"Junk Your Stuff" - Tags From Packaging - Part 1

[@gaila.c.602]

This is a great video for using up our stuff! I don't know HOW I missed seeing it before this! Thanks!

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thanks Gail. I'm glad you found it now. :-)

[@crafty5572]

What a great way to use up packaging! They turned out real cute.

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thanks JoEllen :-) Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

[@joycefalgout2498]

I LOVE YOUR JUNK TAGS. I LIKE THE WAY YOU THINK AND TALK IT OUT. LOVE USING OLD STAMPS AND RIBBONS.

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thanks so much Joyce. :-) I have a long way to go in using up my stuff but it's fun. I've been working my way through my ribbons too. Are you talking about old stamps like stamps you mail letters with or stamps you stamp images with? Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

[@maxinewebber881]

Lovely tags. Some look like they could be bookmarks. An Inspiration for my future crafting.

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thanks Maxine. :-) They would make great bookmarks. Bookmarks will be coming in future videos. :-) Thank you for watching and I appreciate the comment. :-)

[@DawnConnor-wh2ln]

Great ideas! I never would have made my tags that large. But I love it and will try some now!!

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thanks Dawn. :-) I hope you enjoy making them. :-)

[@patriciastubbs7605]

I lost count because I'm concentrating on your process and humor so much. I'll have to rewatch and try again. TFS !

[@BlackbearyForest]

lol I lost count too Patricia. :-) Thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

[@cherylrymer6782]

Had to laugh - I spotted so many items I have in my stash too. Bought so many pre-made embellishments in the beginning. Have had some for several years and never even unwrapped! Thanks for so many great ideas. Love your commentary too.

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thanks Cheryl :-) Hope you do some unwrapping. :-) Thank you for watching, :-)

[@carolm4094]

Love the tags. I'm glad you're using your stuff in such a creative way and not just throwing it away. Lots of inspiration there. Your ThomasCrown story is hilarious. I lost count of packages but I know it was a bunch. You know we love you and yes I could watch you five hours. Looking forward to part 2.

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thanks Carol. Awwww....you are just so kind. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

[@ncpelican]

Love your spontaneous method of using things up and making lovely tags.

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thank you Judy :-) Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

[@Marjana1952]

Great idea. I have been reforming greeting cards that I have got in 42 years of my life in Japan. I was keeping all of them because I just couldn't throw them away. Because I am not young I decided to throw away many things that would be trash for my son when I die. But it is hard for me to throw away things that I got. So I decided to keep only cards from close relatives and reform others to cards. I enjoy reforming them. You gave me another idea. Thank you. That is a real scrapbooking. I have hundreds sheets of new paper but I enjoy most when I make albums covers from tiny leftovers.

[@BlackbearyForest]

Hi Marjana :-) I think what you are doing with your cards is wonderful. And I am sure you have many beautiful cards to work with. I would have trouble getting rid of them too. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

[@ronatheartist]

You are doing a great job using your stash. It's really motivating me to do the same. So thank you. I love your stories. They're so cute and funny.

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thank you Rona :-) I'm so glad you feel motivated. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

[@CraftyBeginnings]

Thanks for sharing, love this idea. I never even thought to save those to use.

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thanks Michelle :-) I'm glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching. :-)

[@Paintwritelive]

also the dress form is ...wow! it makes me very happy🤗!

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thanks again Sherri :-)

[@lyninraleigh1389]

LOL, Bailee talking. We do that ALL THE TIME with our purr baby & he says some very funny things too. Love you junking your stuff.

[@BlackbearyForest]

Oh Lyn....if only you could hear the conversations we have with Baylee and what her part of the conversation is. It's hilarious. lol Thanks so much and thank you for watching. I appreciate it. :-)

[@skidzthehuman9998]

Love the idea 💡 probably I will use this to put inside a hand made album with pockets and attached pictures to the tags

[@BlackbearyForest]

Sounds great! Thank you for watching. Happy New Year :-)

[@raynashone1499]

Thank you so much for the tutorial. I am new to junk journaling & you made it look so easy to make tags. Now I just have to find stickers etc to decorate with.

[@BlackbearyForest]

Hi Rayna. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. The key to making it look easy is just going for it knowing you can change it at any time. :-) You can use magazine images, computer images from places that offer free images, junk mail, all kinds of things. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

[@donnatolle1419]

Wonderful ideas. I soooo need to do this with my own overrun supplies

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thanks Donna. :-) I'm on a mission. lol Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

[@deniseview4253]

Now I know what to do with the cards I save every year! thanks for a great idea!! :)

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thanks Denise. Oh yes...you can use up your cards for awesome things. Make a journal from them, tags, use dies on them and make flowers....whatever your mind can think of. :-) Thank you for watching. I appreciate it. :-)

[@lindalawson6406]

Thanks for the inspiration of Tags From Packaging. Can't wait to get into my Stuff! I am impressed at how everything goes together.

[@BlackbearyForest]

Hi Linda :-) You are so welcome and I'm glad you are inspired to use up some of your stuff. :-) Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

[@waukonstandard]

These are lovely!! My favorite is the Perfection with 2 blue flowers and one pink. That one just looks so delicate and beautiful.

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thanks so much. Thank you for watching. I appreciate it. :-)

[@micskraftykorner9234]

Beautiful tags. I'm always looking at reusing packaging. Thanks for sharing.

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thanks so much Michelle :-) Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

[@krislair8019]

What an inspiration this is. I have been saving "packaging" for a long time knowing I was going to need it someday and this is perfect. Tyfs

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thanks so much Kris. I hope you make some awesome tags with your packaging. :-) Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

[@peggydid]

Cool. What a wonderful class.

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thanks Peggy :-) Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

[@carolpearce7755]

Great ideas for packaging tags. Love your video. All the tags I've bought over the years and I could have been recycling and making my own tags. Ok - on a Christmas - recycling tag making marathon. lol

[@BlackbearyForest]

lol Oh boy....marathon here you come. lol Have fun!!! Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

[@lorettathefrugalscrapbooke2992]

Nice tags! Good job! One way of using scraps!👌😀

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thanks so much Loretta :-)

[@tinar3045]

OMG I think you have been in my scrap room. I have so much of the same products that I need to use up too.

[@BlackbearyForest]

lol It wasn't me...I promise. lol Time to use it up right? :-) Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

[@tanyadragon1404]

Hello Laurie! Love your junk your stuff videos!! Great tags and loved the challenge of counting the word packaging! It took me a couple days to watch the whole video so I have lost track after about 6.... Ah well, waiting patiently for part two!!

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thanks so much Tanya. :-) lol I lost count of how many times I said it too. I need to go back and figure it out. lol Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

[@wease4824]

New subbie. Where have you been all my life. I stress so much over tags, everything has to be coordinated,,, Thank you for showing ME that it doesn't have to be that way.

[@BlackbearyForest]

Hi there. :-) Welcome to my channel. Thank you for subscribing. I'm so glad you are finding your way to a more stress free way of creating. Thanks so much for watching. Have fun creating. :-)

[@DonnaHarris3578]

I love your ideas for using up stuff!

[@BlackbearyForest]

Hi Donna. How are you doing? It's nice to "see" you. Thank you, I'm so glad. Thank you for watching.

[@sueturcotte811]

You had me at 'packaging.' I am now a subscriber. New to crafting and tag-making looks like a good start. Thank you for this tutorial. And thank you for having me bust out laughing here at o'dark-thirty in the morning.

[@BlackbearyForest]

Hi Sue. Thanks so much for subscribing and I'm so glad you had a good laugh. :-) Tag making is really fun and a great way to start if you are new. I hope you have a great time making some. :-) Thank you for watching.

[@loststamper]

Love your video and tags, and what you are doing with this series of using your stash. very inspiring! And i love that you talk thru the video instead of setting it to music that is always so much louder than the voices. Thank you for your time!

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thank you. :-) I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. I appreciate your comment and thank you for watching. :-)

[@lottiefaith6935]

It's like the never ending story, huh? You finish stuff, gain packaging, make more stuff, get more packaging! : ) I've been trying to junk my stuff and to me it's very hard to slap things together. I'm working on it but like you said it's hard to get behind something and get excited when it's not something you really like. You are doing great, with the biking too! I'm impressed.

[@BlackbearyForest]

Oh boy Lottie....so true...never, ever ending. lol Exactly....I have stuff that I haven't used for a reason. I waited so long to use it I'm not thrilled about it anymore. I am feeling more excited about some old stuff now though because I see it can be used and at least be halfway cute. lol And thank you on the biking. :-) Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

[@LUVJONZ99]

Thanks for sharing...make me look at my collection of item in a new way. Started tag and paper bag journal this week.

[@BlackbearyForest]

Awesome!! :-)

[@sherryvoorhees3416]

Great use of packaging!

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thanks Sherry :-)

[@deborahdettor1694]

I LOVE these tags and this idea!!! They're fabulous! Super way to use up your stash. Thanks for sharing ~ 😃🔆

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thanks so much Deborah :-) And thank you for watching and leaving a note. I appreciate it. :-)

[@LynneWilliams101]

Loads of great ideas shared Lori! I counted 28 packaging references, but think there was a lot more as I got caught up in the ideas and probably stopped listening for the word. Absolutely loved the Thomas Crown example - fast as a Cheetah and big like a small cow. lol hugs xxx

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thanks Lynne :-) And thanks for counting. lol And Baylee has quite a sense of humor. lol Thank you for watching and I appreciate the comment. :-)

[@ellabella2603]

Really great ideas. I'm starting to collect the packaging. You are not helping me beat my hoarding tendencies! LOL! I was good at throwing away stuff like packaging, now I have a use for it! Sigh. :)

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thanks Ella. :-) Oh gosh...I'm so sorry about the hoarding thing. lol Just don't keep ALL of it. Keep enough to create with then start saving again. If you start keeping everything it will overwhelm you and we'll have to come dig you out. lol Thank you for watching and I appreciate the comment. :-)

[@joyceleathers1720]

Great recycle video Laurie!!

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thanks so much. :-) Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

[@Maggiesplace48]

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thanks Adrine :-) Nope...we sure don't. :-) Thank you for watching and leaving a note. I appreciate it. :-)

[@lovewisdomgrace]

I enjoyed your video so much! What a great way to use all that packaging we collect. (I counted 26 times). Your ideas for your tags have inspired me to turn mine into book marks. I can take them down to my local library as a little giveaway during National Library Week.

[@BlackbearyForest]

Uh oh....you didn't sign your name and I know it's not Grace but I can't remember what it is...I am so sorry. I need to see it a bunch of times to remember it. Forgive me. I'm so glad you enjoyed it and that's a wonderful thing to do for your library. :-) Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

[@MistyRaymond]

Those came out great!! I kinda kick myself for throwing away packaging and not repurposing it when I see you make these tags. I love them!!!

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thank you Misty. Don't kick yourself. There is more packaging to be had I am sure. lol You can use food packaging too if you use anything that comes in a box. I appreciate your comment and thank you for watching. :-)

[@sharonraines519]

Wow these are very kool 😊 love them! Thankyou

[@BlackbearyForest]

[@marycanary6604]

[@mynotecards2513]

I made a couple of tags while i watched your video and LOL too because we also have been trying to catch a mouse. I think he went on vacation and will return in the winter. TFS

[@BlackbearyForest]

Oh cool...I'm so glad you made tags while watching. :-) lol....I'm so glad I'm not alone in the mouse hunt. lol Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

[@ruthmchaney4366]

Hi Laurie! This is the first time I've heard about "Junk Your Stuff"! It's no mistake that I ran across your video which gave me a big "Aah Hah" moment! Now I have a great idea on how to use up all of those beautiful little pieces of happiness I've been hoarding. Your video was a smash with me! You have inspired me to get happy and to just DO IT! Thanks, Ruth

[@BlackbearyForest]

Hi Ruth :-) I just started the "Junk Your Stuff" series about a month ago I guess. I am so glad you enjoyed the video and feel inspired to just do it!!! Yay!!! Thanks so much for your sweet comment and thank you for watching. I appreciate it. :-)

[@sharonharris2515]

What a great idea I ha Vet a TON of junk to use

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thanks Sharon. Me too...so there's gonna be a lot of tags. lol Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

[@ruthrios6874]

Love your work.Very nice.. I wanna see more..

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thanks so much Ruth. :-) Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

[@elvisisabigsweetie]

I'm thinking you may need to say the word "packaging" just a few more times, just not enough for me! Haha! From beginning to end, such an enjoyable video! These tags are super fantastic, hard to believe made from packaging! Omg, you've started an epidemic designing process! Love it! And don't be surprised to "hear" Thomas Crown is back! Seems like a good scapegoat your hubby is having fun with Baylee, very mischievous! Love the stories your husband has conjured up! Enjoy every moment! Hugs, Debra

[@BlackbearyForest]

lol Debra....too funny. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and like the tags. :-) Well, TC did make another appearance. If he's ever gone for good I am sure the stories will continue on. lol Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

Laurie, you are so talented, I love how you just go for it, I wish I was more like that. Beautiful tags. My granddaughter and I have spent hours of time in our junk bags. She is just amazing me with color, material, ribbon etc. At 5 years I am loving her fun, not worrying about being perfect. Thank you so much, for the idea, now we will do tags. Love Roxy

[@BlackbearyForest]

Hi Roxy. I wasn't always that way. I think desperation drove me to it. lol I think you learn with time to play more. :-) I'm so glad to hear you are having fun with your granddaughter...that is so special!!! We all need to create like a 5 year old sometimes. They have so much fun. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

[@melonyloman1568]

Hi Laurie, was watching you early in the morningmake the tags out of Packaging. Iost count at about 28 LoL. I Love how they came out so cute. Enjoyed the story about Thomas Crown. I heard some snoring checked to see if it was my husband then laughed when I realized it was Baylee. I always enjoy watching you create and junk you stuff. Will try making the tags for sure.😊

[@BlackbearyForest]

lol Thanks for trying to count...I lost track too...I know I said it a lot. How could I not? lol I'm glad you enjoyed it. Oh yes....Baylee snores in most videos. :-) Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

[@memees2010]

:) Love what you did so much and you have a good sense of color

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thank you Manal. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

[@peniandrews165]

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thank you Peni. I'm glad you liked the video. :-)

[@judycarol52]

Good info-I would glue down the printed side and use the white side on back for journaling because that’s how I would be using them😊thanks for sharing...

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thanks Judy :-)

[@KimmyKim31]

I just love your tags! It had me digging through my trash to get my tags from Hobby Lobby today. LOL

[@BlackbearyForest]

lol How funny. I hope none of them landed in spaghetti sauce or anything before you got to them. lol Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

[@solnarvaez8667]

l love the way they came out there beautiful.

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thank you Sol. I appreciate your kind words. :-)

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thank you Lucia. :-) Oh yes...clothing tags are great. I have a bag to use up at some point. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

[@tonisuewasher181]

Hi, Laurie! New subscriber here! I just love this idea! This is a great way to get rid of things you don't like or just need to clear out! I have a lot of items to use! I can't wait to get started! You have given me so many ideas! Thanks for sharing your wonderful creations! Take care! Your friend from Fort Worth, Texas.

[@monjay6660]

Just the video I've been searching for. Thanks!!

[@BlackbearyForest]

Great. :-) Thank you for watching. :-)

[@mayratello2694]

lovely packaging tags. love how easy and simple you made the tags.

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thanks so much Mayra :-) Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

[@sylisawilson6536]

How would I go about getting a pattern of your tags? Not sure I'm talented enough to cut them out free handed but would love to make them myself!!!!

[@BlackbearyForest]

Hi Sylisa. I'm so sorry but I don't have patterns for my tags. Most of them are cut free hand and there are so many sizes. None of them are perfect either. I did take a shipping manilla tag for other tags I made and used it as a template to trace around so if you have one of those you can use it. Also, there are many free patterns for tags you can print from the internet. Just Google "free tags to print". Here is a link to one site I found for you. I hope this helps. I know you can do this. Just try and the more you do it the easier it gets. :-) www.thespruce.com/six-free-gift-tag-templates-2906137?

[@michellebourque8925]

I just found you! I love this tutorial......You have a super way of making these tags and you make it look fun! I hope you are still making videos! Thank you for sharing!

[@BlackbearyForest]

Hi Michelle :-) I'm so glad you found me and joined me, I appreciate it. I have not made a video in a while because I have had other things going on but I do plan to continue them. :-)

[@annalba]

I Love you to the Moon & Back, I love your thought process you make it so simple & easy, I love the packaging tags who am I kidding I love them all, Love the Thomas Crown Story, Tell Bailey I believe her It was Thomas that made the Mess.... Naughty mouse. Have a good one

[@BlackbearyForest]

Awww, thank you Ann. So very kind of you. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Oh, Thomas Crown and Baylee share many stories. lol I will tell her you believe her. lol Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

[@Uberfanboy52]

Great ideas!

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thank you. :-) Thank you for watching, :-)

[@LisaBrannan]

Lovely tags Laurie! I love using up stuff! You're such an inspiration ! :)

[@BlackbearyForest]

Hey Lisa :-) Thanks so much. I'm glad you like them. I've got quite a few to make. lol Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

[@51andhappy44]

I adore the direction the take flight tag went! Tho I liked the washi pattern, I wasn't crazy about the original look before you gesso'd. Once you started altering your altered tag, my creative juices started flowing. I'm fairly new to mixed media, but really really want to learn. This video sure helped that growth. I was imagining what I could do with a few of the tags that you said and stenciling came to mind. As well as decoupage with scraps. Thank you for this!

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thanks so much. I wasn't crazy about the look of the tag either. lol I thought it might be a good idea to go further with it showing how it can transform. And I kept it basic...you can really go as far as you want. Oh yes...it's amazing what you can do with scraps. One of my favorite things to do is create pages with scraps. I have a playlist called "All Because Of Scraps". I'm glad you felt inspired and I was able to help in a small way. Thank you for watching. I appreciate it. :-)

[@karlarush1745]

Cute ideas!

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thanks Karla :-)

[@KLThames]

Laurie, I really enjoyed your video, and I am glad to subscribe! I have so much stuff that I've hoarded that I am inspired to junk.

[@BlackbearyForest]

Hi Katheryn :-) Welcome to my channel and thank you so much for subscribing. I appreciate it. :-) Yay!!!! Inspired to junk...that's awesome! Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

[@BraveblueRaven]

Nice tale about your hubby and Baylee telling stories. I have not heard of Thomas Crown before ... funny that you named the mouse that. You are doing really well with the bike riding - keep up the good work! Yes I think you have said the vword "packaging" enough Laurie. Lol :D Wow your tags turned out so pretty! I have been planning to make Tags with packaging for a while now so thanks for the ideas and inspiration. I enjoyed this video very much and look foward to Part Two. Tfs Big hugs, Ginny xo :o)

[@BlackbearyForest]

Hi Ginny :-) Oh, The Thomas Crown Affair is a great movie. Thanks...I'm trying to be consistent on my bike. Thanks so much Ginny. I'm glad you like them. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

[@ritamontgomery6008]

Your tags turned out great. I counted the word "packaging" 27 times. You had variations of the word that I didn't count. Looking forward to part 2. ~~rita

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thanks Rita. And thanks for counting too. lol Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

[@barbaraamaxie]

INSPIRING!!! I just discovered flow/flowish? journals and I have a whole room full of "stuff" that I need to use! I dont keep packaging (lol @ your using the word so much! )But I have a LOT of scrap cardstock! hmmm, I see some cool tags using up some stuff in my future! Thanks for the ideas! Have subscribed and look forward to more inspiration! Thanks!

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thanks Vani. I hope you make yours soon and have just as much fun as I did. :-) Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

No way can I count how many times you said, "packaging." I am too busy eyeing everything. I am going to definitely make some card tags and I really like the ribbons attached on the side instead of the top. Going to have to make some myself. And my dog, Chessie, is always mooching off of me, giving me this serious stare, begging for my food. Oh, and my dog has caught two roof rats and a mouse in the last few months. I have started calling her my mouser!

Hi Angela :-) lol...the serious stare....that's so cute. Baylee wouldn't catch a mouse if you promised her a bag of dog food. lol Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

Hi. Love how you made the tags.. I counted you saying packaging 29 times and package 3 times .lol. thank you for sharing the story about your hubby and thomas crown made me giggle. Thomas crown movie is one of my favourites too especially starring peirce brosan .b

Thanks Michelle :-) Thanks for counting too. lol Wasn't that a great movie. I wish they made good movies like that more often. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)

Hi , really enjoyed this video. I've never seen the ribbon on the side. Nice touch. Just subbed today so I'm binge watching to catch up. I'm a newbie and I learned a lot from you today, so thank you so much.

[@BlackbearyForest]

Awesome! I'm so glad you are enjoying the videos. Thank you!

Very creative 👏😍

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thank you Aida :-)

THIS IS AN AMAZING IDEA! Maybe i just found my new hobby. You know you can sell these as unique gift tags. People will buy them! 75c for skall 1.25 or 1,50 for the larger ones seems fair. Making money from scraps! THANKS FOR THE IDEA!

[@BlackbearyForest]

Thanks so much. I'm glad you like them. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. :-)
