I found your channel a week ago and was instantly mesmerized. I did not know what kind of starch you used so I went looking for some. I found liquid laundry starch and decided to try it. I made about a cup and a half of strong coffee and then added the liquid starch, several tablespoons, until the coffee thickened a bit. I followed your method and the results are absolutely stunning! I’m so excited to try the many techniques on your channel. Absolutely love your style and approach!

Thank you so much dear friend. I am really glad you liked everything 😊❤️

Love the projects you made with the napkin paper! 💜💜💜 I tried a few of the napkin papers, 2 worked perfectly. I tried adding some flat leaves, saved from eco-dying with the Sizzix, didn't work too well, separated where the leaves were placed, so once dry, pulled apart and used thinned glue to glue the napkins back together. I think the hardest part for me was knowing how long to iron the paper, seems it was either too dry and I couldn't remove from the parchment paper or not dry enough. I did finish the drying in the oven, I turn the oven on at 350 degrees, set the timer for 4 minutes and then shut it off, doesn't get up to temp, but gets warm enough, that way, if I forget it's in there, it doesn't catch fire, lol. So, gonna give it another try soon, thanks, another great tutorial! 😊

Very informative, thanks a lot! 39:09 I love the elastic band closure you showed here, super functional, accessible, and pretty. Your templates for making envelopes are much more convenient, versatile, easier to use and cheaper than commercial products. I like (love!) templates. Not only in my crafting, but everywhere I want to be productive, motivated and precise-ish. If you have any templates to share, please do that on your website. If not - that’s ok, they are pretty intuitive and anybody can make their own. For me having those templates in one spot is just facilitation for my memory. Which reminds me that I need to find time to consolidate my multiple storages of templates (physical and virtual). Also, if you are taking viewers requests for topics of videos, I’d volunteer the topic of templates (types, uses, storage, etc.) and also clever closures.

@Saacibo

4 ай бұрын

I find that even the smallest traces of oil in the mixture or on napkins can cause papers not to stick properly. Some baking papers are greasier than others and when layering the napkins avoid placing the inner sides onto the baking paper. They are super absorbent and can pick up oil from the baking papers. Hope this helps 😊❤️

If parchment paper is called baking paper.what is freezer paper called??

It’s a tricky question. I used baking paper, and I couldn’t find any information on the packaging about what was used to make it non stick, oil or wax. We don’t have freezer paper here, so I couldn’t test if it makes a difference. In your case, I would try with grease proof paper that you have. It seems like the right choice. I hope it gives you nice results. 😊❤️
