CLASS DESCRIPTION:
How To Make Fabric Paper:
I think we should lobby for 5 seasons instead of 4. The fifth one should be called Back-to-School and not just because the kids are getting back into a routine. It's the time of year you walk into any office supply or discount store and the front aisles are filled and overflowing with new, delicious, colorful art supplies. Can't you just smell all the artsy goodness when you enter the store? It can wake up your senses as much as evergreens and candy canes!
Now, I'm sure the creators of these bins of goodness don't label them as art supplies, but nevertheless, that's what I call them and I stock up because the prices are super!
I love taking advantage of back-to-school sales to replenish my studio with kids' construction paper and anything else I use a lot like glue sticks, pens, crayons and composition notebooks. I especially love white or other light colors of construction paper because I can do so much with it, like make my own Fabric Paper. (And, if it's not school-supply time of year, that doesn't stop me from finding construction paper because it's available year round.)
Have you ever tried making Fabric Paper? It's probably more fun than you should be allowed to have. Fabric Paper is simply a combination of paper and fabric put together in such a way that the characteristics of both are strengthened.
By using a few basic supplies from office supply and fabric stores you can create beautiful Fabric Paper that people will drool over. (Just watch that they don't drool ON it. LoL!)
After playing with colorful shapes of oil pastels on paper, you'll learn how to turn construction paper into a beautifully pliable, stitchable Fabric Paper. It's an amazing, yet incredibly simple technique that doesn't use messy glue nor does it require hours of drying time. BONUS!
Although Fabric Paper isn't washable, you can use it for all kinds of fun projects like journal covers, greeting cards or post cards, for wallhangings or art quilts, bookmarks, and you can even make your own charms and beads. I bet you'll think of lots more ways to use your awesome fabric-paper, too. Using construction paper is definitely not just for kids!
Joining the class is really easy. Just click the button in the video and I'll see you in class.

Oh gosh...it's a good thing I didn't watch this close to bedtime because I would not be able to sleep. Who can sleep when your mind is full of ideas and your fingers are itching to work? Can't wait to try this, thank you so much for sharing with us. 🌻
I know the feeling!!
Your description of looking at where you want to sew is just like when learning how to drive and the instructor tell you to look at where you want to go and that way you can thread a needle while driving. LOL So both driving and sewing use each others analogies. HILARIOUS. That has to be one of the BEST tutorial I have seen in a very long time and this technique would actually make for the best Art Journal cover EVER. I know what cover I am making for my upcoming Art Journal. TFS your astounding talent with us, it is much appreciated.
+Celine Barberio Celine, you're very kind. ;-) Thanks so much for watching and for your wonderful comments. I love teaching and have been teaching something to someone since I was about 10. Lol! Seriously. I somehow bribed my classmates to give up recess so I could "make them into a choir." Makes me laugh now to think of it. ;-) Stay Creative!
The preparation and organization you do before you ever turn on the camera is so apparent. Your pacing is beautiful and makes it easy to follow and a pleasure to learn. Not many teachers can carry that much detail and that many minutes. Brava! And much gratitude for your wonderful techniques.
+Robin Alcorn Robin, I'm really glad that you enjoy my video classes. Thanks for your very kind comments. Stay creative!
I have never seen this before. I really learned a lot
Dot from UK
Long video but worth every second full of information, I have been sewing for years but today I learned a lot. Thank you for sharing, I can see me watching the video again and taking notes. Dot.
I've been creating fabric paper for years now and love it's versatility! I have a sewing machine and really can't keep up with the bobbin thing and thread changes. Need to have someone teach me how to really see then I could do some stitching on my paper. Your's are gorgeous ,Like you!!
Hi Linda. I love combining all sorts of paper and fabric together. I, too, love the versatility. I usually use gray or tan thread in the bobbin unless a specific color of thread like red or white is required. You can always do hand stitching on the fabric-paper. I've done that and love that effect, too. Thanks for watching!
This video is Wonderful!!
Thank you soo much!
I prefer the multi- colored work but do love it all!!
As soon as I finish my Pysanky for a craft show, I will try this out!!💕🥰🇺🇦🌻
Lovely work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge seven years later it is still being viewed well appreciate it
I have never seen fabric paper made this way. Your video was so interesting , informative, and easy to understand. Thank you for sharing.
You are one of the instructor i have listened and watched on you tube . Thank you so much for the tip about free motion , I t has never been explained the way you explained. Once i heard you explain the way to view the use of the motion i saw how i was fighting doing the motion. Thank you
Thank you. I love this master class

Barb, great video. I learned a lot and you gave me the answer to how to move forward into the next level with my art. I am a Chilean artist based in Dallas and I do paint on newsprint follow the same process you do with the iron and when I'm done I pat the paper onto a canvas. and. the result is amazing. Your suggestion about the transparent fabric I will definitely add into the canvas for a new look. Thank You! / romanho

Darlene Bromberger Oil pastels can be a little challenging but I love using them and trying new things with them.

Barb, thanks SO much for an amazing tutorial on how to make beautiful fabric paper.....I have been having a blast with these techniques! I am hooked!! lol I have a question about lining the inside of the journal...that is what I decided to make with my fabric paper because I just adore journals! Anyway, can you please offer some suggestions on lining the wrong side of the fabric paper....I'm stuck on that part and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.....Deb
+Deborah Ring Truthfully, most often I leave the inside without lining because I like the texture of the stitching. You could also add a layer of cotton fabric as a lining before stitching around the edge to hold the pieces together.
This is not what I was searching youtube for, but this was so great!! I learned about so many different types of things to craft with. Thank you for making this. I am def going to check out some of your other videos.

Briliant new Friend Here. Thank you for sharing this awesome tutorial 👍
Barb, thank you for a well done tutorial, not to mention a pretty awesome project! The video was well informed, patient, not rushed. I wondered what I could do with all the leftover construction paper that I had since the grandkids are well out of that stage. I will definitely make this. Oh the possibilities! So again, thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Really a unique technique Barb you are a very talented woman, my admiration and respect, a lot details and explanation which I really enjoy it . I wish I could do this, but it is to much for me. A lot of work, thought the results look great.
Hi there. Thanks very much for watching this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. There are many, many more full length classes in the member area of the website. I'm glad you enjoyed watching the process. It's a lot of fun! Stay Creative!
This looks like fun! It would be great to do this with a heavy, cotton watercolor paper, fabric paint, and/or fabric medium with acrylic paint... Then you could wash it! You could use a wax-based, washable "crayon" as well for the resist too. VERY inspiring class!
The info on stitches & fusible webbing is great too! I've never heard of the circle stitching foot or attachment for the sewing machine before. I'm going to have to find your tutorial on that as well! That would make a fun design for quilting too! Making interlocking circles on a quilt, you could make some incredible designs that I've done on paper (flowers, tile designs, geometric designs, etc.) that I've never seen on a quilt!
Great video! I've been thinking about sewing my first quilt, and wondered what kind of design I would do for the quilting part... Now I have a lot more possibilities!
Thank you!
It's amazing to bring together ideas from different places, then put them all together!
Great video! Seems I need to pick out some fabric now! Hmmm!

Constance Coachman Yes, construction paper is a fun material to use this way. Enjoy!

Hi Lise. Thank you for watching this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. There are many, many more video classes located there in the member area, too. This is a fun technique, for sure and I'm glad you enjoyed seeing it. Thanks for your nice comment. Stay Creative!
My toddlers use tons of water whenever we paint and paper rips and colors are watered down.. this is perfect and inexpensive for them and I'm soooo so curious and excited to make fabric paper myself... Awesome craft for adults and kids. Thank you Barb.. I subbed and been binge watching you all morning... :)
Hi Shannon! Welcome to my channel. I'm so glad that you enjoyed watching this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. There are many, many other creative arts classes on a variety of topics located in the member area of the website. I never thought about kids doing this, but it's a great idea. I hope you have a wonderful time making fabric-paper. Thanks for watching. Stay Creative!
I adored your tutorial on turning paper into fabric. I sew and could see myself making these "fabrics", and then embroidering a poem on them, but I'm lacking the vision on how to mount it so it can be hung on the wall. I think that would make a nice gift. Any ideas?
Hi Terri. The finished fabric-paper is pretty sturdy so you might just fuse another fabric to the back and stitch around the edges. Or, you could bind the edges as for a quilt. Another idea would be to frame the piece. Loads of ideas. ;-) Thanks so much for watching this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. You'll find loads of other video classes located in the member area of this site. Thanks, again, for watching. Stay Creative!
The absolute best video and art class I have seen and I have watched a lot over the years. Can't wait to do this as it brings together so many aspects of my hobbies. Your presentation and camera views are excellent. I definetly will be following your many series. Thank you so much for all your time and work that goes into these.
Thank you so much, Bonnie. I'm very glad to know that you enjoyed this sample video class. There are many, many more classes located at HowToGetCreative.com. Feel free to take a peek. Thanks for watching and Stay Creative!
Such a wonderful class!!! So many ideas are spinning in my head.
TheHappyDiane Good! That 's what I'm hoping for - get those creative juices flowing. :-)
I love this tutorial. I have so many ideas for this. I was wondering if I needed to put tulle on the paper? Could I just stitch with some gold thread directly onto the paper? I was thinking of using pieces of fabric paper and stitching them onto another piece of fabric paper with fancy stitches and thread.
My theory is always, "Try and see what happens." Personally, I like the way the fabric paper feels with the tulle over it, but you might not. Never hesitate to take it and go beyond what I've shown you. This is a sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. There are lots more creative classes located on the site. Feel free to take a peek sometime. Thanks for watching and Stay Creative!
Just tried this technique and love it! Personally I love that you dont cut out anything because you give some very good info and tips that is helpful when I get to that 'step' that I'm unsure about.
Thanks so much, Sue. I'm glad you enjoyed the Fabric-paper Video Class. This is a sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. There are lots and lots of creative arts videos located there. Feel free to check it out anytime. Thanks for watching!

Fascinating!
I like this technique.
Brand new to me, this fabric paper and it's amazing!!! Thank you so very much for this lesson! I'm so excited to try it!! I haven't brought out my sewing machine in over 20 years...wonder if it will even work!!! LOL!
Hi Nancy. You can make fabric-paper in several different ways. Basically, once you combine paper and fabric together to create a new sheet, you have fabric-paper! I have to admit that this is my favorite way to make it. Thanks for watching this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. Stay Creative! (PS - I'd recommend getting your machine serviced. Lol!)
What a GREAT class! Thank you!
Hi Carla. I'm really glad that you enjoyed this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. There are loads of creative arts video classes located in the member area of the site. I hope you enjoy making your own fabric-papers. Such a versatile art material. Again, thanks for watching. Stay Creative!
was very interesting fabric construction class - was this your idea or did you learn from another
Just found you and enjoyed your video so much! You are a great teacher! This is the first I have heard of the procedure and hope to try it soon! Thanks!
Wow, Barb this was amazing! I just bought my first sewing machine, so, I don't know if I can do that fancy sewing work. I just love this though. It's got so much depth! Thanks for inspiring me!!
Juliana Beasley Give it a try. Most machines are capable of free-motion stitching. Just takes practice and the correct settings for your machine. Check your owner's manual for the details.
How to Get Creative - Barb Owen Thanks Barb. I really hope I make your next Ustream. I was sorry I missed it yesterday. Take care and thanks!
I follow your channel alot & just adore you (your funny cat comments) and your work! I'm not quite seeing a resist effect. One could simply use the oil pastels on top of the acrylic wash & obtain the same effect. Or am I missing something?
Hi Phyllis. Thanks so much for watching this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. Perhaps the camera doesn't show the resist accurately. I filmed this several years ago and our cameras were not as optimal for showing detail. If you try the technique, I'd suggest trying it both ways with the oil pastel to see which you prefer. I like it better under the acrylic, but you might like it better the other way. Thanks for your nice comment. ;-) Stay Creative!
Wonderful information. Question: Can you marble the paper with acrylic paint and no oil pastels? Ruth
Hi Ruth. I'm not sure what you mean by marble paper. The oil pastels add color to the paper as well as acting as a resist for the acrylic paint washes. You could try inexpensive kids crayons instead of the oil pastels. Thanks for watching this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. Stay Creative!
This looks fantastic. But if I understand well you Will need a special sewingmachine with all kind of stitches. I can only do straight and zigzag. Thanks for the tutorial

There is always something new to learn isn't there. Thanks for explaining ATC and the size. I joined some groups that like to swap ATC and now I think I what they are. Just your creative art on a two and a half by three and a half size. Did I get that right? Thanks again for a new technique to use what I mostly have already. Gale

Hay, first of all thank you for a new challenge for me to do. However I have a question. How thick is the paper you use? (in grams). There are so many different kidspapers.
Kind regards from The Netherlands.

Hi there. Thank you so much for watching. Stay Creative!
Love the simplcity of this construction paper fabric. My husband is in a small assisted living facility and they have asked for volunteers to come up with arts and crafts activities I have most of the supplies needed for this and believe that, as you presented it in simple steps, and working with a very small group, they would have fun. i have been looking for something like this .... Do you have any suggestions or objections? There is no money involved , just a few hours of fun for them. AGain, thank you for your great video presentations. Sewcrazycrow
I hope that the residents have a great time. Please do it with my blessing. I understand assisted living and I'm so happy that you are doing this with them. Enjoy! I really don't have any suggestions other than to be patient and have a good time.
Love this tutorial! BTW, I found parchment paper at the 99 cent store!
