Hi again! I am going thru my saved art YT & I loved watching this as much THIS time as I did 7 yrs ago! 7YEARS! I can’t believe how fast time flies! Anyway, thanks for sharing this. Are you still making beautiful things from your beloved book pages? I love your enthusiasm too.😊🌸
Real nice, I love to decoupage also. Now I’ll decoupage book pages......I just made decoupage Xmas cards but never thought to use book pages first....thanks...
Just in case it hasn’t been told here if you want to get rid of some of the wrinkles or air bubbles in the napkin & Deco Podge form. I cut out a cling wrap bunch it up then dap on the areas and a lot of it smoothes out so we’ll. It’s like magic. Love your work.
I have been collecting old books, bought napkins from Tuesday Morning and I have lots of decoupage glue. Now I can put them all together. Thanks for the video.
I am sure I told you this before, but since I am old and forgetful, I will tell you again - you are very creative. Thanks for the tutorial using book pages.
Hi Shemi! I enjoyed watching your video! Thank you for sharing the process. Looking forward to seeing more videos from you using the napkins for tags and even cards and journal pages! :)
Loved your video! I also use napkins and book pages in my crafts. I usually prepare the top layer of the napkin with Mod Podge first to make it stronger so I can cut it, rip it, etc. I love your technique of adhering the top layer straight onto the book page. Fabulous!!
Great idea! Love the way you did this. I didn't see the cling wrap technique on this video. I will watch more of your videos. Thank you! (Makes me wish I hadn't thrown out a bunch of books!)
these are gorgeous shemi, in fact I am waiting for some paint to dry on another project, so I am going to have ago at them right now. and its only 6.15am. lol have a wonderful day. hugs ginxxxxxx
Loved this (except the tearing of the book...sorry, old habits die hard). Beautiful voice you have and beautiful artwork, too. Thank you so much. Subscribed & liked. Peace,sass
TFS this great tutorial, your results Re gorgeous. I am so glad to have found your channel and look forward to watching more of your videos. Warmest best wishes from France. Susanne
I love the idea of using old books, though I also hate to see them damaged. Two hints, if you lightly dampen your thumb and index finger, then gently pinch the corner of the napkin, the layers separate easier. Also, if you add the napkin dry to the page and put the glue over the top, it helps keep wrinkles out and there’s less chance of tearing it. Beautiful job.
I know this is an older video, but I just caught it and I am wondering where you find those neat napkins at? I have been looking all over and all I find are usually plain colors or ugly designs. Sure like to get some neat napkin designs to work with. The technique you are doing is so much fun.
I bought a church hymnal from resale with the intention of doing a page craft. I’d go to it, and walk away from it for awhile, finally got up the nerve to go for it. I love the hymnals because they have the musical bars, notes and words. They make a wonderful base under translucent napkins and lace. So I know what others are talking about when they cringe at pages being torn from books. It’s best to have one or 2 books that are used for this purpose. We surely don’t want pages torn from multiple books.
i have tons of my gramma's old books and i cringe at tearing them up but in my heart i know they will have a better purpose if i do this with them! i love this. i will be scouring for napkins now!
Great job! Love making these too. I was gifted a bunch of old hymnals and have used a bit of them. What is the brand of the modge podge you're using here?
Shemi, these are beautiful; I am going to try this technique right now but I do have a question. Please tell me what you added to the top of the napkin page once it is finished? Thanks for sharing. Betty
hi Shemi!! I love the pages you done in this video and was wondering if these could be used to cover a plastic tote (like the ones from Walmart and Dollar Stores) to make them pretty??? I just subscribed to your videos and can't wait to see more!!! Keep up the great work!!! 😊
+Crystal Stamps HI Crystal, I think your idea would work! what beautiful tote bags ! I would love to see what you create. Thanks for watching and subscribing to my channel:) Take care Shemi
You probably know by now but to separate napkins just dampen your finger and thumb slightly then hold corner of napkin and open again quickly...the paper will stick to your finger and thumb and hey presto they're apart!
Junk Journal Jenny Welcome! And thank you for subscribing! I love your journals. Beautiful work. I just subscribed to your channel too. Blessings Shemi
I made these beautiful pages with paper napkins and vintage book pages . I used the same technique to create happy mail envelopes. Here's the video. th-cam.com/video/FmJcrCfvtlw/w-d-xo.html
I thought that part was a bit ironic, too-- "I love books" (tears page).."there's just something about them" (rips a chunk of pages out)...."this was a vintage book" (rip, rip, rip)... --but agreed, the results were lovely!
lol, Im a book person also, before you even said anything about the book being old, I think I was literally having a heart attack watching you tear those pages especially it being fairy tales....
YES! You are still making beautiful things but not just with book pages! Your Etsy shop is wonderful! YAY! I’m so glad you’re still creating! 🌺🌼🌸🌺🌼🌸🌺🌼

Is it possible to decoupage fabric on book paper...?
Great job! Love making these too. I was gifted a bunch of old hymnals and have used a bit of them.
What is the brand of the modge podge you're using here?
Shemi, these are beautiful; I am going to try this technique right now but I do have a question. Please tell me what you added to the top of the napkin page once it is finished? Thanks for sharing. Betty
Does mod podge give the same effect.. or do you prefer one brand versus the other??
love it....!!! Do you think that after doing that could I use that paper to decoupage a vase or jar with that paper? Or would it be to thick?
Thanks alot Shemi for this video! You've got a new subscriber :-)

I used the same technique to create happy mail envelopes. Here's the video. th-cam.com/video/FmJcrCfvtlw/w-d-xo.html
Shemi Dixon what kind of glue is that?
i cringed when you tore pages out....lovely result though
Me too when I saw Hans Christian Anderson! OMG
I thought that part was a bit ironic, too-- "I love books" (tears page).."there's just something about them" (rips a chunk of pages out)...."this was a vintage book" (rip, rip, rip)... --but agreed, the results were lovely!
lol, Im a book person also, before you even said anything about the book being old, I think I was literally having a heart attack watching you tear those pages especially it being fairy tales....
