[@Kagedfish]

Thanks, Shoes are great!!

[@NolaGB]

Different size binder clips are great for holding down pages, so they don't curl when you spray.

[@monicaingram2970]

Thanks for these suggestions.

[@debmorris9648]

clean or new tub bath mats are great texture for lots of uses---thanks for the video

[@Kagedfish]

Great idea!!

[@helenfenske8121]

Thanks, Karla!!! Shoes? Great idea!!!

[@Kagedfish]

+Helen Fenske well flip flops are the best!! but yeah I like bottoms of shoes!

[@lechat8736]

I don`t know about all you crafters out there but I am addicted to finding textures for stamping. Nothing, and mean nothing is safe from me... Somehow I have more fun finding out new ideas for stamping than actually crafting with them - How weird is that? LOL !!! Thanks for another inspiring video :)))

[@Kagedfish]

Finding new things is always fun, I love that part too! Thanks so much!!

[@kymdempsey]

I'm off to check some shoes! TFS ..... Mimi

[@Kagedfish]

+kymdempsey if you have any kids or grandkids check theirs too, they have great tread usually!

[@pTanino]

Great share!! I love that you ask people to see the bottom of their shoes... you cracked me up!! Footwear makes some great patterns sometimes. It's fun having a collection of mark-makers. TFS!

[@Kagedfish]

+pTanino yeah I'm a crazy person, can't help it. I've learned to live with the strange looks I get! thanks!!

[@hasanhamid857]

Yeah it will be neat to get people to guess the source of the stencil. They will never guess its from the sole of your shoes!

[@Cals-All-Crafts]

Loved this video, will be going around the house looking for things i can use tfs big hugs Caroline xxx

[@Kagedfish]

+Caroline Withington you will probably find a ton of stuff!! thanks for watching!

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

OH WOW, THANK YOU!! I just looked at the tread on my shoes and it is awesome, I never would have thought of that.

[@Kagedfish]

I love shoes!!! and try looking at the flip flops that are on sale!!!!

[@REVTERAMANI]

Very creative and inspirational! Going to look at the soles of my shoes right now! Thanks💞

[@boyandbelugee]

[@LostBoy2008]

Thanks to you, it looks like I'll be turning into a Senior Dumpster Diver - but hey, if that's where the stencil patterns are lurking, I have to go for it! Thanks for the fun tutorial!

[@Kagedfish]

Oh No!! LOL The things we do, what can I say? I have been blamed for worse!! Hope you have fun!

[@mitzzy40]

This is such brilliant idea. I'm going to check my shoes right now and then I'm going to watch your video again! Thanks for sharing. God bless you.

Thank you

[@danahouse285]

What great ideas thank you!

[@Kagedfish]

Thanks so much!! I hope you try some of them!!

[@LottaSavolainen]

"The shoe approach"... Brilliant!

[@Kagedfish]

+Lotta Savolainen thanks so much!! I love looking at peoples shoes!! a lot of great patterns to be found!!

[@veronicajones3420]

If you cover the paper with packing tape before you cut it or used it the stencil lasts longer.

[@Kagedfish]

Great idea, thanks!

[@craftycrafter1960]

this is great! I'm all about finding cheaper ways to accomplish things. stencils and stamps are crazy expensive.

[@Kagedfish]

Not only is it cheaper but the things you make are your own! Thanks for your encouragement!!

[@kandieskrafts2963]

Great ideas! I use sugarless square gum packs, it's great for paint!

[@Kagedfish]

Great idea! I need to find someone who chews gum!

[@kandieskrafts2963]

Kagedfish that shouldn't be hard😉 I cut it in half and take all the foil off☺

[@ramonalee1]

I've bought flip flops on clearance for 50 cents, cut them up and used for stamps. You can find lots of different patterns and sales when they start their summer clearances.

[@Kagedfish]

wow 50 cent flip flops!! i haven't found any that cheap!! I will have to keep my eye out for those!! love flip flops!

[@63artemisia63]

The harder rubber soles may not make impressions like the Flip Flop. Worth a try tho!

[@Kagedfish]

the harder soles are a bit less cool!

[@amiradeshon5501]

Going to Good Will for shoes now. lol. Love it

[@Kagedfish]

I love thrift stores!!

[@areebamaryam7704]

Thanks Glenda!!

[@rambleon7882]

thank you!

[@Kagedfish]

You are so very welcome!

[@duchessantoinette3004]

Asking people to see the bottom of their shoes! Hilarious! Tfs

[@Kagedfish]

You should see some peoples faces after I ask, that is really funny!!!

[@lalagamma4452]

Wow great suggests!! TFS!!! 🌰XO❤XO🎃XO❤🍁

[@Kagedfish]

Thanks for watching!!

[@melodyluvsherhobbies9454]

I love the idea of using shoes! What type of ink pads do you use? Thank you so much for sharing this! 💖🎨

[@Kagedfish]

I mostly use Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pads, they seem to work for so many things I do!!

[@SuperCarolyn35]

thank you! what is the link to the facebook group again? was it art expressions?

[@Kagedfish]

Art Experiments is the Facebook Group. facebook.com/groups/1689320918002382/?multi_permalinks=1841399519461187&notif_t=group_activity&notif_id=1484768157813252

[@sobiakhan8117]

Good ideas

[@Kagedfish]

Thanks so much!!

[@ashphoenix5447]

Thank you for letting me know you got the trivet @ Walmart. I've been looking for a honeycomb pattern. I have a trivet that has great lines but not in that pattern. Yeah. I don't usually go to Walmart because it's way out of my way. Flip-flop stamps - awesome! Some of those shoes might be better with acrylics. I cover my paper stencils with cheap Dollar Tree packing tape. It's really thin but makes the paper nonporous so the stencil lasts longer. I'll have to try the folding technique next time but I think that would still fold OK. What's the link to the FB page?

[@Kagedfish]

+Ashs Vision great idea to cover paper with tape so it lasts longer!! I will have to share that if you don't mind. the facebook link is facebook.com/groups/1689320918002382/ . the group is called Art Experiments if the link doesn't work.

[@ashphoenix5447]

+Kagedfish Share away. It's not my invention. I heard about it on Terry Sproul's YT channel. Her & Pink Poodle Crafts were the 1st channels I started watching on arts & crafts. I just used the really cheap kind because it was cheap but while watching you do the folding technique I thought because it's so thin it might not interfere with the ability to fold, or at least be able to do some folds. I'll have to play around with it. Thank for the FB link. I always like places I can hear about new ideas & ways of doing things. Sent my friend request.

[@ItsTammy]

You might get a better impression if you put your hand in the shoe and press.

[@Kagedfish]

I have tried but still hard to get hand in sometimes.

[@fishngnana68]

Are your page gessoed

[@Kagedfish]

No I don't usually use gesso.
