How To Make Vintage Tape For Junk Journals

Here's how I make cellophane/transparent tape look aged. It's a great way to further distress and antique junk journal paper. I use the 'Caramel' Ranger alcohol ink as well as other brown colours: amzn.to/2Z0DNIJ

Ah, that's how you do it. Love it.

[@debbieanneEVG]

thanks!

[@maiotm]

Hi Debbie Anne... I’ve found that the backing from sheets of shipping labels works great for this technique. The tape comes right off!

[@debbieanneEVG]

I will have to try it once I get my hands on them, thanks! Xo

[@salinalee6813]

Wow what a fantastic idea!! Thanks for sharing with us 😊

[@debbieanneEVG]

How I never thought of alcohol inks, thanks so much for this !!

[@debbieanneEVG]

Alcohol inks are sooo great! Love them 😁❤👍

[@N3k0N3k0N3k0]

Great tip! I never thought of appreciating that old tape look, but now, as a junk journaler, I do!

[@sharongruener6078]

Yes, great tip. Thanks for sharing.

Love this technique, came over from Beth's channel.

[@debbieanneEVG]

[@bettylongshore9594]

AWESOME idea!!!!!

[@barbaranielsen9808]

Wow! Never seen this before - I love this idea. Thank you for sharing ❣️

[@debbieanneEVG]

Try it out, you'll love it! ❤️

[@barbaranielsen9808]

I definitely will, just need to get the right colour alcohol ink. I've just tried with a mix of tea die distress ink and sunset orange alcohol and they are quite usable but a bit blotchy because I expect they don't mix very well - or perhaps I'm a bit impatient. But I think they look great anyway lol. 💕

[@heyseaville55]

This is brilliant. I didn't think I needed alcohol inks until now.

[@debbieanneEVG]

😁👍

[@maiotm]

I decided to try this with vintage photo distress ink on “magic tape” cause I didn’t have any clear...and it worked great!! Thanks for the inspiration, Debbie-Anne!!

[@MandaFandaa]

Theresa Gilliam just curious what magic tape is? Do you think the vintage photo distress ink would rub off of clear tape?

[@Denita_Wishart]

@@MandaFandaa I know it's been 2 years since you asked this, however, if you didn't figure it out...I believe magic tape is one of Scotch Tapes brands.

Great tip!! This would work great with masking tape too as washi

[@debbieanneEVG]

Absolutely..this idea came because I wanted something still transparent.

[@paulawastel8315]

You always have such marvellous ideas. Thanx for sharing this tip. I've put masking tape on a transparency and printed an "antique" rose paper pattern on it and used the strips as washi tape, but tha last few strips I left for a month or two and struggled to get them off. So now I make sure I use them a within a few days. I will definitely use your idea.

[@debbieanneEVG]

Fabulous idea, it's nice to add unique little details to journals and other crafts 😊

Hello Debbie~wanted you to know that I gave you credit for the tape-I actually think it is genius! I love it so much. I used the Latte ink for color in my journal. So I think the issue will come out July 1. Mid-May I will get a draft of the article, so I'll make sure all the info is correct. I really believe your tape was the perfect touch for my journal. I hope a lot of people will come to your beautiful channel. Thank you again! ~Debra

[@Denita_Wishart]

[@MandaFandaa]

That’s so cool that it doesn’t rub off of the tape. I’m guessing the distress inks would rub off?

[@debbieanneEVG]

You'd have to test them but I'm guessing they would.

[@MandaFandaa]

Ephemera's Vintage Garden just tried it and yes it does rub off. I’ll have to grab me some alcohol inks. Thanks for sharing such a cool idea!

[@susanhetler4704]

What a fantastic idea! Thanks for sharing it 💜 Is there a particular brown color of ink you like? 😊

[@debbieanneEVG]

All the browns are nice, and mixing them works well too. I'm so sorry for the long delay in responding. I have found a handful of videos from the past few years where I actually replied right away on the YT mobile app but my comments didn't appear!

[@CozyRevolution]

Cool idea! Tfs XxxRichalyn

[@joanmacleod1362]

Would anything else work besides alcohol ink ? Love the look !

[@debbieanneEVG]

I haven't tried anything else but I imagine it would have to be something that dries permanent and transparent if you want the same effect.

[@LynsAlteredArts]

A Sharpie marker is alcohol-based so you might try that out or any marker that is alcohol-based.

[@kkossor3046]

Hi. Great tip! TFS Oh, by the way, was that a sheet of acetate you stuck the tape to? Thanks again.

[@debbieanneEVG]

I don't remember what kind it was here. I have used the type you run through a laminator, as well as clear binder dividers, and the back of sticker sheets. They all work great.
