You make everything so clear, simple, logical! You don't fill the time with unnecessary chit-chat, yet have a comfortable friendly vibe. 🌟One of the best KZbinrs in the art/craft category! 🌟

Luv ur work. Not only are they beautiful and practical projects, this 77 year old can enjoy playing with. Thank you.

[@janevincent7103]

Wow, Natasha, you sure have opened up some doors for me. I've not thought of most of those things you've made. Just beautiful. I love following you with your inexhaustive, wonderful imagination. My favorite, though I love all of them, has got to be the writing Board. So very clever to insert in a journal. I know I've been frustrated many times by obstructions of any kind in my notebooks and journals. Another well said, clear, and beautiful project package from Natasha. Thank you soooo much. XOXOJANE

I think your "failed" bag is very interesting. I like it. Sometimes other people will love what you consider "fails".

[@MaAllen417]

Wow Natasha! I love all your ideas. Thank you for your time. I have to say I think you explain things very well for those in the back row. Some people pick up on things quicker then others, Awesome anyway. I enjoy every seeing notification from Treasure Books!!!

[@lindaward3353]

Using an older large page dictionary in a wedding themed journal, I used the first page of the alphabet corresponding with the bride's and groom's first initial. The dictionary page was beautiful, showing the letter in different languages on the upper halves of each page. A work of art. I used the facing pages and decoupaged a napkin in the bride's colors on both pages but didn't cover all of the print leaving the upper halves without napkin or glue. It seemed to fade away one into the other. I was very pleased with how it turned out, especially since this was my very first journal. 30:04

[@joanhawkins8552]

Love this video. The "fail" really isn't a fail, you can fussy cut around the image and glue or stitch to another project.

[@rgporter1957]

I don't think it was a fail either because it can be used elsewhere after fussy cutting. I would try putting a piece of parchment paper inside the bag before decoupaging. I think that might help eliminate those wrinkles. I'm going to try that and see.

I've used Napkins to make Beautiful Cards cards before but I've never decoupage them onto anything. And wouldn't have thought to use them in Journals. Thank you so much❣❣❣❣

[@thecalicoheart7946]

Hi Natasa, you must be psychic - I was wondering what else I could with my napkins that I keep buying!! Thank you for sharing your ideas! 😊🙏💐💕 I am old to crafting but new to playing with napkins! 😁 My idea - journal cover - I made a double layer (glued) of card with cereal box cardboard. Added more strips of card for detail. Decoupaged it with pieces of brown Kraft napkin. Painted it. Aged it with more paint. Varnished it. Added tea-dyed braid made from household string. Gold highlights with gilding paste. Now it looks like an old leather book, with the ‘wrinkled napkin effect’! 😃

[@sandradolan4171]

I can’t wait to decoupage everything! Thank you for your wonderful tutorial. You inspire me to want to do everything you show us. 🥰

[@sandybe11]

I love the flower napkin on the black book! White would make it pop, but the subtleness is gorgeous. I have decoupaged napkins a lot, but never thought of doing it on a repurposed book. Duh! Thanks so much Natasa!

[@gillianmilburn3712]

I like the subtly of the napkin in the black book too, it reminded me of upholstery fabric!

[@mhdivito]

I recently made my mother a desk organiser by gluing 3 small cardboard boxes together, covered that with torn book page scraps of different hues and fonts and covered the whole thing with a decoupaged napkin, it came out really well. Having the different book pages underneath added some character to it. It’s amazing the things that you can decoupage with napkins. I really love the idea of the writing boards.💚 Thanks for sharing this video and all your great ideas 💚 Oh and the brown paper lunch bags work well for decoupaging, they’re little bit thicker and just as easy to decorate. 💚

[@leesternchen]

Great and gorgeous as always, thank you so, so much! ☺ The leftovers of the napkins can be stamped and then decoupaged too. There are soo many possibilities...

[@barbaracabrera207]

Great idea for white napkin backs. I'm going to do that!!! Thanks!

[@leesternchen]

@@barbaracabrera207 it's better to use water resistant colours, else they're maybe "bleeding" when you decoupage it (happened to me :'D)

Thanks for the tip on how to decoupage on dark surfaces. I love including black tags in my journals so that I can write on them with my metallic gel pens. Usually, I just collage the front, but now I'm going to try the gesso and napkin technique on some of them.

[@normaferrenburg3602]

I watched your video then went to my stash and got a decorative napkin with a horizontal pattern, used a glue stick to get the center of the napkin centered onto the fold of a manilla file folder, then used liquid glue to adhere the rest of the napkin to the file folder. It will make a perfect signature cover! Thanks for the idea!

[@kerryasquith1867]

I really like the images on the book pages. I'll have to give that a try. My favourite decoupage to do is on small envelopes then I back them with tea dyed paper so they are little open out envelopes/journalling spots. There are always a few of those in my journals :)

[@elizabeththompson8859]

I did that, with my envelope too, to make those flip out envelopes that Natasha had in another tutorial. I didn't finish it because.....I was wondering what I could do with the background of the inside of the envelope! No I know!!!! Thank you, for your great idea!

Lovely ideas. I like decoupage with napkins, I've done some on both plastic and glass, both work fine using PVA glue. I decoupage the outside of the glass you get free with some mustard and chocolate spreads, they are just the right size for tea lights and with the light shining through look gorgeous. But remember, you can not submerse them in water once done, so wipe out the inside with a damp cloth if needed. Thankyou Natasa for more very useful, well explained ideas, you always come up trumps and I love listening to you.

As always I just love what you do. I've only been junk journaling for about a year and you were one of the first people that I started to follow and have influence me so much and what I do. I'm finally at a place where my journals are selling here and there just a few and it really is helpful for my very limited income. And that's why I watch you is because you use things that are available and are not spending a whole bunch of money on things. And yet you make the most beautiful things. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your talent and how you share it with all of us. I send blessings to you and your family and all those that you love. May you stay healthy and well in these trying times. And when I spend time with you I don't even think about the other things in the world that are not so good
