DIY - Make your own Glassine Bags with printables! - craft with me 💕

[@rubyandpearlxo]

I forgot to add in my video that if you have never printed on tracing paper before.. it usually comes larger than a standard sheet of paper so you will need to cut it to standard paper size before going through your printer 💕

[@karenshields395]

❤😂😊

[@jeangreen1810]

Thank you Heather. 🤩

[@robertawoods-wr7em]

Love what ya do ..... always beautiful

[@HK-hr2xu]

This is a very cute idea! Love these! If you cut your tracing paper down to the size of your copy paper, you can tape the tracing paper onto the copy paper with washi tape and feed it through that way. It works like a charm!

[@rubyandpearlxo]

Ok.. that is great to know! Thank you ❤️❤️

[@snotty56]

My tracing paper was too big. Thanks! I am going to try this!!

[@MeredithHenning]

Great idea!!!

[@TexJudy]

This is how I've been doing it also.

[@michellearnold3189]

Very nice Heather. I sometimes use the side with the middle seam as the front if it's the prettiest side. 🧡

[@myrluciepopi9331]

C'est vraiment super et bien expliqué. Merci et bonjour de France

[@sigitascoffeestains-2700]

....for ink not to smear ,choose photo paper printing option....🏵🏵

[@rkug777]

Actually photo paper option puts a lot of ink for vibrancy… draft mode puts less and I’ve been using that for many years to print on vellum, tracing paper after taping them to a white sheet of paper for strength

[@ReginaCreates2]

Thanks for the Great ideas Heather 😍 👍

[@lildavis7579]

Great for envelopes , so am going to make those ,,thankyou xo

[@lesleybailey6924]

Absolutely gorgeous!!!!!....& why do we all adore the crinkle!?!?❤

[@marlenejones6266]

I just looked up tracing paper for kids. Hobby Lobby has it for 1.99. Woohoo. 2 bucks for paper. I'm there.

[@pristinabread]

You could also use a circle punch to punch a half moon thumb area a the top of the bag like some professional bags have.

[@maiotm]

Hands up! And love these , hands down too!! I’ve made 10… so far!!! 😂

[@pallasvititoe6404]

Your tracing paper video came at just the right time. I had gathered pretty papers & ephemera for my sister, and the full page bag was the perfect size, and turned out so pretty. I used one of your full page printables (green plant shop ad), tied it in raffia, slipped in a small journal collage behind the raffia, and added a vintage clip on earring with rectangular rhinestones for a bit of bling. She will love it, and yes, the crinkle is great. (I'm just using a standard Epson inkjet printer, and it can be finicky in pulling up just one sheet of thin paper - So I loaded just one sheet at a time to avoid jamming problems.) Thanks for all your great videos! Pallas

[@mariacrayne4276]

Omg! After watching I ran to Michael’s and got that tracing paper, meanwhile I was praying my printer would take it! I had to cut down that tracing paper to letter paper size, and IT WORKED,!!! Thanks so much!! I love this❤

[@lillyrosebluecaroljohnson1185]

my best ideas happen in the shower! LOVE this!!!!

[@Creativespiration]

These are so super sweet! I’m in love with your papers! Thanks! Janice

[@georgiewalker1069]

These are gorgeous. Love them. Thank you. Hugs from South Africa 💫

[@wfm5121954]

Such a beautiful idea! Who knows? Sometimes I get my best ideas while washing the dishes. This a very useful item especially during the holidays. Thank you! Happy Holidays!

[@rebeccabee6615]

I discovered your channel less than a week ago and I am in so much awe of the beautiful things that you make and share! I’ve watched the most recent videos but now am bouncing around watching older videos. These bags are gorgeous! You are so talented and so kind to share the techniques of your craft. And…as luck would have it, I went out this evening in search of alternate papers and bought the exact tracing paper pad from Michael’s! 🎉 And your Etsy shop…😍!!!

[@jbond7513]

Thanks, Heather - I made 2 glassine bags, and they are so cute! I'm always wanting an Epson Eco tank to save on ink, but my Canon Pixma will print on just about anything! Just a tip: it's easier to pinking sheer-cut the top at same time as the bottom, then glue bag closed.

[@Hope9566]

I sometimes use parchment paper, it works pretty good as well. TFS…..😊

[@annettedepete4314]

What a great Idea this is. My epson eco tank doesn’t like tracing paper but I glue it to paper and it works. I am going to print your love and light kit on it. Thanks Heather for the idea💕🌴

[@erika3293]

Oh my gosh Heather. ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES!!! Thanks of sharing the type of paper you used. I too used a more expensive brand for a project but had trouble with my ink smearing. I thought maybe I was being impatient so I printed my design and let it sit overnight but it still smeared. UGH!!! I'll be heading to Michaels to get a pad of the kids paper. Thanks!!! Blessings to you this holiday season.

[@rkug777]

Draft mode puts less ink on thin papers

[@debzehr3244]

Don’t you just love that sound? 😊💖 These bags are PERFECT. 🥰

[@AzaleaLala]

I love this idea. I love that translucent look. The pinking shears are a nice touch. Makes them look more professional. I use glassine bags as pages in my journals for little pockets. Thanks for sharing.

[@candikcan1720]

I've probably already left a comment, but this video/idea is worth many!!! I watched one of your designers on a Ruby Tuesday video yesterday, and knew I had to make some of these! Just went through all my Ruby&Pearl digitals and selected the ones to use on the bags. Also had some tracing paper (hallelujah!) so the bags are just waiting to be put together tomorrow. You have such great ideas which are supported by your gorgeous digis. LOVE! And thanks for sharing your ideas!

[@mbpbm]

They make beautiful wedding invitations too; very shabby chic.

[@shondra6]

My printer will print on vellum and tracing paper if I tack a sheet of normal photocopy paper to the back with a little washi tape. If that makes sense. 🤗🤗 and if that helps your mum or anyone else. TFS these cute bags.

[@JournalBreezeYT]

Love the crinkly sound and transparency of glassine bags, so these will be a fun and pretty alternative. The print on the paper really determines the bags shape and size, how fun is that!!

[@underthenightmoon1570]

These are beautiful! Need to make some with your lovely papers 🌸💓🌹ty!

[@ozjan7927]

They’re just fabulous Heather! ❤️😊🇦🇺xxx

[@janej6253]

Beautiful project Heather! ❤

[@cindygallagher3586]

Thank you Heather for this wonderful instruction so we can make glassine bags and decorate them to our own liking! Your attention to detail and your helpful tips make the process so enjoyable. I appreciate you very much and watch your videos over and over.

[@eunicejackson457]

Found you tutorial this week and made a couple of bags, love that I was able to print on tracing paper, also stamped as well. And yea no rules says the back as to be dead centre to glue to glue the sides.

[@vickiwhitsitt5918]

Very pretty - and I also sometimes get inspirations while in the shower 😅😅

[@michelebrown6374]

I love these bags so much! Your creativity amazes me!! ❤️

[@thebrowndragonfly]

I looove the big one! I love printing on different papers.

[@BrendaSmyth-i9o]

I always make my own n just stamp on them n they turn out great as did urs,i luv them n so much nicer to make ur own,i makebmine usingbgreade proof paper cos it goes a long way,lived ur video thank u❤❤❤❤

[@ChristinasPaperCreations]

I love making faux glassine bags. These are stunning with your papers.

[@judysamolis1431]

Love these bags and your ideas. Thank you for sharing.

[@pjsutton9091]

Wow! I wish my printer would feed tracing paper. These are super divine! Especially liked the blue wallpaper one! I immediately loved it! Gorgeous! I'll stop now. Hugs.

[@marjeanweber4189]

I loved these. I'm addicted to this great idea for crinkly bags🥰

[@GladysWard-j2d]

Very nice! TFS. Enjoy your week. 🏖️🏖️🏖️

[@TeacupAndRoses]

Hi Heather!

[@lenawarelius4195]

So pritty 😍 love the one with the yello roses😍🙌🌻🌺🌼🌹🏵

[@larkm.dalinrobart3316]

Love, Love, Love! ♥♥♥

[@godsgirlygirl1]

These are so cute. EVERY-TIME I watch one of your videos I’m instantly inspired. I watch your videos over and over, I was thinking the other day, “I wonder if I would even still be crafting the way I do if it were not for you”. I truly don’t think I would. Each time I make something inspired by you I get so many compliments like I am the talented one, but I owe it all to you AND I recently watched one of your videos and you mentioned 507 Willow House I had never heard of her channel but now I have someone else fun to watch, she is amazing too (just like you), thank you for sharing your tips.

[@MeredithHenning]

I feel exactly the same way 😊🤗🥰❤️

[@katherinec3463]

Me too! so much awesome inspiration, and SUCH beautiful digitals.

[@beverlystout7841]

I totally agree!

[@rubyandpearlxo]

Thank you so much for your kind comment.. It truly means so much to me that anything I create inspires you and brings you joy! 💗💗💗💗💗

[@jeangreen1810]

I also agree with the others being more or less housebound and disabled you have inspired me to take a new direction in my art and craft and I love discovering more Amazing artists through your channel. Thank you so much.

[@paulettepalmer4860]

The cutest gift bags! Thank you so much for sharing this idea!😊

[@julielakey594]

Oh wow those are wonderful. I love them thanks for sharing

[@sassyh154]

I have trouble printing on tracing paper with my printer... so I put the tracing paper on top of a piece of copy paper and stick in place with a small piece of sticky tape in the centre top.. then print... works a treat... Love these Heather.. Cheers for sharing...

[@ShabbyCottageStudio]

Heather these are fabulous! And your gorgeous digitals marry beautifully! I love printing on tissue paper so I know these will be added to my repitoire. TFS😘❤

[@RosemaryMarisArt]

If you cut the front with your pinking shears when the paper is open as in not glued down it may be easier. Lovely idea

[@gloriaskipper1691]

Love these! So pretty! Yes I always use the backs of mine🤣🤩

[@cheryllynskey9579]

I just found some of the kids tracing paper in my stash! You know I will be printing on it to make these really great bags! So fun - Thanks Heather! 💝

[@conniehendricks5899]

I love these! My next project!❣️thanks for sharing!

[@WoodlandInspired]

Hi Heather🤗 Beautiful bags and I will be making these for goodie bags in my Etsy order. Thanks for sharing, hope you have a beautiful day! 💕

[@shellylaw4]

Great idea! I love this so much! Thank you for sharing!

[@sharongruener6078]

Love, love these too, Heather. Thank you, how fun. Christmas Blessings.

[@debbiebaddeley6159]

Gosh, I just love these! Can't wait to give them a go

[@kathybaker3341]

So lovely - these bags add such an elegant touch for tucking journals inside. Love them!

[@jmh1943]

SO cute! 🤍

[@tammyb78]

Love this idea. I can see making some of the barn swallows and tucking them in a bag as a gift! You are so talented!

[@noradunlap7539]

Super great idea! TFS! Blessings!♥️

[@Connie-lb2ne]

❤ you do such pretty things I've got to try this and your hearts. Tyvm for sharing ❤

[@DonnaVintageSnippets]

Oh how pretty!! Love this idea!

[@crinkledpath]

Yes! We definitely love the Crinkle! 😁 Love these. Inspiration always arrives where I don’t usually have a note pad… in the shower and falling asleep!

[@rneustel388]

Oh. My. Goodness. These are just the cutest things to make, and I literally think you’ve started an obsession!! I don’t know how you decided which of your gorgeous printables to print first.

[@thepeacockparlor1512]

Oh! I cant wait to try making these💗thank you for sharing.

[@cheryldouglas234]

Love this project!❤️❤️❤️❤️😊. Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️❤️😊

[@katunderhill2260]

I LOVED this tutorial so much, Heather. THANK YOU for sharing!! 🤩

[@RunninUpThatHillh]

OH yay, something for me to do tonight. You're the best! :D I noticed the super cheap (regular printer) paper at dollar general is the best for printing off old letters and things like that from your shop. Merry Christmas!

[@fayesjournalemporium8993]

Love this project! A hint about printing on tracing paper or vellum. I have an Epson eco tank and it refuses to take thin paper. I have to trick it by placing a piece of printer paper underneath the tracing paper and then taping them together at the very top edge and running it through. It will then print on the tracing paper. You do lose a very small portion of the digital at the top or side but it does work.

[@ginette6896]

Love these little bags. Perfect for gift giving. I had to laugh when you said you had gotten your next idea in the shower. I can relate ...its like my thinking tank. Lol. Take care Heather and thank you for this sweet project. Hugs and smiles from California 🥰

[@conniechandler694]

Omg love these. Thanks for sharing them.

[@donnacarraway9182]

You are so amazing because you really make thing that are kind of simple but they always turn out so so cute! You have a real talent for that! Thank you!💕

[@my2pets1]

Thank you for this wonderful idea! Your bags look lovely! I tried my cheap tracing paper in my printer , it did not work. Then I thought I would try parchment paper and that work great!

[@MsWolvirene]

Thank you for the reminder and inspiration Heather....some times I forget things I learned when I first started Junk Journaling when I didn't have a a lot of supplies. What I use is Parchment paper and it is just as thick and went through my cheapy HP printer. I'm excited...thank you. (Irene )💚❤⛄☃

[@lindaappel2172]

Oh my gosh I have made a few today. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@melindamarie6139]

Could you cut the top sides with your pinking sheers before glueing it?? Would save the stress later....I haven't tried this yet but it seems like it would work 🤷🏼‍♀️ Well we shall see because i will definitely be doing these, they r so cute n these lil guys can be pricey!!! Thank u so much for the vid n wonderful ideas!!! ✌🏼❤️

[@karlakoykka-walker]

Love this idea! Thanks for sharing it! 💕
