I am so blessed to have found you two years ago ❣️❣️ My darling …, you’re the BEST***

[@skp8738]

Natasha, I love your fearlessness when crafting and your motto of “just why not”

[@thebudgetbee9694]

Awe! Banjo is precious!

[@hubbysswee]

If I may, I’d like to take a moment to congratulate you on the success of your book! A number 1 bestseller! WOW! 🎉🍾👏 You **deserve** it Natasha! Today another unique project, one many never would’ve thought of. Thank you for sharing yourself with all of us.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you a million!!!

[@laurelwilkinson2594]

I think your "mindless creation" is more mindful than you believe, and very much intuitive. And I love how "this sort of stuff" is more specific than "what we do". I so enjoy listening to you, as much as I enjoy watching the creative process. And I am inspired. Thank you!

[@willowrish]

Bless your heart Natasha! 💞💞💞

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so very much :)

[@sandrasheldon5407]

This looks like so much fun. Thanks for the idea.

[@KimVictoria-Artist]

Tip #1: I usually layer wax paper between skins and keep them in a box. Tip #2: If only a small skin is desired you can make it on the inside of a lid from things like cottage cheese and it is easy to peel off when thick enough. Tip #3: Paint a layer of acrylic matte medium, let dry, and then put the colors on top, which make the skin easier to peel off and a bit sturdier. I haven't made skins specific for using these ways, as usually skins are the result of my dried palette after acrylic painting. It will be fun to make them deliberately. I love the cheesecloth idea, too, and must try that. Thank you for all these great ideas for using them.

[@MonaLisa-xc5dm]

Thank you ❤

[@purplejanew]

That journal cover is amazing! Thank you so much for showing us your imagination working in the wild!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much!

[@lericamims]

You are a great artist!

[@carmelgerdsen2399]

Love this idea

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you! 😊

[@susanavenir]

Edit: My way of finishing work that includes acrylic paint is with a little Dorland's Wax. Just grab a piece of kitchen roll and rub a little bit of the wax across the piece and gently buff it off. It doesn't add shine, it just eliminates the stickiness. BUT that has to be the last step. The wax will resist new layers of most mediums. If a skin I'm making rips, I just get a new one going with a layer of wet paint and lay the torn one on top, either matching the main color with the fresh paint or ripping the skin more and placing it on a new color or colors. Let dry - yes, 48 hours! - before peeling again. Original comment: It's always such a pleasure to see a new video from you pop up in my notifications. Thank you for all the work you put in on our behalf! Edit 2: I love your ideas for using skins. THAT DRESS ! ! !

[@candycandy4357]

I like addicted to your channel... Can't stop watching your art work whenever I hv some free time recently. Thanks for ur sharing..

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much 😀

[@junkjournalsbyjen]

What a creative project! Thank you!

[@brookerohleder6769]

I love the skins❤

[@chicvintagegifts6335]

[@RobinMay-g4u]

I LOVE your video project - so inspiring. Thank you !

[@sushanart]

Cool technique and great results! Will try it! Banjo is adorable! 😇💖🙏🙌

[@patriciagechei8145]

Ingenius idea! Love what you do with your creative mind. Thank you for all you share with us. Great way to use up the way-too-much paint my grandkids put on the pallette.

[@claireskey5439]

Dear Natasha 😍This is why I love your channel. You're old school! No fancy stuff! And if you don't have a spatula, I use the cheapest plastic knife available. Tip, baby powder or talc does work to help the paints not to stick. I learnt this from Jennibellie and Helen Wells, over in the UK.🇬🇧😁 Happy crafting, neighbour , hugs to Banjo🐕🇦🇺💕

[@janetvisochi-baum7572]

i absolutely love the journal covers and the buttons - i remember making acrylic skins lol - time to play again - the Love Letter journal cover is so beautiful - Natasa i would like to thank you for giving us a quick look at Banjo - Like myself i am sure many of your viewers are Furry Lovers - it makes me feel good inside to see him so loved and so secure and so happy - i hope things have calmed down - he is beautiful - thank you again for rescuing him - blessings xx

[@donnanichols993]

I just received your book. What I really love about all your ideas is that you don’t need to purchase anything. You find beauty in everything. Using colors and tags that I would not use together, but you make them look perfect together. Love your work!!!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so very much!! Please leave me a review on Amazon if possible :)

[@brittahansen8688]

What a wonderful new idea! I happened to peel of a layer of dried acrylic paint off my paint palette, but didn´t have the idea to do it on purpose, like you did. You are so inventive! It´ s a great gift. I´m so happy to have found you on youtube and take part in the fabulous adventures you invite us to. Lots of love, Britta 🥰

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much Britta :)

[@rickiquilt]

Amazing.....as always!!!

[@thebudgetbee9694]

You've probably heard this 1000 times but I really appreciate the way you show us what each video is about right at the very beginning. I love your videos and your wonderful ideas. God bless you and your family!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much :)

[@jeanm.peterson6890]

You are ALWAYS amazing me, N. I have a list of 86 - now 87 embellishments. I know there are probably 100 more. :D These are so very beautiful. Thank you.

[@TreasureBooks]

Hehe I love it, thank you :)

[@juliaderr6616]

You are a wonderful artist and your videos are always so much fun to watch. Thank you for sharing your ideas with us.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much!

[@3rdeyeopen802]

So fun! 👍❤️

[@jeraldbaxter3532]

Brava!! There is a project that I have wanted to create, but was not sure how to go about it; an hour ago, I watched Ceri the Crafter's latest video and the technique he used is one that will help me. Then, this video pops up and in the first few minutes, I realize your technique will give even great detail to my project. So, thanks to you and Ceri, i can now tackle my dream. Thank you!!

[@nancyculhanehoag7936]

Love this idea!!! Can't wait to try it!

[@bonnieingram3757]

You are truly talented. Everything you make is superb!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much!

[@jayneterry8701]

I am inspired every time I visit this channel! Ty so much. Banjo is a sweetheart 🐶😊💗 Never stop " just playing around " 🩷

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much!

[@paulahale3943]

Fabulous ♥️

[@dh7217]

Have been making and saving acrylic skins for years. I keep them on page protectors in 3 ring binders for all kinds of projects. So nice to create the color combos needed or just for FUN. IF the glue portions of the paint mix is a little high they WILL stick together. Gently use heat gun or hair dryer to warm up for flattening and peeling apart. Too much heat bubbles/melts it. Spray a Clear coat to finish pieces. Thank you for the cheese cloth idea!! That is a leveled up method. Great for stabilizing the paint.❤❤❤ Hope things are better with you and the sweet pup.

[@ciscokid0110]

Me too

[@kristinavanburen8670]

Got my new set of acrylics out and I'm doing some. Did not know about this process. Thank you for sharing. Amazing!

[@TreasureBooks]

That's the way! Have fun :)

[@tanyaprobstfield6289]

Beautiful idea. I have bottles and bottles of acrylic paints that are drying up and going to waste. Thank you for your creativity.

[@iikidzmomMine]

Wow that is stunning! It looks like a very expensive piece ❤

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you! 😊

[@danacolosimo5874]

Wow love these, sooo cool 😍❤️ can’t wait to give it a try 😊 thank you for sharing😘🇨🇦

[@TreasureBooks]

Have fun!

[@Gretchen_T.]

I will be making some skins very soon. I love this idea!!!

[@beckyriley2406]

Love this collage! So interesting.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thanks so much!

[@lucyfanning7496]

Wonderful project.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you!

[@PattyMoor3]

I love this idea. You always have such creative ideas and examples. The trick with cheesecloth is wonderful, it really makes it more like fabric. Now I wish I had collected the drips of some paint pouring projects I did with my granddaughter. Thanks again for a fun project!

[@joang.cavanna2046]

I love the lady piece. It's awesome! Her skirt is amazing.

[@victoriad7678]

I love all your ideas what did you make today and thanks for sharing it with us.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you! 😊

[@gurkmeja2021]

Haha ha, you make me laugh, Natasa - you're so cool! 😆 GREAT ideas! 👍 /Ditte 🤓 🇸🇪

[@BobbieHarwell]

Love the book cover. You are so talented❣️

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@evelynrauseo467]

This is just a fabulous idea,! Love your projects and can't wait to try this for myself. TFS. 🥰🙏

[@TreasureBooks]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@Veronim78]

Thanks for sharing how to make and use Acrylic paint skins. Love the Journal cover you made and other projects. Few years ago I did a little piece of same acrylic paint color but never did anything more creative or used it. Forgot all about it till now. Yours turned out gorgeous.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much!

[@sherryvanderpool8644]

I must try this ❤

[@colleenpedder5715]

First I did my first skin while you chatted away to me, Second thankyou for being amazing and third I am so excited, I have your book on its way to me.

[@kirstenlockemann1819]

It's sooo wonderful! I love every part of your ideas...I have no words☺️

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much 😀

[@pathackler4606]

Thank you, love this idea.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much :)

[@jackyfreeman5530]

Could you use grease proof paper, or maybe baking paper? Lovely to see Banjo! How is he settling in now? I got a new rescue dog, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel,4 weeks ago and he's going really well.❤❤❤

[@rachellee.9389]

Rescues are THE way to go!

[@elter1979]

Thank you very much for sharing this project with us Natasha, I will definitely make some of this skins. it is beautiful.

[@TreasureBooks]

Have fun! Thanks for watching :)

[@suzannederoth7833]

Before watching this video I planned to repaint and use a couple old poured paint canvases for journal covers. I think I'll just "re-pour" 😊.

[@123uschie]

I have tried the cheese cloth one but was looking for ideas where to use and you have given me that❤Thank you !

[@caroltanzi29]

A very clever idea. Oh, I went to Barnes & Nobles to buy your book two weeks ago. They didn’t have it. Yesterday, I called to see if they got it in, still not at their warehouse. She said call back again. This Barnes and Nobles is in San Mateo, California, USA. I felt I needed to tell you. I have no idea how long these things take, however, I think this is useful info for you to know. Carol from California

[@rachellee.9389]

My twins discovered acrylic skins over 25 years ago when they were just out of toddlerhood. I think they accidentally spilled paint, or maybe glitter glue, on something unexpected that had a plastic-like/waxy coating (a shoebox lid of some sort?). They ended up peeling off the dried paint/glue and I still have blobs of ornaments that I put on the Yule tree every holiday - shows how long they last. What a great reminder of an old accident, Natasa!

[@MarieWest-tbic]

Yes! It's Saturday! Now, to get past the ads! Can't wait!

[@CherryBerry48]

oh my goodness you make the coolest things!!! too bad i dont have any paints on me, or i would be knee deep in that project!!

[@sfalco556]

Wow! Great idea. I just happen to have found a few tubes of acrylic paint in a box. Guess I have to give this a try now. Tyfs❤

[@TreasureBooks]

Have fun!

[@thepickypainter9854]

I need to stop commenting before I see the entire video lololol !! You covered everything I said. Lolo Sooo many ways to use it !!! I’m thinking mixed media paintings is what I would use it for but it could work as journal toppers,even jewelry pieces !

[@TreasureBooks]

Hehe thank you so much :)

[@mrsdscraftdesk]

The science teacher in me is loving the space cover! The journal maker in me loves the butterfly. And the seamstress in me loves the buttons. I’m just in love with the concept!!

[@TreasureBooks]

Hehe I love it, thank you!!

[@sandypeppers6861]

New subscriber here and I have to say I love the way you teach.

[@TreasureBooks]

Awesome! Thank you and welcome aboard!

[@jjournaldiva]

Words can't describe how amazing this is!

[@brookematthews4431]

Love this. You never cease to amaze me with all of your ideas. I so enjoy your unfiltered talks to us as well. Thank you again for everything

[@Nallyella]

I absolutely love how your mind works... from absolutely nothing you crate masterpieces... Stvarno savrsenstvno!!!

[@TreasureBooks]

Hvala puno!!!

[@Jenishka]

Like a milk carton or any sachet will work .... i use to use it to make decals w nail polish

[@crystaldavis9606]

Thank you...your such a inspiration...also, would like to share with you, something I figured out...took a big box.,.cut all the way through on the folds...used a heavy duty letter opener and went under the paper layer covering box....ended up with big huge sheets of strong paper....not the card board ,just the top paper covering on the box... it's nice

[@TreasureBooks]

Awesome!

[@clairegagne6906]

Oh my Natasa! What a great idea. I need to give this one a try. I love the pink one very much. My next choice would be the one you made with us, beautiful. Thank you for a peek at Banjo. Hope he's doing better. He has a great home & will be loved. Be well, be safe & TYFS

[@rosemorales3135]

I just love your sound effects 🫶🫶🫶✌️✌️✌️🤘🤘🤘🐾🐾🐾

[@margaretandersen9914]

I love the way everything's a sensory experience for you. Even your voice is a sensory experience!

[@MamaRazz]

I spotted the 2 air bubbles and the weak spot at the top. Thanks for pointing this out

[@LeisaBrower-m6o]

I absolutely love your creativity! You give me great inspiration!

[@shirleymalatino9474]

Fantastic!!!! Again you have the best imagination, keep them coming. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them. Thank you.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much!

[@louisetripoli6831]

Yes! I've done this, not in my journals but in my mixed media paintings and art journals. Thank you for sharing and sparking my memory.

[@terricorbett468]

Love this idea!! You are so creative it amazes me!! Btw, loving your book!!! I’m marking it up like my college course books!! You are the treasure!❤❤

[@IceCreamCarla]

I like the cheesecloth texture!! Could you paint a skin on an embossed surface for cool texture? I may try that!

[@JSeventy2Design]

Wonderful video! I make paint skins for jewelry, collages, and the pieces that are thin I allow it to rip organically as I’m peeling and use it on a thin wood piece for a book plate. It’s so addictive lol. I love how you’ve used yours. Thank you for another great video. ❤

[@ciscokid0110]

I use paint skins for lots of projects, including jewelry. They amaze me😊❤️

[@janetanderson8719]

Like a lot of viewers on here, I also did and abundance of “pour painting” and let the paint run off the sides of the canvas onto a plastic bag that I had opened to catch my overflow. Now, I think back to what a waste….. I could have had hundreds of “Paint Patches. If only I had found you first😂❤

[@kimweaver8485]

I love this idea and I am going to try this idea

[@alexiane250]

to prevent mine from sticking to the other side i'm planning on using vellum or the faux rice paper I made using your tutorial (I use quite white napkins and so they have a lot of transparence to them). I'm also hoping because those are smooth surfaces there wouldn't be much for the acrylic to stick to

[@evelynhughes951]

Amazing! Beautiful ❤️

[@blackcoffeeandwildflowers]

What a fabulous inspiration! Never made these before, but will definitely be making some now! Hugs 🤗❤️

[@kerenvalentin7082]

Brilliant! That was an awesome project, you amaze me how your ideas just keep flowing. You are a creative genius! Some of us would have never thought of doing something like that. I love, love the one with the feather and the post cards, that one is beautiful. Your book is on the way and I can't wait to read it. Stay safe!!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you very much!

[@BobbieHarwell]

I just love this process. So beautiful colors. Do u think it would work on old photos that aren’t liked? Thanks for sharing. Nice work❣️

[@tamimartine8441]

I made skins years ago for jewelry. Hasn't thought of them for years! So fun, and beautiful projects as usual, Natasa!

[@Bonparsco]

This is excellent! I've made the exact type skins using nail polish. Once the skins are dry you peel them off the plastic and apply them to your nails. It makes your nails look like they have marbled paint on them. I have a video showing how I did it.

[@TreasureBooks]

Wow, I have to try that!!!

[@maureenwilson6951]

Oh my I knew pain could skin but never seen this b4 and using it this way how absolutely fabulous guess I will be trying this out thank you ❤

[@suearcher8708]

What a fun and slightly messy project! My favorite kind.

[@beccimcclain4782]

I have been making skins while on vacation in beautiful New Mexico. I have also been collecting bird feathers, pine bark, small branches, etc. to use with the skins and throughout a journal. Do you have a tutorial on preserving natures bounty or know of someone that uses such in their journals? The bark is about the thickness of 80# card stock and will tear easily. Love your book! As someone said, it will become the Bible of journaling. Thanks in advance.

[@lynneswanson5803]

Fantastic project yet again! My book should be arriving about the 25th August I can’t wait to flip through! Your creativity astounds me every time. Thankyou so much for all of your hard work and miraculous ideas. Kiss Banjo for me.. Lynne (Northeast England) 💐🌈

[@shellywhite1929]

It absolutely makes me want to go do it RIGHT NOW!! lol. I'm currently on another project, however, since there's drying time, I don't see any reason not to pause and make some skins, and then back to my cover and binding. TY DOLL! your such a delightful soul! Luv u ❤

[@TreasureBooks]

Hehe I love it :)

[@Pamsartplace]

I can’t wait to make and play with paint skins! Thank you for being so willing to share your creative ideas and projects ❤

[@TreasureBooks]

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching :)

[@loribecker4403]

Thank you Natasa for sharing your creativity, humor, inspiration and kindness. I GREATLY appreciate it!!!!

[@TreasureBooks]

Wow, thank you so very much, this is hugely appreciated :)

[@nazmachowdhury4660]

I got some paint skins from my artist friend who does paint floats projects. I used as a collage or on a pocket. Instant beauty. Those are amazing Thanks for sharing your idea

[@TreasureBooks]

That is awesome!

[@rgp1218]

Looks like so much fun! I am definitely going to try this! Thanks for showing fun unique ideas for our journals!

[@barbaragrace1992]

Have you tried adding a little wood glue to the paints to make it more stable when youre using it ?

[@kellyhards8828]

First, I have to say - I LOVE your book, and congratulations on making Best Seller! Second, I have to say that your journal cover is stunning! Especially for doing it "on the fly"! You are SO talented 😍💖🤩

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much! Please leave me a review on Amazon if possible :)

[@DRC4547]

I love this! Have you used acrylic ink in collaboration with paint? The colors are vibrant & stay vibrant as theyre made with pigments.
