I really LOVE your channel! But really, who does NOT have a stash of scraps? I even have scraps from my scraps.

[@ochervelvet9687]

Me too! 😅

[@BookandPaperArts]

Veronica, you speak the truth and we know our tribe. Still, occasionally I get comments from brand new newbies and I want to make sure all of the bases are covered. (Who am I kidding?😺)

These are darling! Thanks for showing how. I want to make a bunch and do nothing but put them all in a bowl to look at. ❤

I saw some mounted or something in a small cigar box as a mixed media shadow box and it looked so cool. I might try it that way.

[@kathleensmith9307]

I've made two scrolls since I watched your video. I am totally obsessed. I haven't yet decided on what I will attach them to. This is truly my medium. ❤️❤️❤️

[@BookandPaperArts]

Hi Kathleen. Thanks for this message. I get the obsessed part and have almost used all of my scraps and believe you me, that was a LOT of scraps. Happy making!

[@sandrawheeler2295]

I’m on a road trip with my husband, loving retirement, bonding, all that sort of stuff…but I need to get home ASAP to make some of these. Best. Video. Ever. 🥰🤗

[@ChristinaIyama-Kurtycz]

I loved this project! I used the tea bags you showed us as the backing. I did punch three 1/8" inch holes at one end and tied the scroll to the stick with raffia ribbon. So much fun! Thank you!!

[@BookandPaperArts]

Hi Christina. I like that idea of a tie wrapping as part of the scroll itself. I'll try that next time. Thanks for comparing notes! Kelly

Hi Terry. Layers are our friends. Just keep going and see what beauty emerges. 😺😺

[@alexandraalmeida3661]

I also watch Kathryn (K3n) for some years (before she had the stitching challenges) and I saw her stitching a meditation scroll and I thought of making one, but I never did until now that I finally decided to start mine (I guess I sometimes struggle to stitch something that doesn’t have a “function”, so to speak) and I’m loving it. I’m using a piece of driftwood I found on the beach. I love the idea of using scraps of paper. Yours look gorgeous and I love the grungy look 😊💙💚🩶🩷💛❤️🤎🧡💜🖤♥️

[@BookandPaperArts]

Hi Alexandra. I bet it will look beautiful with a piece of driftwood. And maybe being beautiful and making you happy can be a function. It would be for me! But you can also cut off pieces and use them in other work. Let me know how it goes. 🌼🌼🌷🌷🌻🌻Kelly

[@alexandraalmeida3661]

@ I agree. Its function is to make me happy. I’m enjoying it so much that I will never tear it up 😊

[@swl9270]

Love it! Super cool! Could use the backside as a journal, a story, 🤔

Yes. That is a good idea.😺

[@noreenlawlor3700]

Marvellous way to use up scraps. Gorgeous result. Love anything grungy/vintagy. Can't wait to make some of these scrolls and attempt to reduce my stash of scraps. Thanks for sharing.

[@BookandPaperArts]

Hi Noreen. I actually went from two big boxes of scraps to just a few pieces in half of no time after making these so go get 'em!

[@creativepassages]

It turned out lovely. It's basically like a snippet roll. I make one once with scrap booking paper as my base. I like the tissue paper better. That coffee dyed yellow turned out to be very nice and vintage looking. Mine was very bulky and much longer. Yours is a nice size. You taught me some things with the chalk. This was fun to watch!

[@debrathain]

I could definitely get behind blueberry and tumeric yellow. How about some shoes in those colours? We are so lucky with the resources out there! I'm doing a digital detox from scrolling but turning to Pinterest instead and wow, so much inspiration. Happy making, Connie.

Thank you for adding to my ideas on how to do scrolls with paper. I have done them with fabric but still have a collection of spools from New England fabric mills just begging to be decorated. Thanks for the inspiration to try this new (to me) approach. They will look great with the growing collection of tea bag mini journals project that are almost done!!

Oh man, a collection of spools? I am jealous. Back in the day I have some oversize spindles that I used as hat holders. Don't know where they got to! Be sure and email me some photos when you get making them. Kelly

I love these! ❤❤❤ I've made these befor using used tea bags opening them up and removing the tea then gluing them together to make a long strip as my base to glue my collage elements. It is so therapeutic and relaxing while making them.

Hi Lisa. I've also used tea bags for strips. The parchment/linen look is so cool. And you are right about the therapeutic part!

Even if I never use it in my journals, it is gorgeous to look at. Thank you for the inspiration!! I think it would be fun to make a Christmas themed one on a cinnamon stick….hmmm, there’s an idea!

Hi Jill. Thanks for this lovely message. It made me smile. Isn't it good to be making?

[@Gothlite-i1l]

I don't have any scraps because I put all the scraps from making a journal into an envelope, and the envelope into the journal itself (and I give away all my journals). I do keep all the white (copy) paper cut off and this gives me an idea besides the Frankenpaper I make with those scraps. I could paint, draw, mark make, stamp, etc., on the paper and then use it for scrolls! Those scrolls would be great to give away, too. TFS!

[@BookandPaperArts]

Yes! I forgot to add that part. Wouldn't these make terrific Happy Mail or to add to a little present? Good ideas about the fodder you have already made from the cut offs. So versatile! Kelly

Hi Helene. Thanks for this. I walk a lot so I have quite the stash of twigs and it is good to have something to do with them. Poetry on the other side would be very cool. I'm also going to try to add short bits of that found text from old books for embellishment on the decorated side.

Great video and ideas. I like the homage to historical use of scrolls. Is all PVA glue archival, or does it depend on the brand?

[@BookandPaperArts]

Hi David. All PVA glue is NOT archival but it can be. The best thing is to search for that online. It may be pricier but it will last for ages. I am using matte gel medium. I am not sure if it is strictly archival but it is a high quality and should last forever-ish. Hope this helps!

[@suelutz5364]

Thank you so much, Kelly! This is just what I needed to get out of a slump. I made two from tea bags and one from brown packing paper. The brown paper seems a little stiff, so I'm not sure if I will be able to put it on a scroll. But I haven't yet gone back to add some marking with moisture. Do you think that will make a difference? If not I'll just use it in journals and to make some clusters.

[@BookandPaperArts]

Hi Sue. I can see how the brown paper will be somewhat stiff and adding the liquid elements will only soften it for a time. You could try rolling it carefully while it is damp or just wait and make it all kind of awkward and stiff and crinkly and that's a look, too. Keep me posted!

Kelly my friend, these scrolls are so, so amazing! I mean, what an awesome way to use up trash, scraps, bits n bobs of fabrics in one easy roll! And I just LOVED that old looking "clothes peg", that was beautiful! I have both Mod Podge as well as the yellow UHU glue sticks. Will the glue sticks hold these pieces on as securely as the MP will? And will it hold when I spray lite water over some of these pieces for drizzle? Obviously UHU is less mess, so I'm leaning that way. And suggestions from you?? Thanks in advance.

Howdy, Lynn. Well, I wouldn't hesitate to try a UHU stick. That is some good stuff and I use it a lot. I would still favour gel medium but you know, use what you got. Mod Podge will work. I think if the glue is good and dry it should hold when spritzed. See what you think and keep me posted. Kelly

Love this ideam did you seal the paper strip with anything to protect it?

[@BookandPaperArts]

Hi. I did not. You could add a coat of matte gel medium but it will probably make the paper stiffer and bulk up. You could add spray fixative but the thing is once you get the water soluble activated with water and then dried, and the pastels are worked in thoroughly, they are pretty much "fixed" already. Hope this helps!
