See-Through Floating Pockets Using Recycled Materials

[@margaretflaxman]

Lovely idea. Will have to get the sewing machine working before I can do this. Thank you for sharing.🥰😊

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Margaret, I do like the sewn edges, but double-sided tape will do if the sewing machine won't cooperate! 😁💗😊

[@StampforLes]

Great idea for pockets!

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thank you! 😁💗😊

[@sherrydennis2419]

Adorable.

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thank you very much Sherry! 😁💗

[@sharonhurst3542]

Awesome! Love these!!

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks so much Sharon! 😁💗😊

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

Love these. Good idea putting something on top of vellum, I agree, don't like the feel. Sometimes the simplest fixes escape my mind. You ever do that? Kinda like why didn't I think of that!!?? Very nice

[@KariGibsonArt]

hehehe, thanks Christy, yes the obvious sometimes slips my mind too! 😁💗😊

[@lisabray2209]

Of course I'm going to make these.

[@KariGibsonArt]

Yay! Thanks Lisa, I am so glad, they are something a little bit different for our journals. 😁💗

[@megmiranda9480]

To get the backing off of stickers I use a bit of tape and the backing peels right off. Love your acetate pockets. Thanks

[@KariGibsonArt]

That's a great idea, thank you! 😁💗😊

[@Gem_11]

Fab tutorial Kari, definitely going to give this a go later, I'll be sure to tag you on TT 🥰

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Gem, that is great, I need to get some more on TT, I have been slacking lately! 😁💗😊

I am so impressed every time with the lovely things you create with found objects! You are brilliant! I love these pockets! They could stand alone!

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thank you so much Becca, I do enjoy a bit of a recycling challenge!😁💗

[@beccasart1]

@@KariGibsonArt You meet that challenge!

[@martha_makes_art]

These are lovely! What a great idea❤❤❤

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks so much Martha! 😁💗😊

[@ChattylaineCreates]

I've got so much saved acetate and packaging like this that I'm never sure how to use some of it... These are so pretty, I might give these a go when I get the chance!!! Those fabrics you had were lovely too❤️😁

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Elaine, yes I hang on to this stuff knowing I will use it in something, at last I got around to it! Those fabrics are gorgeous, Tracey gave them to me. 😁💗😊

[@ChattylaineCreates]

@@KariGibsonArt that's cool 😎💖

[@mariach46]

These are awesome Kari!! really loved watching another video of your fun ideas!! Have a lovely weekend and a nice Sunday tomorrow!

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thank you Maria! You have a lovely weekend too! 😁💗

[@carolstimpson3799]

Great use of junk plastic. Adds a lovely look to pockets. Thanks Kari. X

[@KariGibsonArt]

thanks so much Carol! 💗😀💗

[@Helen_kittycat_crafts]

fab idea xx i try to reuse as much as i can i hate things going to landfill x

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Helen, me too, I try to recycle as much as I can (it is a bit of an obsession)! 😁💗

[@mbutler599]

Super idea, Kari! Will give it a go. Your pockets look awesome as always❤️

[@KariGibsonArt]

Yay, thank you! 😁💗😊

[@elainet5870]

These look great! I LOVE the idea of topping the acetate piece with fabric or paper! I currently make envelopes, upcyling cellophane packaging, but I just love this idea of a finished top edge! These pockets will be wonderful in our journals! 😃❤️

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Elaine, yes I am making lots of them, all ready to use in journals! 💗😀💗

[@lindseywarren44]

What a lovely idea! You are so clever and inventive, Kari. Always new ideas! This looks like loads of fun & I shall definitely give it a go. Thank you very much for the inspiration. Hope you are well and gaining some joy in your days as time goes by. You are on my heart, my dear. Much love and bless xoxo

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks so much my dear Lindsey, I am doing well now, things are getting better. Much love and all the best to you too! 😁💗😊

[@melissataylor5494]

I am always pleased to see when you post a new video. Thanks for brightening my day. I love, love, love fresh ideas.

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thank you so much Melissa, that is so kind of you to say! 😁💗😊

[@aprilwoosley1342]

That's a great idea for all those little plastic sheets you get your stickers in at the Dollar tree.

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks April, I think so too! 💗😀💗

[@teriwhidden9178]

LOVE them and the tag you made for the video was fabulous! Great idea and Stamperia papers are ideal! Thank you.

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks so much Teri - oh that Stamperia paper is so delightful, I love it so! 😁💗😊

[@purplejanew]

Every video you make inspires me! Oh I must tell you, I just got hold of some book paper from 1738! The font is incredible!

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Jane, oh that book paper sounds fabulous, people knew how to write nicely then! 💗😀💗

[@evelynrauseo467]

They are indeed quite pretty. Thanks for sharing this great idea. 🥰🙏

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks so much again, Evelyn!😊

[@TwoOldCrowsMixedMedia]

Clever little pockets; thanks for sharing them. I will have to give them a go!

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks so much Peg, I am glad you like them and that you will be giving them a go! 💗😀💗

[@juliemonroe105]

Hi Kari, This is such a fun project! Love the sewing it adds a lot. Beautiful

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks so much Julie, I love these pockets! 💗😊

[@katierose7539]

I’ve been saving the extra large window envelopes and that might work on these especially if they are tag sized. 🤔 I’m off to look at my stash (sounds so much better than hoard) and see what I can repurpose. Love your style and videos. 🥰

[@KariGibsonArt]

LOL, stash does sound so much better than hoard, you are right. I think using the extra large window envelopes is a great idea! 💗😊💗

[@nikkicleveland668]

Hi Kari, I will definitely be making some of these floating pockets. Thank you 😊

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks so much Nikki, I am glad you will be making some of these pockets too! 💗😊💗

[@LynneWilliams101]

Kari, these are a lovely idea and a fab tutorial. Thank you ever so much!!

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Lynne, I am so glad you like them! 💗💗

[@paulinewhite3273]

Really good. I sometimes use the self adhesive clear pockets in my journal, they are plain and simple, your versions are way better, and my journal needs some.

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Pauline, those self adhesive ones sound great! 💗😀💗

[@AndreatheCumbrianCrafter]

Love these Kari, they are on my list of things to make once the kids have gone back to school!! Thank you for sharing xx 😘

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Andrea, not long now and they will be back at school, hopefully they are enjoying some of the nicer weather at last! 💗😁💗

[@AndreatheCumbrianCrafter]

Thank you Kari, the weather is very up and down still! Making the most of it when we can! 💕

[@helenbrown2001]

[@ebsinger3250]

LOVE these! Can't wait to try my hand at these! TFS!

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thank you very much! 🩷

[@TrishDarbonne]

I see a mass make of these. I accidentally bought acetate that can’t be printed on so these pockets will be perfect to make use of it.

[@KariGibsonArt]

Oh yes, great idea Trish, that is what I did with the acetate too and it is great to find something cool to make out of it. 💗😊💗

[@fuzzydragons]

ah cute idea, and would even work in a sketchbook to put reference photos in when drawing🙂

[@KariGibsonArt]

Oh yes, great idea! 🩷

[@phinnyzuril5314]

Stunning and so clever. TYFS ❤

These are great, love love them all. I've got a grip of that old packaging, now I know why. Stamperia: S W😍🥰N
