When I was little we would put autumn leaves between to pieces of wax paper, cover it with a towel, and iron them in. They would stay preserved colorful for quite some time. 😊
I remember using an iron to enclose autumn leaves in wax paper. And then hung them in the window until it was time to cut snowflakes out of tissue paper and stuck them to the window using plastic wrap.
If you use your iron to press the wax paper onto the first page, it will work. We do fall leaves between 2 sheets of wax paper for a fall Sunday School project. You an also grate crayons in between and iron. Makes a really cool "stained glass" look.
You are delightful in so many ways- your delightful voice is crisp and expressive. Your interest in getting sensory experiences beyond visual- the crinkly sound, and the warm memories of your grandparents chocolates. You are a gem!
This is my first time visiting your channel! I was first pulled in by your beautiful voice, but what I found is that you are always explaining why you choose to do the things you do. Love your style and subscribed! ❤
I truly enjoy watching you create. It’s so inspiring and I don’t feel like I have to go out and buy new things. These are so beautiful and such a great interpretation of the prompts. Thanks for your endless inspirations with every video! Hugs ❤️🤗
Just found your channel today and really excited to play with wax paper! Beautiful results! Love your style and looking forward to watching many more of your videos!
A million years ago in photography class, we used the wax paper to mount photos on mat board. We had an iron in class that we used to melt the wax (paper was same size as photo) and secure the photo.
@@TheTreasuredPage You might want to experiment because I'm pretty sure we didn't apply the iron directly to the wax paper. We probably positioned everything in layers and covered it with something else like if you were ironing some type of fabric that you don't want to melt, but I don't recall specifics. Seems like we wouldn't have put the iron directly on top of the photo or wax.
I believe this is the first video of yours that I watched and I loved every minute of it. It's amazing to see how you create and hear you explain why you do certain things. I love the idea of the embossed wax paper... so pretty! 🤩
You did it again. Another great video. I really love the tag with the wax paper and also the wax paper that you embossed. I definitely will try that blessings and love from New Mexico
this junk journal July prompt has so many creatives w tastes that are so exciting. i have yet come across someone who's spreads did not make me itch to get my own journal out. lovely
Hi there... melanie i just found your channel and IM SO THRILLED. I SUBSCRIBED AND LOOKING 4WARD TO LEARNING MORE BEAUTIFULL IDEAS FROM YOU. LOVE FRO. IDAHO, JULIE*
Just now watching! I love that you do some of your experiments on the video. Thank you! I have wax paper that is old and aged. I don't have wax pieces but I can put double sided tape on. So fun❤
Really nice. I’m caring up tomorrow!! One more day to go!! Wow 12k views!! I can’t even imagine I could have that many people watch me do Jumk journal July 🎉
Hi Melanie❣️ Your video came up in my feed.i love it❣️ I’m also a new subscriber and look forward to many more videos. 🤗Hugs, 💖Love, and 🦋Butterfly Blessings sent your way.🤗💖🦋
You are so welcome Tania have fun with it. I heated my wax paper first before running it through embosser then heated it again after on camera to create the glassine effect. Not sure if heating first makes a difference to the outcome I need to play more with it. ❤️🦋
If you use a hot iron that will melt them together, when I was a kid in vacation Bible school, we used to do all kinds of things with wax paper. But you have to use a hot iron not the embossing gun
Is the piece of wax paper that was heated more transparent than the other piece? It looks it, but is hard to see from the video. Just watched you heat the embossed piece & it’s definitely more transparent. That is a wonderful technique you discovered! Beautiful result
Traditionally Junk Journals are books made from junk, clutter and scraps destined for the trash. We use surplus supplies, waste materials and recycled papers or fabrics. We alter them into something worthwhile and inspiring. Junk journals are a perfect platform to process day to day obstacles through safe paper play while discovering creative thought and new ideas. Making something out of nothing and getting a buzz from the sense of achievement. We make something once boring, beautiful. Great for those who like to keep a regular handwritten journal but also like to add ephemera to pages of treasured memories such as tickets and pictures. A visual artistic record or your creativity but with the freedom to play and craft without needing rules or a reason. 😉🦋
Yes exactly, let me make the mistakes and experiments to save you time and expense. It was the glassine texture that I was impressed with. Freezer paper is also not that transparent but will definitely fuse napkin etc 🦋
Hi, I appreciate your ideas and this wax paper Ephemera. Question: What size are your embossing folder? It appears to be closer to 8 x 11 size. Please advise. 2nd question: if larger what are the names of the machine you use and folder description. The links in the description box appear to be only addresses. Thank you in advance for your reply.
Hi Christine, Yes, correct It is a larger A4 8 x 11 embossing folder, it an old folder I found in a thrift store. I have a Time Holtz Switch Embossing machine I will share more in depth information in my next video as I just stumbled on technique while filming rather than planning a video around the idea. I’ll keep you posted 😉🦋
I tried it, but the embossing folders tear the wax paper. I tried double and triple layers of wax paper--the triple gave one image out of 3 without tears. It was shallow though. I tried simpler patterns with the same problems. My wax paper cut rite is very transparent initially so maybe a more opaque brand? Suggestions?
Well done for having a go, I guess the wax paper brands may vary. You could try heating it first to get the wax to soak into the tissue paper more. The embossing doesn’t take much pressure for wax paper, I only used one pass through a machine, maybe try a rolling pin over the top to vary the pressure and too see if your wax paper is too thin. Also It won’t work on 3D embossing folders. Hope that helps ☺️🦋
Hi Grace, take a look at my lastest video here where I show you lots of ways to achieve this and show you how I did it ua-cam.com/video/yutLoFzbARg/v-deo.htmlsi=UoQbaiB8OeMtGP86
@@TheTreasuredPage Delighted it worked out for you! I've only seen it demonstrated by another UA-cam creative. Your video inspired me to try it soon! Thank you!
Don't use a Magic Mat with the Big Shot Switch..! I did the correct sandwich with the Magic Mat and the machine jammed.. Actually exploded the sides out, as well. It was a brand new machine but the warranty did not apply because the warranty only applies when using specific products and the Magic Mat was not one of them. Examples of jammed machines all over UA-cam..! Be sure to check for the approved products; it can be a very expensive mistake..!
When I was little we would put autumn leaves between to pieces of wax paper, cover it with a towel, and iron them in. They would stay preserved colorful for quite some time. 😊
I remember doing that with fall leaves too! Older kids had to make a leaf notebook.
We used to add crayon shavings to ours. Then the shavings would melt when you ironed it. We made placemats with them.
Sounds great!🌺🦋
We did leaves in the fall also and small florals in the summer. Great learning for children.

I'm so happy people still do that, it's so pretty, there's nothing like going to the park and finding a giant leaf on the ground!

It’s very cool, but I will spare myself the trouble and just use freezer paper and an iron to fuse it. At least I know it will be perfect.
