    Wow, Natasha, you sure have opened up some doors for me. I've not thought of most of those things you've made. Just beautiful. I love following you with your inexhaustive, wonderful imagination. My favorite, though I love all of them, has got to be the writing Board. So very clever to insert in a journal. I know I've been frustrated many times by obstructions of any kind in my notebooks and journals. Another well said, clear, and beautiful project package from Natasha. Thank you soooo much. XOXOJANE

    Using an older large page dictionary in a wedding themed journal, I used the first page of the alphabet corresponding with the bride's and groom's first initial. The dictionary page was beautiful, showing the letter in different languages on the upper halves of each page. A work of art. I used the facing pages and decoupaged a napkin in the bride's colors on both pages but didn't cover all of the print leaving the upper halves without napkin or glue. It seemed to fade away one into the other. I was very pleased with how it turned out, especially since this was my very first journal. 30:04

    • @rgporter1957
      @rgporter1957 2 роки тому +2

      I don't think it was a fail either because it can be used elsewhere after fussy cutting. I would try putting a piece of parchment paper inside the bag before decoupaging. I think that might help eliminate those wrinkles. I'm going to try that and see.

    Hi Natasa, you must be psychic - I was wondering what else I could with my napkins that I keep buying!! Thank you for sharing your ideas! 😊🙏💐💕
    I am old to crafting but new to playing with napkins! 😁
    My idea - journal cover - I made a double layer (glued) of card with cereal box cardboard. Added more strips of card for detail. Decoupaged it with pieces of brown Kraft napkin. Painted it. Aged it with more paint. Varnished it. Added tea-dyed braid made from household string. Gold highlights with gilding paste. Now it looks like an old leather book, with the ‘wrinkled napkin effect’! 😃

    I recently made my mother a desk organiser by gluing 3 small cardboard boxes together, covered that with torn book page scraps of different hues and fonts and covered the whole thing with a decoupaged napkin, it came out really well. Having the different book pages underneath added some character to it.
    It’s amazing the things that you can decoupage with napkins. I really love the idea of the writing boards.💚
    Thanks for sharing this video and all your great ideas 💚
    Oh and the brown paper lunch bags work well for decoupaging, they’re little bit thicker and just as easy to decorate. 💚

I'm finally at a place where my journals are selling here and there just a few and it really is helpful for my very limited income. And that's why I watch you is because you use things that are available and are not spending a whole bunch of money on things. And yet you make the most beautiful things. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your talent and how you share it with all of us. I send blessings to you and your family and all those that you love.

    Lovely ideas. I like decoupage with napkins, I've done some on both plastic and glass, both work fine using PVA glue. I decoupage the outside of the glass you get free with some mustard and chocolate spreads, they are just the right size for tea lights and with the light shining through look gorgeous. But remember, you can not submerse them in water once done, so wipe out the inside with a damp cloth if needed. Thankyou Natasa for more very useful, well explained ideas, you always come up trumps and I love listening to you.

    I also love to decoupage- it is so much fun. I often decoupage on book covers or end pages. I also love the texture it brings to book page and tags. Such a fun video

    Lordy, I love your fail! Wonderful texture. I could see it framed, behind like a tissue box opening.
