I just came across your videos. These are beautiful. I have been wondering what in the world I can do with my beautiful napkins AND fabric. Thank you! I am also going to try to make the wallet- what a great idea!

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thank you so much Victoria, yes it is a great way to use your napkins, I have so many too! 💗💗

[@karellarsen939]

Beautiful!!! 🍃🤗🍃

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Donna, I was just about to suggest you look at this video to see some ways in which I use the fabric paper, but I see you found it! 💗💗

[@donnanichols6838]

@@KariGibsonArt lol, just call me super slueth!!! Lol Thanks for all of the ideas!!! I'm sure that i will find many more on my own as well. I've always enjoyed the look of tissue paper decoupaged onto things, and this process is even better!!! I love the transparency of it, especially on the cheese cloth! I never would have thought of doing this without your wonderful video's!!! Thank you soooooo much!!! Wishing you a lovely forever, filled with kindness and love!!! And sending you big fat hugs!!! 🍃🤗🍃

[@katierose7539]

Such a lovely project for Christmas or other special occasions. And I want to thank you for having a nice camera set up. I know they aren’t cheap but it is discouraging to watch a video and the quality isn’t good enough to show detail. I appreciate your dedication to keeping your channel classy and instructive. The postal strike sounds awful for businesses but a great excuse for not having to send out all those Christmas cards. Hugs and a cuddle for Darcy 🥰

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Kate, it took me a lot of trial and error to get the set up where I was happy with it. Yeah the postal strike is awful, but I do support the workers, they should have a decent raise, they work so hard and the company makes a huge profit every year. I still have lots to post, eek! 💗💗

Thank you very much Julie! 💗😊

[@missdeesaccount]

You do beautiful work! What a wonderful idea! My hands aren't good but I do love watching you make things with your hands. I'm a mixed-media disabled artist and my Mom helps me make my art. I love her dearly and I don't know what I would do without her. We made angel Christmas cards years ago and they sold well, mostly neighbors. I need a new idea for next Christmas and you're inspiring. Thanks and take care!

[@KariGibsonArt]

Hi Miss Dee, thank you so much, I am sorry about your hands, but I am glad your mom helps you. Those angel Christmas cards sound lovely, we make cards for my sister's church and they always sell well. I made Christmas gnomes this time. Not sure what I will do next year. Happy arting as much as you are able! 💗💗

[@KarenLeanneCreates2024]

Thank you for a new way to combine my 2 loves of fabric and paper! I have a lot of ingredients to use. Recently, I made a large batch of journals that just need the outermost covers made. I hadn't a clear idea of what to do just yet...but now you have given me fresh ideas!

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thank you, ahhh another person who loves fabric and paper, they both usually call me in different directions, so I was very happy to be able to combine the two in these projects. The resulting fabric makes great journal covers! 💗💗

[@beccasart1]

You are so good with compositions! I love them both, but esp love the cool blue. The little journals are adorable!

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thank you so much Becca, I was a bit worried at some stage thinking the fabric paper looked a bit crazy, but it looked great cut up in the end - phew! 💗💗

[@beccasart1]

@@KariGibsonArt Yes, it worked out perfectly!

Spread glue starting from the center and spreading outward eliminates wrinkles

Pretty sure all PVA is water based and water soluble 🙃 Love love Michael “Mack-en-kacker” (from his dentist skit so funny!)

[@KariGibsonArt]

Oh, maybe it is then, I find the strong stuff impossible to get out of places where I don't want it to be, LOL. Oh, I will look out for the Michael "Mack-en-kacker" one, that sounds funny! 💗💗

Really enjoy watching you work--TY!

Fabulous idea! They look great ❤️

Thanks so much! 😊💗

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

You said you weren't feeling Christmassy yet which brought to mind Michael MacIntyre's bit aboutfeelingChristmassy. Do you ever watch his Christmas specials? I have to wait until they're on KZbin to watch them since I'm not in the UK. I enjoy watching his stand up comedy.

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Darcy, I will look them out, I don't want TV at all so I will have missed them. I do like him, he is a hoot! 💗💗

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

The feeling Christmassy bit is on YT.

[@sirkkalinnea6696]

Kari, both fabrics are very beautiful and the white bears 🐨 🐨 so, so cute. Amazingly beautiful work and it shows how talented and hard working you are. It's inspiring to follow you. Will check the other link also - the one you provided on the comment - but tomorrow b/c it's already 3 am on this side of Europe.

[@sirkkalinnea6696]

Also forgot to say that nice to hear you finding 🎄⛄ Christmas feel little by little. 🎄 🎄

[@KariGibsonArt]

I am forcing myself, LOL!

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thank you so much Sirkka, oh you were up late! 💗💗

[@sirkkalinnea6696]

​@@KariGibsonArt oh no, forcing doesn't sound good. Just let the Christmas feeling come by itself if that happens, otherwise it's not good.

Excellent as always kari xx

[@lesleywells3497]

Will this work with wrapping paper, or other types of paper, like magazine or ads? Only tissue and napkins? (Btw- Ty for amazing content and creativity! I love this video!)

[@KariGibsonArt]

I am sure it will, Lesley, give it a try and thank you for your very lovely comment! 💗💗

[@ru4repeattoo]

That is another brilliant idea! I can't wait to try this.

I have not tried making fabric paper yet? Du think mod podge would work? I love everything thank you for the lovely video! I haven’t done any Xmas crafts yet I have lots of stuff but haven’t been in the mood lol 😂 xx ❤

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Kerri-Ann, I am sure Mod Podge will work, try it on a small piece first maybe? I am still struggling with feeling festive, but I am now trying hard to get it on, LOL! 💗💗

[@kayeprescott8228]

What size sewing machine needle & what kind of thread do use use on this thick fabric paper? Very pretty❤

[@KariGibsonArt]

Hi Kaye, I just use a standard needle and standard Gutermann sewing thread, it works fine! 😀❤

[@zanredcrow9769]

Can one use acrylic gel medium instead of PVA glue?

[@KariGibsonArt]

Yes, I am sure you can!😀❤

[@ruthguthrie1099]

Do you use the full napkin layers or just the patterned top one?

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Ruth, I just use the top layer. 😀💗

[@patdawson3555]

What’s the best fabric you have used? I am going to try muslin

[@KariGibsonArt]

I quite like the plain lightweight cotton, the muslin is lovely too though! 😊💗

[@number1bettyboop]

Do you make your lovely ribbons

[@KariGibsonArt]

The ribbons are recycled sari silk, it is lovely for this sort of thing! 💗😊💗
