Fun! Thank you! I tried your glue/water/powder mix but instead of water used strongly brewed tea. Came out very old-timey. Just found your channel and I love it!
I prefer to use cornflour baby powder, it's not as cloudy as baby powder with talc. Matt medium is the most simple. I never use Modpodge as it's not as good as professional mediums and you can get it in 2, 4 and 5 litre tubs which I decant from
Exactly the kind of video I was looking for. I didn't want my magazine cutouts to look so much like the shiny magazine cutouts when I used them in my art.
I actually liked all the effects. I think they’re all interesting and could be used in a lot of different ways. Definitely expands the way you can use magazine and book pages. Very fun. Thank you
Hi Tammy.... I found this recipe on another channel for clear gesso where I use cornstarch instead of the baby powder (probably the same results). I use it on older thin book pages, both sides, to help keep them from tearing apart. I can then paint, ink, etc and the pages still stay intact. I also use this for decoupaging on my masterboards, including sticking stamped tissue papers and it comes out really nice with no shine. I keep my mixture in a bowl like you have and it has kept for months. Thanks again!
@@jenx4433 I use 1 cup PVA glue, 1/3 cup water and 3 tablespoons of cornstarch. I add more water if needed. I have had this mixture now for about 2 months and just add more water and stir good. It does leave a texture and some wrinkles just like Tammy's so test first. I haven't tried this on shiny pages though....let us know if you do this, I would be interested. Tammy started an interesting thread here!
@@gr8fng this recipe dries clear, if you add some white acrylic paint, then it makes white gesso. To be clear, this is a homemade gesso. I do not know what is in store bought gesso, but this works great for me.... So maybe try experimenting with small amounts to see if you like it...
I love these ideas. I wished I had seen this a few months ago when I created my first junk journal. I used magazine pages and really didn't like the shine, so I covered it with paper and collaged over it. The magazine is not visible anymore. I'll try both of these. Thanks for sharing. I love one of the comments about using tea instead of water. Love that idea too.
While I'm not new to paper crafting, I am new to using magazines and making junk journals from scratch. This was very informative and helpful. Thank you for making and posting it. :)
That's really handy. I was just looking at magazines to put in my journals. This really helps. My favorite is the one with the baby powder. Then, the modpodge with the napkin
This was really great, thanks for show and tell. I have given so many books a miss because of the shine, but this is so good. Lots of Love, Light and Laughter Forever!
🤔 Great video. I especially liked the method with baby powder. Just wondering, I have a lot of Elmer's Clear Glue. Can it be used in place of the white Elmer's Glue ?
Thank you so much 😊 Here is the link for the pouch tutorial Envelope pouch for your ephemera using Amazon packaging #junkjournal #pouch #ephemera ua-cam.com/video/YZV_vEyfhXY/v-deo.html
Thank you for showing this to us. I mixed up a batch of the homemade clear gesso that you used. I used corn starch instead of baby powder. It worked excellent for cutting the shine. I loved it. I will try adding a bit of white acrylic to make some of it into regular gesso to use to slightly cover some book page text.
Didn't know any of this, so Thank YOU for adding to my knowledge base! Liked all the methods, but especially the glue/water/powder mix. Think I'm going to try what the person below suggested with tea in place of the water. Love crafting days & videos like this. You made me a subscriber!
I don't know how I just now saw this, but these tags are so great! And believe it or not, I never considered adding glue to the back of my washi tape that doesn't stick very well! Goodness. What a great tip! LOL!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
I enjoyed your video and used the method with powder and I wonder why go to the trouble. I take the shine out of pages by coating with Matte medium and it gives excellent results
The reason you’re seeing spots of shine on the book pages is because of the ink used on the dark areas. If you do any kind of Gelli print with magazine transfer you know that the dark ink acts as a mask. So dark images will repel the solution applied on top. I do a lot of collage art and I’m curious how the napkin idea will work on top of the finished collages. Will have to try on something I don’t care for since you never know what will happen. Thank you for this. Will be following you.
Oh that makes a lot of sense I didn’t know that about the dark ink thanks for the info. I have decoupaged napkins on top of collage before when I made my Junk mail journals and it works great. Happy crafting Thanks for watching. 😉
High gloss, gloss, semi-gloss, semi-matt, matt. Rough is usually matt due to the added grit. I used matt acrylic extra heavy gel medium for years with a pallet knife to dull shiny papers. I had heard about the baby powder and the napkin so it was nice to see them demoed. If I can get the right napkin I'll give it a try.
Hi Tammy ❤ Many greetings from Germany ❤ In one of my last videos I showed, how I use this Modpodge for my shiny stickers ❤ I love this so much ❤ Thanks for sharing ❤ I will try these with the babypowder too 😊 really cool
I use the cornstarch (can't stand the smell of baby powder) and I apply it with my fingers (a little messy but not bad) to get a really thin coat and no streaks. Never tried the napkin technique but will give it a try. I like adding texture to my journals. TFS 😊
I'm definitely going to try using my fingers. I'm surprised I haven't yet lol. I've tried the special brush from Ranger/tim holtz and a sponge brush meant for modpodge. Thank you for the tip.
I love the effect of the baby powder mixture. I will definitely try this. I have a large book of wildflowers. My love the photos but hate the shine. Now I know how to fix that. Thanks so much!
Great question, yes for sure you can. You can also get the matte modpodge that will help take the shine away. I like to use school glue & powder because it is way cheaper alternative. Hope this helps.
I use a lot of book pages because I have a Restore store near me where books are $1 for hardbacks and .50 cents for paperbacks. It’s a great way to add interest for little cost. Thanks for the video, I will certainly use your ideas!
@@mydirtylittlehands4389 I hope your Restore is as good as mine! Mine has been a goldmine. Any softcover book is 50 cents, huge gardening books full of beautiful flower pictures, art books, etc. I’ve also found bags of lace, stencils. I guess my best find was 52 new, unused greeting cards with their matching decorated envelopes for $5!!
We have a book shop where you donate whatever you want for the books. But the staff were horrified when I said I was going to cut them up. Not sure I can show my face in there again! ☹️
Love the mod podge using the napkins was my favorite the crane bird was beautiful & those flowers. Which I could find books those beautiful pages in them will be definitely doing this for my journal pages. Thanks for sharing ❤
Sure I don’t see why not. I would put some Mod Podge into a separate air tight container and add some baby powder and test it. Should work fine. Let me know. ☺️
There is a product of Modge Podge that is called matte finish and it would be less likely to leave a shine my experience with Modge Podge is that it is usually much shinier than PVA glue water down. I have not tried it West glue and baby powder but I will give that a try
Hi - Thanks for the awesome deshining techniqes. Consider using any kind of plastic underlayment, but dampen the working surface a bit before laying down the plastic. It will stay put.
Okay, I subbed, alarmed, liked and commented needing a teacher since I am a newb. LOL I would like to make that mailer bag to store things in but I seem unable to find the correct link. lol Told yaw I was new. : )
Thank you, I love this. I don't really like the shininess that much, and if I can get rid of it maybe no one will know that I simply cut out magazine and catalog images and increase the "wow" factor. And thank you, too, for pronouncing Mod Podge correctly. I know, I'm one of "those" people, but it really does drive me nuts when someone pronounces it Modge Podge.
I used gloss Mod Podge, that is all I had on hand. It seemed to work just fine, doesn’t look shiny. I definitely want to try matte next time and see the difference.
If you decided to go both ways should be fine as long as you end up going one directional way before you let it dry. You will see the stroke marks when it dries.hope this helps.
Hi there. Just found your channel & after watching this, became a subscriber. 😊 I’m a frustrated artist, so watching this has me itching to create more soon, so thank you! I’m enjoying your comment section, too. So many creative ideas just flowing there! 💖 I’m excited to explore your channel further! -Love Wins
New subscriber! I love experimenting as I delve into journal and art making. Well, more like mess making for me lol! I use matte gel medium to knock back gloss, but don’t always have it. Will give these a try! 🦋🦋🦋
I think I like the napkin technique for the simplicity, But I can see where the powder would work well too. So would you say last method was like ''cream/ wall paint ... looks like beaten egg consistency? lol, An easy way to measure stuff like this is to use a digital kitchen scale. You pour in the products as you stir and just note the weight change. like glue 4 oz., water 2 more, and powder 1/3 oz stir then add in a touch more water, .2, .4 , then you know exactly 2.4
I would say it is not as thick as wall paint have it thin enough to drip off your paint brush. Once you use it you will have a preference on how thick is best for you. Thanks for watching.
Fun! Thank you! I tried your glue/water/powder mix but instead of water used strongly brewed tea. Came out very old-timey. Just found your channel and I love it!

You can use mod podge let it dry. Cover with a napkin. Cover with parchment then iron with a hot iron. The napkin will adhere without wrinkles.
That is a great idea! Thanks for watching 😉

Hi new subscriber. I love anything money saving or DIY! I'll be sharing your video on my community tab.
Welcome, Thank you so much 😊
I plan on trying a couple of these methods. Only I will try Mod Podge in the Matte Finish (yellow label 🏷) as opposed to the Gloss Finish (red label).
Awesome Tammy 💛
Thank you
Use the “Matte” Mod Podge😊
Yes, I agree. Gloss luster Mod Podge is what I had on hand at the time.
Could you add the powder or cornstarch to the modge podge?
Sure I don’t see why not. I would put some Mod Podge into a separate air tight container and add some baby powder and test it. Should work fine. Let me know. ☺️
Are you purchasing matte mod podge? The satin or gloss mod podge will leave it shiny like your examples seem to be.
Yes, I think that is a good idea to try matte Mod Podge. For a less shiny effect. Thanks for watching. 😉
I like to glue tissue paper over my pages as well. I just use a glue stick & slap it down but that will diminish the shine too. 🙂
Thanks for the info. Thanks for watching.
You could use an iron to take the crinkles out if you want.
