I can't wait to get some linseed oil and try this! You have the best ideas Irene! I remember you showing this before and I have it written down so I don't forget to buy some oil next time I'm at HL. Hope you had a fantastic Christmas with your loved ones and got lots of goodies from Santa! Cheers! Luv ya xoxo
Thanks for the tip Irene, I will try to remember to pick some up and give it a try. I also want to try Denise's idea of using tracing paper and coffee dying it then baking it to make your own parchment like paper
Hi Cheryl!!! How are you????? Miss you my friend! Next time I go to Seattle I'm driving up to see you!!! We didn't have out passports so we couldn't this time. I love the idea of turning tracing paper into parchment paper. I"ll send you some parchment paper....I have commercial grade. We should try together...see if you like the results. Do you have the pocket die by Sizzix? Let me know.... Warm hugs to you my friend!!...irene
I finally found the pocket die and ordered it. I think I got a good price for it too. It would be wonderful if we could meet up. Even if we met in Bellingham. It's not too far a drive for me, even Seattle is only about 2.5 hours away. As a matter of fact I'm going for a day trip to Seattle in March with my co-workers. Our store had the highest sales in the district so we won 500 dollars to spend any way we liked, so we are all taking a trip to do a little shopping and to visit the Seattle Starbucks roasting plant. Which I've always wanted to do. I would love for you to see where I live though. My neck of the woods is so beautiful and I'd love to share it with you xxxx
Hope you don't mind me commenting here Irene, but I wanted to say to Cheryl that I have used greasproof paper or I think you might call it baking paper/parchment paper in the US...I coffee dye it, bake in the oven and use in my journals, it has a nice crispy effect and can be sprayed.
Thank you so much for sharing! I was just using linseed oil on our door, saw your video and now have papers drying. Looking forward to trying it on the onion skin paper too, as someone mentioned below.
I don't know where you come up with your fabulous ideas, but keep them coming, Irene! I have some with my painting supplies, I will be giving this a go for sure. Thanks so much for sharing this. Debbie :)
That is so interesting Irene, it give's the paper such a cool look and I would have though that it would stay oily. I will definitely give this a try. tfs!!
Thanks Irene, I love your tips! I am not sure if I ever commented on your videos before, but I do watch them! I love how always make everyone feel so welcome too! OH, too you are one of the sweetness to gift others with such nice gifts. I've watched some of those videos too! :) I love giving too. Sharing and giving from the heart shows you are a very warm loving person! I know GOD blesses you! I did see too your fun trip! That made me smile big as I look at both of your videos. Have a wonderful crafting day! You are a Top Star on UA-cam! hugs, Judy
Great tip and it really does work. My brother is experimenting with making leatherette the old fashioned way and was using Linseed Oil and came up with the same thing. Also, using oil or oil and water mix ( I used veggie oil ) with onion skin paper will give it a glassine look!
What a wonderful technique, Irene! That linseed oil really seems to create a great vellum feel. Im so glad you told us there was no residue. I'll definitely have to try this. TFS Big hugs Kristina
Great idea Irene. Thank you for sharing. Take care. Love Shirley

Do you just do one side of the paper could you do both sides of the paper?
Wenzday Neher .. I only do one side because as I rub it in .. it comes thru the other side too😊

Tfs. Do you know if you do this process several times, letting it dry in between would the paper be even more see through?
TFS that great tip Hon Love Hugs and Good Thoughts. Teresa
awesome idea...tfs...hugs~Peggy
Thanks for the tutorial!!! Tfs
What section is the linseed oil in? I'm guessing the artist painting section?
Wonderful!! Shanta
Wahoo just order some linseed oil :) love amazon
thanks for the tip ... sounds great!
Thank you for the great tip. I am going to give this a try.
I've seen it before by the paint brushes and art area.
You can use baby oil. It's cheaper and smells good too. Just rub it on the paper. I do both sides. Let it dry.
Susan Jerrell ;;; Oh wow , I’m going with your idea
Oh, I pmed you..
great tip : ) TFS Lisa
That is so cool. Tfs, Debbie
So awesome!! Tfs!!
Cool tip! TFS!
What a wonderful technique, Irene! That linseed oil really seems to create a great vellum feel. Im so glad you told us there was no residue. I'll definitely have to try this. TFS Big hugs Kristina
Thanks for the tip Irene...will have to try this TFS Hugs! To you Melanie x.
Wow! Tfs. Surely need to try this. You are a genius :)
I'm a little confused I guess. You just wipe the linn seed oil on it and it turns it into vellum paper after drying?
