other projects. That would create a really fun, random yet useful piece. And would love to see beads, dangles, tiny ribbons & other embellishments on it. And I don’t even do snippet rolls lol 🤷‍♀️

[@49dragonflies]

Sounds like something you need to try! 😃❤️

[@barbaraschmidt6893]

Very cute. Must give it a try. I have made paper snippits but never fabric.

[@martinebuis5431]

What a great video. Really love what you made. I will definitely give it a go.

[@susananderson8428]

Cool idea. I have so many fabric scraps from my sewing days and from hemming pants and jeans for myself and my husband in addition to quilting scraps that I don't have the heart to throw away. And I have recently started junk journal creations so doing snippet rolls for closures, fabric covers or fabric embellishments is something I definitely need to try. The rolls and the jean journals are fabulous. TFS 💝💝💝

[@49dragonflies]

Have fun with your scraps! ❤️

[@susangazawaypapercrafting3749]

I love these! 😊

[@valeriekeddie2980]

What fun! I want to try this! Thank you!

[@cheryltroppman868]

Yes I have snippet rolls. I use very large empty lace spools that are cardboard. I also use old clothes pins that are wooden. The old fashioned kind. I have one large wooden spool which has lace on it now, but when it is empty it will be used for a fabric snippet. I use glue stick and do it just like you are doing it in the video. I add laces to my fabric snippet rolls.

[@buttonsforbrains]

Love this, definitely going to have a go, thank you 😊

[@susisjournaladventure]

Das ist Vlieseline, liebe Barbara! Ich finde Deine Snippet-Rolls super super schön! Danke wieder mal für dieses tolle Video und all die Inspiration, die darin steckt.

[@49dragonflies]

Vielen lieben Dank! ❤️

[@pauletteliddell2923]

How cool. Looks like something some of my ancestors made. I have a lot of trees in my yardand we're cutting the branches back.😊🐼 Thanks for sharing.

[@chelliebarron2094]

So cute, I wish I had a sewing machine! Oh, and fabric scraps!!

[@49dragonflies]

You don’t need to sew, but you need scraps. Try a thrift store or eBay.

[@lillybullen5374]

@chelliebarron2094 I don't wish to 'jump in', and I'm certainly no expert, but when I started Junk Journaling I didn't have a sewing machine or much fabric. So, I used paper scraps on a strip of masking tape (sticky side up) and then a glue stick to finish adhering the pieces. Which now makes me wonder - could you use images of fabric to make a snippet role? I.e. pictures of material from a magazine or quilters book? And draw random stitches with a marker. Just a thought. 😊

[@49dragonflies]

@@lillybullen5374 worth a try…

[@MaureenAstrid]

So absolutely gorgeous sweetie ❤ I don't think I could bring myself to cutting the fabric strip apart to use it ... although that jeans looks delicious with it ... sending a big hug 😊

[@margaretcrawford292]

I watched this yesterday! Loved it!! I proceeded to find some driftwood (I live by lake Michigan in US) and proceeded to decorate 4 of them. Such fun!!!!! Thankyou! Now to make some snippet rolls. Have a great day!!❤❤❤

That is awesome! 😃❤️

So cute. I make fabric snippet rolls. I rolled them on the cardboard tube from paper towels. Very unimaginative. I have tons of driftwood. Off to my craft room. Thanks for the super ideas Barbara. ✂️✂️✂️

[@NatureSpiritJournals]

Sehr interessant und super schnell umzusetzen! Ich hab’s ja auch so mit Naturmaterialien und liebe Snipped Rolls. 🌿 Allerdings bin ich eher so der Naturfarbentyp… also mag ich deine zu vorletzt vorgestellte Rolle am meisten. 😊 Wundervolle Stoff- Snipped Roll 👍. Liebe Grüße Nicole

[@laracraft82]

Great idea thank you for sharing ❤😊i just recently collected some bark and a very large stick lols so prefect video nice work. Very smart sewing machine 😮

[@RobinfromCA]

So much fun! I have so many fabric scraps from quilting at home with my sewing machine. Alas, I shall not see them again until the middle of September. I used to keep all of my ribbons wrapped around those old fashioned clothes pins and in an apothecary jar. It took up so much room I re-did the whole thing. Sometimes I out-cute myself to the point of being impractical. Now I know I can reuse those clothes pins for snippet rolls!

[@49dragonflies]

Haha you can out-cute yourself! 😃❤️

[@lenawarelius4195]

What a fun prodject 😍😅 I dont do snippit rolls. Im not sure why, but maby because I dont have a sawingmachine. Maby I Just make the branches anyway because they are adorebul 😍 Thanks for sharing and giving me a great feeling 🙏 lots of love from a very wet arctic Norrway🙌🏵🌺🌹🌻🌼
