I've just come across your channel and thought I'd share an idea with you. I used two cardboard surrounds used in picture framing and made a frame sticking my rice paper picture between the two. When completely dry I used acrylic spray varnish over the whole thing and hung it in my window as a sun catcher. With the sun coming through that 'picture' it looks beautiful. Hope you give it a try. Xx
To stop the shine on the back you could hang it on them skirt hangers, I make silk flowers and I have to stiffen my silk with polyvinyl alcohol basically pure pva once the crystals have been melted down with water it's a clear liquid. I hang my silk that way then it can be ironed afterwards. I've also stiffened coffee filters the same way and hung them on my washing line. It stops the shine by hanging it up. I have my daughters save all there bra and knickers hangers with clips on too haha. Just thought you might want to try it. I love the video by the way I will definitely try this and maybe make a napkin flower who knows.
Hi!! I too just happened to stumble upon your channel. Loved watching your video. I really like the fact that you respond to all comments left. Thank you for making this informative video. :) I edited this comment to add to the few who made comments on why not just glue onto your tags or papers and skip doing this sheet the way shown here in your video. I have my answer to that question.... If any of you are like me, you have days you aren't so thrilled with taking on a new journal, or working on an existing one. Maybe your Mojo isn't right one day, or maybe you just need a break from working on a more involved project. But, just creating something that is just start to finish in a short period time is just what you need to get your creativity back. Yet, your not totally away from creating. :)
Yes, your edited comment is spot on!! I also like to have some of these on hand to use as the idea hits me. Thank you for watching and welcome to my channel! ❤️
Lol--I too tried other things (wax paper, parchment--NO good at all...🤬for sure. I had the best luck with plastic shopping bags with the handles and bottoms cut off) Just curious--why go through the extra step of making rice paper only to glue it on a backing--why not just Mod-Podge the napkin to the index card or tag? Which turned out beautifully--love the black and ivory and of course--the gorgeous dragonfly napkin/rice paper...
I just found you and enjoyed your presentation very much. Am new to junk Journaling world and appreciate way you explain the project in your tutorial. Thank you
Thank you so very much . Love it . Good idea . What did you make the tags from . Didnyou but them like that ? Index cards is a Great idea for junk journal .i am a newbie and i am getting so much wonderful ideas ,where i don't have to use a lot of money.Thsnk you again .Please keep teaching love it
Love it all, new to thos process, first batch ok. But I believe I needed to add more of glue mix to top !? AND WAX PAPER DOES NOT WORK,! so thanx for new idea !! I have same napkins too !! 😂 like having a short and to the point video THANX A MILLION 🎉❤
Hi there. Just came across your video and am hooked! I've subscribed because I'm curious to see your work, especially after the rice paper tutorial. Thanks so much for sharing. All the best!
Hi, just stumbled upon your channel. Thanks for showing how simple this is. I love what you made out of the napkins. Not sure I’m a fan of the plastic side of the paper but this would only be an issue I guess if I was making pockets or using it as a page in a journal. I’ll definitely give it a go. Thanks again!
Hi, I just came across your channel this morning & have watched 3 videos so far, but I noticed the Autism puzzle piece you have tattooed on your arm, which is awesome! Anyway, my youngest son Kilian has autism. Thanks for sharing your talent & Happy Thanksgiving! Take care, 🎀 Lily 🎀
Do you think freezer paper might work? It is far stronger than wax paper. It is only shiny on one side, but you would only need the one side. I might try it to see. Thanks for sharing this tut!
I have used freezer paper. It works! As I recall, I returned to plastic because it gave a higher shine on the back and seemed a little stronger. Also, when I used mod podge I got a better result than glue and water. I'm going to try both ways again to see if I get the same results.
Great instructions - nice and short. One question. Did you modge podge or just glue the rice paper to the manilla envelope? Many thanks! Love that you used the tiny offcuts !! Yup - we throw nothing away xo
I was wondering if the outside surface of a dried cat food bag would work? It seems semi slick/shiny/cellophan-y (one brand does anyway). I'm drying my first attempt at faux rice paper on a flattened out plastic shopping bag (reusable but the disposable kind) and I think it's going to be interesting to get the dry paper off later lol. It may end up lined with plastic bag. Waiting on someone to finish off their cereal so I can nabble off with the bag...(before they suddenly decide to be neat and tidy and throw the empty out, which would be a FIRST but always happens when you want to keep something, right?) I may try using an empty potato chip bag on a small page (other way round, really) because they look kind of slick too.
I have used a plastic grocery bag...it produced more of a wrinkle effect on the finished product...curious about cat food bag though. Good luck in your endeavors, thank you for watching!!
@@DragonflyerStudio Found out from another youTuber that if you take your brush, and gently roll a tiny bit of all the edges of the damp napkin, you'll be able to easily lift it off when dry. Just kind of gently nudging around all the edges with a fresh application of glue on the brush. Had a bit of trouble with my first effort because the actual glue hung over on all the edges and it was harder to get under. So tucking the edges with the brush and more glue so they were slightly rolled/raised really helped later when dry.
new subbie. love the tags and journal cards. whats the best way to attach the rice paper to the card? just got some new napkins, cant wait to try this out,
Interestng. That was my same question above. Can you see the glue thru the rice paper and did it eventually warp the tag since the glue and water mixture has water? When I've tried to adhere my rice paper to something, it's a litle tricky. I was thinking of usig double sided tape. Any feedback? @@DragonflyerStudio
@@DragonflyerStudio thanks so much for this information, it’s more easygoing than put glue at the plastic too. Did you made both ways? Dis you see much difference? Thanks for your generosity and share your beautiful art 💐🥰👍🏼👏👏👏👏
Yes, and it seems to be a little stronger than napkins. I first used Xmas tissue paper with snowflakes. Looked great. Just make sure your tissue paper has a lot of white area or intentionally use white tissue wrapping paper and stencil something on it and add the same materials you use on your regular rice paper. When making rice paper tomorrow, I'm going to try first ply sheet and add stencil and some texture, then apply glue, then put down a second ply sheet with the shadow tissue from the napkin and maybe add a few more things like glitter or more dried tea, then apply more glue mixture and finally add the top napkin. Have you tried that? Hope I'm not wasting my time.
Tiffany - Love how all your pieces turned out. Thank you!❤️😊

the glue ratio is 2 glue 1 water and coffee or tea if you want an antique look :)
Thank you so much for your tutorial, I'm going to try this. Many blessings to you.

Thank you and welcome to my channel. New videos come out Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Thank you for watching.
I’ve done this but not with a cereal package. I just emptied a box and will give it a try. New subbie! Tfs
I found that the plastic from cereal boxes doesn't stick. Thanks for watching. ❤️
Hi new subscriber here!! I love your vibe. I'm always looking for new ideas and today you inspired me! Thanks!!

I just glued them on. Thank you for watching!
You glued the napkins to the tags or the rice paper to the tags? @@DragonflyerStudio

I'm quite new to this and I've tried doing this project with silicon mat. Worked well.
Amazing! Where did you find those beautiful napkins?
Yardsales, estate sales.
new subbie. love the tags and journal cards. whats the best way to attach the rice paper to the card? just got some new napkins, cant wait to try this out,
I use Scoth Create glue sticks, it provides an even layer of glue and keeps the tags from getting stiff. Thank you for watching!!
What is the best way to adhere the rice paper to tags ? Have you tried it adhering to canvas?🤔
I use fabri-tac to adhere it to other surfaces. I have not tried I on canvas...but now want to!!
Could you use matt medium instead of glue?
Did I miss something?
How do you get it on to the Manila postcards and index cards?
Once it's dry, you can just glue it on to whatever surface you choose. I use a glue stick to adhere the rice paper to my cards.

👍👍👍💕💕💕🇩🇰
Do you have to use a sealer once you put it on the cards
No.
most videos put layer of glue on cereal mat, then apply napkin, then top with glue.
I have seen this done and tried it that way. Thank you for the comment and for watching!!
@@DragonflyerStudio thanks so much for this information, it’s more easygoing than put glue at the plastic too.
Did you made both ways?
Dis you see much difference?
Thanks for your generosity and share your beautiful art 💐🥰👍🏼👏👏👏👏
Can you use tissue paper
Yes, and it seems to be a little stronger than napkins. I first used Xmas tissue paper with snowflakes. Looked great.

Actually, you should use one third water and two thirds glue.
Awesome, good to know!!
