An awful lot of what you show (in general, not only today), Dragana, is mind blowing. Laminating with packaging, without any need for buying laminating pouches… Stamping on leaves before sealing them…. Cutting large windows in already bound journal and inserting a specimen there… How wonderful. I wish I had more free time to experiment. Watching this video I started to wonder if nice dry plant material could be made somewhat translucent with some wax or baby oil and then laminated traditional way or the way you just show… Oh that would be mind-blowing squared. ♥♥♥

OMG, I was finally getting ready to use my saved cellophane packaging in the specimen tag windows I just cut out! Well, gotta' stop now and watch your video for some tips. Thank you for preventing more plastic from being made into laminating sheets and instead recycling the cellophane packaging. I'm going to try white glue to see if it works just as well as the clear glue. Oh, I tried the glue/napkins for specimens a few days ago and it works great. Also discovered that used tea bags work for stamped images (with permanent ink) - and there's no need to use two sheets of the tea bag because the stamped image readily shows on the back. Grungy, yes, but that was exactly what I wanted for Halloween 'specimens'.

Hi to you! I enjoy upcycling as much as any fellow crafter. Thing is, the next time you use cellophane in the laminator, move it to a well-ventilated area. The fumes could be toxic and harmful, even if they're odorless. Just double-check the operator's manual for any substitutes for the laminating sheets. Then go forth, with your upcycled crafting!
