Come watch me experiment with making "glassine" napkins! I was inspired by Nik the Booksmith's video in which she makes "glassine" with paper: tinyurl.com/y34bygc

What a terrific idea. As you mentioned, the texture and “noise” are an added bonus. I love paper that satisfies my tactile and hearing senses. Btw, I often use essential oils to add “smell” to my journals, so you have sight, sound, touch and smell…!!!!

[@LollyPalooza]

awesome!

[@averyroseshow1015]

I thought it was only me lol

[@CraftsandMorewithDonnaJackson]

This is an awesome idea. I've made them using baby oil but it's a huge mess. I've got tons of napkins. Tfs. Oh a little tip. When you're mod podging, if you will tear a piece of plastic wrap and ball it up, it makes the perfect tool for smoothing your project and doesn't stick or tear. 😉

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you for the tip.

[@noradunlap7539]

Thank you for the tip Donna!❤️

[@cindyhenry1410]

Crafts and More with Donna Jackson or use an old gift/credit card straight edge to smooth out the bubbles

[@estherpowell2372]

Thanks to Nik I am spraying anything paper! To deal with the blowing around problem, I lay my paper on cardboard and use straight pins in the corners.

[@LollyPalooza]

Good idea about the pins. I actually had put my freezer paper on cardboard, so that would work.

[@BlaizC]

@@LollyPalooza You could also tack the napkin to the freezer paper with an iron. It will peel right off. I have one of those irons that have a small triangular head which will work great.

[@JudyPsInMyMindsEyeMixedMedia]

Great idea!

[@sophiemsmply4you572]

This is fantastic! I too am very tactile and one of the reasons I love papercraft is the feel and the noise. I love love love it. The journal turned out beautiful! Natasha from Treasure Books led me to you and so glad she did! Love your channel. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@LollyPalooza]

Wonderful! Natasha is a wonderful, creative lady!

[@kkossor]

That was so clever! From a Glassine Napkin to a finished journal in less than 30 minutes! So very pretty and the embezzlement’s were a stroke of genius. Thank you for sharing this idea.

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you. So very kind of you!

[@-Shel-]

I just ran across this and wanted to say thank you! I am new to decorating my journals and I love this idea so much. ❤😊

[@LollyPalooza]

great! Glad you found this video! :)

[@juliherron8991]

Your are a great teacher, love your journal and the excellent tips. Looking forward to having more time with you. 😀

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you so much!

[@LifeDIYJosie]

This is such an amazing idea! The napkins look almost like vellum paper! I'm definitely going to give it a try on my TNs! TFS, hugs~ Josie :)

[@LollyPalooza]

fantastic :)

[@dixiehuenink2533]

The first video of yours I've watched! Love it. I have lots of napkins in my stash and now have another way to use them. Looking forward to watching more of your informative videos. Thank you for sharing you crafty knowledge.

Thank you so much for the experiment and sharing! The flower is brilliant, love this!

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you so much!

[@1960Connie]

Love how you created the flower! Amazing how you can take so few things and create beautiful pieces. 😍

[@LollyPalooza]

and to use the napkin sraps as embellishments. I think these pieces will be fun to play with

[@asiap3296]

I just found your page and I'm already obsessed. Thank you for sharing your talent ❤❤❤

[@LollyPalooza]

Welcome!! Thanks for watching!

[@sherylhardy3059]

Love this! I watched Nik the booksmith's video the other day, it was wonderful! I just love how one person has this really cool idea and other crafters just run with it and light bulbs are going on all over the place! TFS! Ps very cute napkins!

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you! Yes, she had a great idea, and I had what I call "lots of crafty thinks" after her video

[@artzyyma]

The sound and clarity of the sprayed napkin almost reminds me of sewing pattern paper. I love it. This is a must try! Great take on Nik's DIY Glassine!

[@LollyPalooza]

sewing patterns are great for spraying, too!

[@annemillion1501]

What a fun project! The flowers are just too cute!

I love your Paris napkins!!! Such a fun idea!!

[@LollyPalooza]

it's a super pretty one. That shop had several Paris ones. My friend and I each bought a pack and then shared half of each

[@kimp2678]

Thank you for sharing this technique. I have a ton of napkins. I watch Nik's video on making glassine paper and never even thought about making glassine napkins. I love the flower idea too.

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you. Someone suggested alternating paper flower punch outs with napkin flower punch outs.

[@LILRHONDALEE]

Hi Lolly! I had fun crafting along decoupaging napkins! TFS xo

[@LollyPalooza]

fantastic!

[@lauraclaiborne7477]

What a great idea! I'm going to try it. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@LollyPalooza]

When I made the video, I loved the end product but wasn't sure I'd do it again. Now I find myself wanting to start over, so I guess that means it's a keeper!

[@harrylapindesigns2921]

I love this! Ordering napkins and already purchased the Rustoleum spray! I can't wait to make these and add them to my journal. They are gorgeous!! Thank you, Lolly!!

[@LollyPalooza]

fun! Glad you enjoyed

[@louisedesantis3039]

Dear Lolly, I can’t thank you enough for your advice to razor off with a ruler and craft knife the uneven excess of the interior journal pages. I’ve made two JJs; each time it was crazy-making, trying to cut off excess with my trimmer, first the right side of one page, then the left, until everything fit inside the cover, but nearly as unevenly as when I started. Also, I too watched Nik’s Video, now yours, and am ready to go outside with my giant piece of cardboard, ,my spray shield, and start spraying some napkins. In addition, you might find excellent pointers on decoupage through Patti Elhoff’s tutorials. She’s done nothing but decoupage for like decades. For instance, always spread the decoupage glue from the center out. Patio elf. Upcycle with Decoupage. I’m so glad to now be a steady viewer of yours!

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you for the tips! :)

[@noradunlap7539]

Love this tutorial! TFS!! 😊

[@LollyPalooza]

thanks so much!

[@Valeri4561]

Also, you could do what I do. When I find a napkin I like and want to do the technique with the pattern on the napkins. I scan the napkins with my scanner, then I can print it on a heavier paper such as vellum, tracing paper, etc. :)

[@LollyPalooza]

I have scanned old documents, too, so I could reuse often. Thanks for sharing

[@DonnaJo3452]

Beautiful journal - thanks for the tips! I like the "crinky" sound too. And I love the cracking sound when die cutting too. lol

[@LollyPalooza]

it adds such interest to projects!

Ha! Glad someone else thought the same thing as I had posted, nice to see someone trying it. Love those black and white napkins

you posted about it? Thanks for watching

@@LollyPalooza yeah, but then for most of us paper addicts, watching nik will have sparked similar trains of thoughts, so inspiring. Really liking the crackle of the one ply, you're a bad influence too, just bought more napkins to do this XD

[@ValscreationsStudio]

I really like the way Modpodge feels. I always mod podge all my covers because it gives that layer of protection. Thank you so much for sharing this. I will have to try spraying my napkins.
