I like to put a couple of sheets of A4 copier paper in with the napkin, then it only laminates one side. Trim off the edges and peel the pieces apart - lovely effect😊

[@LollyPalooza]

I have done something similar with other laminating projects, but I find that sometimes it's not a permanent hold --- seems to depend on the paper quality.

[@harrylapindesigns2921]

Fantastic tutorial Lolly! Answered a lot of my questions and showed me exactly how to do what I wanted with my personal journal! Congratulations again on 30, 000 subscribers! ♥

[@LollyPalooza]

many thanks, dear one!

[@breemom8422]

Love this idea! Never thought of laminating napkins or tissue paper. Now I need to go get some napkins. Thanks for sharing!

[@LollyPalooza]

great! Have fun

[@1tinac]

I am always happy to find uses for all the decorative napkins. I have this trait that when ever we go somewhere that have these really beautiful napkin I always save on . This is a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

[@LollyPalooza]

I think it would be beautiful to have a 3 ring binder filled with laminated napkins from our experiences

[@shelleywitt5056]

The book marker idea is a great for a child's Valentine's party at school who cannot bring candy or treats and, it's better than the paper Valentine's.

[@LollyPalooza]

yes! And we can personalize with a piece of paper before we laminate -- put the date, occasion, whatever

[@carried9130]

Loved this, thank you for sharing!! It opens up so many cool ideas I never thought of before for gifts or journaling.

[@LollyPalooza]

great! Love to get the ideas going

[@irenemoreaux4446]

What a great idea. You're excellent at teaching. Thank you.

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you very much!

[@billienuhfer447]

What a clever idea for a bookmark!! Thank you for sharing.

[@LollyPalooza]

thanks for watching

[@Mrs.KatsCrafting]

Brilliant !! I have so many napkins and will never use them all is what I was thinking but now I am going to laminate them and use them in journal making . Thank you so much for showing this.

[@LollyPalooza]

sounds great! :)

[@caseyg58]

What a great idea! Will be trying this for sure!

[@LollyPalooza]

sweet! Hope you have fun

[@DalainaRenee]

Great idea! I love your planner 💗

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you. I tend to go simple

[@jeretta1000]

I love these! Great idea! Thank you for sharing.

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you for watching

[@patriciadavis2066]

I never thought this was possible. Great thinking outside the box. The results are pretty! Thank you for this video.

[@LollyPalooza]

thanks so much :)

[@SueD.]

Love this idea. My kids threw a 40th anniversary party for my us and I think I would like to laminate the napkin . thanks for the tip on sandwiching the napkin between paper to cut.

[@LollyPalooza]

what a great treasure to have. Someone mentioned that she's been collecting napkins from every important event. Can you imagine a binder, and all the pages are laminated napkins?

[@douglasvilledarling2935]

Lolly Palooza great idea! I may start doing that

[@paulinewhite3273]

Really enjoyable to watch.....and learn, love pretty serviettes and laminating is so satisfying. Thank you.

[@LollyPalooza]

I will use this technique again --- I love the outcome

[@purplemoon8637]

Very nice! Who would have thought a napkin! Thank you for sharing!

[@LollyPalooza]

I know, right? So fun

[@rubytuesday5412]

Thanks Lolly. I love my laminater that I brought a couple of years ago. I've laminated everything that can be laminated and pretty much forced everyone I know to let me laminate their stuff! Now it's just tucked away doing nothing untill now! Thanks for the geat ideas. I'm very partial to tissue paper and napkins ( there's so many pretty and cool prints out there ) so now I know what I'll be doing with all the tisue paper that I keep buying purely because it's all so pretty! Thank you!

[@LollyPalooza]

sweet! Glad you found a new use. It's funny that you commented -- I was just writing in my journal this morning and admiring my laminated napkin bookmarker!

[@lifeworthy2959]

What a fabulous idea!

[@LollyPalooza]

bunches of thanks

[@lisacooper4136]

Thank you so much for sharing, I have so many beautiful napkins that I could not resist purchasing, and now I know what I can do with them.

[@LollyPalooza]

oooh, yes! Have fun!

[@jeannethomas6965]

OOh I just bought some beautiful napkins - so I will have a go at laminating them. Thank you so much.

[@LollyPalooza]

perfect! :)

[@SybilB]

Hi Lolly, excellent idea and wonderful video! Thank you for all the tips you shared, especially on how to work with the 1 ply napkin. 💕

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you! I really like the look and feel of this!

[@kathleenmacellis7253]

Oh , I LOVE this idea !

[@LollyPalooza]

thanks so much

[@douglasvilledarling2935]

Awesome. Thanks! That disney tissue is so pretty it makes me want to order something just for the tissue.

[@LollyPalooza]

ha! Yes, I hope you get the same tissue!

[@AngryCatCrafts]

What an ingenious idea, so simple!

[@LollyPalooza]

isn't it funny? So many of the greatest ideas were actually so simple. I'll look at a video and think that was so brilliant but also simple, and why didn't I think of it sooner? Usually what happens though is that I do my own video, and I do something very complicated, and a viewer tells me of an easier way. I slap my forehead. Duh! :) Hee hee

[@EileenHull]

Love it Lolly- very cool!

[@LollyPalooza]

Thanks so much!

[@TreeCraftOn]

Hi Lolly! Very nice projects! Thanks for taking the time to test out all the possibilities and share them with us! God bless you and yours, Tree

[@LollyPalooza]

you bet! Have a great day!

[@angelv527]

Love the idea of laminating napkins and tissue paper😍 a couple months ago I made bookmarks with cardstock and laminate for my daughters class auction on Fridays. They were a big hit!!! Tyfs 💖 awesome tutorial Lolly 😊

I'm new...now looking at all your previous videos, so much inspiration

[@LollyPalooza]

Yay! Thank you!

[@clombard7134]

I've seen laminating machines in the office supply store and didn't think of the multi-purpose uses for them. Lolly, you have given me inspiration! TFS.

[@LollyPalooza]

perfect!

[@donnatriffitt4463]

Fantastic idea Lolly.

[@LollyPalooza]

thanks so much

[@lindagiles1911]

Thank you for the great tips. I have napkins collected from special occasions and worried about preserving them or using them some way. If l use some in my planner they will be usable, interchangeable and l will have daily reminders of beautiful memories that the napkins represent. I love leaving bookmarks in library books when l return them so some off cuts will become bookmarks, for sure. I love the transparency of the napkins and the finished result from the lower profile eliminating that annoying bubble around the perimeter of the laminated paper. Thank you Lolly!

[@LollyPalooza]

nice! I'm glad you can preserve the special napkins! You could make a binder of all your napkin samples

[@iamwhatiam4075]

Love these! Great idea! :) Beautiful too! tyfs!

[@LollyPalooza]

thanks a bunch

[@robindudleyhowes]

So pretty! I was just going to get rid of my laminater! Thanks for sharing.

[@LollyPalooza]

nooo! Don't get rid of it! :)

[@susantanguy4398]

[@LollyPalooza]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@tuthillg]

Great tips! I just purchased a laminating machine at a garage sale and didn't know how to use it. Your video was very helpful! TFS the inspiration!

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you. Great find at the garage sale

[@annanufrio4468]

great idea love the book marks

[@LollyPalooza]

I just love your channel. Thanks for sharing

[@LollyPalooza]

[@ParadoxicalIntention]

These turned out lovely! I have some beautiful napkins I picked up at the dollar store as well as some small self-laminate sheets that I could use for my planner's dashboard. I was hoping to find one online, but this is a much cheaper alternative! Thank you for this tutorial!

[@LollyPalooza]

great! Glad you have napkins to play with

[@lbchristensen8732]

What a great idea, tfs.

[@LollyPalooza]

thanks so much

[@lindapullan6937]

Thank you for another great demo. When I apply sticky sheets or adhesive laminating sheets to napkins etc, I lay the napkin down and peel an inch of the backing paper from the sticky sheet. Then I slowly work my way down the napkin peeling the backing sheet off as I go making sure the adhesive sheet is applied smoothly with no air bubbles.

[@LollyPalooza]

Great tip! I've done that with paper but not napkins

[@CraftsandMorewithDonnaJackson]

Yay you can! Love this. I'm going to try them. Tfs

[@LollyPalooza]

I have a Hello Kitty napkin, but without all the layers, she's not too colorful. Still curious as to how it would look to laminate her

[@CraftsandMorewithDonnaJackson]

@@LollyPalooza Oh fun. Would love to see that too. Doing a Hello Kitty journal for my niece. I'd love to incorporate some napkins.

[@donnahunter3488]

I don't have a laminating machine but this is a great idea. Thank you for sharing!

[@LollyPalooza]

then use the self adhesive ones. They are great, too. Kind of like Contact paper but way better quality.

[@angelagilstrap4453]

Such a creative mind, definitely going too thumbs up this video. Ha! There shall be no scrapping anything beautiful or useable.

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you! So many possibilities!

oh lolly how cool the sticky pockets,,i cannot find them here,,, the ideas are soo good and clever

[@LollyPalooza]

These are similar: amzn.to/34CQc6x

[@sharonmills1013]

Thanks for this fun idea, and thanks for not putting background music on!! I have the Scotch brand laminator, and have the same issue you mentioned-I take a piece of card stock and put it behind the laminating sheet as it goes through the laminator to help keep everything in place (I just hold the card stock back so it doesn’t go through the laminator).

[@LollyPalooza]

oh, yes. So many times the background music is so loud that I can't hear the person speak. And I am still learning this new video editing software, and I can't get the music volume exactly where I want it anyway, so why bother. And a video that's 20 minutes -- way too long for background music

Ooodles of great info and ideas! I like your electric type laminator vs my crank style. Your organizer is beautiful and looks very functional!

[@LollyPalooza]

crank? I didn't know there was such a thing? Does it make you "cranky"? Hee hee. I had to ask.

[@allthumbs3792]

[@soccerjulie46]

Very cool!

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you. I think it would be so cool to make journal covers this way. Or to make a binder journal, and all the dividers were laminated napkins. One viewer has collected napkins from precious events in her life. How cool to be able to preserve them all? Maybe a binder and each "page" is a napkin treasure.

[@Designsbyizzi]

Thank you for sharing, i use Tim Holtz paper trimmer to trim the napkins it works great. :)
