⭐ FOILING WITH A LAMINATOR ⭐ THERMAL LAMINATOR DIY PROJECT

[@moosedawg71]

You should use a protective sheet (just plain paper works) over the foil so it doesn't wrinkle and get stuck in your machine.

[@brittneyjordan0879]

You can also use your laminator to to make stencils!! That's what I use mine for the most!

[@belindamason8286]

Brittney Jordan 😱😃What, stencils!?!!?! I love that idea but please how do you do that??

[@subuferns7320]

Really ? How do you do that

[@melimel9265]

How? So interested to know

[@DrumBumsMum]

I’ve always wanted a laminator. I always come up with things I could use it for. This would be great for putting foil onto cards I plan on making with my Cricut. I received an Amazon gift card and I didn’t know what to use it for. I bought the laminator, and used the coupon code. No out of pocket cost and a new fun toy for me!!! Thank you as always!

[@lizfenwickdiy]

That is awesome Helen! I hope you enjoy it. Liz

[@jackies35]

Do you have a laser printer?

[@GlueGunsRoses]

New to me! I have a laminator from teaching and was going to give it away! Loved this video girl one of the most relevant & naturally presented sponsored videos I have ever seen! ❤❤❤

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Thanks Megan, I used to be a teacher too! We are so much alike:)

[@GlueGunsRoses]

@@lizfenwickdiy how funny!

[@sunflowr0803]

Omg I have a laminator too and now I want to foil ALL THE THINGS. 😂

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Yes, Kristen! That is how I felt!

[@mathieulacas188]

🤣🤣🤣👌

[@lizachristian2968]

Wow, that is incredible Liz! Such great ideas. Perhaps you could also keep the used reactive foil (with the image cut-out) to make another sign, meaning that you would have a teal sign with a clear image of the mermaid. TFS 🤗

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Great idea!

[@MaggieIWebb]

OMGosh I have a laminator but I really NEED this one...lol okay maybe I don't really need it but I sure do want one. Thank you for showing us this I will be picking one up. Have a great day.

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Thanks for watching!

[@Chemlea]

How do you get the foil to stick only to the area of the picture and not the whole paper? I'm new to this...appreciate any help

[@cherikirin4870]

Love the laminate! So many beautiful projects can be done. Would like to see a project or two using the laminate. 🧡💛💚

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Thanks Cheryl!

[@rosemarypetrongelli1384]

What a nice idea Liz. Got to show my grandchildren, they have the laminator. But that’s a great idea. Thanks

[@pampreast9921]

Super cool that you can do all that!!! TFS

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Thanks Pam!

[@joannerichardson5857]

Excellent video!! Thanks for all the details and projects!

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Hi Joanne Richardson! Thanks so much for watching my video. 😊

[@kiki1965]

Awesome ideas! My laminator came with a separate paper cutter and edge trimmer. I love your model. I think I will pick one up. Thanks... 😁

[@maceydeaver9679]

Can you use this idea with an ink jet printer?

[@benpenph]

Can we just use a pigment ink printers or a mono chrome printer is essential for this?

[@devilnotinu2303]

U use normal paper or special paper for it can I use the normal laminate machine?

[@kellercrucita550]

Great! New suscriber.

[@rositaquezada9694]

Did you used laser paper for printing the mermaid?

[@altoobaateliert]

Luster sheet can be foil? Glossy paper can be foil?

[@janetsways4176]

That’s so cool! Your screen went dark at the reveal of the foil sign so I couldn’t see the finished product. I love laminated glasses. I the preschool I laminated all the pieces in the kids games to keep them from tearing or dog earring at the edges.

[@awangboi3250]

Can print using epson ink jet😊?

[@nataliearena2241]

Thank you

[@mariamercado3946]

Nice I don't have a laminator but now I can put it on my list for Mother's Day. 😊

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Perfect!

[@myra1966]

You could always use a hot iron,a tea towel between the laminating pouches and the very hot iron seals it no steam though turn that off,hope that helps till your giving a laminator for mother’s day

[@creartivebynature]

Cool, now I need a laser printer 😉 Thanks for sharing 😄💖

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Thanks for watching!

[@mayralizethmeza991]

it is super cool, thank you for sharing:) Do you know how to use the cold bottom on the laminator?

[@hackbattle4283]

Could you use an iron and get the same results?

[@judylake9878]

Wow! I don't have one and wondered how they work. Can you put these on shirts, etc. ? Can you show more information on what you do after your items are done?

[@isabelleevremont3510]

Hi, thank you for that video, can I know, if there is a special, brand for the foil

[@kathrynkemp1101]

You will need to buy 'toner reactive foil' - try 'Pretty Things' brand

[@donnabeckner2389]

Can I use a thermal printer??

[@thechickincharge1073]

😱 OH MY LORD IN HEAVEN!

[@bgossett7632]

I will assume that ink jet printer won’t work for this? This is very cool!

[@kathrynkemp1101]

Only works with laserjet printers as the heat melts the toner and the foil sticks to it - with inkjet there is nothing to melt

[@LizzieWestBathandBody]

Liz! You just created a Monster! Oh my the things I can do! Wow! Love this Share! ((Hugs)) You are the Best!

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Thanks so much!

[@pamelaarbour3368]

I have a laminator. I am interested in seeing what else you can come up with. I love the foil idea.

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Thanks Pamela!

[@PeterAgostiniJdcap26]

That’s why I’m trying to figure out do I really need a laminating machine ?

[@lifebysandrag2055]

This is a great idea! I have the same laminator but the brand is “ABOX” 🤔 Just used it to laminate my son’s varsity letters. It’s his last year in high school and I want to make sure those last “forever” ❤️

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@suziehudson8398]

Oh wow!

[@lizfenwickdiy]

I'm so glad you liked it, Suzie Hudson! Stay tuned for more fun videos. 😊

[@rachelcranfield445]

This is sooooooo cool!! I see a lot more projects in my future doing this. Expecially since I'm one who doesn't own a fancy cricut machine. Seems all the cool projects need a laser printer 😒 thanks for showing us this!

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Thanks for watching!

[@bnina2002]

Very helpful

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Hi bnina2002! Thanks so much for watching my video. 😊

[@johnjohn4465]

WOW !!!! 5 Stars !!!!! John

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Hello John John! Thanks for finding my channel. Stay tuned for more fun DIY videos. ❤️

[@adrienmanso4222]

Hi Thanks for the video. What is the exact model of your printer plz ?

[@dhanson1955]

do you have to use a lazer printer? can a inkjet be used?

[@kathrynkemp1101]

Only works with laserjet printers as the heat melts the toner and the foil sticks to it - with inkjet there is nothing to melt

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

Without a carrier?

[@kazamaroo]

Do you need specific printer for images?

[@kkvanpelt6768]

Wow it’s official you are really a genius. I’m gonna try this on my machine thank you so much💕

[@MegaLoveArashi]

Does the paper matter for the foiling

[@sylviaguzman5856]

Thanks just bought me another laminator because i love the cutting figures on this one and when you are a preschool teacher you cant have to many laminators.

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Yes, you will need them!

[@janedoe9421]

Wow so cool!!!

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Thanks Jane!

[@Lettman2000]

I love sketching my own work and I'm wanting to go up a level by putting the foil on top of it.. Is there a way you can do that with the foil and laminator??

[@mjnic1]

I would take your sketch to a laser printer to make a copy of it. Then placing foil on top of your laser copy, I would then run that through your laminator.

[@Mamu-sq9fl]

does the foil only stick to laser prints? how about inkjet?

[@kathrynkemp1101]

Only works with laserjet printers as the heat melts the toner and the foil sticks to it - with inkjet there is nothing to melt

[@lizachristian2968]

Do you know if it would work with an inkjet printer?

[@lizfenwickdiy]

I don't think the foil reacts with inkjet.

[@loriholt4170]

Love the foil idea. Can u use a inkjet printer? I don't have a laser printer.

[@lizfenwickdiy]

No inkjet won't react with the foil.

[@SimplyMsSassy]

Very nice

[@susanm3505]

Hi... love this idea! Thanks so much! Can you please tell me where you found the mermaid & I love us print-out? TIA :)

[@lizfenwickdiy]

I just went to google and typed in mermaid svg file

[@III-pd7vz]

Only laser printer ??

[@kathrynkemp1101]

Only works with laserjet printers as the heat melts the toner and the foil sticks to it - with inkjet there is nothing to melt

[@manuelpeirofrias293]

Why make this? Why no print in final paper?

[@elizabethkeane3512]

Omg! Mind blown. Can I use any laminator? I have a cheap one....

[@mperezitz]

Yes u can I have a cheap one and it works

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Yes!

[@gwendolyn411969]

I wondered if I can do it with my Laminator I got from Walmart

[@lizfenwickdiy]

You can have a try. Good luck! 💕

[@jackies35]

Do you have a laser printer?

[@alejandra_perez]

I’ve always wanted a laminator. :) thanks for sharing. xo

[@loragalluzzi9266]

Why Lasar Printer vs Inkjet Printer?

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Lora, The inkjet won't react with the foil. Liz

[@SkitzerPoindexter]

A laser printer uses toner, which is a substance that is heated and melted to stick to the paper on a printed document. Reheating this toner (to make it sticky again) is what makes the foil stick to the paper. An inkjet printer uses ink, which won't stick anything to anything.

[@onestampless]

Cool. This idea is really old..... Been doing this for years
