DIY Transparent Embellishments with Tea Bags

[@markschneider1445]

25:02 I just saw your video and haven’t been creative, your honesty made me cry, which is a good thing. I am going to my craft room right now and pulling some things out and find my creativity again just because you inspired me so much this morning. Thank you thank you so much

[@northerngardengirl]

Awwww it's so hard when our muse goes off on vacation and we are left behind stumbling through our creative process. When my Muse is present I truly crave creating! My new motto is "Create with Wild Abandon!" Ignore the outcome, just enjoy the process. Hope you have continued with your creative process!!

[@amethyst3687]

I’ve wanted to try making junk journals for a couple of years now but was so overwhelmed with the videos I’d seen. Then a few weeks ago I stumbled across your channel. You are so inspiring and explain things so well. You make sure everyone knows they can use whatever they have on hand and it doesn’t have to be a huge production to make something beautiful. I’ve now watched most of your video from the beginning till now. I also purchased the few little things I needed to get started. I have dyed paper, cutouts, napkins, ribbons, lace, everything I need to really start making my first journal. Thank you so much for inspiring and encouraging me to get to this point. I can’t wait to really dig in (when I find the time LOL).

[@joyjournal6157]

Welcome to the mad world of junk journalling! You'll never look at a cardboard box the same way again! 😂

[@amethyst3687]

@@joyjournal6157 I’m definitely saving up boxes and matching the colors on the back with things I want to add to it. I MAY have also stolen a couple books (they where already torn up somewhat) from my teenage daughter. 🤷‍♀️

[@shabbyrosecreationsbykem]

Yes you can definitely do it, I made my very 1st junk journal months ago. I used a cereal box and diet Coke box, for a cover. I have 3 signitures in my journal. I made several mistakes, but again it's my very 1st journal. I watched tons of videos, how to's. So I just went for it, now I'm excited to create a Halloween journal then a Christmas journal. Just have fun, take your time. You'll learn what works best for you and what dosen't. 😊💖

[@amethyst3687]

@@shabbyrosecreationsbykem Thank you. Thought now I’m trying to get some of the things together I’ll need. Waiting for napkins and tissue paper to dry now. Also finished my first tea dyed paper and envelopes. I think once I make a few tags I’ll be ready to jump into my first journal. I’m so excited!

[@visionsofheaven]

How exciting! I just started in June and I can't stop now. There is so much free stuff out there too. I used up old file folders, old placemats, old craft supplies, old office papers I'll never use. It's so fun! Enjoy :)

[@lindalawson6406]

I love this idea. I have stamped on tea bags before and cut windows in tags using them, but never thought of this process. I drink blueberry flavor tea and those tea bags turn blue and make wonderful bases for stamping.

[@deborahmoen3952]

Yes ! I sat here with a bit of a stiff neck and worried a bit about the world and I came upon this video, and it made me smile, laugh, and raise my eyebrows in amazement. I am filled with inspiration, so love how you express how your feeling and how you give hope if we get stuck. I have not a care in the world except to journey into making a Treasure Book. Wee !

[@bbquiltartist11]

Natasha you are a gifted mixed media artist and a great teacher. Your attention to detail is incredible.

Thank you so much 😊

This is AMAZING! I now can use the dozens and dozens of tea bag papers I've saved. I knew I was right to hang on to them. LOL

You are creative, brilliant & inspiring but you are also so dang funny (even if you don’t mean to be!). My favorite new quote: “so even if you think it’s crap and you hate it, at least you didn’t sit there and wallow in despair.” Definitely going into my journal. You’re such a joy!

[@HeavenlyTreasures7]

Thank you Natasa, for sharing your gift of creating something beautiful and unique out of the ordinary and unexpected! Even when you don’t feel like it, your gift shines through. Thank you for sharing ! Love 💜 this project!

[@vintagelyzzie]

Great technique. Normally, I put teabags in my garden cause I hate throwing them out. This is a great way to re-use them into something old and vintage looking.

[@cindymitchell5114]

TY Natasa!! I love how you prove that even when we're not feeling great,we CAN create! You lift my spirits,hope you're feeling better also

[@TreasureBooks]

Love that! Thank you so much!

[@karenjagodzinski6300]

I so needed to hear you talk about being in a rut. We are on day 12 of no power from hurricane Ian. I am definitely in a big rut. But now that I have watched your video today, you have inspired me to get up and just work on my JJ. You got me up instead of sitting in despair. Thank you for your positive words. God bless. Love the video

[@barbkniess3985]

Love the idea of stamping on the white tissue from the Napkin! Thank you!

[@ruthannepayler6969]

I enjoyed that too. Love napkins!

[@sandyfitchcorbett1782]

Yes! I love that. So much to try. Plenty white napkin leftovers.

[@rhondaw7792]

Yes! Me too my sister and I were just discussing projects to do with the white parts of the napkins.

[@PhyllisMoon]

I had the idea to stamp directly onto the teabag & it also looks great & even more transparent.

[@northerngardengirl]

I don't feel this was a bit of a waste of time. It is wonderful putzy work we can do when we are feeling a little less inspired. This way when we have more time or more inspiration we can easily pull out a couple of these and have them partially done. Simply paste in one step! Love that!!! Thank you again so much for how you create without limits or boundaries!

[@divinemischief4655]

'putzy' is a word I've not heard in years. It meant easy where I'm , (easy as in easy to do) 😃

[@lindadow5319]

This looks like so much fun, I love the results, especially the little journal. I thought another idea to use them is to tear a hole in your page a little smaller than the teabag piece, ink the edges, then glue the teabag piece into place, so you can see it from both sides of the page like a window. I hope you know what I'm getting at. xxx

[@JanieAlcove9]

I can never just watch Natasa's videos. I always have to stop to make notes, to save it on Pinterest on various boards (each for a specific reason), to order something for the demonstrated process, to text my daughter-in-law to reserve stuff for me (cereal box liners in the case of this video). The 3-tea-bags combined (with s alight overlap) to cover a larger image is brilliant. Stamping on the colorless plies of the napkin and making that into an embellishment is blazing (I just went ahead and ordered some similar stamps from AliExpress). The composition of 3 of the same pieces (hearts in this case) is dazzling. Thanks for sharing how that playing card fail led to the layered transparency success. Also I liked creativity in the video production itself, that entertaining heart-and-tea theme throughout: “Not everyone’s cup of tea” (about the vintage look made with tea bags), “I really have my heart set on a heart shape’…. “A bit of a broken hear there, we shell mend it”…

When a YT video causes you to stay up late & you're smiling from ear to ear, despite being so tired.😁🥱😁 Natasha is the best Mixed Media Artist I've found on the platform! 💖

[@karenmusa3052]

Just gorgeous, I've used tbags to decoupage before, always looks antique and authentic. It can be used for tablecloths and window coverings in miniature dioramas. Make old onion and potatoes bags out of them for your miniature kitchen too.. Thanku very much, freestyle is great fun.. It evolves as u go x

I tried these and I'M OBSESSED. These are SO fun to make and when they're dry, it's like magic pulling them off. The texture is fantastic. I don't have many napkins, so I stamped on some plain white ones and played with coloring with markers. Was great fun letting colors bleed and create a grungy look. Then went on ebay and ordered a few lots of napkins! Thanks for this! Your videos are great!

Was about to say _"Your teabags are _*_massive!*"_** before I realised it sounded like some kind of euphemism... 😂 This project is **_*fabulous,_* Natasha - thank you!! I'd no idea the tagged bags open out so big! We have a fabulous tea company here in the UK - *Clipper* - not only do they make the _best_ tea, but they pioneered the very first completely plastic-free teabag in 2017. I was shocked to discover that just ONE of those designer 'nylon' teabags releases *15 billion* micro- and nano-plastic particles into the cup, then into the drinker. 😔

Hi Natasha 😊 You’re so creative You always inspire me.. I’m not creative, but I desperately want to be😢 And watching you always inspires me to create even if I don’t believe I can Thank you❤

[@Danielle-nz9tn]

Oh, dear Natasha, I have benefited SO MUCH over the years from your uplifting outlook on creativity, with your playful focus on exploration and experimentation. I’m not sure how often I’ve told you-certainly not often enough!! Your focus on the importance of approaching creating as an experimental process rather than as a means to some predetermined end-point has transformed how I think about my ability to be a creative person. Of course, approaching an endeavor with curiosity and a sense of exploration is a helpful mindset for every aspect in life, not just our creative outlets, but this wisdom is so easy to forget under stress and during depression and anxiety. That’s when I start to think in black and white, like “if I don’t know what to do or don’t have much energy, I guess I can’t create anything,” which is SO self-limiting! Those are the most important times for me to do something creative, and just finding something to be curious about and then trying something to see what happens-that IS creativity!!! Sometimes I need to watch one of your videos to help me remember this. I also love how you share with us your thought processes and the things you get curious about and how you “accidentally” discovered new techniques, which invites us to pay close attention to, and even seek out, our curiosity as well. It means so much to me that I have some tears in my eyes as I’m writing this. I think you must be helping a lot of people change their lives in ways you may not even be aware, and I’m truly grateful for the generosity of your spirit, along with your impressive skills and talent ❤. Thank you so much for everything you do. I love your creations and ideas; I love listening to you speak; and your videos are such a comfort to me, like a warm cup of tea for the soul! ❤

[@AiSayuriChan]

That journal is so cool, Natasa! :D I actually started saving the tea bags after I used them for tea dyeing. I didn't know what to do with them exactly except for simply using them for decoration purposes or glueing them on images to make them look vintage. But your idea is even better! I'm excited now

[@cjsimplyscraps]

I had a feeling I watched this before and I did 2 years ago. I have to let you know that this past year I have found at least one brand of teabag makers, luzianne makes gallon teabags where one bag makes a whole gallon of iced tea. I’m sure you’ve probably seen the family bags before that you use 3 of these larger bags well this one for the gallon is even awesomeer( I don’t think that’s a word) because. I usually throw my wet teabags on a pice of cloth on the counter and the large ones seem to get darker on the edges. I think because there is more tea in the bag. If you haven’t tried them you will love them but no folded area to open an no strings. I live in the southeast US and that is the only brand I have found that makes them. Very inspiring this video. I always love your videos though♥️

If you’re worried about mold save the little desiccant packs that come in vitamin bottles. Throw them in a sealed container with the dried tea papers. They come in a lot of other products too. Even seen them in boxes with new shoes. Just be careful not to let little ones or pets get them. 😁

No I'm serious. I was once in a museum in south Germany (in Bietigheim-Bissingen) and they showed the works of new artists. One of them had a space with all kind of objects made with natural and rare materials, like a leather glove with 7 fingers and parts of chickenfeet sewn into to form claws. Or seashells with bookpages inside and catwhiskers and turtle shells, and amber glued to other things. It was so wild and stunning.

[@sharonhendricks9706]

Actually creating a junk journal is very intimidating to me. My creative side is a little interested but my impatient side is just that....impatient! BUT....I love how these pieces turned out. Absolutely beautiful. They're so surreal....and I suppose that depending upon the image used, could also be ethereal. What I see these being used for....in my particular case at least...is placing them on a piece of vintage looking paper or a book page, and framing them. Small little frames to use here or there, especially in an older or vintage type of frame. Or in card making for something very unique! Now THAT is how I will eventually try this technique of your! Thank you for making it look so simple
