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. 🤩

[@robertawoods-wr7em]

Love what ya do ..... always beautiful

[@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. 🧡

[@myrluciepopi9331]

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

[@rosannewilliams9005]

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

[@lesleybailey6924]

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

[@debzehr3244]

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

[@conniehendricks5899]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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…😍!!!

[@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💕🌴

[@mariejoiner6495]

Thanks for this great idea. Love them

[@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 😅😅

[@Connie-lb2ne]

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

[@janej6253]

Beautiful project Heather! ❤

[@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.

[@jmh1943]

SO cute! 🤍

[@TheOldladyB]

Awesome idea. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@lildavis7579]

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

[@morningglory147]

Love these can’t wait to try them

[@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.

[@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.

[@Hope9566]

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

[@lindaappel2172]

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

[@underthenightmoon1570]

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

[@julielakey594]

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

[@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

[@ReginaCreates2]

Thanks for the Great ideas Heather 😍 👍

[@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!

[@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!!

[@mbpbm]

They make beautiful wedding invitations too; very shabby chic.

[@sandyvaughn59]

Love this. Thank you.

[@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.

[@georgiewalker1069]

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

[@annaceciliot3323]

Just an idea if you haven’t thought about yet. On the large bags you could glue the front sheet down lower to get that effect of the other bags

[@marjeanweber4189]

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

[@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!

[@paulettepalmer4860]

[@ChristinasPaperCreations]

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

[@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! 💝

[@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❤

[@EliaBachman-sm2gs]

Love it!

[@thebrowndragonfly]

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

[@cheryldouglas234]

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

[@lillyrosebluecaroljohnson1185]

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

[@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!

[@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...

[@shellylaw4]

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

[@maiotm]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@annaceciliot3323]

Love the idea, going to def try

[@katunderhill2260]

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

[@sharongruener6078]

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

[@barbaragrace1992]

You can use the more expensive paper to print for transfers. Obviously you need to be really careful but you could turn the print over onto a piece of wood. The ink should come off in a lovely rustic way. Then seal. Just an idea.

[@Shane-us4ks]

🧚🏻‍♀️Loved this video Heather! How amazing that we can make our own decorative faux glassine bags! The possibilities are endless! You have the best wallpaper prints, they’re so special! Thank you!😘

[@kimosabescraps1]

You are always inspiring us so! I am going to make some bags using copy paper with your holiday kits… then will spend time playing with tracing paper.. head is swimming with ideas! ❤

[@donnamorgancreations8781]

Thank you, Heather for sharing this awesome video. I immediately followed your lead and started printing away. Your digitals lend themselves to the most beautiful little bags!❤❤❤❤❤

Hi Heather. I love the bags!!! Such a cute idea. Just wondering if you have a video on the little journals you put in the bags. Thanks!

[@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 )💚❤⛄☃
