Tim Holtz Shares Tips and Tricks for Using Distress Crayons at Scrapbook.com

[@alexisverbic4509]

I bought Distress Crayons three years ago and never used them. Today I said, enough - you are going to do a project with them. So, I came on KZbin and found this video. I am so excited!!! Thank yoou so much for so many different ways to use them! Limitedless!

[@eileenfitzgerald8509]

I love these! My only concern is that water or dampness dissolves the ink. Is there a fixative for these crayons?

[@kerryevans3695]

I continue to be amazed by Tim's salesmanship!! So good at what he does!!

[@KatieHaley-o1g]

Fantastic tutorial on Distress Crayons! Thank you!!

[@mamapillow8365]

I've watched this video more than once and I still find it helpful, thanks.

[@lauramartin7300]

I bought a bunch of these. Haven't played yet cause I wasn't sure where to start. So watching several videos to help. Thank you for your help. Hope to play with them tomorrow. Getting some ideas. TY again..

[@assilemisawesome]

Ooh. Never seen the metallic ones before! Nice 🙂

[@bobetteparker8583]

Thank you, you just made up my mind, I am buying them.

[@comoxdragonfly]

[@angelaf5040]

Love this guy and ALL his products! Love Mario too!

[@sonialynnstation9905]

Very exciting! Can not not wait to explore!!!!

[@susanyee1]

Just what I needed! I waited too long to add water! Thanks!

[@theOmega989]

I love all the Distress products! Super fun!

[@scrapbook]

We love them too! :D

[@baboo7192]

I just got some of these distress crayons and yet I’ve haven’t played with them yet, so I had to find this video and now I’m super excited. I can’t wait to play with them.

[@TheKathleensUTube]

Thank you so much; for the great tutorial videos and the line itself. I am loving the pigments and how vibrant they are! xxoo

[@hopehamborsky7570]

Okay just love your products and watch you cuz I learned so much, but today I am kind of glad my sniffer was working because I was watching you and being so intrigued that I almost forgot about my supper on the stove. So much humidity in PA that I get a sinus head cold all the time.

[@rinavogels4262]

I already bought them, now I know how to use them 😅 The softness is so great. Thanks a lot for your tutorial ❤

[@Lauraisabelgonzalezart]

That man is a FREAKING GENIUS...sorry the loudness but it's so true! And in person....so down to earth and humble!

[@nancyfitch4789]

This demonstration was so interesting and helpful! Thanks!❤

[@mdempsey7128]

It would be great if we could bring the empty crayon tubes back to the craft store for the manufacturer could recycle them. :)

[@MaAllen417]

I love to use them as storage for scraps of paper or embelishments.

[@lorieduff7126]

Or get a refill

[@PeacockPigment]

Yes to this!!

[@jimmiesewell3953]

Or Better Yet We Can Get Refills!

[@leeojascastro711]

Or get them refilled, since we’ve wasted so much on the baby wipes 😅

[@catherinewingfield-yeatts]

Thanks Tim! I didn't know distress crayons existed until the other day. I'm glad I found your video on how to use them.

[@sherylefagan5132]

I must say, that I have Botton some of those crayons because they’re so pretty but I never knew quite what to do with him now I do thank you so much for sharing that video

[@leoniepreece1784]

Hi,I am Leonie from Cambridge, New Zealand. Love it. ❤️ ❣️🥂

[@cynthiaprosperie960]

Just rec some of my crayons love them , have to watch video first to understand the Crayon first . I Love Love watching u , the way u are with crayon .

[@lorrainedurgee1761]

Thanks , June 2020, I forgot how to use my crayons....great video..

[@amandineflipot8565]

I love you Tim Holtz ! thanks for all you do and all you are

[@amandineflipot8565]

and now I have to have these ! ***JOY***

[@Naria4210]

You make it easier to know what I can do with my crayons. I appreciate you showing us how to use your products. Thank you again!!!

[@jennylittlefield3293]

I agree with Christine’s comment below. U should be teaching. Every time u demo a product I have to get it. U r really a great teacher. I love your products. Probably best out there. Thank u for all u do!

[@christinedavies336]

Having attended one of Tim's workshops I can confirm he is an amazing teacher of mixed media - full of knowledge of what will work and why and if not how to make it work the next time! Yes, 'he could sell sand to an Arab' but it goes deeper than that, much, much deeper - he teaches from the heart and at everyone's pace - that's such a talent these days!

[@keelyandhercrazywheatenter573]

What an amazing product! Crayons and inks look like a lot of fun and so versatile. I think a crafter could really get their money’s worth from all the products. Props to you Tim, you doing a great job presenting your products and seem genuinely enthusiastic about them. You have a nice speaking voice, of course very knowledgeable about the product and speed of delivery makes for a pleasant and comprehensive tutorial. I think you’re kind of a big deal, I am a freak about everything your name is on! Regards, keely henson Murrieta CA.

[@Moonlava722]

I wish Mr. Holtz was my neighbor so I could borrow stuff!

[@tthappyrock368]

Distress Crayons are on my Christmas wish list! I can't wait to have some and use them!

[@scrapbook]

So exciting! We hope you love them! :D

[@zulmabontiffe487]

Just what I needed to see !!! THANK YOU SO MUCH . I just received both CRAYON markers AND the DISTRESS markers in all the colors. I started collecting your stencils, stamps, inks and whatever else I would need last year... I so INTO this craft and it was so nice to finally see your face. Thank you so much for the simplicity of the video ESPECIALLY NO HORRIBLE, NOISEY, DISTRACTING , "MAKE ME WANT TO SCREAM" music.... so NOT NEEDED. I think your products are of fine quality and the colors are FALALALALA. I AM LOVING IT TIM. :):):)

[@juliebattistel143]

This as fantastic and so informative ❤️❤️❤️thank you Tim 🥰🥰🥰

[@petmomful2260]

Tim I love your products, and I am going to get some of these crayons. I also LOVE your fabrics. They are such high quality and I love the designs. I am making a hexie quilt right now with some of them. I also like your tutorials. You are just a nice, likable guy. Here is one old lady who hopes to see you teach in person some day.

[@apocalypse_frau]

I’m grateful for this demo. I don’t have any of the sets yet, because I was misinformed and thought that they’d be too similar to oil pastels to captivate my curiosity. I’m glad you’ve set me straight-if you hear a rustling sound, that’s the crayons flying off the shelves and cash flying out of my wallet. 🤟 💸💸💸

[@scrapbook]

LOL...you are too funny. Glad you enjoyed the video and learned something new. Enjoy your new treasures. Thanks for watching.

[@pattylovescrafting5544]

I got a few sets and wish I could get them all. I’m not an artist and have very little experience with inks in any form but these crayons make me feel like I know what I’m doing and I’m an awesome artist, lol. Thanks Tim.

[@cynthiaowens1639]

I just got a set tonight and can’t wait to use it!

[@scrapbook]

We can't wait to see everything you create with them Cynthia! 😊

[@amandastanush7522]

I just adore you! You make a person get excited about your products. These crayons turn a no talented person into an artist!💋

[@scrapbook]

Isn't he just amazing?! His products are great too!

[@MsSuperklutz]

OMG And WOW!! WOW!!!! WOW!!!!! That was so much fun watching your Distress Crayons Creative Process and seeing your amazing visions come together....it was like magic!! Gosh I have your crayons but truly never realized that they could be used in this way.....OMG the look is Spectacular and breathtaking!! Thank for sharing your Tremendously Terrific Tips, Tricks and Techniques along with your Outstanding Tutorial!! Oh I’m with Abby can’t wait to break out my Distress Crayons and Craftabulous!! YOU SO ROCK!! Joan Smith

[@donnawilliams-i7b]

Love the distress line. Question? My crayons are so dry is there a way to revitalize these?

[@jrumulls-jana9368]

Thank you for showing how to use the crayons! I think I can do that! Love the boldness of the colors!

[@rosalieridle4675]

Thank you! Super fantastic video! Love Tim Holz and now love my distress crayons since I know how to use them! ❤

[@penniecampbell1182]

Very versatile and great colours

[@beautybug1831]

So inspirational (and most of all, so SIMPLE & FUN)! Btw, I think the metalic crayons can be wonderful as WAX SEAL HIGHLIGHTERS 🤔💭 Aren't they?!

[@brianacpratt]

Thanks so much for these refresher videos. I have not yet broken into my crayons and have a bunch of oxide inks on the way, so it's time for some fun! You really are amazing Tim and your work brightens my life 😊

[@scrapbook]

Thank for watching. Bust those crayons open and start creating! You'll be glad you did!! ;)

[@Crafty-xy4or]

I love the distress crayons! Some of the regular colors work on black cardstock as well not all but some and its pretty cool looking too.

[@WendyColeArt]

Fantastic demo and product, thank you!

[@kimberlymcv8408]

So cool just ordered a pack

[@memecottrill]

Cool product also love your man rings

[@grannyjan9465]

I have three sets of the crayons and ❤️❤️❤️ them! Thanks for the extra tips!

[@christinedavies336]

YAY! This is where you NEED to be Timmy Boyo (a Welsh word for someone you hold in high regard/are very fond of) - on the front-line - teaching and demoing - not hid away in some pokey industrial / science lab! Wondering if 'Scrapbook.com' would take a fifty- something year old woman on for work experience under your tutourage - is that even a word? I've been told to take myself off on an adventure - passport at the ready.......

[@jillrobinson6908]

How excellent can something get? Endless possibilities

[@suesweetpea7]

I just started using your distress inks and love them so far, but have never tried using your distress crayons. I will have to try these later when funds are more readily available. Love your products so far.

[@craftylittlerthings]

I wish I had never seen this video, every time I watch one of your videos.....I want! Oh yes I so want these distress crayons, only thing is I’d have to sell my soul to get them, oh well there is always my birthday or Christmas, both a while off but so worth waiting for!

[@missvickie1975]

Souls are overrated! Just take my money, take my soul, i don't care, just gimme distress crayons ;-)

[@memekendall3197]

Have to ask, Did you get your distress crayons for Christmas or anything fun to craft? Hope so 😀.

[@dorismikolajczak5278]

I feel your pain. I never paid attention to these crayons before, now I want them.

[@craftylittlerthings]

@@memekendall3197 No I got money but was ill so couldn’t order anything, got into resin after I was better, but still have money to spend to get them, yay!

[@donajones5772]

Every holiday all I ask for is art supplies. Love it all!

[@Debzkick]

Do they ever dry on a mod podge surface do you have to seal it? And what do you seal it with? Marvelous tutorial.

[@gagatoots807]

That's what I would like to know too

[@pewpewcat7679]

I'm assuming you have to use fixative with these. They seem to be a bit oil based. I haven't played enough with mine yet but my thought is I'll have to seal with a spray to be on the safe side or else it looks like it will just rub off

[@sinjinn797]

PewPewCat they dry after awhile

[@patcyzauskas7216]

I purchased some over a yr ago but have not used them. Guess I should get them out and play.

[@staceycooper1634]

Pat Cyzauskas Me, too. Now I know what to do with them!

[@OnePeacefulMind_2024]

OMG OMG mr tim holtz, ur the best of the best!, wow those crayons are amazing! gotta get them now, all, and I'm saying ALL tim holtz products are amazing! Thank you so much!

[@paulineking9746]

You made me want crayons! You make it look so easy...

[@maryjordan7649]

Where do you obtain your stencil? I have gelatos etc and find them hard to use. May look into the distressed crayons. I've never found a good source of stencils....would love to use nonpaper ones that tear easily. Informative video....thanks!

[@bethmiller4266]

Sooooo damn co old and easy. Love tags, stencils and crayons, Tim

[@edieneil758]

Hi Tim. I’m so late to the party lol. Once dry, can we stamp on the distress crayons, will black ink show up? Thank you for your wonderful products!

[@KH-lt3he]

Thank you, Tim. I enjoy your videos and learn a lot by your techniques. I love the smaller sized stencils, but haven’t seen them in “PV”stores. I am collecting a nice collection of your products.

[@bethmiller4266]

Rocks my crafting brain, Tim. 🔥

[@scrapbook]

He does the same thing for us too! It's always a pleasure when Tim comes to film.

[@gailsbookishthings5191]

The distress crayons will have to be added to my craft supplies soon!

[@ritanazar]

wow just love this.

[@lindaepstein7736]

These look like a really fun product. Great tips how to use them. Thanks for sharing this.

[@PurpleCottageCrafts]

Thanks Tim for another fabulous tutorial. I’m definitely breaking out my Distress Crayons tomorrow💕

[@creativekp9326]

Cam we then seal on tip of the crayon surface? I don't want to give someone a messy tag

[@thecreativecountrycrafter]

How long does it take them to complete dry or set on a completed project?

[@angelaserendipityarts5294]

I learn a lot thanks Tim.

[@MyCardArt]

Very good video and super informative 🦋👍🏻

[@cre8vmama]

Great tips Tim! Knew some from playing but not all! I love your products b/c they’re so stinkin’ versatile!!👍🏻

[@MariaNyceDesigns]

Thanks Tim for sharing yet another one of your amazing art products! Continued success & Hugs!

[@cherylms11]

Thank you- love your videos I buy the products and don’t know how to use them correctly.

[@harpreetrandhawa1604]

It seems so easy ..u are brilliant..just want to ask if we can use these colours on modpodged surface ...like wood ..glass etc ....

[@smartsize56]

Thank you

[@paulapreston937]

The water was not working well for smuggling. Baby wipes or any kind of disinfectant wipe!!!! Omg I love this!!

[@moemanley2579]

Pirates smuggle very well with water 🤣

[@lynnelively6018]

If you wanted to seal these would you use collage pauge?

[@gerardineholland1357]

Could you use the crayons on gelly plate?

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much, I really really appreciate your time and effort. I have some distress crayons 🖍 and I really really love 💕 the effects you can get with them. xxx Mags

[@harley1200rdr]

Can these crayons be used on plastic? (Melt bead pellets) Then maybe a sealant over the top so the crayon doesn't run or melt if you will?

[@Veronim78]

Great tips. Thank you for sharing.

[@lauramiller6294]

so glad you did this video. I have several sets but just didnt know i could use them like this. YAH

[@fayneilly833]

Will buy some, very good .

[@kcthatsme]

Love this medium. Really cool effects.

[@koyosensebe8027]

Lovely tutorial!

[@msjen024]

will these ever set? thank you

[@starlouise397]

What's the sealant... I guess I can't do what you did without that, I can't find it in the description ✨

[@starlouise397]

Ha collage medium 🎉

[@bmk5529]

Thank you. I love them!

[@hauntibles]

Some good tips here. Thanks!

[@MsCurliegirlie]

Wow going to buy more today! ☺️💕

[@ssharp11]

Great tutorial!!! Thank you so much. Wishing you a super week. Hugs Susan

[@jeannebeam3042]

Great tips. Thanks

[@socorrocastorena3862]

Hi Tim. Great video! Can you please tell me if I seal my project after I use my distressed crayon or do just leave it without sealing it? Please let me know. I want to start my project today. 😁😍

[@ritalippert8236]

This is what I'm wondering, too.

[@blackitten2]

Love this tutorial! Thanks for sharing.

[@Misslullu]

Amazing!!

[@nancyprobst6311]

Very cool!

[@PEPSIKERR]

I love this. TFS a video.

[@martha_makes_art]

Is there any way to seal the design when you have it like you want.

[@LeaundraRoss]

Love these and now I have to buy them, lol.
