Nothing wrong with collating and chatting!
Very nice way to spend some time!!
Watching you glue napkins to fabric is very zen! Loved this video!
There is something about gluing and watching someone glue that is very calming. Thank you for yet another great idea.
Just what I need, another project to add to my list.
Thank you for your video
I've always loved mixed media Monday but today helped me to relax also. My sister passed away last Wednesday so it has been very difficult and still have the service to go through this week. Your soothing voice and calm mannerism has given this grieving lady a peaceful hour. Thank you !
Barbara - I'm so sad to read your comment. I have 2 sisters who mean the world to me. I can't imagine your loss. It's good to know that you can find a little comfort in our wonderful crafting community. I agree Gayle's voice is always calm and soothing and an uplifting part of the day. I pray you get through these next days and remember the things you loved most about your sister.
I’m so sorry for your loss, Barbara! Sending big hugs! Take good care of yourself during the difficult days ahead. 🤗❤️
Love this. I definitely will be trying this. Thanks for doing this again for us. Can't wait to see both covers tomorrow.
I enjoy watching you create. You are very inspiring for sure. So many beautiful napkins and such little time. Could watch you decoupaging napkins all day. Can’t wait to see the final results. Oh Gayle, I remember laying out in the sun with baby oil rubbed all over. We had no idea how bad that was. I would burn so bad that I looked like a lobster and couldn’t even lay down. Such silly teenagers we were. Those were the days! Thank you for sharing 🤗
Thanks for the end of the day de-stresser!! Was fun watching you decide what to put where!! Can't wait to see the "Dried" version!! TFS!! Hugs, Liz:)
I love this process and THAT gnome! So cozy looking.
I love this. I have lots of napkins and fabric. This is a great idea. Thanks for sharing. Have a blessed day.
I love watching you make these it’s so relaxing
Thanks for showing us this again Gayle. I've been wanting to try it & you saved me from having to find your other video on it. Perfect timing! 👌
Yasssssss!! I need Lace bundles from all your lovely scraps!🥀🥀
You had mentioned fabric paper in a previous video. I am grateful for your video. Cleared up alot of my questions. Thank you.🙂
Beautiful napkins! I love this simple technique -- Thanks for sharing!
Great News for your pathology results Gayle, so happy to hear that! I didn't know you can do fabric paper! That is just an outstanding technique. I can't wait to see it all dried up. So much fun making it, I have to try it myself! Lol, you made me laugh when you said you were saving the napkin backing in case no more toilet papers! so smart!!!
I am loving watching you do this, it is calming to me. I might try large tags this way.
Gayle, this was a fantastic Mixed Media Monday video. I really enjoyed the process and find watching this very relaxing. I am definitely going to give this one a try. I have a drawer full of napkins that I need to use and a LOT of fabric and Mod Podge. So, I am all set to go.
Thank you for the video and for the conversation. I love messy Art!
I watched your video where you did it with your left hand and had to give it a try. It's was so much fun. Can't wait to see these when they're dry.
This is one of my favorite projects of yours. I remember the one-armed video. It was one of the first ones I watched on your channel. I so look forward to your videos every day. They’re so inspiring and relaxing and give me a break from everything going on in the world that gives me anxiety. I think we’re going to have zoom holidays this year with the extended family. I still have two kids at home, though, so we’ll have some semblance of normalcy.
Good mixed-media-Monday morning.....I got this suggestion from another you tube watcher to use chapstick around the top of your jars so the lid won’t stick....
I will have to try this route. I’ve been using Vaseline on mine and it works but last time I opened the jar was on a warmer day and it got a little messy to deal with. Your suggestion just may be the solution that I’ve been needing. 👍🏻tfs.
You probably want to do it every 3 or 4 months..
Great idea! Will have to try it.
This looks so much fun Gayle! I’ll add it to my list of things to make, thanks for your company it’s helped me so much over the past 2 weeks, I had to say goodbye to my furry companion of 17 years and your videos have helped me to focus on my crafting and to keep busy xxx💕
At Susie’s Cottage I am so sorry for your loss. Our critters sure make our lives sweeter. I understand the grief when they’re gone.
Andrea Johns thank you Andrea, the quiet is the worst bit right now! xxx💕
I’m so sorry for your loss. The quiet is hard, I know. Big comforting hugs to you! ❤️
Gayle Agostinelli thank you Gayle it’s very much appreciated xxx💕
I can’t wait to try this... looks so intriguing
Beautiful fabric paper! I plan to try this sometime! Thanks for sharing!
Ooh they look delicious. Anticipation in big now. Bring on tomorrow. 😻
Thank you for showing this type of cover again. I find these fascinating! They look so crazy and then BAM! A beautiful book cover 😊
Gayle, I love this idea. I am planning on traveling to California from Missouri to celebrate Thanksgiving with my brothers and families. My dad will be 96 yrs old on Nov 5th and my youngest brothers who are twins will turn 60 on Nov 22nd. Hopefully there will not be Covid issues or violence after the election which would impact our traveling plans. The holidays are always enjoyable when families can celebrate together. I pray your family will be safe and you can enjoy Thanksgiving together and maybe even Christmas. God Bless.
Hi Gayle...I'm glad to hear that your test results came back good!!! Yah-Yah!!! The last time I did covers, I used just one layer of book pages (The small paperbacks seems to have thinner paper than the hardbacks). As always, thank you for the inspiration and for sharing!! Love ya!!
Can't wait to see finished paper! Great job!
Looking forward to seeing the dried works of yesterday💕🐬hugs
Love this process! Believe it or not, I have to buy napkins as I don’t have any! So now I get to shop. Thanks Gayle!
I definitely want to do this! This are absolutely gorgeous, Gayle! That gnome cover...omgosh! I purchased the gnome kit you shared on a previous video and it is so cute! I hope you create yours with us! ☕😉😍❤
Love this!i haven’t made one. Good way of using my napkins. Thanks for sharing 😍🌴
This looks fantastic, I just LOVE you’re videos, they fill me with so much inspiration Gayle, thank you
Thank you! Can't wait to try this.
Love this idea....something else to add to my "I want to try" list!! Our smoky air was gone yesterday and this morning we woke up to thick fog...😂 Glad your test came back good!! Off to the she shed to start another journal or two. Have a great day Gayle!! 💜
Good morning! I gotta try this! You make everything look so easy! Thanks for sharing! Blessings today! Enjoy your family!
*note to self: take Gayle’s advice and give it a shot. A little zen time letting napkins swim in an ocean of water downed mod podge sounds pretty good to me! 😁❤️
Skin Cancer on my face (Squamous Cell) removed years ago. From always playing outside as a kid and later living in tropics and having fair skin. So you are right, we didn't know back then how dangerous it all was. Thankful we have learned and have protective products especially for the little ones. Glad you are okay. =)
This is a great video! I love to have another way to make journal covers. And what a great way to use napkins. Thanks Gail.
I love "he just can't do it". I won't let my hubby use a chain saw. NO WAY. So I know what you mean about cleaning out the gutters. Can't wait to try one of these journal covers.
I remember the video you were referring to that was right after your shoulder surgery. That’s why I had to watch this one because I do remember that one turning out very nice too. 🙂
Yup I remember your video after you surgery and you showed up with your arm in the sling trying to craft and I was like, you go girl. lol
I have a plastic bad of bit of napkins and this would be a nice way to use them up.
So glad you had good news on your arm its a scary thing and you know my Mom and I used to lay by the pool and get a tan on purpose, we had no idea.
Thanks for the video, take care!
Thank you for sharing this process. I want to try it.
Thanks for sharing. Something new to try.
HI Gayle .I loved watching you make christmas fabric . My grandchildren would love to help making this I will give them a go . I will be watching you tomorrow to see how they turned out .Have a Happy Day Hugs Daphne in Australia xx .
I just love fabric paper! Hugz sweetie
I loved watching this lol. I don't know why, but I was just soo relaxed just watching the layers go on. I will have to try this one day when I get enough napkins. It looks like so much fun! Thank you for sharing! 🥰
I haven't mod lodged in a long time, you inspired me to do it again. I did one of these alongside you, well see how it turns out tomorrow lol. Its looking pretty sad right now. I'm looking forward to seeing yours, heading over to that video now. We haven't even discussed holiday plans with our kids yet, I think its going to be a very different season this year. Debbie :)
"Just in case toilet paper gets scarce again." I almost spit out my lunch. Busted me up. =) Love me some Gayle-ism!
😂🥴❤️
Great-- so easy & fun...I have loads of Xmas napkins & fabric, thanks for showing-- I can cut this up later for snippets also....or tags..
I remembered the one armed bandit doing this a few years ago...she’s much faster with two arms.🙂
I don’t exactly know what we’re doing for the holidays...we’re in the talking about it phase. My daughter is in the Air Force so we have missed many holidays with her. Hopefully we’ll get to see for at least one holiday this year. I can’t believe it’s almost that time again.
P.S. great video!
I love this. I think my December Daily will have this kind of cover. Need to find some more Christmas napkins. Our smoke is finally gone. The fires are not as close to us anymore and Thursday night it just poured down. My carport and other areas around us flooded. Crazy after having to evacuate my home.
Good morning sweet Gayle! I love mixed media Mondays!! YaY! I hope you have a great day! Hugs xoxo
Morning Lorie! ❤️
I have never seen thus done! That's a really cool idea for making covers. And I like the idea of making tags... made me think it would make really neat bookmarks! ❤❤❤
I did the same as you, sunburned many times. Some with blisters. I was very fair and my sister is olive. I tried to stay at the pool as long as she did. I go at least once a year to the dermatologist. I had one carcinoma on my face and a biopsy on two other places on my arm. I hate what I did to my skin. I wish I had known the damage I was doing.
Hi Gayle, love this! I really have to give it a try 🤗
Love watching and listening my friend, you make everyday a really grateful day!! Stunning Christmas cover! 📕🐞🦋🐝🧡
I will be trying this at the weekend ! X x
Can't wait to try this and use up all the pieces of napkins in my stash.
Love this technique! I have got to try it! Thanks for the inspiration!♥️
Gayle, another wonderful video and I look forward to tomorrow as seeing how things turned out. Hope you have a great day. Hugs 🤗
Your friend Cindy from a small town in Northern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
❤️❤️❤️
Morning yayyyy love mixed media
It's so pretty, can't wait to see it complete. I had to laugh when you talked about needing the backs if you can't get toilet paper, y hubby is 1 of ten kids in his family, so toilet paper was an issue at his house. So as long as I've known him he makes sure we have at least enough toilet paper for a year....lol, it's a joke between my daughter and I. But, it turned very good for us when there was a shortage. We even had to deliver some to my daughter lol. Have a great day!!!!! 😉
Hello Gayle. Quiet watcher here, but wanted to let you know that I adore this idea and have learned an immense amount from watching your videos daily. I don't have family close, so last year, I invited my junk journal friend over for Christmas dinner, some festive junk journaling and ornament making. I truly enjoy spending the holidays creating. Have a blessed day!
This is such a great technique!!! I have visions of journal covers dancing in my head!!!
Love that Christmas cover gayle,one day I'll try it when I have enough serviettes lol xx alanna
Quite clever!
Glad the dermatology test was ok😁 sorry your skies are smoky.
Hey Gayle! Just loved how these turned out! So colorful and fun!
So, my hubby will be retiring in a few months. We are discussing where we are going to live after. We know it won't be in PA. Always said it would be West somewhere near mountains. Well, this last few weeks we've been looking at Montana. Cascade area. It's not too far from Maelstrom AFB, which would utilize as my hubby was 21 years in the Air Force. And believe it's not too far off Helena. It's my hubby's plan to do lots of trout fishing like he used to do when he lived in WY. Not sure if the idea will stick...we've looked at other places and keep debating it. But we've seen property in the Cascade area we really like. It's like what I've pictured in my head for a long time for where we need to settle. It's fun to think about and who knows, maybe if would give you and me an opportunity to meet. That is if you would be open to that. I honestly would never push myself on you, Gayle.
Anyway, I sure hope your week is going well. God bless! Sue
How exciting for you both, Sue! Yep, Cascade is just up the road a bit! It’s between here and Great Falls where Maelstrom is located. It would be so fun to meet you! Let’s hope this rotten virus goes away, so socializing is doable again!! Best of luck with your decision! Enjoy the process and keep me updated!! Big hugs to you, my friend! ❤️
This is so beautiful! Love it! Our family has to rent a building to fit us all in, but this year we decide to forego Thanksgiving because of Covid. We average 125 people. My maternal Grandparents descendants. 8 children, 21 grandchildren, 40 great-grandchildren and 33 great-great grandchildren... and counting!
You could probably use the book pages and use it for tags and journaling cards!!!
Dear Gayle this is where I found your “world”. You were doing this technique with the shoulder sling and here I sit with my left shoulder in a sling after a torn rotor cuff surgery.
Ain’t life funny!😋. I do love the dependability of the unexpected! Love you my dear friend take care of yourself and Mr. A.
Love you too, Carolyn! 😘❤️
This is one of my favorite activities! It’s like my other favorite activity~COLLAGE❣️ TFS
Gayle, do you have a video showing how you used the cover on a journal. Would like to see how you used it. Thank you so much.
It’s funny, I just rewatched your other fabric paper making videos last night as I want to make some of these and need to know if watered PVA glue will work as well? My local craft supply stores have very little Mod Podge available at the moment. These are very relaxing to watch and I love how they turn out.
I think it probably will, but I haven’t tried it myself. ❤️
Love the covers. I made some after your last video on them but missed the part about a couple layers of white in the middle, so my last layer is kind of dark. But no worries, if you’ve taught me one thing, put some gesso on it and make it something else! 😀🍄
Hi Gayle I am on jury duty today and waiting to see if I get picked. I think it is going to be a long day. So I am going to watch your video and wish I could be in my craft room crafting. I will do my civic duty and craft later. Have a good day.
Thinking of you! I’ve been notified several times that I’m on the jury duty list, but every time the trial is canceled. I’ve always wanted to actually get to serve! Enjoy the experience! 😁❤️
In our family we call the little gnome a Jul Tomten. Tomte live on farms of kind people who put porridge out for them and in return they look after the farm animals.
That's it! I need to order a big thing of Mod Podge and find a mixing jar. I'm sure I have a pint Mason Jar around here somewheres. *lol* Thanks for sharing!
Enjoy mixed media Monday & I’ve got to try this technique.
Love the Gnome napkin. Do you know where you might have got it?
So in one of this weeks video, Mar 7-11, 2022, you were saving the white of napkins and said you used them for Fabric paper covers and to look those videos up, so I DID! hehehe QUESTION: how do you know when you're done? When do you start putting the actual cover napkins on? Inquiring minds want to know!
Good morning! I just love this. So pretty! Can’t wait to see them finished and dried tomorrow!
🙌🏽🙌🏽🤗👏🏽👏🏽🙋🏽♀️Thank you!!
Thank you
A cooking tip I found out a couple years ago if you cook your turkey breast side down instead of up your white meat is very moist.
I can’t wait to try this. Problem
Is I love all of my napkins! I might try tissue
When these are dried, are they pretty easy to cut down? Also, your bandaid reminded me of Les Nesman from WKRP in Cincinnati. He always had a bandaid somewhere on his head in every episode. Gayle, I really enjoyed your video today, and I may be making some journal covers with mask making scraps!
Yes they are pretty easy to cut. It think I cut these to “journal size” in the Wednesday video. 😁❤️
Hi from Sweden, love to see what you do, and I love it. Have you mixed glue and water when you do this. it is so beautiful
🎉i just found this and I love it. I tried this process yesterday. I used a light piece of fabric and 6 layers of napkins...2 layers of random pieces, 2 layers of white napkin pieces. I let it sit overnight. This morning, it was so stiff that I could barely bend it. The piece of fabric was kinda bubbled up on the outide and when I tried to bend the piece to book shape, the fabric just slid right off and into the floor. Any ideas on what I did wrong.
I’ve never seen this but I will be trying it. Beautiful job.
Interesting! I might have to try that! Our Dollar Tree used to have a good variety of decorative napkins, but lately, not so good. Also, Tuesday Morning had a good selection several years ago. Salina had a Tuesday Morning years ago, but it didn't stay long. Wichita had 2 but closed one recently and the last time I was in one there, the selection was not very good. I guess for a paper cover it wouldn't matter on lower layers if the napkins were pretty or not. I am also wondering if you can water down Elmers Glue instead of Modge Podge. I enjoy your videos so much! Thank you!
I have a pole with a suction thing that helps to change light bulbs, so you don't always have to get on a ladder. It probably doesn't work in all situations though.
Gayle, could you use wrapping paper along with the napkins? Also, can you use all kinds of fabric, or only cotton? Thanks! I have been wanting to do this for a long time.
Tissue paper might be okay, but not regular wrapping paper. Thicker paper makes the fabric paper to hard to bend. That’s why napkins are the perfect thickness. They make the fabric paper strong by pliable. ❤️
Hi Gayle. I was looking for the finished and dried photo of these. You say at the end you'd show them the next day but that video is about digitals and etsy. Did you ever share these when done? Thanks. Ps I'm a fairly new subscriber
If you search Gayle Agostinelli Fabric Paper, some of the videos that come up are a start to finish journal with the fabric paper cover in it’s final form. 😁❤️
Where did you find all of those beautiful napkins?!
Everywhere from the dollar store to Etsy. I like Truly All Supplies on Etsy for napkins. ❤
Love this, Gayle did you start with fabric or a napkin? Thanks for this awesome tutorial. 💜💜💜✌✌Sherry
Fabric is the first layer and will become the inside of the cover. Then 7 or 8 layers of napkins. ❤️
Gayle, have you tried ironing the napkins to copy paper by placing the plastic wrap in between the napkin and paper? Just curious.
Yes! I have a video on it. Search Gayle Agostinelli Napkin Paper. 😁❤️
Oh my I've never seen this before I'm new to junk journals this is something I must try thanks for sharing
Can You use coffee dyed music paper? I'm going try Stamp Napkin backs....Lisa Palmese Your Biggest fan lol
Hi Gayle, where do you get your pins from for your blues please? I keep buying them and they either rust or bend easy. Thank you x
I’ve received them in happy mail. But the trick is to use only stainless steel pins for your glue. ❤️
