Hi Kari. I put the watered glue in a bowl and put the fabric in that, squeeze it out and let dry. It's faster that way and I can do a batch of fabric. I love what you've done! TFS.

I was thinking this same thing as I watched. Glad to know that this works!!
If you wanted an aged or distressed look you can put instant coffee in the water you mix the glue in and it will "paint" it with a patina Loved the colours and patterns in the sheeting one :)

Can you tell me what her glue:water ratio is? I heard it (I think) the first time I watched this vid and failed to write it down, now I’ve watched 3 more times and get so distracted watching the process, I miss the ratio. I tried wining it, but my tissues lifted from the fabric 😢. Please help a fellow crafter with an attention problem 😅.

@@stellabella6839 Start with a 1 to 1 ratio and add more glue or water til it looks like hers. Keep your paper on the plastic base, and peel it off after it dries completely.
You can also use clear silicone caulk, spread it evenly across the whole of the project, let it dry, and then it's waterproof!

Interesting. It may resist cracking as well, being for rubbery?
This is such an incredible method, producing a unique, useful, and beautiful material for arts, crafts, journaling. I don't know how I've never encountered this technique before as I have been crafting for 60 years and have watched 1000s of youtubes in the last several years. Thought I'd see and tried it all. This absolutely blows me away! TFS.

Fabulous! Great cover. I also like that it is strong, fabric, and translucent. Would love to know how it stands up to wear and tear over time. About 5 years ago, I made a cover for my checks using two layers of brown paperbag paper painted with acrylic paint. It has taken a beating in my purse because I have my eyeglasses, my wallet, and keys in there. After about 5 years, it is beginning to show some wear around the corners and some edges. I used some bookbinding tape on the fold to protect it. Everyone thought it was leather. They had a hard time believing it was paper. I thought it would only last a few months. To my surprise, it has been over 5 years

Oooh lovely! Must admit I’ve never seen this idea before. My ‘girls’ look to me for new ideas and I think, well I know, one of them would be very interested. A small group of us, 5 in total, meet every Friday afternoon for a variety of crafty stuff, eg. cross stitch, chicken scratch, embroidery, making and covering boxes, mosaic work … I’ve got them making felt ornaments and after finding a huge box filled with silk scarves of all sizes (you wouldn’t believe it) I’m working on how to simplify silk painting in the room we have allocated just for us! They have done scrapbooking but as everyone is French they stick to regimented designs, so boring I could die! So back to this project it’s certainly got me excited! Never done journaling myself but it’s something I may like 🤔 …. I have a few sketchbooks in my stash because I can’t resist buying them …. I was thinking of making a book cover for one … do you think your idea is flexible for a hard book cover? Anyway must dash as it’s Friday and the girls are meeting up! I’ve subscribed because your ideas are gorgeous and you sound like a lot of fun!
