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 💕

❤😂😊

[@jeangreen1810]

Thank you Heather. 🤩

[@sigitascoffeestains-2700]

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

[@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. 🧡

[@ReginaCreates2]

Thanks for the Great ideas Heather 😍 👍

[@myrluciepopi9331]

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

[@user-bt7ns2or9z]

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

[@lesleybailey6924]

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

[@lildavis7579]

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

[@debzehr3244]

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

[@lenawarelius4195]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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💕🌴

[@janwages8435]

You always have the best videos. Thank you so much for sharing. Friend from North Georgia Mountains

[@Hope9566]

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

[@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…😍!!!

[@vickiwhitsitt5918]

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

[@underthenightmoon1570]

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

[@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.

[@julielakey594]

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

[@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

[@AzaleaLuna]

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.

[@debif3230]

I know I’m late to the party…but oh my! Love ❤️

[@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

[@janej6253]

Beautiful project Heather! ❤

[@conniehendricks5899]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@rosannewilliams9005]

Love this idea!!! Beautiful and easy!!! ❤❤❤

[@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!

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!
