Gayle you might want to try using Wunder Under fusible webbing & see which you like better... the webbing isn't bulky & it will not gum up your cutting tools! If I am hand tearing strips then I cut the webbing to size with a rotary cutter before ironing to the fabric, if I want straight edges then I will iron the webbing on a large piece of fabric 1st then use the rotary cutter to cut the strips. You can then iron the trim directly to your pages! If you are worried about scorching thinner/older papers or melting the trim just add a piece of parchment paper between the iron & the trim. Doublesided tape/score tape works great too and not as thick as the carpet tape. Having fun is what it is all about & you sure made me smile seeing how happy you were playing today!

[@donnapusti7859]

I love that triumphant chuckle you do when something works out well. Lol. Thanks for sharing this.

[@ritapirkey9840]

You are such an enabler! Now I need carpet tape. Cuz I have to make pretty things like you!!! Love it Gayle.

[@practicemakespretty]

Hello sweet Gayle! Wow!!! Fab idea turning these into washi, go you!!! Thank you for showing everyone how they can do it. Big big hugs to you!!!!

[@jansiehs2239]

Gayle, I love to go along with you on your forays with new techniques. FUN!!!! Now I need carpet tape too!! As Rita said, "you are an enabler"!!!!

[@barbaralaforge7492]

I use plain old score tape. It comes in lots of widths and is much easier to use. Much thinner and does not gum up your scissors. I’ve been making it for over a year.

[@barbaralaforge7492]

It’s scor tape. Spelled it wrong.

[@petomine1565]

I make it that way too & also I use Wunder Under fusible web iron on too... easiest to deal with & less likely to come through the fabric since it is made for fabric

[@suzanneinohiosuzannecogar2110]

Pet Omine .....Me, also, ..I use a generic form of wonder under for soooo many things. It a wonderful way to adhere fabric to paper/ card stock.

[@petomine1565]

@@suzanneinohiosuzannecogar2110 I don't always use Wunder Under LOL I juust use any light weight fusing. I just thought more people know what Wunder Under is.

[@jessjtadesigns]

Pet Omine thanks all you guys for great tips for newbies like me!

[@Therivergypsy2023]

I have literally been making this washi for a really long time ever since I saw amity blooms collection :) I thought.. hmm how can I make this?! And then went to Home Depot and got the tape,so glad to see others using carpet tape for fabric washi 🥰 instead of paying outrageous amounts! You can use 3m repositioning mounting tape too!

[@debbiestherapy]

If you are up for some mess, the tiny strips are fun to put fine glitter on. The glue really grabs it and if you put the backing strip over the glitter and burnish it it doesn't come off. Just a fun accent. 💗Debbie

[@junegarcia6900]

Thanks for sharing this Gayle am pretty new to all this but am learning and enjoying it. 🤗

[@dawncecil7677]

3M makes a really good double sided roll of tape that I've been using on material for years. Also coating the back of material with white glue and letting it dry , then cutting it to a ribbon shape or whatever works too. You do have to use glue to put it on the paper edge though. I do so enjoy you and your videos.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

My Dad’s name was Cecil. Seeing your comment made me think of him....thank you! ❤️

[@suebennett8103]

I love your videos so much! Look forward to each one and all the good ideas. Thanks so much for sharing your time with us.

[@Doworm.designs77]

Cool. This is going to be a marvelous addition to my stock of supplies.

[@conneeboulmay3431]

Oldie, but goodies!!

[@Loftusgirl]

Love this idea. Guess who is going to Home Depot tomorrow?!! Beautiful fabric Gayle, these will be beautiful in your journals.

[@marieecrupper9560]

I am completely in love with this idea!!! I was watching the LGB for Double Digit video today, saw the fabric washi tape you used from Amity Bloom, and went looking on google for a tutorial for making my own, and I was so excited when I saw you show up in the search. AND the video was posted today. I’m so glad I coincidentally waited until today to watch the Double Digit LGB video. I’d have been stuck watching someone else’s video to see how to make it. And I have to admit you are my favorite person to watch. Great job on figuring it out!!!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank you, Marie!! ❤️

[@margarethogan6413]

I love your videos, and the way you explain how you are doing things.

[@purplepixie274]

I would only use the carpet tape to cover books, and make sure the fabric isn't too thin, like cotton quilt, as over time the adhesive may seep through and yellow. It's meant to hold thick carpet for years. So I'd use a close weave canvas, outdoor fabric, leather, wool-tweed or upholstery fabric.

[@carolynboykin-fyelifeinreview]

Hi Gayle, I ordered some 5 inch wide double stick tape from Amazon to make washi tape. I’m always so glad to see your new video. It’s just hard to find some fabric that have a smaller print on it. You can also put the tape on some napkins, lace and/or ribbons.

[@rhondacalderone862]

I am an absolute mess with carpet tape! I just ordered another tape to try this with. I found it to be frustrating! You have a way of being so tidy that I absolutely envy! I've decided that if I'm not enjoying the process, I'm not going to do it! LOL!

[@marymaisch4225]

Every time I hear your voice I think ..."ahhhhh, here is another awsome video" . Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

[@joank8370]

I use carpet tape to reinforce journal spines so I have a large roll on hand. I tried this and I love it! My tape is a cheaper one and not quite as sticky which works very well. My next try with this will be frankentape. It's so addicting! Thanks for the share!

[@helenascott389]

More lovely ideas. TFS. 😻

[@craftingmamaberne3776]

Oh I loved this video. I have loads of beautiful material that I'd love to be able to use as you have done but I've never thought of using the tape before. TFS xx

[@MissDaisyParsley]

Great idea! I never thought of using carpet tape!

[@nicolettemcclure2584]

Thank you for making this video. I always wanted to know how to make fabric washi tape.

[@DianeHubertPrettyPinkCottage]

love this idea, Gayle!

[@cynthiamostacato7894]

Very pretty Gayle....I have some of that tape in my craft room, it is left over from when I put the carpet tiles in my room. Mine is wide too so when I try it I will have to cut it too. Thanks for the video and enjoy the next round of Grandkids!

[@jbeaudi]

Now I know what I can do with my carpet tape. I bought it years ago thinking it will come in handy some day! It's the thinner type, I'm going to be busy making fabric washi tape tomorrow! Thanks for sharing!

[@TLowens]

Love the carpet tape!

[@georgiewalker1069]

Such fun Gayle. Have you used emptied and dried used tea bags before? You iron them once dry and then stick them together to make belly bands or you can make an entire page of glued or stitched tea bags. You can then embellish them however you like ... stamping etc and it’s just a lovely texture and something different 🇿🇦

[@sharongruener5942]

Wowsa, that was a fun Idea Gayle! TFS

[@ChicagoDreamer5]

What a great idea! Thanks for this.

So pretty! I use my Xyron to make tape also and double sided tape. It is fun!

[@dianamccay7276]

What a great idea, Gayle!! Your daughter is going to LOVE this precious journal!! As always, thanks for crafting with us! 😊

[@lalagamma4452]

Another great idea Gayle I love all your suggestions. The wonderful stories you share make it so much fun. Like visiting a dear friend. Wuvs ya tons!!! ❤xo💜xo💙xo💛xo💖xo💚

[@creativityinspireddaily]

Gail this was a very cool video. Thank you for sharing!!

[@sr.simongrosicka]

Yes, it is pretty and it is fun! Now I need some carpet tape lol

[@butterflymagicwithhottea9291]

Very nice. I think I would adapt this with a thinner double-sided tape. For years, I have just been using glue for adding lace and fabric to my journals and it has worked well.

[@nynurse2]

Sooo Beautiful! Im gonna try this!

[@coloradoblueskiesboutique7720]

Gayle,I think you would like Peel and Stick by Therm O Web. It’s comes in sheets and is very flexible for cloth. For the carpet tape use a cutting blade, will work easier than your scissors. Use your left overs for trim. Great idea on using this tape.

[@emmkaa2099]

(Isn't Good Gone great??!!?? I get mine at the .99c store... the bottle's not as big as yours but, like you said, it lasts a long time). I just found homemade washi tape a couple hours ago and now I find you making fabric washi?? Wow! My son works in flooring at Home Depot - what a coincidence - and I'll have him pick up a roll romorrow👏. Thanks for the great idea. With love from the Southern California desert, MK

[@freidagepner2370]

How awesome is that!!!!

[@melissakinnear828]

Headed to Home Depot, be right back!! Yay! A fairly easy way to make your own fabric washi. Dennis has such pretty fabric too!!

[@barbaraoliver1016]

Thanks for sharing how to make fabric tape.

[@pamketron]

I wondered how long it would be before you made your own! This method works great for any size fabric width. The black lines turned out to be a great benefit of the product. Great job Gayle! Love it. You could also make small blocks to embellish and then stick to the page. Possibilities are endless my friend. 🌷🦜

[@patbrez3079]

You can also use Duck Brand Double-Sided carpet tape, saw that it’s less glue, much thinner. Great idea to use with Fabric. Hardware stores carry the carpet tape too. Great video! TY 🙂

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

That’s what I get for sending my husband to get it! 😉❤️

[@MrsGigi]

Thank you for this idea. 💜

I cant wait to try this!!tfs🤗🤗💜💜

[@veronicawhite398]

Love these ideas, Gayle. Great for us newbies to journaling.

[@crickettjd]

I am loving this, what a fantastic idea!!! Maybe try an exacto knife or box cutter to cut it an see if that is easier.

[@nadyasharp7609]

I use 2 inch double sided tape. Can get it on amazon, 55 yards for 12.99. This is a great idea! Thank you for sharing!!

[@syllydaisy5412]

your last video using the fabric washi I wondered how it was made...now I know...thank you for experimenting and showing us how it works...I will be getting carpet tape to do fabric spines on my mini albums...love your videos...thank you, again...

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Gayle that’s awesome and perfect!!!!!! What a fabulous idea 💡. And those fabrics are stunning aren’t they. Thank you so much xxx Mags

[@crafterintherough]

Very cool idea!😍

[@marthamanigross]

Hi Gayle! I didn’t read through all 99 comments before mine, so I don’t know if anyone else has mentioned, but if you keep a straight pin nearby, you can fringe the ends of fabric really quick and easy. 🙂. I’m also pretty sure they make double sided carpet tape in a lot thinner tape - thinner as in not so dense. Almost like regular tape thin but a wide width.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Sent my husband for the carpet tape...so in that case, I get what I get! Haha! I’ll look for thinner next time I go to Home Depot with him! ❤️

[@marthamanigross]

@@gayleagostinelli_ct Believe me, I understand! LOL I did find a 5 year old video on YT that shows the thinner tape and I know I have some downstairs (basement) so I'll have a play too. Thanks for experimenting!

[@LaughingDogsBookNook]

Love the fabric tape can't wait to try this method. I think this will be a fun way to add texture and color to pages! Thanks for sharing!

20K subscribers!!!! congratulations!!! aren't you clever! double sided carpet tape! it's nice that it has paper on other side to make for later! love me some Goo Gone! i can get away with alcohol wipes for glue, but Goo Gone does great with tape residue. How fun to have the option to turn trims and fabrics into washi tapes!!! i'm always looking for "art supplies" when i tag along with hubby to Home Depot, Harbor Freight, etc. well done Gayle!! tfs 👍

Great idea! Thank you for sharing. I'm a card maker and I think this will work on them. ~ Bonnie

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I’d definitely look for thinner tape than I used here for cards. My husband got me this tape, but I’m going to hunt for thinner tape. ❤️

[@marysumundodepapel8595]

Hola Gayle le e puesto en un video que todos me parecen fantasticos ,pero este me a sorprendido mucho creo que me da la impresion que no conocia hacer tus guasiteis con tela ,me a dado esa sensacion por su satisfacion cuando lo a puesto yo hace mucho que los utilizo pero yo uso un producto de doble cara que no queda tan rijido esmas fino y tu lo corta a la medida que quieres utilizar,es mas ancho y es con lo que aqui en España utilizamos para hacer los cuadros con arenas de colores ,pero quiero decirte que tus tejidos son preciosos,besos dede España

Wow that is awesome! Carpet tape on my shopping list. Thank u for sharing 😍

[@brendasweetapple7444]

Love this idea..:). I have seen a thinner carpet tape, less gooey so I'm going shopping for that now. Maybe the dollar store..:D

[@pattoodle]

Love this idea!!! If you rub your scissors across your VersaMark/Watermark pad the blades won't pick up the sticky from the carpet tape. My instructor Diana taught me that years ago

[@tuthillg]

Great idea! Love the fabric trims! TFS, Gayle!

[@craftydawk.janettedawkins7516]

Great idea 🥰 put ribbon on the tiny strips

[@bonniesbeautifulchaos1763]

How funny! Hubbies try their best, but sometimes they don't share our visions. I sent mine out for the small, thin button magnets to use for closures. He came home with 2 packs of different sizes of the fat round magnets. I didn't have the heart to tell him they were the wrong ones 😖 he tried, and that's what I love about him! I love the fabric washi, but I think I will wait until I am healed and can drive to get the carpet tape 😉 Thanks for giving me another project to try! By the way, I dont mind watching you 'fuss around' and find myself talking out loud with you!

[@reddragun43]

Thank you for sharing. This is a great way to attach fabric.

[@rochellewithers2234]

Clever idea! I'm wondering if it could be used as the outside cover, along the spine, to bind a book, like on your LGB. hmm...?? I may give it a try! 😊 Thanks for sharing!

[@brandythompson6544]

I thought that same thing- immediately!! LOL I knew I wouldn't be the only one- thought I would search through comments really quick to see if anyone else had this same idea- and wah lah!! Here it is - shining idea!!

[@nadianardini7513]

Great idea Gayle. We all have lots of trim in our stash😁 This is another great way to use them. Tfs. xxx

I adore Amity Bloom! She just has that special something! I am finally making the LGBs you ladies have beeb doing! Better late then never! Xoxo Dawn

[@sagearwen]

Gayle when speaking about the dimensions of the fabric and tape you have width and length. So the tape is wider than normal double sided tape. The fabric strips you are using are thinner or wider widths.

[@MiadeFleur]

Thank you so much for doing this. I saw that same video and bought carpet tape last week at Wal*Mart to do the exact same thing -- I really like the frayed edges, as well. That young girl does simply amazing work -- now if I can just find the carpet tape bag, I'm going to try making my own -- be well, Patricia

[@chiyosmith2790]

How Fun! Try spraying Pam on your scissors before you cut. It should help.

[@elizabethkerckhoff1259]

Hi Ms.Gayle, I just started watching this, and now I have to go to Home Depot before I continue watching. But I wanted to give you a suggestion. Before you take the backing off the tape, score it between the black lines so it will fold easier. I'm going to try it when I get started watching this. Hugs Ms.Gayle!!! Xoxo~Liz~

[@lynnecoleman1135]

great idea. I learn soooo much from you. thank you!

[@judywest5556]

Great idea! I got some carpet tape at Walmart and have used it to attach cloth on covers of some junk journals. The carpet tape I get wasn't quite as wide...besides being sticky on scissors...it's awful to sew...take it from me!!!! I learned my lesson!

[@WoodlandInspired]

Thank you for sharing this Gayle, I want to try this.

[@kathylahring7071]

Love your videos...I have just tried Atemto double sided carpet tape and it works wonderful. I watched a video "How to make fabric tape with Camille Roskelley of Thimble Blossoms/Fat Quarter Shop". She did link the carpet tape in her video. I will have to admit I do look forward everyday to your videos. You are a great source of inspiration. Hugs from Arizona
