DIY Washi 5 ways // Dollar tree junk journal challenge

[@kiiwiispice]

Dollar Tree Inspired is beyond enough to set the blueprint for the project! I know EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS that you do NOT NEED TO take an unnecessary trip to Dollar Tree for Double Stick Tape, Napkins, Clips etc. when WE ALL KNOW they carry those items!! TFS...APPRECIATE your time!

[@Luxinda]

Great idea for making washi!! Absolutely loved the “blahblahblah” segment 😁🥰

[@deborahboman6294]

Thank you for demonstrating this idea, I Love the lace idea!! Blahblahblah... there’s always a critic. You handled it well!

[@annthomas9583]

This is a very great idea. I personally prefer gluing my lace ribbon onto the page directly because it is bulky enough already, but definitely love the idea of using napkins, fabric and your own mixed media designs to make it. Genius!

[@DonnaHarris3578]

I would have never thought it but I really like the book page with the little stamped images. 👍😀

[@mimiroderick3250]

O.M.G. Not only inspiring but hysterical! For the win!!!

[@beckyb4074]

Hello Jessica, I loved your chipmunk (sped up) talk. I get you young lady, ya just can't please everyone. I personally like your tips and tricks. Thank you so much for sharing. Take care and God bless you and yours. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas

[@susanmorris5520]

I absolutely loved this video so much that you have given me some ideas that I can use what I have or get what I need at the DT. You really are such an inspirational person for when it comes to having or getting ideas from you or getting ideas just out of nowhere. Thanks again and God bless you and have a Bless evening always! Sue(Clearwater, Florida)❤️👍🏻🙏🏻🤟🏻👼🥰🌴🌸🦋😎😍❌⭕️❌⭕️

[@joycedugas4550]

LoL 🤣 your speedup Was Perfect!🥰

[@blissismore2823]

When I saw you were making washi tape I almost...did not watch, too hard or so I thought! Thank goodness you make everything so easy. I am making a birthday journal for my granddaughter and will make washi tape and other embellishments out of the gift wrap from her presents. A way to remember the love from the special people in her life, especially the ones who cannot be with her to celebrate.

[@kivanovskis]

Loved your ideas for homemade washi tapes! You can also wind your washi onto empty TP roll or paper towel roll.

[@jeanhayes6925]

I love using napkins, but would never have thought to make washi out of it!!! Thanks for all you do! I could never put myself out there like you do :) thank you and hugs 💗

[@godsgraceissufficient2324]

I love this idea!!! I have lots of beautiful napkins! Thank you for posting this video!!!😊

[@sonja5654]

Love the book page idea! I use baby powder on all sticky stuff like stickers and die cuts, works great.

[@donnahoward3694]

Gonna enjoy making the fabric and lace and paper washi tape!

[@KellysCreativeDreams]

Hi Jessica... love the ideas. Tips on removing the backing. if you have problems removing the paper back, burnish a little more. Also, use the tip of a straight pin to get into our paper and lift up. I use baby powder in a little baby food container with a medium pompom to pounce over the openings. Creative Blessings!

[@marusnak1113]

I love your channel. Your methods make me feel like I have everything I need to accomplish a decent product. So many ideas - how cool, and great experimentation. Thank you. (And thumbs up on blah, blah segment!)

[@Maggita2015]

It should probably be called A dollar tree inspiration challenge. Probably too late for that 😉! That way people will know you are just inspiring us to make a journal using the items from dollar tree and adding whatever you have at hand. Anyways, You are doing a fantastic job! You are inspiring me to make new items and learn so much !! Thank you!

[@anns6335]

You're genius! This is the best washi lifehack I've ever seen.

[@galequinton2738]

Love the washi and the funny segment

[@rachelphelps6347]

I loved the blahblahblah talk!!! Haha....too funny!! Love this tutorial of making washi tape.

[@lindah5910]

You can also use a paper tissue (e.g. Kleenex) to get rid of unwanted stickiness (as in your helpful lace washi example). This writ large is a great idea! Thank you!

[@onthewaycraftmanualidades515]

Nice washi tapes, I will do it for sure 🤩 Thank you for sharing with the universe 😍💐

[@dawnwilloughby249]

Take a piece of scotch tape and put it on the back of the napkin and gentle pull. Then peel off back layer.

[@virtuallycolleen]

I admire the fact that you used what you had, because why pay for something you have? And every $tree I’ve been in carries slightly different supplies so I think it would be impossible to have all the same supplies. Anyhoo, thanks for the inspiration! I saw another KZbinr take the blank layer of the napkin you removed and use text stamps, acrylic paint, and made another variety of washi. Great video!

[@chrissy24-7]

Ooo I like the idea of using all of the napkin and also incorporating my stamps! 💡 💕

[@idalujan3571]

I am a new subscriber and I really enjoying all your videos. I like you creative style.

[@sherryvanderpool4024]

Great ideas I even tried magazine pages and it looks good also

[@LaceCoveredSkies]

Thank you so much for the mention! 🤍 I’m loving all the different washis you made. 😍 i want to make some using book pages in the very near future! And I never knew about the powder tool. I’m definitely going to have to try using cornstarch for something like this!

[@KellysCreativeDreams]

I use baby powder in a little container with a medium pompom. I'm going to check out your channel, too. Thanks for inspiring. Creative Blessings!

[@LaceCoveredSkies]

@@KellysCreativeDreams awesome, thank you!

[@annkathy257]

Thanks, Jessica! 🙂

[@karenbrown5174]

I’ve only been following you for about two weeks and have gotten so many good ideas from you. I love how you created your own Washi. I also have ordered some of your Amazon recommendations and I’m using them already - not the stamps! Thank you for your inspiration.

[@lynngudgeon9416]

This is awesome!! You are so talented and I thank you for sharing. Have a blessed weekend 🙂.

[@buckeyehockey1979]

Just a quick thing. The dollar tree double sided tape they have now is .3 inches or basically 1/3 inch wide and 33 feet long now. Or 8mm× 10m (got that off the package, not that good, lol). It is super sticky now as well. Just some info for people to compare. I agree not everything is a good value. Also a warning! Whatever you do, do not use the dollar tree "exato" style knife. I had got one to try, it fell apart and had I not already been on guard for that, I would have been injured.

[@paulinesteinbrink3568]

I love your Dollar Tree Inspiration videos. I just found you this weekend and am loving all that you have put together. I wish the local Dollar Trees in my area carried half the stuff you have mentioned in your videos. I only have found a couple of designs in napkins at my local Dollar Trees and they were birthday themed which is great if you are making a birthday journal. Keep up the great work! I look forward to other ideas you have in store.

[@princesadedioscelines5557]

I love all your ideas you have inspired me to make my own; thank you so much!

[@debk1915]

Never tired making washi tape! Looks easy and fun, thank you!

[@faymeowsiumo]

Great idea for making washi. When you do the book page one I wished I could tell you that you put tape on the patterned side lol. I love how you do things so casually and not afraid to show us your mistake. I think it might also be great if just put double sided tape on the back of a full napkin or fabric to make them like a huge size sticker. And you can just cut of some of it for decorations. But it probably will need a lot of double sided tape 😂

[@KentuckyKrafter]

Excited to try washi napkin. Thx for sharing. Glad you gave the other channel credit.

[@debatedate]

What a clever idea! I will give Lace Covered Skies' channel a look for sure. Also I really like your husband's music, such great beats for crafting.

[@LaceCoveredSkies]

Awww thank you so much! 😊

[@margem6623]

What a clever idea. Who'd a thunk. 😊

[@dannagirlsdesigns2323]

Awesome idea! I’ve been wondering how to make my own washi. The blah blah blah was hilarious! 🤣

[@dinabaughman8731]

I used fabric tape for gauze pads for repositionable washi.

[@JustJournalingwithPossumPatty]

Howdy, Jessica! Thanks for sharing so many ways to make awesome "washi" tape. I've got to get some double sided tape and try this! Blessings & Bubbles...oooOOO

[@lucyfanning7496]

Thank you for all the great inspiration.

[@crafterdeidra]

I need to make me some washi with all the different napkins I have so they can get used up. Great video as always. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@junkjournalgirl]

I am really enjoying your series and the work u are putting into n it Jessica!!! Keep doing what u are doing it is awesome. Will have heaps of inspiration the time lockdown finishes hehe 🤣

[@lisashappycrafting1263]

Love this idea. So so many options. You can get so creative. Love the idea of making it so it can hang off the edge of the page.

[@fondahorton6248]

Wonderful idea 🤗

[@diannemount6524]

This last year I've tried to use what I already had on hand no need to buy new loved the blah blah blah any how I've heard of people making their own washi so excited to give this a try you made it look easy. Thanks.

[@maryannewatson2393]

oh my lord its the chipmunks!... great tutorial

[@patriciafaulkner7002]

Never thought of making washi tape before. I really like your imaginative creativity. Thx for inspiring me.

[@arlenef3934]

What a great idea!

[@suzanne4258]

Thank you for sharing this idea. I will have to check out the napkin supply at my $store!

[@jesgarcia6054]

Wow thank you for sharing this idea! 🦋🍓💜

This is such a great idea!

[@nobodysher]

That was hilarious. Good for you. Some people 😵

[@lifemix5710]

.They turned out really cute! Totally doing this! TFS!

[@dianegomes7914]

Very useful tip!!

[@sandofthesun]

Hi Jessica, can you please give us a link to that nice sticky double sided tape and the powder tool. What else do you use that powder tool for? And what kind of powder is in it? Love this idea of making your own washi. It looks amazing. When I can find the tape, I will make some. Thank you, Sandra.💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@absyntheew7075]

I would like to say OMGOMGOMG gorgeous!

[@kellyshackleford4179]

Thought/Suggestion: Take a toilet paper tube and cut into circular pieces the width of the washi tape. Attach one end of the washi tape to a piece of the toilet paper tube with a small piece of scotch tape. Roll the washi tape around the piece of toilet paper tube and put another small piece of scotch tape on the end of the washi tape to secure. It will prevent the washi tape from being squished and easier to store. (Bonus: 🤫 Nobody, but you will know that you didn't purchase the washi tape from a craft store or online. 😉)

[@godsgraceissufficient2324]

Cool idea!!👍

[@diannajohnston4558]

I just take my Ace and spray the back of the piece I cut with spray adhesive.....I just don’t have the patience to fuss with all the cutting

[@MsPixieD]

Hi Jessica, The bird at the beginning of the video is so pretty! Do you have a link for that stamp? Cheers :)

[@lili721]

Great!

[@sallypenning]

That looks like a 3ply napkin. I think there is another backing layer on there.

[@sandofthesun]

Hi Jessica, I have a question totally unrelated to this video but I was going through some of your videos and thinking about old books. So many journalers use old ephemera or book page. When you get them from thrift stores or yard sales is there anything you do to treat them or sanitize them? Some old books can have slight mold. I really am curious if there is something you do or check for. I’ve never heard anyone talk about this. Thank you, Sandra.

[@DOCDOCFLAMINGOS]

As always I want to thank you for sharing your ideas and making the videos .. I also don't want to come off like I'm being mean or crappy. And hope it's just suggestions that might help in the future. I think a better description for this might be as decorative tape or make sure people know it's a permanent tape to use . Because "Washi" is known as a tape that is very low tack and can be removed or repositioned. And that way people are less likely to get confused You did mention it actually really quick about it not being like the normal Washi tape , but just saying it more might help with less issues with people having issue and telling you about it On that same note. I think you addressing the comments about the Dollar tree challenge of items not being the same etc. I think it's very valid and important for people to hear. BUT while it can be heard I think that speeding up the voice on that part just makes it seem much less important thus less likely that people listen and hear what you telling them about . Because again I think what you said and addressing it , is totally fair and valid . So I hope the thought of treating it differently might be considered so that people do hear and understand it , because it's important to you and important that they know where your coming from... Again I think you are showing alot of great ideas and working threw problems as you are filming and I appreciate that most of all rather then just seeing someone making something with no issues or mistakes because they edit that all out . But then that's not reality for anyone who might try it on their own at home. So I feel you are just where you need to be as anyone whould mist likely be at the same time frame of making abd creating for their channel ..it's all a learning process and I think your learning by trial and error .. and of course then your growing as well ...Thank You.

[@teresamarsh1555]

These are so beautiful and so easy to do. Thanks so much for showing us :)

[@kkniker158]

Cool

[@penguinoni8941]

Great idea. One thing why do American's not like the word quarter? I really hate the use of the word fourths but that's just me ☺️

[@ThePaperPatch]

I hear us using both. I personally prefer quarter 😊😊

[@simoresims755]

Girl, I just wanna say, I am SO sorry you are being harassed! To me, this type of challenge includes supplies, NOT tools! I've been wondering why people were making such a fuss about tools from the beginning. You can't please everyone. I refuse to be "PC." I think you did a fabulous job with this challenge. I struggle with Anxiety Disorder, so I know this is often easier said than done, but don't let the party wreckers wreck your fun! TFS.

[@missyb.623]

Hahaha! You are funny!

[@ricanpandaluvr1467]

Thanks for the inspiring video, gonna try it. The blah blah section was hilarious and I can't belive you have to explain your decisions to critical ppl Ce la vie 🥴🥴🥴

[@annaleehowell4792]

LOL! I could have peed on myself! Tell them girl! It just bafoodles me that folks have the nerve to critic you, while you're there SHARING with us for zippo/nada. I've heard it all ~ dogs barking in background, pronunciations...Lord have mercy. If you can do it better get a channel and show us YOUR best. Kudos little lady. TFS ~Ana

[@sandofthesun]

So sorry, I just saw the link for the tape. Oops 😬

[@NotTooShabbyChic]

Blah blah blah!!! Love the washi ideas

[@absyntheew7075]

I'd also like to say, for those of you making negative comments, or "Corrective, or you should comments", WHY? You are watching a video that she created, for you...and you don't have to even pay to see it! In addition, you are not making the videos...they take lots of time, effort, editing, and work to put out. The creators probably already work so hard to make the content what you want, it is likely very disheartening to hear such nitpicky negative things...and...COULD YOU ACTUALLY MAKE BETTER VIDEO CONTENT?!?!

[@myotheraccountonothe]

🤣😂😅😂🤣😂😅ranty rant 🤣😂😅😂🤣😂😅

[@sherriewoods9538]

Why not use things you already have? No need to buy more when you already have stuff, I love using up what I have.

[@mizfrog4776]

You are making tapes, but you are NOT making washi tape. Washi tape has to be made from Japanese washi paper. You are making decorative tape, not washi tape.
