Handmade Embellishments: Paper Strips

[@annacevedo6079]

Love the idea of using an old magazine as a “glue book”! Also using mounted paper scrap strips fo diecutting! ❤️

[@LollyPalooza]

thanks!

[@sherrydmyterko-tramp8654]

Love this idea. You have great ideas and explain things so clearly. It’s easy to understand. Thanks!

[@LollyPalooza]

many thanks!

[@pamalapeterson5352]

Just found this video and have been busy using all my strips ... had a craft drawer full! Thank you for sharing!

[@LollyPalooza]

OOH, FUN! :)

[@patriciachampion9132]

The only way to go making your own and using up scraps, tyfs Pat

[@LollyPalooza]

most certainly! I'm putting each completed color collection in its own zippered bag in my ephemera box.

[@patriciachampion9132]

Great idea!!

[@ruthannamarteifio2956]

I have glued my strips diagonally; then cut them for card backings---- Now, since watching you, will also make some embellishments---- Thanks!

[@LollyPalooza]

sounds lovely

[@vnetta662]

Great video, Lolly! I love how you transformed your scraps into cute embellishments.

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you. I am pretty happy with how they turned out!

[@MsJoyceG]

Love the concept.I have Cricut Print then Cut and have tons of white strips and chunks. This concept getting scraps together and creating new. Thank you for sharing.

[@LollyPalooza]

I just got a Cameo. Same thing -- lots of scraps!

[@lynns.3902]

This is another GREAT idea Lolly! My scrap box is waiting! Thanks for sharing!

[@LollyPalooza]

+Lynn S. You are welcome. I think I'll go through my larger scraps, too, and trim off any useful sides. :)

[@Scrappinmomof3inpa]

Great idea to use up those scraps!! Thanks so much for sharing!! Diana

[@LollyPalooza]

+scrappinmomof3 inpa You are welcome! I'm so excited -- I've been cleaning up my craft area, and I just couldn't bear to get rid of these strips! I always end up with a pile of them next to my trimmer!

[@mebee4894]

What I do with the negatives (leftover stuff from die cutting) is put it through the paper shredder,hey Presto, pretty coloured present packing :-)

[@LollyPalooza]

how cool! Thanks for sharing

[@andreagreen571]

Great ideas. I did not know what to do with them and I continue to add new ones to the pile. Thanks for the tips.

[@LollyPalooza]

+Andrea Green Yay! Something to use up scraps! :)

[@KIMKIDS]

I love the idea of how you used the paper strip scraps and you made some amazing embellishments 💜 thanks for sharing!!

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you! I'm loving them, too. Super easy

[@bellasbuggybags1404]

Brilliant idea. They work so well together.

[@LollyPalooza]

+bellas buggybags Thanks. Having fun with this!

[@CraftyComeLately]

Totally fabulous idea! Love it. I use them to make rosettes and the paper clip embellishments and flags but this is a great way to do much more faster! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@LollyPalooza]

+Crafty Come Lately We can do it all. Use the strips for this project, and the other scraps for rosettes and paper clip art. :)

[@CraftyComeLately]

Totally!! Thanks again for sharing!

[@ruthportway5198]

Great ideas. I have been making the same sort of patchwork with strips and using them on card fronts but I had not thought to die cut from the pieces. I will now TFS

[@LollyPalooza]

glad to help!

[@froggyrules1966]

Beautiful embellishments and a great idea! Tfs Darlene 😊

[@LollyPalooza]

I am thankful for your thoughtfulness!

[@whatever123651]

Very cute and love them. They make me happy!!!

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you. Your comment makes ME happy!

[@CountryASMR]

Those are gorgeous. You're very creative.

[@LollyPalooza]

+Country ASMR Thank you so much. I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video and comment. :)

[@sweetdrops45]

Very pretty and a wonderful idea! Thanks for sharing!

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you so much!

[@mddell58]

This video popped up on the, 'to watch.' Love this idea!! I'm so new to all of this type of crafting. I'm seeing so many tools, etc. I really like the die cuts. They make everything so beautiful. Thank you for sharing this.

[@LollyPalooza]

D Hoosier you're welcome. Yes, KZbin will often suggest videos to you that are similar to what you have watched or are from a crafter you like, but you haven't seen a particular video of hers yet.

[@debbiewoten9403]

Very pretty! I love how they turned out.

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you! I was pleasantly surprised with them. :)

[@laurielyon1892]

I'm just starting to getting back into crafts and I like how you are using them . I also like using a magazine to use a place to do your gluing

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you. The magazine idea helps so much!

[@auntpattyscrafts]

Oh what a great idea! I am making scrap embellishments right now also but I never thought of the patchwork method! Love it! I will post my embellishments on FB paperclip art later!

[@LollyPalooza]

Yes, make some paper clip art this way! I haven't done that yet! :)

[@thetapequeen5489]

Love these, Lolly! I'm glad to hear the Avery permanent glue sticks work well, because I have trouble finding the Uhu ones. Used them for years and then it was like they started disappearing. Tfs Hugs, Shell

[@LollyPalooza]

+TheTapeQueen Yes, the UHU here is in our art supply store, and our local scrapbooking store started carrying them, too. I do like Avery. I can get them at Staples and Amazon.

[@crathkamp]

I have two whole large bags of these types of scraps, guess I know what to do with them now, Thanks for the idea!

[@LollyPalooza]

+Cheryl Rathkamp Yay! Glad to help you put them to use! :D

[@suzannejohnston9851]

Awesome Lolly! Tyfs 💞💞

[@LollyPalooza]

Thank you. So many possibilities with these strips!

[@lisafolkmann6781]

Hi - I really enjoyed your video, and was very glad that I stayed and watched the whole thing. Browns, yellows and oranges are my least favorite colors, so when you made the first page, I almost stopped watching. Boy, am I glad I didn't!! Blue is my favorite color, and the bright yellow and white on the embellishments just really "popped" - and were adorable! I've been saving my scraps - including "strips" for a long time, and now I definitely know what to do with them. Thanks very much for sharing!!

[@LollyPalooza]

I hear you about that orange! Least fav. I tend to only use orange in fall crafting. Thanks for sticking it out to the end!

[@creationsbylillibet4508]

Wow Lolly thanks foir such awesme creativity.. You rock like always dear I love ya

[@LollyPalooza]

that's so sweet of you!

[@missrosethiessen9487]

Hi Lolly, I hate throwing my leftover paper out and this is such a great idea. Love all your embellishments . Tfs Marina :))

[@LollyPalooza]

[@jbenedict520]

LOVE THIS! I have lots of scraps... Need to get some glue sticks:) Thanks Lolly

[@LollyPalooza]

+J Benedict You can use liquid glue, but after you punch the images out, you'll need to tack down some corners.

[@sherbearcreations1927]

Love them !!

[@LollyPalooza]

+SherBear Creations Many thanks! :)

[@ilenemack]

This is a great idea. SO funny I glue on old magazines too all the time too. I woner if this type of paper could go through the cricut maker or if the glue would be a problem. I enjoyed this:)

[@LollyPalooza]

One issue would be the issue of the blade "catching" between edges of the paper strips.

[@ilenemack]

@@LollyPalooza True. Still love this technique!

[@MsMaria990]

Hi Lolly, This is such a great idea. I love it. I'm going to give it a try. Really wonderful tutorial. thank you so much xo

[@LollyPalooza]

+Maria Diaz Have fun! :) I thought as soon as I get enough of patterns that work together, I can go ahead and glue them down even if I punch them out later.

[@MsMaria990]

+Lolly Palooza , I had some scraps around my dining table and took some rolodex card and glued them down. I had an hour worth of fun. I didn't stamp on them but the pattern I got with the different papers came out so cool. I'll just look at them for now. But I will certainly use the long scraps as well. Thanks so much crafty friend. You're wonderful and very inspiring. xo

[@LollyPalooza]

+Maria Diaz isn't it fun? :)

[@ladonnacaperton5323]

Love this! Thanks

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you so much

[@AlysonWhite]

Love this! Thanks for sharing. Thinking out loud. If done with smaller strips, the designs could be scaled down and made into paper clips. :-)

[@LollyPalooza]

+Zeffy Konstantinidis many thanks!

[@lisaporche4959]

I love this video! Thanks!! What is the name of the Large laced heart punch that you used?

[@LollyPalooza]

Hi, Lisa! I used a regular heart punch, about 2.5" wide by Marvy Uchida. I haven't seen it anywhere for years, but there are some others about the same size. I then glued it onto a heart-shaped doily, so it just looks like it was a laced heart punch.

[@LindaCurl]

Awesome idea! tfs!

+Linda Curl Thank you for watching!! ~Lolly

[@sarahscraftylife8154]

This is an awesome idea! ! TFS! Love the blue and yellow combo! And yes, I have several boxes with paper scraps, will definitely have to make some of these. Would be great to use for pocket letters. BTW, what brand die is the typewriter? Thanks!

[@LollyPalooza]

+Sarah's Crafty Life It's a Spellbinders die. I use it a lot!

Hey Lolly... cute embellies

[@LollyPalooza]

+Rebecca Haynes Thank you! I was very happy with how they turned out.

[@toniromero2914]

What a great re-use of all those scraps. Superb. Have you ever experienced any paper "coming up" after use with those dry glue sticks? Thanks so much!!!

[@LollyPalooza]

+Toni Romero Depends on the glue stick you use. The UHU is supposed to be the most permanent, but it's harder to find. I've had good luck with the Avery stick. I have cards that I made 20 years ago, and they are still well assembled.

[@toniromero2914]

Awesome!!!!! Good to know. I do have a stick of the UHU. I guess when I think of glue sticks, I think of those that I used in grade school.. They didn't last very long. Thank you for your response.

[@LVoxymom]

Another great idea! Is the white sheet of paper card stock?

[@LollyPalooza]

Yes, it is. I needed that strong base to glue the papers onto it.

[@toniromero2914]

Hello again - I commented the other day. Going through my stash, and so far, I have more strips of card stock than I do patterned paper. Any tips for them?

[@LollyPalooza]

+Toni Romero You can still use them for the same purpose. If they are close to the same thickness, they will lie next to each other well on the paper. I just wouldn't be too keen on mixing different weights of paper together, though that still might be a cool look.

[@wildcatz42743]

what kind of die machine are you using? Thinking of getting one or would just using my silhouette machine work good too on this paper strip video?

[@LollyPalooza]

If you are talking about a Silhouette Cameo, the digital cutting machine? The blade might catch on in between the layers as it's cutting. For Die cutting, I have a Sizzix Big Shot

[@wildcatz42743]

what size machine do you have and what are some basic dies that you can use on any layout? I have all boys too.
