Momigami takes me back to my childhood. My grandparents refused to have indoor plumbing. Water was from a pitcher pump well and the old outhouse was a distance behind the house and was complete with a Sears and Roebuck or Montgomery Ward catalog. You had to keep wadding up the paper while you were in the outhouse or you took a chance with paper cuts. 😂 I never knew it had a name. We were just making toilet paper. Wonderful dye idea also.
Thank you for the sweet comment :) I thought about that too, but I wasn't sure if I should mention that in the video, lol :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
Thank you for the sweet comment :) Thank you for sharing your idea with us all, I will have to try that :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
I'm definitely going to give this a go. Thanks for showing another way to "paint." I make decorator gift bags from old newspaper but people wanted to reuse them and the newspaper would crack after being folded repeatedly. I use a 1:4 glycerin:water mix and it makes the paper soft like fabric so it can be refolded repeatedly without ripping. I imagine this wax method strengthens the paper in that way too. Great video!!
Thank you for the sweet comment :) I do think this would work in the same manner :) You will have to let me know how it works for that :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
I have said this to other youtubers also but often we do not hear the noice you hear when filming the video. The first time you mentioned the dogs I did not hear them. And I really don’t mind back ground noice . I know how much work it takes to plan, film , edit and upload a video so 🤗 just a big big thank you for all the efforts you make and all the wonderful ideas you freely share with us on your channel. So I would say , let the house live its life, let your dogbabies do what dogs do …. Unless you are bothered by it while filming and that again is not for me to say what you can or cannot do . Thank you Amy ❤️

@@aljohn I’m working on a video of your momigami technique and of course I’ll send everyone back over to watch you cuz you explain everything better than I ever could! I haven’t tried the wax yet but it’s on my grocery list. 😁
You like to craft the way I do with random things and products :) I think you explain just fine, and I was soooo happy when you started doing more videos again, I missed you :) I know I don't comment much, because I watch on my tv, but you are one of my regular channels :) I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
Amy the wax colors are so vibrant. Fun. I was not familiar with momigami. That was very interesting. As always, thank you for sharing your creativity and time.

Hello, I am a new subscriber. I found you through Shannon Green's you tube channel. I think your momigami papers are wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing. I look forward to watching more of your videos.

I was intrigued by the wax colors last time. Amazon is how I usually shop and didn't get the hair wax. But seems so fun. Also the fabric paper seems neat. Thanks for sharing these techniques.
I'm intrigued, too, but on the fence about waxes and papers in general. Does paint stick to it later? Is it easy to write on? So confused but in awe at the pretty colors.
Those are so cool I remember you doing the colors in your other series but I think you use different wax but anyway that’s not important what you were teaching us is important thank you and that is so neat and I think that also gives you the strength in your hands doing that like an exercise anyway God bless and please have a amazing day
Thank you for the sweet comment :) For the wax color, I used the same one last time, but I made liquid wax too and it was different :) I think you are right about the hand exercise, I never thought of that :) You should watch the re draw of the 2nd monthly giveaway :) ua-cam.com/video/hLd4X00YudY/v-deo.html tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
Thank you for the sweet comment :) I really find it relaxing to make this paper, I hope you have fun with it :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
Thank you for the sweet comment :) You could, but you would still have to buff off the extra wax so it wouldn't be as fast :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
If I could only talk it's how you make imitation leather but you use brown paper bags and you for your coloring you use oh gosh you can use regular dye or ink pad ink
This was one item I did not do last time. I had never seen it before and had no idea of how to use it. I am still a little in the dark, unsure of how to use it, where, when , etc. when you heat set it, does it melt into the paper? does the paper become a bit translucent? i have been crinkling paper for dimensional flowers and for distress inks. it is definitely fun to manipulate and alter the physical texture of the paper. your colors were vibrant and lovely.
Thank you for the sweet comment :) You can use it like paint, it doesn't make the paper translucent, but it does soak in a bit :) I will be using it with next weeks project so you can see one of the ways I use it :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
@@aljohn you are so far ahead of me. Lol. As always, I am looking forward to learning more at the knee of the master. Thank you so very much for sharing your creative 💜.
Thank you for your sweet comment :) I will have to look up foundry wax as I have not seen it yet, I will let you know what I think :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
Hi, I looked at the foundry wax, and this would not work like foundry wax :) I would say if you want a faux alternative, I would use metallic fingernail polish it would be cheaper and still look like metal :) The bonus would be you do not have to heat set it :) I hope that helps :) Have an Outstanding Day :) amy
It would make it a bit darker, but the more you put on, the more it soaks through and doesn't seem to dry as well :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
New to your channel! I’m excited to explore your other videos. Amazing techniques! Thank you Shannon Green for sending me here!! May I ask about your ‘glue’ sponge and how you put it together?
Thank you for the sweet comment :) Welcome to my channel, it was so nice of Shannon to give me a shout out :) I hope you enjoy my other videos :) Here is a link to my glue sponge video ua-cam.com/video/bX2uwSakQqI/v-deo.html tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
Thank you for the sweet comment :) It does not leave the paper greasy, especially if you heat set it :) I am not sure if any would work, look for one with parafin wax and glycerin and give it a try :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
What a great interesting video!!! I saw the wax at Walmart the other day but it was $18 and the gel was $10!!! plus tax (20%) and the other brands were even more!!! sooo I guess I won't be making the wax!! However, I do like the momigami I didn't know that it was a name ....and yes it would be really annoying scrunching paper while watching tv....just as annoying as hubby hogging the remote!!! it also seems really good exercise for arthritic hands! I do something similar with my wipes and paper towel...wipe up paint and let dry!! Didn't know it was a thing! Love the card....so pretty!! TFS
@@ilakaiser3778 I had a big reserve of things and bought almost everything that was used in the other Build your stash series when things were $1.00!! Some things like the wax I never found at Walmart so never tried out this idea. I don"t really follow the $7.50 per week since I am using up what I have. I must admit in the past 3 years my stock has depleted somewhat since our stores were closed and those that were opened you were only allowed one person per family and limited to essentials only.
Craftygrandma, your next time in Walmart check out these. The brand Sportin’ Waves gel was $2.48 at my Walmart and the 4 pack of Betty Crocker gel food color was $3.88. Much more affordable. Hope this helps.
The wax is a hair wax called Gel Pomade, I explain it better in this video Start at minute 29:00 ua-cam.com/video/cq8_ZtmYs2c/v-deo.htmlsi=iVAt-k0BGSyQIA-H I hope this helps :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
Thank you for the sweet comment :) I have been told that a few times now :) I haven't tried the leather paper yet :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
Lol Amy... pets ARE a lot like kids (and yes, for a lot of us, they ARE "also" our kids). Puppies are very much like rambunctious toddlers and cats are a lot like older kids/teens. And it seems not a single kid, even fur-kids, can resist the allure of a mom doing SOMETHING. A mom can sit quietly for hours, staring at a wall, bored... kids will ACTIVELY IGNORE HER (barring emergencies, food need, etc). The second she goes to do ANYTHING... "MOM! MOM! MOM!!!! WATCH ME! I NEED YOU! I LOVE YOU! PAY ATTENTION TO MEEEEE!" I can't speak for the dads out there, though... I don't remember my father.. or any man... complaining about certain activities being... triggers for kids to go a bit nutty. Pretty sure its happened, though. And yet... kids - fur & flesh... no matter how much they drive you to distraction... the love just grows. =D
Thank you for the sweet comment :) Love your thoughts :) I never thought of cats being like teenagers, but you hit the nail on the head with that one :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy

Too funny! I thought of the exact same thing! We had a big family, so sometimes the TP ran out and we "momigamied" the catalog or newspaper LOL :)
Thank you for the sweet comment :) I thought about that too, but I wasn't sure if I should mention that in the video, lol :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
Ha! Art and meditation in a nature setting! LOL. Something very …memorable…about outhouse experiences.
