Making Clusters in a Genius New Way!

Inspired by my pal, Rachel at Roxy Creations, I wanted to try creating clusters in a new way she's discovered. I love it! A lot easier than one by one and a great way to use up scraps! Thanks for crafting with me today!

Woow Cherie! Gracias Chica, Good Idea! I'm very relax... 🎶

[@beverlyjohnson9413]

Good morning! Watching this challenge helps me when I have some struggles with mine!

[@hudsonsailor54]

Wonderful way to make multiple clusters. Thanks for sharing.

[@pennymeyer3416]

That IS genius & so are you...❤💚💜 !!!

[@daphnemayjoyce8378]

I just love them Gayle as I love scabby cheek.x🌸🐥🤗

[@beautifulthornbirds]

So adorable and precious. My Vet breeds these beautiful dogs. She brings her two to the office each day and its so nice to see them.

[@darlenerhinehart1857]

Those are exquisite. I looooove them. When I begin my work, I turn on your videos. You help keep me motivated doing the work I do and you also encourage me to do my best work. Thank you

[@GwendolynsDabbledoosies]

I am glad to see you do something someone else did. There are too many wonderful crafters on here and I can’t follow everyone. So yay for cross craftery, and a huge shout out to everyone inspiring others! Thank you! You could tear off the edges of the background layer before you stick anything down. Think that might be easier still 😄 Have a good day Gayle! ❤️

[@roosmarie1961]

thats a great way to do clusters. thanks for sharing Gayle

[@kittydurmaj6159]

Wonderful idea.....always a fun time with you.....video idea.....Jimmy Joe visiting your craft room😄

[@ritakoopman3821]

Dusting once a year sounds good to me 👍💕

[@SuzieQScraps]

I realize this video was 3 years ago, but I still laughed! Our Esteban used to eat his beds, too! Now he’s almost 23 months and not so much. But he still has one that has duct tape on it, LOL!

[@cynthiahowell2381]

They all turned out fabulous

[@roden70]

Very nice clusters Gayle. I saw Rachel too and it's funny but all of you have your own distinctive style of making projects. Rachel always gravitates to the neutrals, Tina always blings everything up and you usually go for brights.

[@whitneibarker3112]

You are so talented! You have such a natural eye for piecing the patterns and textures together! But what I really wanted to say is *THANK YOU* for the comment about "just doing it" !!! I get so nervous about making a mistake or wasting resources that I get frozen and can't create! This is a great way to push past that 'artist's block' 😍😍😍 thank you!

[@andreagriffioen73]

Looks fun, nice way to use your scraps

[@JannyHaak]

Fun video, thanks for sharing Gayle! 💕

[@mackinacdog]

Thanks that is a GREAT idea, to do them in clusters for specific papers will be so helpful and much faster. Tfs. They look great and pretty.

[@tashabowley8549]

Watching from Australia, you inspired me to get art journalling. I was only making cards but after watching you a few weeks ago I did a craft supplies haul before we went into isolation. I love your work! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@danacolosimo5874]

👍 thank you for sharing 😘❤️😘🥰

[@elainet5870]

Fun to watch your take on this technique!

[@JamieLOVEUMOREJOURNALS]

Can’t wait to try it this way

[@chlonh]

I love your crafts and love love love your laugh/cheer

[@glynismccartneyintricatesc5281]

Can’t wait to try this!

[@Solo3198-]

Love! These are so very cute!

[@loisfinch1569]

You crack me up! Blew the pressure foot off! I love laughing with you! You are a bright spot in my day! I watch your videos over and over just to listen to you and I keep yout sage advice in my head. I pray your family stays safe throuh these trying times. Love from PA

[@josievanotterlo5191]

I do not sew but your tutorials are always faux sewing friendly and completely applicable to paper. Love this idea.

[@Sheree-aka-SherryLynn]

Gosh I just love this!!!

[@COUNTRYGIRLSSCRAPPINLYNN]

Love this way of doing clusters. Thanks for sharing Rachel and Gayle. 😊

[@lindadeconcini3678]

My little Yorkypoo ( Half Yorkshire Terrier and half toy poodle was allergic to 31 different things. From grass to most food. So I learned to give her two shots a week. She got lamb and rice dog food. And her treats were French fries. She lived for nineteen years. She was after two St. Bernard. Now we have a beagle. Love you snippet new way sheet.

[@shirleykathan-sayess5764]

I love this idea! They could be stored on the sheet as well! Thank you, Gayle! ❤ Shirley

[@claudiafortimelesscrochet4u]

WE had snow this morning in Boston which is very unusual! It is very hard to loose a pet for sure, i lost my 18yo cat (Baby) last year and I still think of him everyday; it is heart breaking. He was like a son to me, he grew up with my boys. On another note, I love the new way of making these cute clusters, totally Genius! my friend!

[@robinsismai9085]

so many great ideas today. thank you for sharing!!

[@travelingmntngal7963]

Hi Gayle, this looks fun today. Your comment about dusting really gave me a good chuckle. Since I had no sister growing up in a very traditional family, I was given the privilege chore of dusting. Every day after school, because my mother worked as well as my dad, I was required to do morning dishes and then, a few days a week, dusting. Dusting was the first chore I ever had, starting at 6. I'm thinking in those days, most girls probably started early in life with these types of chores. Just the way it was. It was fun when I first did it, but now that I'm soon to be 60, I'm with you, I'd rather be crafting. LOL. So good to know others feel the same as I do on that. Wow, all those clusters in about an hour! And so lovely, too. Awesome! 💕 Gonna go and try this out. Hope your Saturday is going well. God bless! Sue

[@cheryltallafuss1886]

You are truly amazing. Thank you for sharing your my Joy

[@lisawarner7991]

I love watching you think out loud as you create! You have some great scraps!!

[@lisasexton7997]

Love Love Love

[@dianesample1221]

They turned out pretty🌷

[@charlottevanstraten339]

*giggling as my head bobs up and down in agreement* you are not the only one who laughs at self! Silly are we!🙈🙉🙊I listen so intently and answer you as you ask. Ya to all your suggestions! Buttons, hearts and mushrooms! For decorations. That's my 2cents for the day lol😽

[@nancivessells1909]

That was fun & great ideas.

[@sandrasimard1808]

I just love them

[@sbowenful]

i love them all ! I'm making some! Wonderful idea!

[@crafterdeidra]

I really loved how each paper cluster turned out. Great video as always. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

Your clusters are really pretty. I love the pink ones. What an ingenious way to make and sew them.

[@willareeneacealbertini975]

I love these! I visited the Etsy shops and purchased a few things. I can’t wait to try this and the other video I watched, of folded glue pages of collages. I’m organizing all my digital downloads. So I can grab them and start gluing. I make my own envelopes and made pretty ones with the fussy cuts of each type in them paper clipped with 1 of those items. Lined them up and they didn’t take up a lot of space. Made me super happy to get them organized. You inspire me all the time. Thanks for all your videos.

[@andreamaiorana8490]

Such fun!❤️

[@cariadcrafts]

Fabulous!!!!! xxx

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

Such a quick method 😄

[@lalagamma4452]

Love Mass Making!! This is one of the things I've always thought was really cool that you do. Make ahead and have it ready. I love it!!.🐇🧡🐰🍄💛🐌💚🦋

[@StellasScrappyCrafts]

Beautiful and colourful. going to try this method today x

[@kathrynhelm4176]

What an idea! Loved it and will definitely do it myself. But, my best laugh of the day...”well, Jimmy Joe actually eats his bed” 🤣😂🤣😂 great video Gayle!

[@mkaysartfuljourney1239]

It's always a good idea to copy your collaged work before tearing, because that is a totally rad book page!!❤️💯✨

[@MrsGigi]

Wow fun and quick way to do many clusters at once. Love it!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@angelathoma-dogwoodpaperarts]

This is really a great way to make the clusters. I sure love how they all turned out. Each one so unique.

[@annettedepete4314]

I love this way of making clusters. I think it is awesome. Thanks for sharing 😍🌴

[@sandraadamson4944]

Hi Gayle, I watched this on my TV last night and thought what a great idea. I've got paper and scraps to try it out. Like you, it's been a long time since I did any embroidery, but I'm sure I will find something to decorate. Thank you for all your Insparations.

[@beverlykunka8896]

Hi Gayle,hubby,,and jimmy joe,,,hope you all are well,,love your bits of papers,,great idea,I took a bunch of scraps,and joined book papers like you showed us,,makes for easy pockets,and jurnol cards,,,Tks for sharing ,take care,,hugs,🇵🇪❤️🍷💐

[@wendyjackson5976]

Looks really good Gayle.....it would be good on book pages as the base too I think 🤔

[@mycraftynook5266]

this such a great idea..:) so cute..thanks for sharing :)

[@LynsAlteredArts]

When I saw Rachel‘s video I made some of these. I think I made eight and I only like one. You always say don’t overthink, but I failed to think enough. I think I have too many layers and maybe if I add sewing or a button or something will help. Or, they’re scraps, they could go in the recycle can.

[@kristinaclark9162]

Love this!!

[@roseanndeighan5872]

Cool and shabby 💞😍

[@patbrez3079]

Such a great idea and it’s like doing a master board. With the blank pieces of paper you could stamp on them or stencil...adding this idea to my to do list..I’m behind in watching videos, working on some journals and spring cleaning...best time to do it since we’re all on lockdown..stay well and be safe. 👍🌸🌸🌸

[@jaynewood6714]

Thanks for sharing . I will try this technique!

[@laurettechandlerthevintage3022]

Your snippets are so lovely! I adore them! I saw Rachel’s video too and thought they were genius but I love your idea to cut them before sewing … so much easier for me to manage! Now I really have to try these! Great job! You always inspire me to try new things with my own little spin on it! Wishing you many blessings and big hugs! 🤗🤗🤗

[@anneglenn2995]

I'm very excited. Today I received notification that my order for Jane's Memoirs has shipped. Your friend's papers are exquisite.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

They sure are!! Very excited for this collection! ❤️

[@carolm4094]

Fun!

[@miyukineal5789]

Hi Gayle. I just love to watching you and learning more ideas 💡 from your wonderful video. And watching your videos makes me laugh, you’re so funny 😂 you make my day!Im really appreciate your work.

[@KLThames]

Brilliant!

[@robinpowell2712]

Genius and pretty! I was always unsure on making clusters, but now... Thank you Gayle!

[@ajsinspiredlife665]

What fun! Thanks for sharing! Need to try this!

[@freidagepner2370]

Love these. Such a great idea. I was up before my husband and having a cup of coffee and watching this video. When he came down stairs you were sewing the clusters. He was like. That sounds like a model A trying to start. Are you watching a car video. He was really surprised! And I looked at him and said no dear It’s Gayle sewing paper. He just shook his head mumbling sure sounds like a model A. Then he went and got his coffee. Don’t know. Had to be here to see how cute it all was!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Aw, give him a hug for me! I think I have a lot of husbands shaking their heads...including mine! Lol!! 😂❤️

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

Dusting once a year! Yes! Me too!✌️🇨🇦🙏❤️🐝🌸

[@lorigoodman3780]

You and Rachel rock!! I am sooo doing these!! Hugs!!

[@tatteredtreasuresbypattie6047]

I love this!! I need to give it a try!!

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

Yup! Gunna do clusters like this, so fun! Thank you.✌️🇨🇦🙏❤️🐝🌸

[@darleneboehm9666]

Great idea.

[@terrihinzman6254]

Those were so well put together. i tend to overthink mine, perhaps making a master sheet of them first might help that! Thanks

[@paulad2527]

I tried this after watching Rachel and it is so addicting! I loved sewing the entire page at once...it worked for wonky and straight. My husband thought I should just frame the entire page rather than cut them apart. Maybe, the next one. I love your colorful version! I bought both sets of Lorna’s wallpapers. They print so beautifully, even on the default settings of my printer. They are gorgeous and you receive so many! Now off to check out Mary’s shop...thanks, Gayle, for the wonderful videos and for introducing so many wonderful shops! Yeesh....I’ve never typed such a long comment...too much coffee this morning 😆☕️

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]
