I really love the lower quality videos, they give me more tingles than the higher quality ones (for some reason). But even now they're still fantastic.

[@simplyelvi5676]

Samee

[@theBoonarmies]

The hint of background white noise makes all the difference.

[@brennaturton6891]

Something about the audio balance is different. I think there are fewer lower tones picked up highlighting the crinkles and certain mouth sounds.

[@clemmy0308]

Something to do with her voice as well. She has more of an accent in these videos whereas in the more recent ones you can clearly hear that she spent her life in the US as her accent sounds more American.

[@georgew5038]

It's the juggs that are having the effect

[@ChaceMcCabe]

I enjoy the fact that every sound made has a purpose, rather than just randomly tapping and scratching things. All well and good, but I find ASMR most powerful when it comes from ambient coincidental sounds, rather than those made for the purpose of triggering ASMR. You're showing us how to do something and it just so happens to put me to sleep. (in a good way) Thanks.

[@kelv___]

Who's out here in 2021? Love these older/ "poorer quality" ASMR videos ❤ Actually... I love anything she does! 😅

[@cindland]

Me. I’m just finding the old stuff and love her tutorials. She’s very creative and I enjoy the instructional voice rather than the straight whispering. Of course. Supplies have improved since and you can draw with paint pens now!

[@roooose16]

I just got this recommended today lol

[@AdA-rl4eo]

These old school lo fi videos are the best…. ❤ I think I’ve been subbed almost as long as this video

[@laurabaker4296]

Making your snowflakes again Maria! This is about the 4/5 time I made them since you posted in 2011. I’ve been with you since the very beginning ❤️

[@butterpecanrican_]

And now 2019... still one of the best ASMR videos out there.

[@cornflakegirl4811]

That was the beginning of my asmr journey ... looking for a crafts project, watched, hooked forever!

[@arleyamiller2873]

[@kamrync2592]

exactly 10 years ago today this video was posted, and I remember watching this right when it came out. I came back for the craft tutorial, and ended up watching it all the way through again! I couldn't click off I was so relaxed. still the best to this day

[@vanessafields6156]

She is the best, I like her older videos best, I like the soft spoken smooth natural flow voice not so much whispering and slow it’s not natural sounding as no one really talks slow in real life as it would be annoying waiting for the words to come out, but as I said she is the best in soft spoken

[@debbieomi]

I used your directions for these again. I had to decorate the lobby of our high school auditorium for our winter concert and these worked perfectly. I actually printed Christmas song sheet music from the internet then cut the papers into 8x8 squares. I used 8 pieces to make the star and they turned out fantastic! Everyone thought I slaved away for days making them. :-) Thank you once again for this video tutorial, Maria.

[@sharonsOff]

Great idea to use sheet music!

[@blackneos940]

Mmmm..... High School and Christmas time..... :) I miss those days, back in the late 2000's....

[@FeelslikeHalloween]

I love the Christmas song sheet music idea!! How clever and creative!! :)

[@terrieross3051]

Garden Glow. Lovely ideas! You could also use (something new to me) glitter paper! Maybe more expensive to make (sorry, don't remember cost) but w/low lighting would be SO glitter-y!! You know how glitter goes EVERYWHERE! Can you imagine making whole sheets of it??!! What's also nice about these is pretty young kids could probably make these too.

[@TheApp9]

Wow.... you know what? I searched 1, 2 or maybe 3 years ago youtube for origami videos. Made by woman and without disturbing music in the background. Only papersounds. But I searched without success. I didn't know anything about ASMR and I thougt I am the only one on earth who is looking for calm and silent origami videos on youtube for relaxation purpose and tingles ;-)

[@rockytherookie8599]

TheApp9 dude, I have been doing the same, so you ain't the only one. :)

[@lildog1424]

TheApp9 same!!!!Love you gentle whispers!!

[@analuvzya7]

TheApp9 thats exactly how i found asmr too !

[@bryankerbow7871]

Nope not the only one. I used to watch PBS craft shows as a teenager just bc the soft spoken women and the sounds of the paper and the brushes made me tingle. I always thought i was just strange as a kid and back then ASMR wasnt even a thing. Lol. I discovered ASMR just a coupke months back when I accidentally came across the infamous 3D sound video called "The Tucker Zone" which led me to a binaural haircut video and watching that suddenly ASMR videos were suggested . I watched my first one which was Gentle Whispers haircut and the rest is tingly history. Now i cant fall asleep without listening to an ASMR video.

[@jose-gr7jg]

2018!!! You have grown a lot, you shoud do origami videos again

[@Johnny_Blaze]

Totally agree! Maybe in the same "free form" style. Kinda like a throwback.

[@marimil1469]

I really like her older video's. She had this very alluring accent and the way she talked in general. Actually old videos, at least for me are kind of more effective for inducing tingles or for making me sleep, don't know why.

[@wendyattack]

just a parrot I watched her old videos exclusively

You are a lady Bob Ross. Your voice is, not your hair. Watching this, all I could think was "happy little snowflakes". Love it. Thank you!

[@sabrinacopas1636]

Nine years later and I still watch this during the winter from around Christmas through Saint Patrick’s day. 💙 😁

[@thepockettinglesasmr6520]

I know that it's March, but I just realized I learned how to make these stars while watching this video. *My whole office has you to thank* since these stars made our holidays so much brighter. And we still haven't taken them down :D They are just so pretty :)

[@phil0s0phy0]

I love the old videos so much

[@XGlamourLive]

Loved this tutorial :) Also, I never find any rude or mean comments when I come to your videos. We respect you so much Maria

[@rachelmhenry]

i love the way you say "three" and "festive" ....tinglesssss

[@TheRealLadyJenn]

This is a great idea, Maria. I have been making smaller ones for gifts this year. I have found if you spray them with clear, glossy spray paint (at least 2 coats) it makes the paper look like ribbon. Thanks for sharing such a simply beautiful idea.

[@EaquaX2]

Dear Gentle Whispering, I am 15 years old, living in Utah, and I am so grateful for everything you do. you're by far my favorite whisperer, and I can't get to sleep without you. At the end of a long day, I can get on youtube, and just relax and be in a great mood. I can't thank you enough. Your biggest fan, Tyler.

[@Cuntkyss]

Tyler Ray this is so wholesome

[@LoFIJak]

I love your instructional videos. They're relaxing and I get to learn how to do something

Maria is my crafts teacher, my home decor expert, and my relaxing agent. Thank you so much Maria!!! You've impacted my life...I made this today just because I was bored...lol.

[@tonyprice3878]

i watched this with my nieces one night so they would fall asleep the next day we watched again and are going to make our own decorations this year thank you maria. Anton x

[@FeelslikeHalloween]

It's November 3rd, but after watching this I'm going to start making these right now because I don't want to forget to make them during the busy holiday season. I will just hang them in my storage room and then take them out when I start my Christmas decorating! Thank you for posting this video!!!

[@AromaticWisdomInstitute]

I love these original videos and prefer them to the high tech vids of today.

[@Johnny_Blaze]

I love coming back to the older videos. You're still amazing, Maria

[@Baini229]

I have made about 900 of these since I watched your video, and I've taught it to 4 other people who loved it!

[@topgun3758]

The most reason I love your videos is that you have talent and skill and the best asmr soft voice in the business!

[@sclewis7]

I wish I could post pics. I made three of these for my house in various shades of purple. They look like something you would buy at a store. So beautiful! Thank you for teaching me something new. I love your videos for the ASMR aspects but also because you do really teach useful and fun skills. You rock!!

Made one today, came back here to remember how to do the cuts. Happy winter holidays, everyone! 💜

Asmr + learning how to make artsy stuff = so much win I can barely contain myself. Braingasms

[@jeric0777]

Finally made it to the end if this one without falling asleep. Now I can make these with my kids (and keep using the video to fall asleep). Thank you!

[@brownqs]

Wow, that makes a cool shadow on the wall when you hold it up!

This is the video i watched years ago and discovered asmr, was looking for tutorials and fell asleep. Watched them everyday since :)

[@GOODBYEskateteam]

That's beautiful!

[@greeniddoll]

Hi Maria, happy new year! I just wanted to thank you for this great snowflake tutorial. I'm sure you heard about the horrible tragedy in Newtown ct. My niece works for a school here in ct and the staff was asked over there winter break to make snowflakes for the students of the Sandy Hook elementary school kids for when they return to classes at there new school. I made it in the green and white colors for them. So again, thank you. Hopefully this will make their day a little brighter......

[@nefronaynay]

I love this... and thank goodness NO AD! I can't use any vids with ads on my playlist, they wake me up! lol. Thank you so much!

[@silviaarriola1992]

I saw it yesterday, today I made one! a lovely idea :) thanks Maria

[@maikeherschmann3644]

my mother makes this out of paper that are writting in braille they look even more beautifull! i looooove your videos and hope you are well.

[@ddieter603]

What a great idea for the kids!

[@idcnouvelles]

Two weeks to go until it's Christmas and you give us a present in advance, a half-hour video including CRAFTING.

[@thewazzupchick]

Omg. Asmr for the first time. Woah.

[@debbieomi]

OMG I love this!! My mind was all a whirl thinking of the different papers I have and can use to make these. I'm going to make two first thing in the morning to go along side a bulletin board I am decorating in the school library where I work. I would suggest to anyone who is having a child do the decorating that the drawing is done before cutting. An older kid might be able to design it after the cutting but a little one might have difficulty not tearing the paper. Thank you, Maria!

[@WatercolorFish]

This video was a total trigger, and really fun. I love arts and crafts!

I learned making these when I was 8 years old but I totally forgot it until I saw this video. *Oh gosh, here comes the nostalgia* Thank you so much for reminding me of that! :D

[@Gracie8205]

I watched this for the asmr aspect and now i am addicted to making snowflakes. Thank you so much for this video!! I've made like 10 snowflakes in the last 3 days!!! :)

[@redjo20]

I love this video. The decoration is fantastic and you're just perfect as the presenter! Amazing ASMR effect too.

[@AbstractOddity]

how neat! i would love to see more hand videos - something I used to love doing when i was little was dipping my hands in hot wax in a parafin that my mother had and then peel it off. i think a lot of people like doing this with glue too. anyway, can't wait for more new videos. they help me sleep so much!

[@GhostOrchid]

This is, quite possibly, my favorite video you've ever done. You teach so well! I'm no good at this sort of thing, but I figured out how to do this with no trouble! :D You're the BEST.

This is awesome! Thanks for the great idea Maria!

Hey, Maria, thanks so much for this :) I made this last year to my mom and she still has it! God, how the time flies... I remember very well of me watching this video and at the same time making the snowflake/star hahah ^-^. It made her very happy, by the way, so thanks again :)

[@Silvanfan]

wow i thought that the paper was actually in that design. i was thinking "my gosh where would i find nice paper like that". i'm in france right now, and i think nailpolish is too expensive here. but I'm gonna try to make taht with all the highlighters I have here :D i'm gonna attempt to make one of those stars to hang in my appartment for the new year :D
