FAUX RICE PAPER

[@JimmyandTammy]

I like that you don't give up! And...you take chances! That's how we learn new things and the paper you showed us is gorgeous. I do love adding the gold or shimmer....can't wait to see what you do with it! Thank you for sharing.

@JimmyandTammy thank you!! 😊 I'm so loving the napkin with many layers. Oh my gosh, the texture is speaking to my soul lol❤️

Thank you for showing this process❤

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

Have you ever tried it before? I'm really hoping I wasn't the only one that struggled with this lol Thank you so much!🙂

@CraftedByChristyShop this will be my first time.

The only thing I don't like about making that paper, is that the back is shiney from the glue. I saw someone do some on parchment paper, and it wasn't very shiney at all, I like that better. I also hang them on the clothesline to dry, watching till when they're mostly dry. Then I peel them from the parchment paper and rehang to finish drying, made a bunch this past summer. 😎

@carolm9451 it does leave kind of shiny, but I think I like that. Makes me think it's protected a little bit. The ones I layered didn't seem very shiny. Maybe they soaked it up. What kinds of things did you do with yours?? I'm loving them. The layered ones mostly. Thank you so much!!😊❤️ Ps wishing I had a clothesline😊

@@CraftedByChristyShop Well, I'm sure my neighbors wonder about me sometimes, as there's always papers hanging on my clothesline, lol. Laundry does get hung as well, nothing like the fresh smell of blankets that have been hung out to dry on the line, love it!! 💜🥰💜 The papers I recently made, I used different dried flowers and leafs between the napkins, I only used 2 sheets. I also added pretty strong coffee to water down my glue, so I have the brownish color. I did some with a couple drops of food coloring also, so have pink, blue and green ones. I did the first napkin with the colored glue mix and the second one I covered with the coffee mixture, made nice muted colors in the end. Up to now, I used a couple for pages in the journal, so looks pretty cool, with the texture of the dried flowers, and it's thin enough to be kinda transparent. I plan to make some envelopes, pockets, and scrap pieces will be used in clusters. Other ideas are also a plus to hear 🥴

@carolm9451 oh my goodness,, the smell of sheets dried on the line,, that makes me homesick! Good memories. I just finished making the video of things I've made. Hope you don't mind, I mentioned you in it 😊 thank you so much for all your feedback. I appreciate it so much!!❤️

[@stellabiteme]

What do we do with them now? I made lots last year and they're in a file doing nothing. What are you going to do with yours?

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@stellabiteme I'm working on that now, and promise to share the ideas that work in the next video, or so,, thank you!
