TRANSPARENT COLLAGE WASHI STRIPS using WAX PAPER | SCRAP BUSTERS |

[@ruthskiff2899]

Very cool Melina. Also congratulations on winning your showcase in South Carolina at your singing in the sun event

[@miwin1000]

instead of waxed paper I use cereal bags from boxes of cereal. I also use the bags from cookies that are also in boxes. I get one kind that gives me a real nice clear bag I can use for windows and clear envelopes.

[@CC12398]

Very resourceful! Ty

[@gailcason3652]

what is the kind that gives you the nice clear bag? Neat idea!

[@donicehoopaugh9089]

I haven't made one of these yet. Well, that changed today. Thankyou

[@lisapabon2210]

Hello TFS they are very nice and I have never made those . Happy Crafting.

[@pauletteliddell2923]

These are so cute. Good idea for those who don't have washi tape.

[@angelabutler7761]

What a great idea! I am thinking I might just start with a large square of wax paper, collage and stamp it and then just cut different widths of strips for my “washi tape.”

[@MelinaPylant]

Awesome!

[@yingsters]

I just came across your channel as I was looking for ideas for scrapbooky kind of recipe book to do for my sister. She loves baking. I never left,3 hours later! I loved your creativity!! You are so creative and have a very good eye for matching things. I noticed you tend to like earth tones. I am very drawn to those colours too. God bless you and yours. Keep on keeping on!

[@MelinaPylant]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@LindaGraham-h1d]

Very beautiful gorgeous collage transparent stripes I 💖 it 😊

[@brendasmith-allen4601]

Melina you never cease to amaze me! I have been binge watching your videos and enjoying the heck out of them. I love all your scrap busters. I love your "southernness" because I'm from Louisiana.

[@MelinaPylant]

We just left Livingston, LA heading home! our first trip to Louisiana to sing! 😊

[@crafti.louisecreates6824]

What a great idea!!!

[@jamiebrown-nugent9120]

I'm not sure why, but I truly love making these! I haven't had the chance to make much of anything in quite a while, but these are one of my favorite things to make!

[@RockyRoadCreationsbyDiana]

Oh boy, another project I HAVE to try. Like you, I was thinking I don't know about this, but as soon as the stamp hit the paper I was in love. #3 is my favorite. God job!

[@pameladouglas5193]

These are absolutely gorgeous, especially the green one! Thanks for sharing!

[@renaywp1]

Really looks nice- love the simplicity and quickness of these! All of them turned out beautiful!! 🥰🤗🙌🏻

[@MelinaPylant]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@momof2641]

These are so cute but I think it would be so much easier and cost effective to use clear contact paper from the Dollar Tree or Walmart. If you left a little bit of room on the top and bottom you could stick the back cover to them then you could make a bunch of them ahead of time and they’d be protected. Just my thoughts, I think I’m going to give it a try myself with paper, fabric and dried flowers & leaves

[@lynnehebert6188]

Every time I see you guys making videos I’m in the store shopping Thank you

[@MelinaPylant]

Those are so cool, like the idea of using wax paper.

[@MelinaPylant]

Thank you!

[@janicegandt4550]

This looks like so much fun. You always make things look so quick & easy. To Another crafter I watch often uses glue sticks. Instead of laying the small pieces down to rub glue stick on the back, she stands the glue stick up & rubs the small pieces over the glue. That way she doesn't have to peel the small pieces off a gluey mat. 🤗

[@MelinaPylant]

Great idea! Thanks so much for watching!

[@denisegardner2373]

Oh my gosh are these awesome. I haven't seen this type before so I am glad to find this. You make it look so fun and easy. THS. Will definitely be trying these. 😁👍

[@MelinaPylant]

Thanks so much 😊

[@heathersullivan8494]

Funny I was thinking oh that doesn’t look real great, but then you stamped them, and I was like ohhh those are pretty!! lol

[@MelinaPylant]

Right?! I thought the same thing before the stamping! Ha! Ha! It's amazing the difference! Thanks so much for watching!

Hello lovely Melina. I’m actually doing this right now. I got my bits all together along with stamp w script, circles, watercolor paint off papers some tiny diecut flowers 🌸 in different colors I’m using elmers craft bond extra strength glue stick working great. I’m thankful you made it back home safe and sound. Again, so sorry for your loss. Hugs. 💕🍂🍂

[@sandofthesun]

Love love love this idea💕💕💕💕. But it makes me coo coo to watch you put your paper piece on your glue page then try to peel it up. Your putting it on top of the old glue, that’s why they are hard to get up. Lol 😂. That said, I love your channel and you are very creative and inspiring. God bless💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@TheJournalCottage]

Yes, Gi Kerr is not currently shipping to USA due to cost and length of time. My husband said the ships from China are sitting off port with no way to unload and not enough trucks or truckers to drive it to the locations. Very bad because you can’t get the items needed. Not just crafts. Glitter glue on Amazon running 12 weeks to ship which is too bad for those who live in cold climates 😞

[@MelinaPylant]

Yeah. It’s a crazy world we are living in.

[@debbiebeasley6169]

Hi! I’m new at this so I’m wondering what you do with them? They’re very beautiful I want to try them! But what do I use them for.. 🤔💜

[@MelinaPylant]

Hi! In the very next video after this one, I use these. I like to add them as decoration to the edge of a journal page. Cut them up and add them as decoration to pockets and tags. Etc.

[@Jenniferatcreativeartspark]

These are really nice and I like the idea of using wax paper more than packing tape. I may have to try with deli paper since I don’t have any wax paper right now. How are you going to use the strips? Are you going to further divide the strips by cutting lengthwise more? Will you use for edges in junk journals or on cards? I’m just curious. Thanks in advance.

[@MelinaPylant]

I used them as page borders and I did cut them up as used as decorations on pockets.

[@elainehoj6808]

Hi I did just come across your channel and love this and what brand of wax paper are you using as I live in Sweden and I have never seen this type 😊

[@MelinaPylant]

it was just the Wal-Mart brand, so generic store brand.

[@pamminevins3818]

Very cute. How’d the wax paper work after some time using glue stick?

[@MelinaPylant]

Great!

[@dottiewatson3394]

Wax side up or down

[@MelinaPylant]

No rhyme or reason, just glue it down.

[@jlouutube65]

How will a glue stick work on waxed paper...not well.

[@MelinaPylant]

Well.......doubter pants......it worked very well for me. I still have some of this roll left in my stash and everything is still stuck to the wax paper. So there you go.

[@suzyallen1726]

I am assuming you are gluing on non shiny side ?? ? Is this important

[@MelinaPylant]

Correct

[@Psalm_27.4]

Couldn’t you use a LARGE sheet of wax paper to make a collage mastersheet, with acrylic paint, mark-making, stenciling, pastels, liquid inks, other desired scraps of paper, and THEN cut it into strips, AND GLUE the ends of the strips together (slightly overlapping) and create your own wax paper washi ROLL?? SAME COULD BE done on all other types of transparent/thin paper-deli paper, parchment paper, tissue paper. Then you can glue it down with MATTE medium if your roll isn’t too heavy or GEL medium if your roll ends up being heavier. Yes? No? Please let me know!!!

[@jl4643]

Sure! Why don’t you make a video and show us 😂

[@marlenegura1161]

Maybe it's just me but I've NEVER seen waxed paper that clear. What am I not understanding???

[@MelinaPylant]

I have no clue. It’s just regular store brand wax paper. It’s frosted just like all other wax paper I’ve ever bought. 😉

[@alteriormotiveswithcarrie8546]

These look really great, and what an inspired idea to use wax paper! Now, to stick the whole thing onto a journal page or whatever, would you use gluestick? I'd be afraid to use wet glue and just have the whole thing get too wet and rip. What do you think? I'm a new subscriber! Come check out my channel--I do Rachel's challenges too!

[@rebeccabodine413]

I anticipated that you were going to put the wax paper on top to see through. Why not just do the collage pieces on regular paper. I don't see well at all so maybe I'm just missing something others can see. 🙅

[@MelinaPylant]

Just think of what you’d add these too. You will be able to see the beautiful patterned papers and such here and there in spots where you can see the wax paper through. It’s just a beautiful new way to display your collaging and get even more beauty through it when you apply it to your journals and scrap pages. 🙂

[@td82056]

Hi Melina! Fairly new subscriber. Loved your creativity with this project. Did you put a layer of some type of sealant, ie Mod Podge on top to ensure scraps staying down on the wax paper?
