What a terrific idea. As you mentioned, the texture and “noise” are an added bonus. I love paper that satisfies my tactile and hearing senses. Btw, I often use essential oils to add “smell” to my journals, so you have sight, sound, touch and smell…!!!!

This is an awesome idea. I've made them using baby oil but it's a huge mess. I've got tons of napkins. Tfs. Oh a little tip. When you're mod podging, if you will tear a piece of plastic wrap and ball it up, it makes the perfect tool for smoothing your project and doesn't stick or tear. 😉

Thanks to Nik I am spraying anything paper! To deal with the blowing around problem, I lay my paper on cardboard and use straight pins in the corners.

Dear Lolly, I can’t thank you enough for your advice to razor off with a ruler and craft knife the uneven excess of the interior journal pages. I’ve made two JJs; each time it was crazy-making, trying to cut off excess with my trimmer, first the right side of one page, then the left, until everything fit inside the cover, but nearly as unevenly as when I started. Also, I too watched Nik’s Video, now yours, and am ready to go outside with my giant piece of cardboard, ,my spray shield, and start spraying some napkins. In addition, you might find excellent pointers on decoupage through Patti Elhoff’s tutorials. She’s done nothing but decoupage for like decades. For instance, always spread the decoupage glue from the center out. Patio elf. Upcycle with Decoupage. I’m so glad to now be a steady viewer of yours!

Great ideas. Have you seen the technique of adding modpodge to the paper and letting it dry. Then add your napkin on top of the dry modpodge and iron on top of napkin with piece of parchment on top. The heat of iron will melt the modpodge and fuse it to napkin with no wrinkles at all

@LollyPalooza

no! Nice idea! I have placed my card stock down, then a sheet of plastic wrap, then the napkin and a protective paper such as parchment. I have ironed that together so that the plastic wrap melted and adhered the napkin to the card stock
