Tips! What To Do With Thin Brittle Vintage Book Pages, Old Newspapers Etc.? The Paper Outpost:)

[@nickimcpheehals572]

"Borrowed a few book pages and hope no one notices" you just crack me up! Love your ideas and thoughts. Truly fun to watch and learn from. Keep it up!

[@headlessviolin]

Oh I love you just what we need in blooming lockdown I watched you all night woke my husband up laughing. What about a Velcro dot to have a closure or a ribbon closure just a mad idea. Keep these videos coming please x I’m in the uk x

[@menm_91]

I have Dark Eyed Juncos! They come down from Canada in the winter. Where I live is considered their "south" for the winter, which is DEFINITELY no one else's! When I start seeing them, I know winter is truly here. And when they leave (and the Robins show up), I know it's spring. Cute little birds for sure.

[@loisfinch1569]

Hi from PA! We have juncos galore in th winter. Lovely lil birdies!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

I love hearing this! TFS! :)

[@joank8370]

A couple of other ideas 💡. You can use wood glue with brittle paper, it works very well. Also, I mix a little bit of matte medium with a few drops of vintage photo reinker and brush it over the whole page.

[@kimberleymaloy1728]

TFS this, I'm new and just disassembling some vintage and antique books I bought, and one has very brittle pages, so I'm looking for ideas on how to get them out and use them.

[@caroltanzi29]

Well, you are most entertaining. I think these large envelopes are great ideas for packaging a gift. Nice job.

[@AliceRodriguez]

Good morning/ afternoon I should say LOL. It is nice to be able to sleep in a bit every once in awhile. These are just beautiful, supper cute, elegant and easy. Will love to create a few of these in the coming days. I was so happy to join your FB group the day before yesterday. I shared a junk journal start that me and my daughter are working on. I absolutely love all the creativity in the group. So much inspiring ideas and a lovely bunch of people.

Beauitful envelopes Pam so pretty love your crafting ideas thank you for sharing your talent love from London xx

Hi K D! You make me happy! Thanks kindly! :) Pam :) !!

[@gdobberteen]

Thank you so much for another great project! I have some of that tangled leaf 🍃 trim. I cut a chunk off of a paper towel roll and untangle it while watching TV and wrapped around the trim untwisting it as I went . Works sooo much better ❤️

[@AnnaCWilliams]

The buttons filled with beads...YES Thanks Pam

We have Juncos here in Minnesota. My Mom was a bird watcher, but in her later years would loudly call out "Junco"! When playing Bunco with friends. Still makes me giggle! Thanks for the memory!

[@nelsonshakespeare2881]

Very nice project. Have been painting watercolor poinsettias and holly bobs on pages for gift jj and I have LOTS of VINTAGE paper (in English) at my house to add the wc to. 😊💛 Have a fab day all!

[@cece3194]

These are super pretty purses/envelopes, they remind me of little clutch purses. Very cool!

[@elainet5870]

Great idea to line the brittle papers. Hot glue does give a strong instant bond, but over time it may dry up and pieces may fall off. I prefer the fabri-fix for paper crafting.

[@49lucky]

I get glue strings everywhere when i use fabri fix I like Aqua

[@heathertiryung1023]

I found myself humming the little song you do.🤪😜🤪😜🤪😜. Yeah, that song.

[@kimberleymaloy1728]

Hi Pam, I'm one of your newer subbies. I actually had never heard of junk journaling 3 yrs. ago. Today, I was trying to disassemble a book and it was crumbling paper so, I googled how to handle it and found this old video. Thank you so much for the ideas! Now, to figure out how to get it out of the binding without tearing it all apart. TFS 😊

[@kathrynhelm4176]

Those are great and I love the way you trimmed them. Wow, that bird popped. Thanks Pam!

Thanks Kathryn! Big hugs to you!:)

[@loisfinch1569]

Hi from PA! Love the dangles! The bird was a perfect fit! Have some vintage yellowed newspaper and think this idea is perfect! So glad to see another video. I told my hubby that your my sister from another mother as I am laughing while watching your video. He said why do I say that? I say cuz we think a lot alike. Hahahahahahaha! Hugs!!

With the Uhu you have to be a bit more heavy handed and you have to go over the same place twice. I could never get it to work well either, but Gayle makes it stick; she is the one that clued me in on how to make it stick. Love the envelopes. They turn out so beautiful.

Good Morning! Love, Love, Love these Beautiful Envelopes Pam! Brilliant Use of Fragile Papers And...Book pages that would make someone's toes curl! !! I'll share a Yikes/Amusing story... I have many large book pages but didn't have a lot of smaller ones so I just ordered a bunch. I like to add book pages upright so folks can read but after glancing the text...Soo relieved I did this Ahead of making something...Oh My! This huge stack is a Challenge! I thought, I'll just stencil over...No. I'll stamp over...No. I'll collage over...every word?....No. None of these ideas and Many others would do for these book pages/ text! I am going to "Hide" these pages on the Inside of your Fabulous Creation! Boy am I Thankful Pam! You Saved a huge bundle of book pages!! Lol!

[@pjp9383]

When I want the added texture of text in the background, but don't want the words themselves to be a distraction, I just turn them upside down. Add in some collaging, stamping etc, and it makes it virtually unreadable, unless someone is trying very very hard!

[@lynnmartin5141]

The glue gun that everyone, especially a crafter must have- I bought one, now knowing how clumsy I am, I bought the finger guards, and spare ones just in case - I see all the reasons ways I can use this awesome tool....right! Mine is still in the box and has been since the day I bought it nearly 3 years ago. I have pretty much every make of glue there is, but I always go back to my aqua, takes a bit to grip and dry, but it’s so good, anyway who needs a glue gun? Not me xx stunning envelope Thank you xx😁❤️

Awesome wish I could find some really old vintage papers found a few books and music books nothing really old like 1800’s ... maybe someday!!

[@marilyncarlson7097]

I would suggest old estate sales, especially from the property of a farmer. Or if you know any living farmers. They often have lots of storage space and save stuff for generations. Most don't value old things much, so they might not even put them up for sale. Be sure to ask for it. They'll think you are nuts, but all the better, for a cheap price. (I know, b/c I'm describing my recently deceased farm parents.)

[@emmkaa2099]

Pam, SO KYOOT!! I have wonderful new (well, new to me - absolutely NOT new) vintage and beyond books with beautiful fragile pages and I also have a need for a pocket or two an TAA DAA - - The Pamster just somehow knows!

A great way to get lots of lace inexpensively is to go to a thrift store which sells clothing really cheap, and look for lacy clothing. I have found shorts, shirts, skirts, and dresses made of lace that can be cut up as desired--into strips or shapes or even die-cut. Love your videos.
