I like your idea of having the muslin base but honestly, I really like the look of scrunching up the paper again & again to soften it ( w/ cream, oil, etc) and just make it more interesting. Thank you for sharing. 🥰
Hello I am so glad i came acrossed your channel, i subscribed and shared thank you so much for sharing. Your instructions were very clear and easy and i am definitely going to make this ❤❤❤❤❤
I've watched several different tutorials on this and yours looks the easiest to do main my because of your explanations and instructions! Thank you for making it seem so clear to understand. Now, I can pull out all the bits and bobs of papers that I have and make my own unique fabric paper! 💕💕
Found you today. Love it and your work...inspiring. Glad you drop words from memory whilst on camera...doing 5 things at once...happy to hear the word whisperer photographer chime in!!
Oh my gosh--what a WONDERFUL video! I've seen bits of this technique but your video took us through the entire creation process and then you even showed us practical applications of the finished product! I'm a card maker of sorts so I was really delighted to see how you took the pear paper, cut out an individual pear and then paired (pun intended) it with the framed flowers! I live in the United States so please pardon me for asking what might be a silly question--do you have access to a product called Wink of Stella brush? I believe the product is also sold through Stampin' Up. When I saw your cupcake paper I thought of Wink of Stella for the frosting. It comes in a brush pen and you stroke the brush over whatever you want to have a coating of what I call micro glitter (it's very, very fine glitter). I also want to mention that seeing the various angles of your craft studio made me wish I were there to peek through all of it--it was sort of like seeing a candy store with all the delicious bits on display but without being able to eat them! Again, thank you so much for your wonderful video and thank you to your filming partner (I loved that he helped you find the word you wanted (script?) because that's what my husband always did for me too. I've given you a thumb's up and subscribed to your channel and am eager to see all that I will learn through you!
Hi Barb F Thank you so much for those lovely words. I’ve never heard of that glitter that you mentioned but it sounds like you have access to such cool supplies in the United States. Glad you like my work space,the only downside to it is there is not much room to have ladies in to teach. But it might be a good excuse to move the furniture around to see if I can have maybe fit in 3or4 ladies. Thanks again for your lovely words xx

@@tebbitttextiles2849 May I ask what country you live in? I'll be happy to do a bit of Google research to see if they're carried or at least shipped to wherever you are.
@@UsernameBarbF hi again I’m in England on the south coast. But don’t worry I’ll have a look myself. I watched the video and it certainly would look good on the fabric paper. Thanks for the information Xxx
These look great. I’m still learning about using fabric paper, but many of the tutorials have a stage of crumpling the fabric paper up a few times, in order to soften the paper fibers up and make the whole piece seem more pliable like fabric. It’s obviously not necessary for the projects you do, and it would alter how you made them, but I’d be interested in what you think of the idea of doing that as part of your process? Thank you.
Hi Ann. I actually don’t crumple up the fabric paper, I iron the pieces after they are dry. If you keep the glue mixture to 50/50 it should be pretty manageable. If you place it on a soft acrylic felt it makes super book covers, book pages things like that. I also like to use it with the die cutting machine. It works brilliantly cutting out the shapes for use on handmade cards. 🙂
Wow I just found you. What an awesome craft you are doing, my hubby may not be happy though as I am going to try this lol, but the reason I watched this as I am learning watercolour painting and the price of cotton paper is shocking here in new Zealand so am wondering if I can make my own? Thanks for sharing...new subby here
lovely paper. Any hints tips or tricks using torn tissue or napkins, etc? What about adding threads or little left over pieces of fabric, lace, or ribbon? Great tutorial!
For a long time I was struggling with how to strengthen a large (13 x 15 inch) napkin that I wanted to decoupage onto furniture. Unlike with some crafty things when wrinkles are charming, I needed the napkins perfectly flat and smooth like a piece of fabric. I was, essentially, trying to make my own wallpaper, if you will. I tried all sorts of methods and nothing worked because a surface that large and a substance as thin as a top layer of a napkin is going to wrinkle when coming into contact with anything wet. I even tried the ironing between two pieces of cling wrap and no luck. Then I ran across a video that finally solved my problem and it is fusible web, the stuff that delicate fabrics are ironed onto in order to make them easier to handle for sewing. You just peel off the unprinted layer of your napkin, iron the printed top layer, lay it face down on parchment paper then lay the fusible web (glue side down) on the napkin, with another layer of parchment paper over it, and iron. In an instant, your napkin is like fabric! Then you can do whatever, like paint on a gloss medium, paint or stencil over the napkin, whatever your heart desires, and the napkin will not wrinkle up or tear! In your case, the fusible web would replace your muslin. You can get fusible web in different thicknesses to suit what you want. It's a miracle! Dried glue activated by heat.
@@tebbitttextiles2849 You're welcome and I'm excited for you try it. Because I don't sew, I never knew such a thing existed and I'd been thinking "if only there were such a things as dry glue" and lo and behold, there is!
Thank you so much for this video and straight forward technique; the fabric papers turn out great! Definitely giving this a try soon. P.S. could you use the tissue backs from the napkins for this step? @ 12:15
Thank you for your kind comments. The tissue paper has to be pretty strong and the paper in the layers of a napkin are too thin and will disintegrate. Hope this answers your question. 🙂
Hi Ann I’m not sure what you are asking me as I don’t make quilts with the fabric paper. I do turn the end fabric into books and wall hangings, there are videos on both of those things,but not quilts I’m afraid.
Please explain the glue…sounds like “pba” . I can’t wait…I’m in a quilting group…want to do something different for gifts for the ladies at Christmas and their birthdays. Thanks so much.
You don’t have to use muslin but to be honest I’ve never wanted to use anything heavier for this type of fabric paper. I also find it cuts on die-cutting machines. It worth trying with other fabrics such as a cotton. It all depends on what you are going to use it for. The stronger form of this is done on acrylic felt because that needs a sturdy base for the heavier paper. Hope this helps x
As you can see in the video I use paper napkins they make a super version of the fabric paper. Try splitting the napkins as they have either two or three layers it depends on how thick you want the end result. Warning though you can get obsessed with collecting them😀 I did and have a rather large collection 😂
No I make fabric paper to compliment my work with embroidery. It’s great to cut and make shapes with as well as making book covers, book pages. I even make labels 🏷 with it.
I am new at embroidery doing more and more. I would love if you could make a video like this (so clear) and show me some instructions and how you do your embroidery please😊
Hello, I am a newbie but have done a lot of reading and watching. This was a great demo and I watched carefully, then went ahead and stuffed it up. maybe I should have left the glued muslin fabric to dry before putting on more glue and laying down the beautiful napkin because as soon as I started glueing, the wet glue started moving the napkin and making holes……boo hoo!
Sorry this happened to your beautiful napkin , they can be very delicate especially if you have separated the layers. I hope you keep trying and don’t let it put you off , maybe try a different napkin perhaps. I know I have some very flimsy ones. If it keeps happening then miss out the top layer of tissue and let the whole piece dry it will be a bit more delicate but will still be ok. Or try putting the glue onto the strips of tissue then lay them onto the napkin. If the tissue is robust enough it should work. Good luck xx
Hi. You start the process by laying the papers onto muslin fabric and covering with strips of tissue that’s why it’s called fabric paper because the the paper has a fabric backing. Hope that helps x
Hello again Christine, after I sent my comment I realized that I should have sent you a link to a video showing someone using Wink of Stella--here is a really short one: th-cam.com/video/AbYZPIvXnAk/w-d-xo.html Going under the assumption that perhaps you're not aware of Wink of Stella, there are also videos on how you can make your own refill of the product.

Hi Mary the glue I use is PVA it’s a water base glue and you need 50/50 glue water mix. X
Not sure what PVA glue is. Is it just a basic white glue like Elmers glue or school glue?
Yes that’s correct it’s just a water based glue. X

Gday , can you sew through this with a sewing machine, these would look awesome on a tote bag, thank you.
Yes Tracey you can , but back it with something that is strong as it is paper. Good luck hope it turns out the way you want it xx
