Best youtuber on tutorials for Junk Journaling that I have found. Thank you so much you have helped me so much.
Thank you Brandy!!
Love this idea SO much. The frosted envelopes lend an air of mystery to the enclosed ephemera. Now I know what to do with the lightweight ones, which I haven't been saving.
Some liners are heavier and less translucent. They make fantastic non stick craft sheets. Layer them between journal pages to protect from stray paint, use as gluing and paint mixing surfaces-- all free!
Your upcycling videos are so creative and inspiring. You seem to actually improve the materials so they become sought-after rather than discards. Awesome!
Thank you so much Robin, I love this comment! Thank you for the tips too, awesome idea!!
I love your creations from junk. That speaks to me as well
great idea to emboss it...I made seed envelopes out of it for my sisters botanical journal
I started saving cereal box liners because I knew there had to be something I could make with them, then I ran across this video! How great!
YOU are the TREASURE in Treasure Books!
Awww thank you so much!! What a beautiful thing to say!!
I love how you recycle products (cereal bag) that would otherwise go into a landfill. Creative AND good for the environment!
That's what I'm all about, Thank you Mechelle :)
I love that you recycle so many materials and love what you do with them 🥰
Years ago I use to send out a lot of happy mail and I made these little bags like this and filled them with goodies 😀
This a wonderful idea
I can see right now I am going to need to eat cereal more! Soooo neat!
I can't eat cereal, but now I'm eyeing the Cheerios in our pantry! LOL
LOL I called my daughter before the video was over to ask for her bags.
Crackers and other things come in that packaging.
We don't eat cereal either, but I put a whisper out to the office and now I am trying to find new places to store all the box and bag recycling they donated 💕
Thanx for sharing this video. Two weeks ago I stood with the cornflakes box liner and thought how can I use it. I thought of "glacine" bags, but was not too sure on how to do it. I will go and make use of that liner immediately. I can even make big enough envelopes for the cards I sell. You are a genius. I am always a looking for ways to recycle and upcycle. I love the idea of embossing them, too. Thanx again.
Thank you so much Paula!! Have fun creating!!
I used this idea and mad a long pocket with a break in the middle so I could bind it into a signature. Thank you fir all the great ideas. Love your channel
I really Like your style of teaching + personality: Straightforward + Fun! Great Ideas - Inspirational: Thank You! Paula/Seattle
Thank you so much Paula :)
Love your upcycling ideas I'm the same I like to reuse things instead of throwing them away grand idea
I can’t wait to try this for my junk journal!
Oh my goodness! I've been trying to figure out how to come up with glassine bags cheaply. This is it. Thanks!
Thank you for showing how strong the washi tape sample is; I'm one that doesn't own a sewing machine. So, that was so encouraging.
Omg cereal boxes ingenious you always seem to be thinking out the box LOL 🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ it
Hehe I try. Thank you so much!
I had a cereal bag in my hand the other day and I thought this looks so clean but I couldn't think of what to do with it. What a great idea!
This is such a great idea. Some crackers come in the same kind of plastic and they have a brown tint to them. That would be interesting too. I can’t wait to start saving the plastic.
This is crazy…and so obvious at the same time!! I always liked the feeling of that cerealboxinlet!! I will definitely try this😍😍😍
That journal is downright beautiful.
Thank you Deb!
I love your idea's on using the cereal bags! They are extremely tough (try ripping your way into a cereal box : ) I have collected many of these bags even to use as kitchen storage for dry items! I was curious as to how I would use them to make cute journal bags... so... Thank you so much for your ideas!
Since I have started my journals I have to inspect everything I use to see how I can recycle into this amazing craft!
Yess!! When I started this craft, nothing went into the bin without me first inspecting haha. (Still doesn't)
Glassine is so hard to find, where I live, so I love your idea of using recycled Cereal Box liners! As I was watching your video, I fell in love with the little pocket that had a beautiful stamp with a butterfly on the front! I'm a stamp collector, and have wanted to find a better way of displaying my stamps. What better way than putting them on pockets like yours, and using them in a journal? I love your videos! Thanks for the inspiration! Stay safe!

Thank you for another wonderful way to use scraps that would go in the trash otherwise. Your creativity is without end.
Thank you so much!
I think its a fantastic idea and I think they look amazing. I love recycling it one of my favourite things to do. You are so very clever and so creative. I love watching your tutorials. Thank you for sharing. ❤
I love them! Can’t wait to try them!
I have been saving my cereal bags for a while now too! Love these little bags, just beautiful!
I just love this such a clever idea.. I need some storage for stuff . And these will be fantastic. As you said so many ideas. I just love these. Will be giving this a go . And saving my cereal bags . Thank you for the share. Stay safe and warm .
Loved these pouches. Easy and fun and extra nice with the embossing. I just love all of your ideas. You always inspire me to create.
So incredibly creative! Now I have to go buy some cereal, lol.
I love your ideas, particularly to use waste materials. Thanks so much.
Brilliant, Natasha! I adore the way your mind works!! Thank you so much for the creative ideas and excellent teaching! 💙💙 Also thank you for creating videos in a regular vid o rather than in a livestream!!
Thank you Leslie! I'm not much of a fan of livestreams either as I'm very time poor, so I like shorter and to the point videos. Thank you for watching :)
What a great way to use those cereal liners! I always keep any boxes from my kitchen, now I’ll also save the liners from the cereal boxes to make these adorable bags. The embossing really gives them character. I also appreciate the way you write down the steps, it helps me understand everything better. I’m binge watching as many of your tutorials as I can tonight.
These are absolutely NOT ridiculous, they are awesome! I love them. The last box of cereal I emptied, I pulled the bag out and was looking at it and thinking there had to be something you could use them for, I just knew I should put it aside for later, but my brain simply couldn't make sense of a cereal box liner as a crafty goodie, so in the trash it went. Now I know better and there's two more boxes in the cupboard shaking in their boots hahaha
Hahaha you cracked me up!! Thank you :)
@@TreasureBooks 😁
Love all ideas for reusing/recycling! I like the crinkles. Looks "vintage"!
Yes! I love them!! Good ideas,using up what you have!!
Wonderful idea!!!! I love re-using items for creating heART! Thanks for sharing! Jill
I really love the embossed ones also thanks for showing the video and I like the written instructions also they’re really pretty
I have been saving cereal box liners for years to reuse in the kitchen but now some are going to make there way to my craft room!! Thank you!
Angela Dear, how do you reuse them in the kitchen? I'd love to know!
Runs to the kitchen to find an empty cereal packet... Love this idea!! 👍👍
Hehe love it!!
I love these I don’t have a embossing machine but I still want to try this I am just getting started in junk journaling thanks for the idea’s I watch you all the time
Thanks for all your brilliant ideas
Your ideas are so fantastic. you are easy to listen to, give great detail in all of your tutorials. You are my new, go-to source for inspiration. Thanks for all you contribute!
I'm so glad! Thank you Marika :)
Great idea. Wonderful way to recycle. My kids are grown & my grandchildren don’t eat cereal. But I think maybe cracker boxes or something I will keep my eyes open. If only I crafted when my boys were young. OMG the cereal they went through! Thank you!
cheryl2455 I love cheeze-it crackers and I use the liners to make bags and envelopes.
Great idea!! I love the recycling aspect!
I absolutely love this idea and no I have never seen it done before. You have the most amazing little creations that we can all do. I'm trying it tonight.
Thank you so much Madilyn!!
I just found your channel a few mins ago n watched this video n I already love you. You are up cycling n that’s keeping the feral liners from going into a trash dump n making something useful to boot. I love it in fact I’m going into my pantry n get rid of the old cereal I should’ve thrown out awhile back , now I’m glad I put it off. Thank you for such a useful n wonderful idea. I can’t wait to see more of your videos. You are great.
Thank you so much Pam!! I am very environmentally conscious and it's a huge part of my crafting. I just love it that you feel the same. Thank you!
Thankyou, this little journal is gorgeous ❤
I love your passion for repurposing things that would otherwise be thrown away :)
I LOVE the fact that you recycle stuff to make craft. Thank you so much!
Not ridiculous at all, I think these are cute!
Thank you so much 😊
Again another brilliant idea
Omystars!! You are so creative!! What a great upcycling idea!! I love your ideas!! I am big into recycling!! Tfs🤗😍
I love ❤️ this !! I save those liners as well … Thank You 🙏 for sharing !!!
Very cool! I love reusing stuff that others throw away. My husband thinks I’m crazy when I carry “trash” into my craft room. But then again he is amazed a few days later when I walkout with something really cool. Lol!
Thank you for all your great idea’s, you’re awesome!
Thank you so much! My hubby is exactly the same! haha
Thank you so much for this video! Glassine bags are expensive and this is a great upcycle project. We don't eat much cereal, so I will have to beg some from relatives. I have saved Archivers bags before they closed all their stores and those would make perfect frosted envelopes.
I totally agree about the glassine bags. Expensive and hard to come by here in Australia!
Great easy idea, never thought of using cereal liners, thanks.....
Glad it was helpful!
I’m a new subbie and I love that you use things from around your house, up cycling is awesome! Thanks for sharing your ideas.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way you recycle common items we all have around the house.
I plan to save my cereal bags. I love all your 💡 ideas
Thank you Rubi :)
How clever you are! I love your ideas, which are getting me to look at things in a totally different way.🌸
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching :)
We just had wheat thins and spinach dip for New Years and I used the box to make a small box for my washi tapes...looked at the liner and decided it was too dusty to use. I will rethink that after the next box of crackers. Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic idea! Especially since glassine bags are not available here in Denmark. I have been making mine out of baking paper. Thanks for sharing this. I will be making some for sure. Love from Denmark
Thank you Eydna, they don't seem to be readily available in Australia either ! Thank you for watching :)
The embossing finishes it beautifully!
Absolutely brilliant! 😃
Amazing idea. Love it. Thank u for sharing. God Bless.
This is a terrific idea! I save the plastic and use it for drop cloths under painty projects. I love finding ways to lessen the amount of stuff that ends up in a landfill. TFS. I did.
Thats a great idea and use of cereal liners. I am also always finding ways to lessen the amount of rubbish :)
lovely bags. thank you for sharing this.
You have the BEST ideas!!! 💖💝Thank you so much for sharing 🙏
Thank you! 😊
Great idea! Good suggestions from viewers here. Would try folding the large sheet in half AND THEN sewing the little bags. Cut them out after they're sewn. May have to use some washi or painter's tape on the sewing machine for guidelines. Even with fabric, its easier to cut out pieces or shapes after sewing.
Excellent tip, thank you :)
Awesome recycle idea.
Cool. I knew I saved those liners for a reason.
Super idea. I will try this. Thx for sharing 💕
You have ideas I haven't seen anywhere else. I love this! I also appreciate your step by step organization.
Now this will give me a reason to buy cereal again....love this!
Thank you for another bit of inspiration. It is a wonderful idea to use within a journal. Looks like I had better get started. Again, thank you for sharing. xo
Thank you 😊 Have fun!!
I love seeing the sewing they are adorable!
Thank you so much Debra!!
Been wondering what to do with cereal bag insides. I think that's a great idea and I even had one in my stash of paper etc. I am really enjoying your videos and ideas. All practical and easy to do and add to . Thanks for your time and effort..
Thank you so much Cheryl. I'm glad you like this idea :)
You are so clever. Love this idea.
Very nice 👍🏼
Thank you for sharing
What a great use of "what you have around'. Brilliant
I really like this look. Thank you 😊
I saved my last cereal liner and wondered what I'd do with it - now I know! TFS
Very clever idea.
Wow! I luv it!! Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!,
Yes!! That's my mantra!!
Thank you. I’ve wanted to, most unsuccessfully buy glassine bags and now you’ve taught me how to make my own - something new to learn. Most grateful.💕
Thank you Eileen, I'm glad you found it useful!!
Love, love, love your JJ. Genius textured effect, the light catches on it beautifully, and I love the crunchy sound! I haven’t bought cereal in years, I’m going to ask my friends what they eat for breakfast 😏
Hehehe yes! I love the crunchy sound too! I don't eat cereal either, but my kids have a little bit in their porridge. It looks so nice as little bags in our JJs rather than trash in the bin :)
Love everything about this channel. Fantastic ideas, you are a genius! Thank you for sharing your talent! 😊
Thank you so much Gretchen, it really means a lot!
@@TreasureBooks you are so welcome!
Very good tutorial! TFS! Judyxx
I love this idea! Thank you!
Terrific idea I don't sew but I will try the washie tape thanks a lot
Ive been doing that for a while now, good job
Fantastic idea, love it.
In order to punch a hole in that kind of material you should place it between two pieces of paper or 1 piece of paper. then it will work
Loved this!
Wonderful tutorial, clear instructions, thank you so much for another really useful idea 😊
Thank you Jo!
Brilliant. I have been looking at these bags and thinking about making bags out of them but you have done all the experimenting for me. Just love the embossing. Would not have thought of doing that.
Thank you Dianne!!!
