It's so funny..as soon as I heard the sound of the bag , a big smile came to my face, I do love that sound. Thank you for the tutorial and the little added extra!
It's funny how so many of us enjoy the sound of such things and also enjoy the feel of our art and crafts. Delighted that you enjoyed the video - thanks for watching and commenting Cathy - much appreciated :)
Oh, you are from Scotland . How lovely , my daughter is applying to go to University in Scotland to study psychology . You are lucky to be living there. Love the country . Hugs.
Thrilled to find this video as I've just bought a giant pack of tracing paper and love the idea of slightly transparent envelopes. Thank you for this helpful video
Thanks so much for this, Kylie. Pam at the Paper Outpost did a video in which pressed flowers could be presented in faux glassine envelopes. Your tutorial is what I needed to understand how to make them. Another project on my list to try. Ah - so much creativity - so little time! Thanks! Blessings!
Thanks so much Mary - glad this video helps. I have some pressed flowers that I need to do something with at some point and I have a couple of ideas that I might try out. I'll have a look at Pam's video. As you say - so many things to do if only we had the time :)
Thank you so much Kylie. I’ve watched this before, but it’s so awesome and cool 😎 I really love 💕 these envelopes, and it’s nice 👍 to reacquaint myself with the process. xx Mags
Thanks for your kind comment Susan - and yes greaseproof paper, parchment paper and baking paper are virtually all the same. Some brands (at least in the UK) can vary a little - some as more waxy than others but with a good double-sided tape it should work on any of these. Hugs to you too :)
These instructions are perfect. I always forget to add extra and end up wasting a little bit. These bags are so pretty in person and I'm proud to have them. I'll be trying to make my own soon. Thank you, Kylie. :)
Thanks for the positive feedback on the instructions Julie - I often eyeball things but when I'm making them to hold something I tend to be a bit more precise. The instructions help me explain it. Hugs :)
Thank you so much Kylie, I watched this about 1-year ago. So had forgotten which glue was best. I really really enjoyed watching this, and the double sided tape, seems to be the best one of them all. I’m going to have a play with this tonight, and I’ll let you know how I get along. Please stay safe and well too. xxx Mags
The bags are magnificent! I appreciate your taking the time to show how the glues work to stick the edges together. I imagined using a template-card with lines to fold the paper around to help me glue it evenly. It will help my hands accomplish the task and I can use a glue stick. Thank you 😊
Great tutorial Kylie. The part showing how you determined the measurements was particularly informative to me since I generally eyeball most things :-). I imagine you're having a few days in your studio with the snow days you've been having. Stay warm & safe.
Many thanks Ash - I eyeball a lot too but I thought doing the measurements might make it easier to explain. Most of the snow has gone now but I was snowed in for a week. I should have got more art done but lethargy set in. Hope things are good with you. Hugs :)
Thank you Kylie. Anybody would be pleased about getting an ATC from someone but these little envelopes would just elevate the gift or enliven a journal etc.
I've been buying embellishment and ATC bags but I'm going to start making my own as these are so cute and super quick to make. Thanks for sharing. Creative Blessings.
I have way too many pairs of those decorative kiddy-scissors myself and I have found that when they get really dull, I can sharpen them by cutting into foil (folded couple times). Usually this helps, same treatment works with punches as well. It would be great if we could buy those more heftier pinking shear type scissors with more designs! I have found only zigzag and scallop ones (altho in three sizes), mine are reserved for fabrics, strictly. Btw, love your accent! You could read the most gory horror story to me and I would still find it delightful.
Thanks for another great tip Jane. I'll try doing that because I hardly ever use the scissors as they are such a pain. I will also try it on my punches - I've noticed my corner punch is very blunt now so hopefully that will help. And thanks for your kind comment about my accent - I did laugh at your gory horror comment! :)
Kylie, I couldnt agree more, those deco-scissors are just infuriating to use, but I still use them all the time, they are lot quicker than diecutting. The foil trick feels totally counter-intuitive and insane, but it works like magic. I find its always the corner punch and 25mm round punch that get dull, I guess I use them the most. And more intricate and detailed punches dull faster, if you use one to mass producing something, you better have the foil at hand already, it will be needed sooner than later. I could listen to you all day long! You could read something really uninteresting like beard grooming-guide to me and I would be enthralled. I bet if you read out my bills to me, it wouldnt feel so aggravating to learn about yet another 100 bug rent increasement or find out about hubbys newest speeding ticket. Wanna job? ;) What would it even be called - bill reader, bad news teller, shock absorber? Oh, mental novocaine, thats it.
These are great Kylie. Thanks for sharing your process. Can't wait to make some. I like someone's idea of stitching the bottom for some added interest. take care ~~rita
Loving your tutes ...so clear and easy to follow, I've made similar with tracing paper and greaseproof glued with Pritt stick which works well too but I'm going to try double sided tape
Very cute! Ty for this video. Going to save me alot of money. I was going to buy some but so costly. Now i can make my own! Im going to use parchment paper. I like a vintage look. It is not as see through.
Thanks for watching and commenting Nancy. I'm so pleased that you are going to make some. I had looked to buy some a while ago and I could not believe how expensive they were. So hand-made was the way to go for me. Thanks again :)
This is the way I make mine too. If I need a lot in the same size I make a jig out of card stock which allows me to fold up against the jig, eliminating measuring or eyeballing it; makes it go fast.
Hello Kylie :) we are thinking alike ;) i've done few pockets with the same "backing" type paper and i just stiched the bottom with my sewing machine to add extra interest to them with the threads ;) i love yours with your embellisments through ;) thanks for this tutorial ;)
Thanks for your kind comment Sylvia and a great idea to stitch. I like to add detail with stitching - either machine or hand stitching on different things too. :)
Thanks Cass - glad you found this helpful. I cringe with the feel of some papers - which is not helpful as an artist and crafter - just certain types make my skin crawl! Strange isn't it. Thanks for watching and comment :)
Hi Despina - thanks so much for watching and commenting. The only place I can find glassine bags here is on-line and they all seem rather expensive! Hugs to you in Greese from me in Scotland :) xo
Fantastic, thank you so much!! I wish they made those crafting scissors a bit sharper for grown up kids ;) Great channnel and lovely videos. Very happy to have found you :)
Hi Lisa - thanks so much for your kind comment. The scissors are bothersome - they also lock if opened too far - but they got th job done. Thanks again :)
Hi Kylie, My tip for separating stickers from backing is to take two pieces of clear tape and gently adhere one sticky to the front, and the other sticky side to the back--both on the very edge of the sticker--then gently pull apart back from front. It works every time without marring the sticker! Good luck, my friend! Leslie
Hi Sandra - sorry to take so long to answer. Greaseproof paper probably sits somewhere between wax paper and parchment - I think that maybe the type I am using just has less wax than maybe you are using. The other thing that would probably work for this is deli paper (a variety that is either unwaxed or not too waxy) or tracing paper might be a good option. Hope that helps. :)
Thanks for watching and for your kind comment. I would say that greaseproof paper is probably closer to parchment paper than it is to waxed paper - though you could probably use waxed paper as well. Hope that helps :)
Hi Fay - thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment. (Sorry for delay in replying.) Are you looking to swap just within the UK or also international? Let me know and then I'll get back to you. Best wishes :)
Hi Mari - thanks for your kind comment. ATC is short for Artist Trading Card - these are small pieces of art that measure 2.5 x 3.5 inches and the idea is that you can make them to trade (swap) with other artists. In 2017, I participating in a challenge where I made an ATC every day for the month of June. The videos are in a playlist on my channel and it's called ATCAD2017 - just in case you are interested in seeing more. Thanks for watching and for your question. :)
Hi Georgie - thanks so much for your kind comment. Thanks for asking the question - we all start somewhere and have to learn the 'language' so to speak. An ATC is an Artist Trading Card. Basically it's a small piece of art that measures 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches. It's called a Trading Card because the idea is that you trade/ swap them with other artists. But of course you can also keep them for yourself. If you are particularly interested in making these then I have lots of videos on my channel - in particular, if you hit the playlists button and search through you will see a playlist called #ATCAD2017 - I made an ATC every day during the month of June 2017 - so you can see there how I made each one and there is also a flip through of them all in the last video in the series. Hope this helps :)
i noticed that you used the decorative edge scissors so the points were left at the opening of the envelope, not the half-circles. i don't think you meant to do that. i think you showed one at the beginning with the half-circles on the cut edge, which would make it a little easier to slide the card into the envelope. i've done that myself, but have tried to take more care so i get the scalloped edge i really want. for beginners, it's good to know that many of those scissors cut designs differently depending on which side of the scissor is facing the cutting edge. a few make the same pattern either way. i like your demonstration. :-)
Thanks for watching and for your kind comment. I find those scissors frustrating because they don't cut very well and I probably just picked them up to get the job done and didn't think about the way they were facing - so yes you are right I didn't mean to cut that way. Me and scissors don't always get along very well! Thanks again :)
Thanks for your question - sorry for the delay in replying. It's probably closer to parchment paper which I think has less wax on it (certainly the parchment paper I've bought here has less wax). You could probably use wax paper as well - just need to test that the glue you have works with it. Hope that helps :)
I was watching this on my tv and just had to look you up on my phone so i could comment. You do know if you flipped those scissors over you get a perfect scalloped edge. Im sure you know that tho, right?
Hi Brenda - thanks for watching and for coming on to your phone to comment. Oh dear, I always have trouble with scissors! I need to go back and see how I was holding them and then try them the other way. These scissors kind of annoy me. If I open them up just slightly too far then they lock open. I need to see if I can get a decent pair that can do scalloped edges. Many thanks for pointing that out - much appreciated :)
Yes that's a good idea - I sometimes used it as drop paper and then from there as collage. Some paints stick better to it than others! Thanks for watching :) xo
This bags are perfect for journals and mailing ATC's. TFS. 🙏🥰
I love how you wrote out how you came to each measurement and experimented with different glues. Thank you for your time. 😊
Thanks for watching and for your kind comment - much appreciated :)
It's so funny..as soon as I heard the sound of the bag , a big smile came to my face, I do love that sound. Thank you for the tutorial and the little added extra!

Oo, your accent! ❤️ Thanks for showing us how to make the pocket and envelope!
Thank you so much for your kind comment Jane - much appreciated :)
I loved how you explained how you arrived at the measurements. This makes it easy to create envelopes of any size. Thank you.
Many thanks Lela - glad it was helpful to you
Years LATER and i LOVE IT. THANK YOU KIND LADY WONDERFUL TUTORIAL YOU SURE YOU'RE NOT A SCHOOL TEACHER 💘
Many thanks Karen - and I'm definitely not a school teacher :)

Thanks Aemy - glad you found this helpful :)
Great tutorial and thanks for letting us hear them. Brought a smile to my face😊
Thank so much Weenie - and yes, got to hear the paper crinkling :)

Thanks Mags - I was just thinking the other day that I need to make some more - I've used up my little supply of them. :)
Terrific tutorial! Thanks for showing the glue comparison, very helpful! Love the crinkly bit at the end 😀TYFS 💜🦋❤️
Thanks so much Cindy 😊
Great tutorial Kylie! This must be the same as parchment paper that we have here. It's used for baking too. Thanks so much! Hugs ♡
Thanks for your kind comment Susan - and yes greaseproof paper, parchment paper and baking paper are virtually all the same. Some brands (at least in the UK) can vary a little - some as more waxy than others but with a good double-sided tape it should work on any of these. Hugs to you too :)

Wonderful tutorial! I could also listen to you all day ☺️
Thank you so much and that's so kind :)
These are so pretty and useful. TFS!
These instructions are perfect. I always forget to add extra and end up wasting a little bit. These bags are so pretty in person and I'm proud to have them. I'll be trying to make my own soon. Thank you, Kylie. :)

A diagram worthy of a draftsman. I’m putting my positivity deck cards in my journal these will be perfect for keeping them accessible.
Many thanks Laura - I thought the diagram would actually help me explain it better and yes these will be ideal to keep the Positivity Cards in :)
Thank you so much Kylie, I watched this about 1-year ago. So had forgotten which glue was best. I really really enjoyed watching this, and the double sided tape, seems to be the best one of them all.

Couldn't help but smile as the paper kept making a noise, I love it, great idea btw. Tfs xo

Great idea for when I mail out ATC's, makes a very nice presentation. Thanks for the demo!
You are welcome Nell and thanks for your kind comment :)
Wonderful diy! Saves money and works wonderfully!
Thanks so much Sue - the glassine pockets and envelopes are expensive to buy - and there is fun in making them anyway. Thanks again :)
Loving your tutes ...so clear and easy to follow, I've made similar with tracing paper and greaseproof glued with Pritt stick which works well too but I'm going to try double sided tape
Many thanks Lajoni - it's good experimenting with different things :)
Well explained. Thanks for a really useful tutorial. More please!
Many thanks Lynne - I'm looking at some more designs for these but let me know if there is anything else you would like to see. :)
Thank you, great little bags and the glue trial was very useful.

Great tips! I didnt expect the glues to stick! Ooo, I must be the only person in the world who cringes with the sounds of crinkly paper!! Haha!!

Hi, just found your channel love your tutorial. We don't have any glassine bags in Rhodes , Greece.TFS.HUGS FROM GREECE.
Hi Despina - thanks so much for watching and commenting. The only place I can find glassine bags here is on-line and they all seem rather expensive! Hugs to you in Greese from me in Scotland :) xo
Try using parchment paper
brilliantly easy :) thank you for showing and sharing
Thank you so much Kerry - I am hoping to do some more soon :)
I love what you did in this video Kylie - thank you so much for showing this to us and I cannot wait to make some TFS
Many thanks Janet - appreciate your kind comment :)
Thank you, so useful! Your videos are lovely.

@@KylieCooStudio you are quite welcome, my friend. I am enjoying your channel! Thank you for all you have taught me....
What is the US equivalent for "greaseproof paper"? Both Wax paper and Baker's paper (parchment) will not stick to tape.
Hi Sandra - sorry to take so long to answer. Greaseproof paper probably sits somewhere between wax paper and parchment - I think that maybe the type I am using just has less wax than maybe you are using. The other thing that would probably work for this is deli paper (a variety that is either unwaxed or not too waxy) or tracing paper might be a good option. Hope that helps. :)

Simply brilliant, tfs.
Many thanks for watching and commenting Janie - glad you liked it :)
Is grease proof paper the same as waxed paper in the U.S., or is it like parchment paper? Thank you! Great tutorial!
Thanks for watching and for your kind comment. I would say that greaseproof paper is probably closer to parchment paper than it is to waxed paper - though you could probably use waxed paper as well. Hope that helps :)
These are quite nice. I would use them.
Thank you Michele - I use them in journals and for keeping little sets of inspiration cards in :)
That's a great idea,
Thanks Kylie! Great tutorial!
Many thanks Jenn - glad you enjoyed it :)
Do you have a tutorial for how you made the winter solstice card that went in the pocket? Please and thanks
Hi Sabrina - yes I do have a video for that - here's the link :) ua-cam.com/video/ysA4mamL5xM/v-deo.html
Is there a tutorial for the atc? It's lovely! ❤️🙂
Thank you and sorry, I don't think I did a video for the tag but if I can I'll try and do one in the next few weeks :)
Thank you very much. This was very helpful and instructional.
Many thanks Aura - I appreciate you watching and commenting :)
Great tutorial, thanks Kylie. Love them :)

Nice tutorial, thanks Kylie
Many thanks Dawn - appreciate you watching and commenting :)

Hi nice to hear a Scottish voice for a wee change, enjoyed your tutorials very much and wonder if you know of any crafters that swap ATCs. Cumbria

Great idea! Thank you for sharing. 💝
Many thanks for watching and commenting - much appreciated :)
thankyou so much for sharing your time and skill. I'm a newbie to paper crafts. What are ATC's?
Hi Mari - thanks for your kind comment. ATC is short for Artist Trading Card - these are small pieces of art that measure 2.5 x 3.5 inches and the idea is that you can make them to trade (swap) with other artists.

Lovely video..I love the sound of your accent💕 Scottish?
Loved this. What is an ATC? Sorry about the ignorance ... I’m new at this craft 🇿🇦 from South Africa

Awesome little pockets, tfs Kylie
Many thanks Maggie - much appreciated :)
Wax paper?
Awesome! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks so much Cindy - I appreciate you watching and commenting :)
I guess you could use brown parchment paper to make vintage glassine style pockets. TFS
Yes - give it a try :)
TY, I have some parchment paper. Time to play now! Lol
Enjoy creating :)
TFS. very helpful. Thank you.
🌹 Rosie of Oz 🇦🇺
Thank you so much Rosie :)
I tried double sided tape but it won't stick.
Hi Maria - what kind of paper did you use? If it was waxed then it might be that the tape was just not strong enough.
Would this be wax paper or parchment paper in the US?
Thanks for your question - sorry for the delay in replying. It's probably closer to parchment paper which I think has less wax on it (certainly the parchment paper I've bought here has less wax). You could probably use wax paper as well - just need to test that the glue you have works with it. Hope that helps :)
Do you swap ATC’s?
Hi - yes I sometimes do ATC swaps. Drop me a message if you want to do a swap sometime. I see you have a channel so I've subbed you. :)
Kylie Coo Studio yes! Let’s swap ATC’s! I am a new subbie on your channel as well! 💗
I'll try and message you :D
After a while, I've heard that the double sided tape starts to discolour and show through a lot...?
Love these Kylie! And explained so well!
Hugs Marsha
Many thanks Marsha - much appreciated :)
