Thank you for some great tips. The only thing I would add is to use a bone folder, old credit card or brayer to smooth out the bubbles when applying the foil to the adhesive sheets.
Just an FYI -- Crafty Critta in Australia sells COLORED toner sheets, so you're not just stuck with black. I still like the idea of being able to use waste foil on patterned paper, though, so this was definitely helpful. Thanks!
Yes - as I've shared with many of the comments here, Therm-o-Web is the maker of Heat & Bond - which comes in various strengths and is usually used for sewing. The Heat & Bond light works just like the hot melt sheets, and may be found at a lower price point at your local fabric store! Unfortunately, many crafters don't have access to a color laser printer to print out their own toner sheets, and rely on industry ones that typically only come in black on white, kraft, or clear.
Wow, this is sooo helpfull, I wish I could give you a thousands thumbs up 👍👍👍 At first the heat melting sheets were a little hard to find on Amazon but I managed. Thanks so much for your awesome spot on instructions and your wounderfull results of using up the leftovers.
Thanks for the love! I'm glad that you found the tips and technique helpful. Here's another tip: If you happen to have any sewing products sitting around - Heat n Bond (also by Therm-o-web) is basically the same product. It's a no-sew fuser. You might get it cheaper by the yard (or in package) as Heat n Bond. The Heat n Bond Lite seems to be about the same weight. Either way - have fun!
@@NicoleWattCreates Thank you so much for the additional product ideas, I will check them out (as I am not a passionate sewing person the approach to glue rather than sew resonates with me too 🤭)
I was just thinking.....could probably use double sided iron on interfacing. It looks very similar and might be more cost effective. I have some and will try it.
@@LDruma awesome! Thanks for sharing! I found that I was able to remove the clear film and it was not sticky afterwards. Though, it took a bit of muscle to rip it off!

What a fabulous idea, just ordered some and will look forward to using up some of the foils I have saved up. Those black sheets are limited in their appeal imho!! This will be a game changer!!😀👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🧑🏼🎨
Thanks so much for sharing this technique. I love reusing the foil waste but of course don’t always want the black. I’ve seen the adhesive toner but didn’t know how to use it.
Thank you so much for sharing this technique! I just foiled a whole bunch of things and was planning to get black toner sheets but wished for there to be a way to transfer the foil to something that’s not black! Thank you again! So excited to try the new sheets you mentioned! 💕

maybe, however I find that the areas without foil aren't actually sticky afterwards. The heat-n-bond, or hot melt sheets simply cool to a glossy finish - no stick!
Truly a good idea…thanx again for showing how ✌🏽
Glad you liked it!

Mind Blown! 🤯 I'm gonna have to check that out! TFS!
@@NicoleWattCreates No problem! It's kind of a cool look, too. 🙂
Any color of toner works well. It doesn’t have to be black. Heat and Bond light is a much cheaper option than hot melt sheets!

This video came at just the right time. I am looking forward to foiling my cards, first timer!
Glad I could help out! Check out this video too - it will give you some helpful toner foiling tips! ua-cam.com/video/0VA8lFk6cpw/v-deo.html

Yup - it's the same thing! I recommend the lightweight interfacing, but any you have should work!
Also frabic spray adhesive works. Lightly spray cardstock and process as normal.
I just did the double sided interfacing, it worked great. I also left the clear film on, so the sticky bits, spaces stay covered.
@@LDruma awesome! Thanks for sharing! I found that I was able to remove the clear film and it was not sticky afterwards. Though, it took a bit of muscle to rip it off!
@@LDruma Ooh! Great tip! Thanks for sharing your experiment!
Awesome👍
Thanks for the visit
Great video! Do these hot melt sheets work for hot foil as well or only toner reactive sheets? TIA!

Have fun! Soooo much foil goodness is coming your way!
You can print a design on any color paper with a toner printer & foil it with your Mink or laminator.
True - but this video was showing how you can use the leftover foil pieces without having to use a solid toner sheet.
Thanks so much for sharing this technique. I love reusing the foil waste but of course don’t always want the black. I’ve seen the adhesive toner but didn’t know how to use it.
It's so much fun! You'll love it!

the hot melt sheets remind me of steam a seam...they even look the same. Do you think it is a similar product?
Yes! Therm-o-Web is the maker of Heat & Bond - which comes in various strengths and is usually used for sewing. The Heat & Bond light works just like the hot melt sheets, and may be found at a lower price point at your local fabric store!
Very cool! Did you make the carrier that you use to put your foils through the laminator? It's really clever!
Yes I did! Check out this Toner Foil Basics video I did where I talk about the carrier: ua-cam.com/video/0VA8lFk6cpw/v-deo.html
Could you use embossing powders and a heat gun on the remaining sticky parts?
maybe, however I find that the areas without foil aren't actually sticky afterwards. The heat-n-bond, or hot melt sheets simply cool to a glossy finish - no stick!
I would try sticking the foil down with a brayer.
Unfortunately, without toner sheets, or another material like transfer gel or these transfer sheets, the foil does not come off of the carrier sheet.
