I like all the things you made with the napkin papers and no critters lost their appendages.

[@Rhonda_Godsdaughter]

I just love watching your videos! I am losing sleep lol. Not complaining, my craftroom is my sanctuary away from the madness. I follow along with you, write in my devotion and pray here. Thank you for helping me find my passion again. Xoxo

[@lindapark8467]

Love seeing the napkins on book pages converted into pages for a journal with coffee dyed paper! I definitely can use this idea! Thanks so much!

[@patbrez3079]

Love all of them! A journal cover with the floral music paper..💕 👍❄️❄️❄️☃️

[@jackielubeck]

The stack of papers at the start of the video is great. Yes all of it together should be one big old journal. Jackie

[@debbiev.1311]

L💖VE these book pages & music papers decorated w/ napkins...cannot wait to make some!! 🌸🦋🐦 Use it up (T)uesdays are the BEST...TYFS!!🤗💖🤗

Good morning Gayle! All those colorful papers looked beautiful on your desk. Everything turned out awesome. Great craft with me video as always. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

luv those birdies. luv rounded corners, too. chomp, chomp!🦌💌❤️📚

[@marilynkeller4522]

My new motto, no paper or scraps left behind (we'll see how long it lasts) im going to finish up one project at a time that I have started . I have a tendency to start not finish & then can't remember what I was going to do with it. I just finished a pile It made 2 journals & now I'm working on the next pile. We are iced & snowed in for a good while so lots of crafting in the next few days! Thanks for all your encouragement & ideas!!

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

looking forward to making a baby journal, too, because I’ll be a great grandma to twin boys in July! 🦌💌👨‍⚕️📚

[@lynnsinclair123]

Love all these ideas for using napkin covered papers. The ones you did near the end of the video, with the colourful, tall flowers, would also have made nice belly bands. Thank you!

[@mskerriboberri]

Just a few minutes in and I’m so happy I’m not the only one. 😁

Very cute pieces and you got to use up quite a LOT! Yay!

[@laurettechandlerthevintage3022]

I loved all the pretty napkin music paper you had in your stash! They were all gorgeous! You came up with some really great ideas on how to use all of your stash there. So fun to use old things in a new way! Great job sissy! I was fussy cutting and crafting along with you again today! More crafting with you… 😊 or as close as I can get until this virus thing is under control and we can craft in person! Hugs! 🌸🤗🌸🤗🌸

[@enchanteddreams7166]

Hello sweet Gayle ! Happy Tuesday! Hope your all doing well! Hugs xoxo

[@AtSusiesCottage]

I loved seeing your ugly papers transformed! I’ve seen Tina do that too, such a brilliant idea Gayle tfs xxx💕

[@crystal13l]

You could create a bunch of covers and sell to your subbies...just sayin’ 😉. Double sided tape is also known as “tear” tape. I like to use a 1” square stamp block to burnish as you lay it down then use the edge of the block to tear at the end.

[@vixymartin3374]

Thank you! I’m watching and internally screaming to just tear it! 🤣 ♥️

[@lucyperry8422]

These music pages with the mod-podged napkins are beautiful, Gayle. I was so excited to find a big, big lot of old piano music booklets at a thrift store last fall. Some had the pianist's notes written on them. I'd like to jazz them up in some way instead of just using them as a straight journal page. This is a great idea.

[@lynnettemcelmurray4597]

These are so cute!!! Great in Boho as well!!!.. We’re having a new baby in June ,as well!!! Another boy!!! Ryker....guess a year of unusual names!!! Congrats to you and your family!!!😻❤️

Love the ide of modpodging napkins on old music paper, it looks amazing! ❤️

[@janerushton8263]

gorgeous makes, I've got to look out my napkin's, I always love how they work over book pages.

[@lynnecoleman1135]

I wish you would do the ugly paper again. That was fun. Deli paper would be cute bags.

[@dottygin]

I love your use it up Tuesdays, how you sort through your files. some very pretty pages and tags today. Them envelopes that wont stick, could they be sewn Gayle, hand sewed? if you pricked a few holes and do a running stitch. We cant have them thrown in the bin, just out of pure defiance, they cannot win, Gayle will win.!! lol lol xxxxx

[@lalagamma4452]

Great work you have some lovely pieces. I can see now it's not good to keep things too long. You get tired of something your taste changes all makes sense. 💜🤗🐞🥰💙

[@RondaWinsteadRondawithoutanH]

When using the double sided tape, you just need to burnish it with a bone folder both when you put it on before taking the tape off, and also after gluing the pieces together...hugs!!

[@MrsGigi]

So fun to see these use it up videos. Love the notepaper with napkin. Thank you for sharing. Hope you have a lovely week. Take care. 💜

[@annwoleben5439]

I realy enjoyed your session today. You accomplished so much and I like how you made use of all of the materials. I had to laugh when you were talking about not throwing anything away. I have "trained" my husband to bring me items before tossing them into the trash can.

[@PMartistStudio]

P loves making envelopes too. Crinkly paper is the best and yes I (M) love some double-sided tape it has definite uses, like holding magnets in place. Great tip on using a template for the cut... I hadn't seen that before.

[@karensumner3772]

LOVE EVERYTHING YOU MADE GAYLE-TFS-HUGS/BLESSINGS

[@carolpowerslavenderdreamsc1599]

Quite awhile ago you did a video putting napkins on papers. After watching that video I decoupaged napkins on everything I could find!! 😂 Love having a stash of these to use like you showed today. Have an awesome day!! 💜

[@kathrynhelm4176]

Well I admit I was wrong...when you said you could use the 12x12 purple page for envelopes I thought the colors were all wrong. Then when you finished I thought they were lovely little envelopes 🥰👍. The napkin panels on journal pages were gorgeous! What a productive and gratifying day for you and a fun and inspirational day for us. 🤗🥰

[@nancynorris9822]

I really like your crunchy envelopes! I've got to find some pretty napkins! TFS🤗

Such gorgeous papers Gayle!! I think I have many things I have forgotten in my room!!

Good evening Gayle, very interesting video . Very pretty tags .🌺🌸🌺

I do love watching you think n create n turning stuff into other cool stuff lol so inspiring my friend 🤗

Morning Tanna! ❤️

[@10151957june]

These are soooo cute, Gayle!!!

[@cathycrowder2226]

Good Morning Gayle! Another wonderful video. it's inspiring to see how you have to think out of the box to use up papers and such to repurpose them into something you can now use. I think we all have projects we started, put away and when we pull them out - what was I thinking? 1.If the static electricity is bad use a humidifier. Moisture in the air reduces the static electricity 2. Parchment paper is designed to be a non stick surface so no glues or tapes will work. Sew a strip of light weight paper on the envelope seams where one would place the glue. Then glue those edges together. I use typing paper.

[@beadpoet]

I love all those papers!!

[@Teresacraftshack]

When I use double-sided tape like what you’re using. I found for me it’s easier to put my hand inside the role. I feel like I have more control for where I want it to be. And then I just terret after it’s down. And then I rub it really good.

[@karenkolors3819]

Love using it UP! Great video!

[@annettedepete4314]

Thanks Gayle for sharing such a fun video😍🌴

[@freidagepner2370]

Love all your pretty papers. The first ones at the top of the pile would make a beautiful journal. I don’t remember which pile you put them in. But if you used them all as the pages in a signature. And then make ephemera out of some of the other pages you created. Wouldn’t that be beautiful. ❤️😊

[@sharonromer6606]

Loved the colors ❣

[@donnakinmn1683]

I love the double sided tape. When I put it down I just put my fingernail where I want it cut it and then tear it off. you don't have to use a scissor. that makes it much more cumbersome. the tape is made to be able to tear easily. I know it isn't for everyone but I like it because it really holds.

[@nancivessells1909]

I loved those pages. Wish you had some for sale, but then I'm never fast enough to get them...

[@WoodlandInspired]

Hello Gayle! I need to go through my stuff to I was mass making stuff years ago and just filed it away, time to pull it out. Thanks for the inspirations I needed it, take care!

[@marthamanigross]

Mornin Gayle. I was thinking, sewing coffee paper to the deli paper for the inside of some of the envelopes would help glue or tape stick. Not sure you’d want to take the time. Was also thinking for those music or book pages, you could glue the white second or third napkin layer to the back. Once dry, it would become a nice writing surface but could still see the print or music behind, and also repurpose the white parts that get ripped off. (I have a huge bag of the white bits from napkins and I refuse to throw them away so watching you helped me think of this...). P.S. put a bowl or pitcher of water in your room. It might help the static. Or keep a dryer sheet near you and wipe your hands on it, it’ll cut the static. We have humidifiers around the house.

[@schusterrn]

I was so grateful to have heard about the Care Hart organization (www.disabledartists.org) you had mentioned in an earlier video. I sent my repurpose items to them and received a lovely thank you. I now keep a box in my space and routinely put items in it as I complete a project. Please reference them once again so crafters can be aware of this wonderful organization as a resource for gifting their destashed items.

[@CoriDahmen]

Such a great feeling to have a fun, productive day! Those pieces are beautiful and will make a great addition to any journal. Strong work Gayle!!!

[@jesseb5112]

I'm at the very beginning of this video. I made a journal and put a bunch of my mixed media papers in it. I'm putting sketch paper in varying sizes, aka scraps, and will journal on them. I wrote on my first page today, and added decorative pieces this evening.

[@kathyanderson4126]

I love this video. It is a reminder of how beautiful decoupaged napkins look on book and music pages. Have a great day!

[@dianas.3185]

I love how you can just look at something and know exactly what to do with it!! 😊

[@rachellee.9389]

I don't know which I like more, Saturdays or Tuesdays! Maybe I'll just give up and decide I love them both equally. Or, like I used to say to my twins, I love you the greenest (to the one with green eyes) and I love you the bluest (to the blue-eyed one).

[@annehahn9240]

You have inspired me once again, I have had one of those envelope maker boards for years and have never used it! I am going to get it out and make envelopes today. Thank you Gayle for sharing all your beautiful creations!

The parchment paper is designed not to stick when baking cherry pie that bubbles over - delicious! I use E6000.🦌💌❤️📚

[@tamaradegen9123]

Hallo I already had the problem! I used hot glue and then ironed it again so that the glue is nice and smooth worked great! what also works very well is simply roughen sandpaper or nail files then any glue will work, often with, for example, mirror cardboard that is also smooth at the back, works great lovely Greetings from germany

[@LauraMe...]

I usually try to keep count of how many pieces you make in the hour but I really lost count today, it was definitely over a dozen! I was also thinking those pieces you cut off, like the yellow, they would be great pops of color in some snippet stacks. 🐥

Laura, please let me know if you are interested in making more doggie clothes. We took in a puppy that was 2 days old and she had a cleft palette. She has now had 4 surgery’s and is doing well but because she didn’t have her momma and siblings she never learned how to regulate her body temperature correctly. We live in Colorado and it can get cold here. She has been wearing hoodies I purchased on amazon this winter but I think this summer we might need lighter weight t-shirts for her because they really give her a security now too...

[@tanjarains3394]

I didn’t read through all the comments, so forgive me if someone else has already suggested this regarding the envelopes. But you could zigzag around the whole thing, and then when you glue it, you could glue or tape directly on the stitching. So, the stitching would stick together. That would probably work, but then again that seems like an awful lot of trouble. Lol

[@JamieLOVEUMOREJOURNALS]

Try Matte Gel Medium on the envelopes that won’t stick. That has always worked for me. It does need time to dry but it sticks everything I’ve ever struggled with.

[@uniquelylily1166]

Parchment paper has a silicone coating so nothing will stick while baking. You may have a problem getting anything to stick!

I’m not sure it you cut the papers square before trying the envelope maker. But I have struggled with my envelope maker and it’s important and a bit tricky to position the previous scored line with the pointy thingy in the maker because the pointy thingy is not pointy enough to be precise. But, hey, it’s all fine in junk journals. 🦌💌❤️📚

I have tried every type of glue plus double sided tape and glue runner in my craft room. No luck. If I find something I will let you know. I checked on Google as well. The only thing they suggested was spray glue but that would not work for smaller projects that you are doing. I think it would create a hot mess.
