SMALL BUSINESS 101: How to Make Custom Tissue Paper at Home (cheap)

Hi loves!
Over 80 people on my instagram voted for me to explain how I made my own tissue paper, so I decided to make this video the first one of the series.
This may seem tedious to some yet super easy to others. Either away, I tried to be as detailed as possible as I am someone who prefers details when following a procedure.
Let me know if you try this out! What video do you all wanna see next for episode 2 of #smallbusiness101 ?

Also if you do not have a printer. Get a business self inking stamp and just stamp it. That should work as well

[@stephaniescott294]

ooooh that sounds great as well.

[@Lissucks]

Where can you purchase custom stamps?

[@NeuroimagingClara]

@@Lissucks amazon has some cheap ones or etsy

[@LaceMama6]

That's actually even a cheaper idea!! Ink can be so expensive. Much faster too. Great tip!!

[@solointheburbs]

I hand stamp all of my tissue paper and my shipping boxes. Love it.

[@hcharles8492]

This was such a great tip!! Anytime us small biz owners can save money is a win in my book. Thanks for this!

WOOHOO

Literally your a genius!!

[@MissMolly3377]

You can do this by just taping it to regular printer paper, too. I watch a lot of crafting videos, and there are a few of them that do it, quite often. Here are the names of the two channels, I know of. "DIY at the Schwowins Nest" and "Our Upcycled Life." I think they both use just regular printer paper. That may be why your edges were messed up, because you used a thicker paper. I don't know, but I am going to try it both ways. Anyway, just make sure it doesn't get wet, or it will bleed, but you can spray it with hairspray to help with that, maybe. One last thing, on tissue paper, there is, sometimes, a shiny side and dull side, print on the dull side. I believe, the Dollar Tree tissue paper does have a shiny and dull side. Anyway, I just thought I would share these tips. 😊 Thank you, for sharing this video.

[@createthebalance]

For an affordable customized tissue, I would suggest aliexpress or Uprinting

[@chelesaeklund9547]

I love you so much. "repeat after me: tissue paper from dollar tree." Yaaaaas, Sis.

Great for small businesses owners that’s branding, less supplies on hand and you don’t have to purchasing bulk items that will be sitting around. Love this idea. 😍

[@brittanyromae5172]

You’re welcomeee💕

[@sincerelym11]

Wow, I love this! Exactly what I was looking for.

[@auntiediddy]

You could also take the tissue paper to a local printing company (not staples) someone that has a large format printer. They might be able to print n the paper and you won't have to cut it.

[@steviecraftyhands3353]

That's amazing you have saved me a fortune for my little card making business thank you

[@bigfancy5794]

This was the best video I've seen in months! I'm so glad I found it.

[@thequeerhermit]

Thank you for your time. I have been trying to do this for a few months now, and you finally taught me how. Thank you. Much appreciated.

[@gracemelyne]

Good Job girl! you are giving me a lot of ideas as well as people in the comments. Thank you

[@itz_.tabzz_]

I was literally looking for places to do this for me lol THANK YOU 🇯🇲

[@jayboyk7361]

This is too cute! Order yourself a custom logo rubber stamp and customize your ink pad with your business colors. Just Saying!

[@hijabiheart8865]

Gurl, you're a life-saver 😍😮 I was looking for customized tissue papers but couldn't buy any because of the price and the MOQ. I'm a small online seller and wants to try this hack. Thank you for sharing this!!!

[@jjindahouse1]

I have to do this!!! Love it love it love! You are the best, thanks for sharing with us struggling small business owners

[@HeyAllie]

I would also suggest tamoe river paper. It will print on it's own and is longer than regular letter paper. I got mine on Amazon

[@delanycook8469]

So do you just put it in the printer like regular?

[@ahknandasacai]

OMG..... and as a new small business owner I've been spending what I don't have just for good presentation to my customers. Now I'll be able to save money. Thank you soooooooo much for the hack. Thank you, Thank you

[@DBULala]

I just think it’s amazing that something so simple came out so pretty. I will most definitely be giving this hack a try! Thanks!

[@jas8815]

Amazing!!!! I will be making some custom tissue for my daughter’s and myself ( all have Small businesses) I am so excited

[@3lue5tar]

Ooooooh okay!!🤔 I had tried tapping my tracing paper on ONE part of the printer paper and it messed up as soon as the printer tried taking it😅 I'm gonna try your way tomorrow with the folds and tape in the back!! Thank you for sharing this tip!!💖 Also....thank you KZbin for having this on my recommended videos heh

[@BoojeeUniversity]

My launch date is nearing and this was an amazing idea because i was going to order some custom tissue paper next week ! But now i can just do it myself. Thanks ❤

[@tinajones440]

AMAZING RESULTS!...Best DIY I've seen in quite a while.

[@ketura_v_art]

GREAT TUTORIAL ... you can also iron FREEZER PAPER onto the back of the tissue paper, that way taping is not necessary (you just PEEL OFF the tissue paper once the printing is complete ... this method also works for personalizing fabric) 🙂

[@KayVlog]

Just did this! and i love how it came out, thank you for this!

[@heardxmonee]

yesss this was so helpful and your personality throughout makes it easy to watch. love it!!!

[@tarawineinger2454]

Great job! I love your humor. I watched all the way thru because you have a great style. Thanks for the tip!

[@lololo1670]

God I’ve tried glue dots spray glue and was just about to order some roll on glue strips but didn’t think of this 😂 I’m about to try it

[@venessahfrancis2233]

Gurl, love it!! Maybe with that 🇯🇲 in the background l should say "Gwarn gyal, yuh paper tun up!" Xx

[@suni9625]

I watched this video because of the flag🤣 Caribbean Posse🇹🇹

[@kerryhorwitz4093]

I have never tried this, but think a couple of points need to be made. Tissue paper comes in a type that has one side that has a fine wax-type layer. You can tell you're using this because one side is shiny. This tissue paper is more stable than the higher quality tissue paper that is matt on both sides. I know you said use Dollar Tree (we don't have this store in the UK and the "pound shop" type shops don't tend to have such a big selection of goodies 😭) I mention this because some people might have to get their tissue paper online. I have just checked some customised tissue paper I have in a purchase I just made and the print is on the shiny "waxy" side. It is possible that using the more porous matt side of tissue paper you might get a bleed. You didn't mention the type of printer you have, but (green with envy lol) you obviously have a top-notch laser printer. This will make a difference with outcome. The lower quality tissue paper also does not have a good white base colour, so the print might not come up as well. There is a lot of work involved in this technique. You have to calculate the cost of all the materials, including the printer. The time taken needs to be calculated in terms of your wages when pricing your goods. You might find that it works out more expensive when wage is taken into account. A small one-off job might suit this technique. For the cutting of fine paper, like tissue, I would recommend a guillotine be used. The tissue paper is not always ironed or pressed perfectly flat. The slightest kink will cause bunching, like you experienced. Sorry to be so negative. It is a good idea, I hope my input will be helpful. Be blessed, K

[@lyndam67]

This is actually really helpful. I’m looking to make my own decoupage tissue paper as I can’t find anything I like. However, the paper once printed on, is then painted with mod-podge. I’m thinking that the glue may smudge the printed paper.

[@kerryhorwitz4093]

​@Lynda Medcalf I would be very interested if you give us feedback on your experience making decoupage paper. I could make on suggestion. Perhaps you could try rice paper? There are lots of designs available but the DIY print could work too. I have absolutely no idea about this but I thought I would throw it out there while you're experimenting. Good luck!

[@naturesproducts6005]

Small business and so happy i found this. Going to get tissue paper now 😜
