Oh yes, lots of fun. Pam at the Paper Outpost showed us how to make paper leather using brown paper bags and creme rinse. I'll have to try it with hand lotion just to see if there's any difference. Hope you have a great day.🌞

[@Annienutberry1956]

This is gotta be the solution for those of us who won’t use their favourite papers but just get them out and stroke them, and then put them back! What a different technique, gotta give this a try! Thanks Gayle

[@lilithblackwater309]

I so do that!! It’s like an ocd problem for me 😂 I have beautiful origami paper I only have to get out, spread each piece side by side and look at the eye candy 😅 then carefully put them back lol 🎉😊

[@jaws842]

Thank you for showing us another way to make this paper. Such easier than I’ve seen on other channels.

[@mybrainymess]

Lol 😅😅😅 this was so much fun to watch!!! I’m so glad I inspired you to an obsession!!! I was laughing all through your video!! Thanks for the shout out!! Enjoy!!!

[@julie-annadams4914]

Cool hey

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Oh, it’s so fun, Ava! Thank YOU! Love experimenting with different types of paper! Thanks for sharing the technique!! ❤

[@willareeneacealbertini975]

Ava, great job 👍 l’m going to go nuts till l can try Momagami, btw, what does that mean 🤔😁 Gayle is so fun!

[@mybrainymess]

@@willareeneacealbertini975 means kneaded paper!

[@LynsAlteredArts]

Use that red one that wouldn’t tear well for Christmas I think it looks Christmasy, just use your paper cutter on it.

[@jangriffin6311]

Thank you for showing such an easy way to make momigami. It was perfect for the my slow stitching. Greetings from Tasmania, Australia

[@cmac2375]

Yes, the kindergarten students in our school, at Thanksgiving time, use a piece of brown paper bag and they squish it and squish it until it is like "leather", no lotion at all. They love doing it and decorate it with Native American symbols to tell a story.

[@InHappinessandDistress]

I think it is even nicer with jist little little oliveoil on your hands, like just a drop you rub in. The paper then is not so slinky, it is more fabricy and it shrinks more, smaller krinkles. I have done it with even just a little spritz of water or nothing at all. So much fun.

[@Judymontel]

Gayle - I really have to thank you for this video in particular and all of your videos, even if I don't quite keep up. I watched this with great fascination in the morning, it helped me stay calm in the end of the school year madness I'm dealing with. And then my pregnant daughter updated me in the evening with some possible complications with her almost-born baby and I could NOT fall asleep. I tried a bunch of things, including watching another of your videos, but nothing helped, until I thought "do some momigami!" and I did - and it did help with the regular scrunching of the papers, to relax me enough so I could sleep. All I can say is - thank you. It isn't "just" crafting - a lot of the time it's good medicine.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thanks, Judith! Your daughter will be in my prayers. 🙏❤️

[@Judymontel]

@@gayleagostinelli_ct Thank you so much, Gayle!

[@Judymontel]

Good Morning Gayle, “If there was wallpaper, I would have torn it off” 🤣😂🤣. I tried this once and used Rosemary Mint hand rub. It was just lovely. Thank you for the demonstration! ❤️💕❤️

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Morning Amy! ❤

[@pambradley5032]

This is a cool technique! While watching you I pulled out a couple of 6X6 papers to give it a try. I think this is exactly what I need for some of the thicker scrapbook papers. Thank you Gayle for another interesting idea! By the way, I knew we were from the same vintage! LOL

[@dianajackman7213]

My husband just turned 70, too! We are 7 years apart. The only time we really notice our age difference is with music. ❤ This looks like a great project.

[@marionfrance8195]

What great idea making a journal for my sister ongoing. To put my mothers favorite fragrance hand cream on Thanks

Oh, Marion, that’s a great idea! ❤

Love this project.. easy, with great results…right up my alley! Thank you!

[@HeavenlyTreasures7]

Hi Gayle. Just saw this on my feed and am totally mesmerized with this! Love the sound of “Smoky Poppy” lotion. Can you tell me where you purchased it? The thought of putting a sweet smelling and gorgeous sheet into my journals is taking my imagination to some wonderful places! TYS! Such a fun video

[@southernbiscuits1275]

I see a trip to Dollar Tree in my future! Looks like an incredible process!! Thanks for showing us how it's done.

This would be so fun to do with the great grandchildren next time they come. Thank you Gayle

[@carynpetross5841]

I bet it would make an awesome journal cover? Love the technique 😊

[@mybrainymess]

I have made journal cover!

[@mouseydeb3245]

Good afternoon Gayle! 💕 Thanks for doing this so we can watch. 👍 Any problem gluing things down onto this? And does the distress ink stay on the paper and not transfer to hands, next page, etc.? Does hand cream work better than lotion? Does it leave greasy marks when laid on dry regular paper? Brain working overtime. 😂 I foresee Dollar stores all over the country experiencing a mysterious shortage of hand lotions. 😄 Have a great day everyone!💕

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Yes it glues, no the ink doesn’t rub off. It seems to work with any lotion. ❤

[@mouseydeb3245]

@@gayleagostinelli_ct Thank you Gayle! Must try it when I’m off this weekend! 👍 Hope you had a great day!💕

[@debbiev.1311]

Lol Deb...definitely going to be a shortage @ DT!! 🤣😉🩷

[@kimmickleborough4920]

Gayle how fun! Can’t wait to try it. I think the red and gold paper would be lovely for Christmas

[@debbiethompson1320]

Good morning, Gayle! What a neat project. This would make a wonderful journal cover too! What about brown paper bags?

[@julie-annadams4914]

Brown bags work good

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Morning Debbie! ❤

[@sherriobenour3869]

Good morning Gayle! It’s 4a.m. Here and I’m tempted to get out of bed and grab some hand lotion! Lolol I was wondering if you could try that technique on a heavier decorative napkin. That could be super neat too! Thank you for sharing!! I’m definitely going to try this!!!! 😊

[@ellenstaab5736]

I start my morning with you and my coffee. Thanks.❤

[@geridevries839]

This technique must go on my to do list! Fun fun fun! 😆 TFS! Hugs from South Dakota 🤗

This is so, SO fun I'll becoming back every so often, just to replenish my "sensory deprivation fix!"!!! And replenish my collage bits with my own obsession Yes indeedy! Thanks Gayle

[@paigelim4453]

Thank you, Gayle, for showing us this technique! I've wondered how it was done. It reminded me of when I was teaching and I taught my students to take a piece of brown grocery bag or old-style classroom paper towel and repeatedly crumple it up until it was super soft. They loved it. I guess it was a stress reliever for them too. The lotion definitely adds a cool texture to the paper. (I had to put down what I was working on to join you. 😊) So many possibilities ! Have a wonderful day!

[@rachelpatten8889]

Yes! That’s how my 5th graders made treasure maps.

[@robinmentzer7974]

Good morning Gayle. Thank you so much for sharing this awesome technique. I can't wait to try this. I would have never in a million years thought to put hand lotion on paper for such amazing results. There are some extremely creative and clever people out there!

Ok i tred this technic and still ripped a little but im excited to use it. Brown paper bags. O can put pieces on my gingerbread Christmas journal. Wish me luck. Huge hugs. Namaste 🐞🐞🐞

Oh, Gayle, this is so much fun! I might not be able to stop.

[@maryvaszi8742]

Omg Gayle when you said it feels like leather you had me... i remember making Faux Leather Journal Covers that were a real process. I am so excited to try this to make one. Now my mind has gone wild with tons ofvmy papers and card stock. I love Tim Holtz and going to try his. I also have that paper pad from Hobbie Lobby and will play with that too. Thanks a bunch for sharing such an easy, cheap and fun way to play with our paper. You are the best girly.

[@tannabella6071]

Love love love! Fun fun fun! Tfs! Blessings my friend!💕

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Oh we did have fun didn’t we! Stroke of genius buying the lotion at the dollar store, my friend! Thank you! ❤

[@donnatolle1419]

This looks like a great project while watching TV. Of course you would need a TV tray or something in your lap to spread it out. I especially liked seeing how it dulled the shiny surface of that scrapbook paper. I love so many images from books and magazines but do not like the glossy finish. I will try this for sure. So far, my deer have not bothered day lilies in my front yard. Gayle, I would have definitely lost patience with any contractor that did not finish his job. I hope you guys held back a large portion of $$ til completion. I know a few folks that have been badly burned by contractors. Big Hugs Gayle.

[@chaselip]

That's a super fun technique!!! Thanks for showing us how to do the momagami💜💜💜💜🤗

[@martastiltz9338]

Hi Gayle! I saw a KZbin video by artist Robyn McClenden about a year ago demonstrating Momigami using olive oil and other cooking oils. I like your hand lotion version better because it’s less messy. The final results were similar to yours. The oiled,crunched up papers definitely felt like fabric. Thanks for sharing such a cool technique. ❤

[@tracytanasiychuk8253]

Fabulous tutorial. Looking forward to seeing what you do next with this paper. Blessings from Canada 🇨🇦

[@includingyoujournals919]

Gayle, you were right! This video tease did not disappoint. I already have my lotion ready to go! Thanks for sharing! Cynthia

I would use decorative scissors cuts on the edges before crinkling with the lotions. Then you have decorative edges.

I Gayle! I watched a lady make faux leather. Packaging paper spritzed with water just damp, crinkle in the ball, spread the distress ink, and she used hair conditioner! Spread and crinkle. I used the handmade vintage paper you have and my goodnes layered on the faux leather is was like soft hide, like it was tanned. I will definately do this! Thanks for sharing!!❤

I tried this last summer and loved the results. I used plain cardstock and then cut out layers to use on the cover of a journal and then glued a cool kitty button in the middle. I just loved how it turned out. I will say I scrunched my paper more times than you did but I really love the soft, fabric-y feel of the paper.

[@KLThames]

Oh, Gayle... this made me so happy. I heard about this a couple years ago, and tried it and wasn't all that impressed, Everything turned into Swiss cheese paper, lots of holes and ink everywhere. Who knew that lotion was the trick!? Guess I'm glad that I didn't throw out those tubes of lotion that come in those gift packs that people give as gifts. Guess what I'm going to be doing on those upcoming road trips we have planned .
