PAPER NETTING - STILL UNDECIDED!

[@donnaswisher8408]

I think this is pretty cool. I would fold it in half and put it in a signature. The page behind it in the journal would be peeking through...cool. Great in a grungy journal. And in grunge world perfect is not welcome 😜, only perfectly imperfect 😁. Have a great day.

@donnaswisher8408 😆 thank you Donna 😊 🙏 💓

[@emmkaa2099]

I think you're wonderful!! I love it that you saw this and tried it AND shared it with us. I've never seen this before! I wasn't sure either, UNTIL I saw the clusters you made with it. Girl! Yes please!! I wanna do this - wanna make some pages. Truly, TYFS!! Hugs, MK 🤗🤗

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@emmkaa2099 wonderful! I've worried about this video thinking I shouldn't have put it up. I think of I ever do again, it will be in much smaller pieces. Thank you so much😊💖

[@Kathy.Cooksey6]

Christy, you are so funny! You rubbed the paper together and then said, “that’s a mess!” I love your take on the different techniques others do!

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@@Kathy.Cooksey6 😆 thank you so much! 😊💖

[@wendymontgomery9837]

I think it looks great when you place it behind as part of a cluster. I also live the pieces that you haven't ripped....I think they would be lovely as a page or base for a Journal cover. You are the greatest at trying all things, showing us all your steps and telling us how other crafters do things. I looove watching you Christy. ❤Wendy

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@wendymontgomery9837 thank you Wendy😊💖 I definitely think if I make it again, it will be a much smaller piece

[@evelyndavis5999]

Those perfect squares could be little windows on a page and put a picture of a person in the window !!!

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@evelyndavis5999 yes! That's a great idea, thank you😊💖

[@leslieg7696]

Thank you for sharing your experiments. I like to see what doesn't work, so this video is useful to me. I don't think you should apologise, it is not realistic that everything will always be wonderful. I prefer an honest approach.

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@leslieg7696 thank you! I agree, plus maybe others have tried and can tell me what to do different to make it look better, or maybe it's just not for me! Doesn't hurt to try, right!? 😊💖❤️

[@corriespapertrail]

I LOVE ALL OF IT!!!!!

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@@corriespapertrail yay! That's wonderful. I was so worried about this one! Thank you😊💖

[@hunnyprice9824]

Oh Christy this was such a cute video! I love your sense of humor!!! I haven't seen this before and honestly I really liked the grungy one, with the terrible tracing paper! I also have the attention span of a gnat and so I liked the idea you had about making it on a smaller scale maybe. It does add something to the clusters! Glad you showed the video, you did inspire me by showing me something new!!!😊

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@hunnyprice9824 wonderful! I've been questioning if I should have even put that video up, because it really didn't teach anything. I'm so glad you liked it. 😊💖thank you

[@janetvisochi-baum7572]

I am glad that you showed this video. I have made this. I have made many of them - using it as a whole piece is difficult. I prefer breaking it down and using them to create ephemera along with cheesecloth/lace corrugated cardboard and a Timmy doll.❤ Thank you

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@janetvisochi-baum7572 agreed! I think smaller pieces is the way for me too. Thank you😊💖

[@wendymontgomery9837]

Oooooooh yes, try packing paper, maybe even unripped as journal page or a base for a cover. ❤Wendy

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@wendymontgomery9837 yes, I think packing paper will be cool!

[@joannefrers9032]

I really appreciate you showing this process. I had never even heard of this! ❤

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@joannefrers9032 thank you! I would definitely recommend small pieces😊💖

[@judithjones6781]

Good afternoon. I like the smaller pieces used as background and enhancements. Thanks for sharing. Happy creating.

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@@judithjones6781 I agree. I definitely recommend just making smaller ones. Thank you😊💖

[@angelacovarrubiasrwab]

I’ve never seen this done before. I adore the first few with the holes. Those are cool!

@@angelacovarrubiasrwab yay! Thank you so much!😊💖

[@creativedesignsbydel]

This is such a unique idea. I love the results - especially the layered pieces. So glad you showed how you used it. I thought it was very cool anyway but what you did was exquisite!

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@@creativedesignsbydel thank you so much!!😊💖

[@wendymontgomery9837]

Haaaa ha ha I love you Christy..... maybe it is a bit fiddly...... Love your video as always. ❤Wendy

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

I think I'm just going to keep experimenting!😊💖

[@lawrencerodgers2074]

I love your channel. I love the way you showed the paper with the holes in it... gives a peekaboo type of visual when looking at designed or painted papers behind it. Thank you for sharing your creativity and for pushing past the desire to not share... I don't sew but this looked awesome and when I do learn to sew this will be something I will attempt to duplicate. :)

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@lawrencerodgers2074 thank you so much! 😊 I think that's the beauty of this project, you don't really need to know how to sew. The sloppier, the better! 💖

[@LaurelR-e9s]

I've seen these in more than a few vids but passes by because I don't sew. So you showed me a way to do it w/o sewing. I like the look of them on the pages you showed. So thx for going beyond to check it out🎉 You don't make "wasted" vids❤

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@@LaurelR-e9s thank you so much! What a nice thing to say😊💖

[@wendymontgomery9837]

Yes yes, i think much better to use in small pieces as part of cluster ❤Wendy

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

Agreed!

[@wendymontgomery9837]

I even think that your magazine page just sewn would be a great journal page addition but I'm not sure about the tearing either. ❤Wendy

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@@wendymontgomery9837 I was wondering that myself,, thank you😊💖

[@VaneeseCollins]

I like it in small pieces, like you did on the journal cards.

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@@VaneeseCollins I agree! Me too. Thank you😊💖

[@susietruelove3657]

I like the first one that was on top of the rest and it's the one you used on your example

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@susietruelove3657 thank you!! That was my favorite too 😊💖❤️

[@aliwallie496]

Hi Christy,I agree the ones you used on the clusters did look good not sure about the process. I don’t have a sewing machine so probably won’t try this one😀

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@@aliwallie496 thank you😊💖

[@Jill_K_S]

As one big chunk, it doesn’t look so beautiful. Then you put it into smaller pieces as an accent it is great! They are great for texture. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Maybe add some ink on top when you use it. Trial and error. Great job.

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@Jill_K_S thank you!😊💖

[@janisdurwael269]

I saw a lady make "japanese paper cloth". She didn't sew it though....which I think is a nice touch. She got different kinds of papers and for each one she put hand cream on and scrunched each paper into ball, opened it up and scruched it into a ball again...for several minutes each.....it really did feel like cloth but it did take quite a while...the same process was used in making a paper bag look like leather... time consumng but very tactile!

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@janisdurwael269 momigami, yes I've done a video on that, and I love it! That, I can use a lot. This,,,mmmm, not so sure other than clusters. Thank you so much😊💖

[@marilynmccormick3731]

I'm always wanting something to do with my hands while I watch videos. I get restless. Maybe it's a leftover from my previous smoking days. Actually, I read once that eliminating the habit of hand to mouth motion is what "quitting" so difficult. Even after 24 years, it might still be affeacting me! Anyway, I'm thinking that this Japanese method of kneeding paper might be an answer for me, plus give me usable cloth-like paper to use. Craft therapy, I suppose

[@janisdurwael269]

I make about 5-6 sheets at atime and just srunch of them into a ball and put them in a bowl by my computer and as I'm watching videos i "play " with them!@@marilynmccormick3731

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@marilynmccormick3731 yes, and you'll have super soft hands to boot! I agree on the habit. I believe that's probably the hardest part. Something to do with our hands 😊

[@donnamartin927]

Oh my word I love your grungy ones !! These are so awsome!! I hope mine turn out as well as yours !! I love the floppy one too it’s awesome!! Too good!!! Gotta do this this afternoon!! The magazine is great you are too hard on yourself ! I love it!!

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

Thank you Donna! Let me know how yours turns out ☺☺💖💖

[@donna9373]

I think they would be a great base for a vessel, with the holes to poke things through.

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@@donna9373 now that's a good idea! Thank you😊💖

[@carolm9451]

I've seen this project before and haven't tried it yet, seemed like a lot of work and yep, wasn't sure I liked it either, lol. 🤔 I do love how it looks in the clusters behind the little peeps. 🥰 I think the magazine page could be pretty cool, maybe if you scrunched it up first, then sewed over it, mhm, I might give that a try. I like the texture of the thicker yarn too.😊 I actually love the second piece you showed in the video, looks like it's kinda yellows and blue/grays, you said made with tracing paper as well, only it's much stiffer then the first piece? maybe you added glue to that piece?? 💜💜💜 Made me laugh when you said you're too impatient to watch videos all the way through Christy 😂🤣😂 I get impatient too, so 95% of what I watch, I increase the speed to 2 times, singers are the only ones I watch at normal speed. I swear, if I ever meet someone I chat with on KZbin, I certainly wouldn't recognize them by their voices, lol. 🥴

[@carolm9451]

oh, I rewatched and you did say you added glue to the piece I really liked, wonder if you can add the glue after tearing it up.... hmmm.... will try it at some point, but maybe smaller pieces, lol. Oh, found the baby pictures, emailed them to you 😊

[@sarahmiller6183]

I love this. I have been thinking about doing it and using bits in some of my abstract paintings. I like the way you put a small section behind your focal points. I think you did it correctly. Don't be so hard on yourself. TFS

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

Thank you! Honestly, I think that's more what it's for, the paintings. That would be so cool! 😊💖❤️

[@GrandmaAbby1]

Thanks for sharing your experience with this. I’ve been wanting to try it for quite some time but I don’t have the patience to go through with it just for some background paper.

@@GrandmaAbby1 I think for smaller pieces, it would be great, but I agree. I won't be doing full pieces again. Thank you😊❤️

[@cynthiamccoy845]

I was glad to see this video! I watched a few different tutorials and thought the results were pretty cool. However, when I did the process-mine- well, not so much. I do like the way your clusters look. Also in one of the videos, it was used as part of a journal cover, which I tried, but it just didn't do it for me. I am decided- I don't like paper netting lol.
