Whenever you say, "I don't wanna bore you..." when you're doing the layering, all I can think is, "Im not bored. I could watch you do this for hours." It's so relaxing to watch you create the layers. And each layer that gets created is like its own beautiful work of art. 💜💙

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Aaaaahhh you are so sweet. That made me feel good. Thanks for watching and enjoying the video!

[@SusanSmith-hl3iv]

❤❤❤OMG! This looks like so much fun. I love to teach craft and sewing classes for children and for adults. Everyone would love making these. I love the bowls!!!! For other applications I see journal and book covers, package decorations, gift tags, and more! Guess I’m going to be a napkin and tissue paper saver. 😊I’m a new subscriber. Can’t wait to see more videos!😊😊

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

[@LoverofSunflowernBees]

I’m not sure how I will sell my creations but I needed something that I could make and sell just a few crafts here and there. I’m at risk of becoming homeless at the moment due to lack of not enough income. Your video has given me for starters a new craft and I love the boxes I have no sewing machine. That would make the wallet. But the boxes and the bowls are amazing. I got this, and I know they will all be different and the Elmer’s glue and the tissue paper and the napkins can all be purchased at the dollar tree and 99 cent only store and the fabric well there is all kinds of fabric everywhere that is sold now and even fabric is sold in pieces at the dollar tree and 99 cent only maybe.. and Walmart fabric sewing area. Thank you for showing us how to make these crafts! So much…

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Glad I was able to help you with some ideas and I wish you great success with your sales.

[@lucy7b]

I have done this with copy paper not napkin or tissue. I use the fabric paper for reinforcing spines and for hidden spines. Adding the paper stops the fabric overstretching but it remains flexible. You should try it. Thank you for your video.

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Great tip! thanks for sharing.

[@budoneof15]

I do love the variety on your channel

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

I have never been able to just do one craft. Sometimes I think it might be too much variety so I am so glad you took time to comment. Everyone enjoys something different. And hopeful that one of the crafts will click and will turn into a passion. Enjoy! As I always say “You never know what I will be up to next” Thanks for watching!

Very nice fun video. Don’t worry about using plastic. It’s a very vital product! Think of all the ways it’s used in hospitals etc. That glue is in plastic. The ones yelling about plastic are also the ones ruining our lives by interfering in everything we do.

Yeah. It’s hard to please everyone. Thanks for your support!

Recien encuentro du canal, me encanta!..he visto esta técnica antes pero no dicen en que se puede aplicar...gracias por toda la explicacion y todo lo enseñado. Comentario aparte, me asombre el grosor de la servilleta, en mi pais Chile, son muy finitas por lo que hay que trabajarlas con mucha delicadeza. Saludos.

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Translation: I just found the channel, I love it!...I've seen this technique before but they don't say how it can be applied...thanks for all the explanation and everything you taught. Separate comment, I was surprised by the thickness of the napkin, in my country Chile, they are very thin so you have to work them very delicately. Greetings. Me alegro de que hayas encontrado mi canal y te haya gustado el tutorial. Sí, nuestras servilletas suelen tener 3 capas. Glad you found my channel and you enjoyed the tutorial. Yes, our napkins usually have 3 layers.

Very fun and relaxing and so interesting. How do people come up with ideas to try like this?

White thin bed sheets work, too

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Yes it does!

[@budoneof15]

I was wondering. if you used pellon iron on vinyl after the glue fully dried the paper ones would make pretty placemats.

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Oohhh. That would be worth a try for sure! Thanks for sharing the idea for everyone!

[@sandraalbright2332]

​@@CraftyPattiArtsCraftsppppppppppp]

[@felicityhollis4613]

Use a layer of wax paper or freezer paper, shiny side against the paper/fabric. It won't stick for sure then

[@annwestcott3752]

I’m new here. I’m loving you avoiding the plastics. As well as the bowls and the other projects. Question for you. Have you any idea what sort of alternatives there might be to using PVA glue? Do you think using rice glue, or cornflour glue or some other alternative would work? I’m itching to find a more sustainable glue for my craft projects.

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Thanks for stopping by my channel! I am not familiar with any biodegradable glues unfortunately that work well.

[@madkittywoman]

I know years ago my mum would stick up wallpaper with flour and water paste.

[@judyburcham9008]

The problem with rice or corn starch is that spores can grow which off-gas leaving little bumps or bubbles. This eventuallt rots the paper and can cause " foxing" or mildew. There may be a cure or preservative used by the wallpaper industry but I'm not sure if they still make it.

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Great answer Judy. Thanks.

[@aminaelsadr947]

Very pretty and how creative. Would it be correct to assume that these items are not water proof? thank you.

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

I would say water resistant but not waterproof. BUT you can get outdoor ModPodge if you want your item to be waterproof.

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Background jingles and music is a hard one sometimes.

[@frans3474]

I just had a brain wave: instead of using ordinary fabric for your bowl, why not try t’shirting or other stretchy fabric. Stretch it over the bowl and tie the ends like a ponytail, tuck the knot inside the bowl and turn the whole thing upside down. Now coat the stretch fabric thoroughly with your glue and let it dry to get rid of the fabric “memory”. Then you’re ready to use your papers. Let me know if it works… although I’m fairly sure it will 😘❣️🌹 PS: you’ll still need something under the stretch fabric to stop it from sticking to your bowl… or use a silicone bowl!

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Thanks for your brain wave. Always lots of different ways to get the job done.

[@frans3474]

@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts You’re welcome. I just thought it would be nice to have a smooth article , although I am also a fan of textures 😉😄❣️🌹

[@jeannepaglio5582]

Wax paper or parchment paper would be good to protect your bowl.

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Yes thanks that would have worked too! My head is always so full of ideas I sometimes don’t think of the obvious. Lol.

[@jeannepaglio5582]

That happens to everyone.😀

[@felicityhollis4613]

A lot of packing tape is plastic. You don't need fabric for the bowl. For the box, put the final layers of paper on after you bend it. Fabric industry is the largest contributors of pollution. If you are being careful about plastic, then you might want to thrift fabrics instead of buying anything new. Even using fabric from old sheets or clothing can give a new life and keep things out of the landfills

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Thanks for posting your comment and for all your suggestions.

[@zinnia20207]

Fashion and its supply chain is the third largest polluting industry, after food and construction.

[@MamaMudskipper]

Crafters are probably the biggest polluters.. and the logistics to have fricken pack of stickers delivered by shipping should be criminal.

[@kathleenmarch5211]

Recycling paper is good. Fabric, too. I recycle everything I can in my art. I don’t think she deserves criticism for her method.

Thanks for your comment. A bit of a surprise as I always get such positive feedback. Not sure if you have ever published a detailed long video before. If you have not then keep in mind that when you are making videos there is so much pre planning, set up, time, effort, filming, editing, descriptions, time stamps, publishing and so much more that goes into every video. It is hard to remember and watch for every detail when there is lots of behind the scene work to do at the same time. Thanks for watching.
