- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ส.ค. 2020
- Hello and thank you for being here. After watching @SigitaSigitascoffeestains. DIY stamp video she has inspired me to make this video showing you how I made my own faux gelli plate using household items. In one of her recent videos Sigita talks about her desire to make her own gelli plate and because I made my own when I began gelli printing a few years ago, I wanted to share this with her and with you. It is a great gelli plate hack that has worked for me for nearly four years! I hope you enjoy this video and find it helpful. My best to you and thank you so much for being here. Let me know what you think below. Thank you!

This has been one of my favorite gelli printing hacks. Let me know what you think and if you have tried or will try this method. 😊😚🥰
I definitely plan on trying this even though I do have a gelli plate. This will give me practice. Your video is so nice. Thank you for sharing💟
@@rhondamilash3367 It's a great alternative i think you'll enjoy. Thank you for being here! 😊
This is the best gelli printing hack ever.... I happened to have a pk of foam sheets and a huge snap lock bag... so we all know what I'm doing today, lol
@@leahsandow9300 You're off to a great start. Let me know how it turns out. 🤩
Hi Lilian! Thank you so much for this wonderful hack. I had borrowed a gel plate from a friend and had not really got on with it, so put it away quickly. I got my back and packing material ready this morning and have had so much fun with it! I'm still not sure that I would buy a gel plate as I think that they are very expensive and why would I need to when this hack works so well?
This is the first time I have come across so many unkind commentary on a creative channel. I live in the depths of Africa and a real Gelli plate is not only outside my budget but also unobtainable. Thank you, Lilian, for this great hack and trouble making the video. For the trolls: if you don"t like the chatting, use the forward button.
Welcome from Africa! I'm so happy you are here. Thank you so much for your kind words. The negativity is overshadowed by amazing and kind people such as yourself. It also takes just as much effort to be kind...people can do better. I appreciate you being here and hope you give this technique a try. A plastic bag may also work with slightly different results. Thank you again! :)
@@LilianGuerrero This weekend I am going to try. Looking forward and thanks again🙂
@@junkjournalsvideos1649 love your supportive comment, couldn't agree more. So grateful for arty enthusiast sharing a great hack for free!! @LilianGuerrero, love your sweet & useful video. Big hugs Sweethearts 🥰😍
Thank you so much! You are very kind as well. :)
Or find another channel! Keep your negative comments to yourself!
A while back I made silly putty from borax and white glue to clean my cars cup holder. I made some more with a little more borax (overactivated it) and used it to make a faux jelly plate! It wasn't quite smooth (tiny bit pitted) but it worked fine and was completely free!
How interesting is that! I'm sure the pitted surface added texture to the prints. :)
Thank you so much for your instant cheap effective gel plate! I went big! Bought a cheap yoga mat with no pattern on the surface. Cut it into a huge gel plate size! Covered it with tightly pulled and taped garbage bag, lo and behold... big gel plate! Then I needed acrylic retardant medium so my paint wld remain wet enough for long enough to pull a large print on large sheets of deli paper, tissue paper, A3 130g copy paper... and I used it to make gift wrap, collage fodder, greeting cards, limitless playtime! With stencils, stamps, mainly home made. Raid your recycling bin, pick leaves, feathers (for safety, soak in bleach for hours, then in soapy water, then sun dry), and even these long seal feathers can fit on my super sized gel plate! Thank you once again!
Wow, you really did go big. I love it! Playing with gelli prints is one of my favorite things to do and repurposing household items. It sounds like you had a ton of fun creating. Thanks for sharing your ideas and I'm so glad it worked out. :)
great idea to test out the process. Thanks for taking the time to share.
You're welcome!
Brilliant!! Definitely going to try this as I craft with a very limited income. Thank you!!!
Yes, give it a try. I think you'll really enjoy this technique. Thank you!😊
I had no idea about jelly printing! Looks fun can't wait to try it! Thank you so much for the tutorial
I'm sure once you try it you will love it. The hard part is knowing when to stop after you have started, hehe. Whether it's the gelli plate or the alternative method I show...it's still a super fun craft. Give it a go. TY! :)
Thanks for sharing this! I'm so excited to try this now!
Thanks Stacy, let me know what you think after giving it a try. 😀
I'm so excited to try this. Thank you!!!
Have fun!
I love the idea of gel printing but never tried it because I didn’t want to buy a gelli plate. Now, that I’ve seen this great hack & since I have packing material & gallon zip lock bags, I’m going to give this a try! Thanks for sharing!
Hello Gail! I know you will love trying this method of "gelli" printing. I now have a gelli plate but I still use my baggie. This is a link to one of my newer videos where I still use the baggie hack: th-cam.com/video/NziowATa3m8/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much for watching. Have fun creating and enjoy the process. :)
Love ❤️ the baggie idea. Been wanting to try geli printing. Thank you for sharing your time and talent. Hugs 🤗 DarvaDee

After checking the prices for geli plates, recipes for making geli plates, (and possibly mold developing) i was put off. Only to realise how simply using basic items as you illustrated, i can now still have fun!
Thanks a ton for saving the day!❤
Thank you! I recently uploaded an updated version of this technique. Have fun!
Love this so easy
Yes! Give it a try 😉
GREAT JOB....THANK YOU!!!
Thank you Leah! 😊😊😊
Hello Lilian, new subbie here over from Lyn Allan. Thank you ever so much for doing this video! I watched this last night but wanted to try it out first before coming back to comment. This is an absolutely fab hack and I hope you don’t mind but I’ve just done a video to show my subbies. I have of course linked your video. I’m doing a Gelli plate series at the moment so this hack will hopefully help anyone who doesn’t have a proper Gelli Plate! Thanks again. I love your fun spirit! Hugs, Dee xox 🇬🇧
Thanks Dee! 😊😊 So glad you are here. I'm flattered and yes, thank you for sharing this technique with alternative items. It was my absolute favorite before I owned the Gelli plates. I'm sure your subbies will love it! I'm on my way to watch your video. 😉
Best video, glad I found It! Got some foam and I'm printing😁 woot woot! Thank
Wow! And you've already given it a try? That's amazing, thank you for being here!🤩😊😄
@@LilianGuerrero you bet! And I got the prints to prove it haha😄
Lily, it makes me happy to know you enjoyed this hack. TY!
thank you for sharing this works great I love it 😊😊
You're Welcome 😊 Thank you for being here.
Thank you Lilian! This is such a great tutorial! I would like to try plate printing so this Is a good way to save a bit of Money!
Thank you and you're welcome! Give it a go...I'm sure you'll enjoy it. It's a great alternative 😀. Thank you for watching. 😊
Just found your channel and this DIY for gelli plates if right up my alley!! Perfect!
Hi K! I'm so happy you are here. Let me know if this works for you . 🙂
@@LilianGuerrero will do!
This is fabulous!I just scavaged around my garage(I save everything🤪) and fount thick packing foam, some weird textured styrofoam so I will be experimenting!Thanks for sharing and the inspiration-you are a terrific teacher also❤️
Those are junk treasures! 😆 Let me know how it turns out. Thank you for being here!😊
Thanks for the hack. I can't wait to try it. I'm going to try using some felt. 😁
Yes, do it! And the felt is a great idea. 🤩🤩🤩
Thank you so much for this!! Subbed and liked 🥰
Thanks for subbing! :)
I had no idea what gelli printing was until now! Thanks so much for sharing. I am going through all of your videos now!!
It's my favorite painty craft! Thank you for being here and watching my videos. 😊
This is such a cool technique. I'm definitely going to try it. I'm also addicted to your altered envelope houses right now. ✂️😁
I appreciate you watching my videos. Thank you so much! I recently uploaded an updated version of this. 😊
I absolutely LOVE this!! What a wonderful hack this is. I do have a gelli plate but hate cleaning it all the time plus I have more than 1 craft room so could use this in one of them and keep the gelli plate in the other. I am so going to use this. Also, I think I'll tape the baggie down a bit on the sides to hold it in place. TFS
Hi Donna, thank you. I used to clean it too but after watching more experienced "Gellier's" 😁😄😃 say they don't clean it...I stopped fussing over the cleaning. Now I get great little old bits come up with new pull prints. Thank you so much for watching and I hope you give gelli printing a go again. 😊😉😀
Hi Donna! I found that putting a damp cloth underneath the bag worked well to keep it in place!
Scusate ma col gelly plate è uguale, ogni volta che lo usi si pulisce da solo, anche qui devi pulire prima o poi!!!
and NOW I can teach several people without buying everyone a gelli plate!!!!! Thank you for this!
Yes! That's awesome...share with everybody. 😊😊😊
Came over from Sigitas channel, I loved this idea, I’ve never tried gelli printing so I’m going to try this hack as soon as I get a brayer ! 😊 new subscriber
Welcome! Thank you for subscribing to my channel! I hope you try it out. Please let me know what you think. 😊
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for being here and watching my video. 😊😊😊
What a great idea!! I am a new subbie to you and I wanted to let you know just how much I am enjoying the content that you create! Thank you for all you do!!
Hi and welcome! 😊😊😊Thank you for watching and enjoying my content. 😀 So happy you are here!
Oh wow, wee!! What a great idea.
I will definitely be trying your take on it.
I have wanted to try gelli rolling for some time but just couldn't be bothered with making or purchasing one in today's economy, so thanks for sharing your tutorial. It was much appreciated 😊 🌹
Thank you so much!
Love your hack dear Lilian, thanks so much for sharing! 🥰💞
On a tight budget, so gonna try this first! Prob will tape a sturdy bag to wood board, use sharpie to trace A4 art paper block, then fake-gelli away!
Love your cute nail polish 💙
You're welcome and thank you for being here and watching my video. I'm glad this has inspired you to create! Have fun.
I wish I had seen your video before buying my gelli plate. It’s good to know I can do this and not have to buy another. You are amazing!!!
Thank you for your kind words Rhonda! I go back and forth between the two. Thank you for watching. 😊
Definitely going to try, have a project that needs a gelli print, so going to use this method instead of buying a plate for once off print 👍
Have fun! I think you will love it!
thank you, I am usually go out an spend a fortune on new projects and then decide I don't like it, this gives me a chance to see if I like gelli painting or not. Thanks again.
You're welcome! I can totally relate with the overspending. This is a great alternative. Give it a try and I sure hope you enjoy the process. Thank you so much for watching. 😊☺🤩
This is awesome.. thankyou..
I've been wanting to try this and haven't had the funds to purchase a plate...I'm very excited to try..
I keep my nail polishes in the fridge and they dry quicker on your nails...
Thank you Cheryl! I hope you give it a try. Thanks for the tip on nail polish. 😊
❤ happy to find your channel! I love gelli printing also, but the cost not so much. Going to try your brilliant idea! Thank you 😊
Hello and thank you for being here. Have fun!
3 years later... THANK YOU!!! 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
It's never too late. Thank you for being here and watching my video.
Great hack that will save me $$$! Been wanting to try gelli printing but don’t need another round of specialized equipment, ya know?! Thanks SO much. 👍🏼
Yay! Thanks for watching and it really is a great DIY gelli plate. Let us know how it goes. 😊😁😃
I bought a gelli plate….. but I’ll try your plastic bag. I get it’s easy!!!! Thanks erin
Thank you for watching!
I am going to try this now, I need to create quickly some painty papers out of magazine pages for my new recipe junk journal. Instead of the foams you showed (i do not have them at the moment) i will use a square cut out of some old hoodie and glued to a piece of cardboard. Thanks for this fun video!
I'm so glad that this was helpful and you're able to use what you have. 😊
THANK YOU FOR THIS!! I was almost ready to buy gelatin and glycerin until I saw this, and I already have everything needed for this!! Will definitely give it a try as gelli printing has been on my mind for months 🎉
You're welcome! I hope you enjoy this method. Please let me know how it works out for you. Thank you for being here and watching my video.
@@LilianGuerrero I tried it out with fabric paint and sadly it did not really work, might have to do with the paints tho as they are very thin and dry out very fast (I used transparent colours.) The bag I used was also not new and it was a slightly different plastic than most ziploc bags I see, but I might try this again with acrylics and a different bag. The tests I did were on paper as I did not want to use a t-shirt for a first try
I'm so glad you gave it a try. Playing around until you get it how you like is part of the process. Enjoy the process, too. 😊
Will this method allow transfers?
@@denisegodman3396 it should if the bag is the right kind of plastic and your paints are also thick enough, my paints were probably too thin. Not a big loss to try on a piece of scrap paper either way!
Thank you so much for sharing your technique, I have been wanting to try gelli printing for a long time but couldn't justify the investment, especially for a craft I don't know if I would keep pursuing, so your suggestion is just perfect! Thanks again ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!!!!!!!
You're welcome! 😉
Thank you for showing this video. I am retired so on limited income. Gelli plate is not in my budget. I have all of the items needed for your process.
It's so much fun. But watch out It's hard to stop! 😄😊🤩 Thank you for being here.
I like the idea of gelli printing but have been afraid to spend the money for a gelli plate to try it so this is a perfect way to see if I will like it or not. Thank you for sharing this idea.
You're welcome!. I still use this method even though I now have a gelli plate. Hehe
Have fun. Give it a try!
Happy New Year!
This is such a fabulous idea. I’d have to pay over $100 not including shipping to Australia which is ridiculously expensive, and that’s for a for a medium size Gel plate. Thank you so much, I’ve always wondered if I could use plastic grocery bags also, it’s the same concept. I’ll have to give your idea a proper try. Thank you 👍✌️🙏❤️✨
Hello Yelena, thank you so much for being here and watching my video. This is a great alternative to the gel plate and super economical. Give it a try and I sure hope you enjoy the process. Thank you 😊
Thanks for this. I'll modify it for my likes with rigid backer board to make the plate heavier. This will be great for printing things that leave stains on geletine.
You're welcome! Glad it was helpful! :)
oh this is much easier. When I first saw the gelli plate I was bound and determined to make something work. I literally took everything off my kitchen counter taped a big piece of cardboard then sliced a white kitchen garbage bag and taped that down. It worked but I didn't have access to things. I've since moved, which I will never do again! Though I do have a new appreciation for boxes, Lol. Thankyou for this, can't wait to get started.
Thanks for being here Kate. Let me know how it works out for you. Have fun pulling prints! 😊
Great idea! I have come over to subscribe to your channel from Bettsy Doodle. I am going to have a go at doing this. Tfs xxx
Thank you! Betsy Doodle is awesome. Give it a try. It's a great alternative method. Have fun!😀
Brilliant idea. I have only just seen Gelli printing and found that you can make your own plate. I wanted to do it for after school club. However, finding the ingredients and understanding the right measurements is a nightmare. All the videos are from other countries to where I live (uk) so the measures are different. This idea is much simpler and way cheaper. I think I have all of these bits at home. Thankyou for this.
Thank you for being here and watching my video. I had also considered making a gel plate with gelatin but was concerned about mold if not properly stored. The baggie made better sense to me. It's easy and works great. Enjoy printing! 😊
Love this. I like the affection jellyroll printing but I will never buy a jelly-roll played as I'm not into buying expensive things. Always love DIY and I definitely love this. I will be giving it a try thank you so much
I hope you enjoy it! Thank you for being here and watching my video.
I will definitely try this...Never Gelli printed before.
Yay! Give it a go! 😊
Thank you
You're welcome :)
Nice thanks
Thank you!
Thank you, Lilian! I use a large piece of smooth yoga mat, covered it tightly with a large plastic bag, taped it to my table and voila! This way, the plastic surface is kept smooth and the whole thing stays in place while I work.
That's fantastic! I'm so glad this worked out for you. Great way to reuse an old yoga mat (or new, hehe)
Hey lil your awesome i have made 9 sheets already od diff. Designs angrungy designs so great thqnks kk nz
That's fantastic! I'm so glad it's working out for you. Thank you for being here and watching my videos.
I studied printing making in college probably took 7-8 classes but never came across this. I think gelli plates came out in 2010 many years after I went to art school. There was something about pulling editions after hearing the snapping from rolling the ink during a reduction print or lining up your image perfectly for a monoprint to be run thru the press. I think these methods make it more portable and accessible. I can only imagine my professors shock if I had pulled out a plastic bag
They would have called you innovative! 😅
I envy your studies...my early art lessons began with PBS and now the internet with a plethora of information. I love that I'm able to create art from a plastic bag. Regardless of the technique used it is super satisfying to pull a print. 😉 Thanks for being here. 😊
Thank you so,so much for doing this.I do have gelli plate ,just a small one and I really want A4 size.😁I did try your version of gelli plate as soon as you told me.It didnt work for me.It is not picking all paint from a bag.Soooo...I ordered A4 size....is coming...👌👌😍😍Thank you xx...Love your cards xx
Sigita, thank you for watching and giving my technique a try. I appreciate you taking the time. You are correct, the baggie method does not pick up all the paint. Once I realized I loved the gelli print hack I knew I would love the real thing which of course has better results. This is a good DIY for someone who is not ready to commit to buying the real deal. So happy your larger gelli plate is on the way, woohoo! :)
I stuffed a bag with foam that I used to make my chair cushions and it worked great. I used this before buying a real gelli plate that I love and when I want a small gelli plate I still use the bag with foam
Hi Linda, I am so happy to know you tried an alternative gelli plate method which worked for you! That's awesome!
I too, still use my baggie even though I have a couple Gelli plates. Thank you for sharing. 😊😊😊
This is absolutely awesome!! And also, can you tell me what brand that neon coral is? I must get some!
Thank you so much! It's a target brand from 2017. 😆😁😄🤭
Wow!! What a great idea. I like you, but I couldn't be bothered to create using gelatin, and the shop bought ones are even more expensive in today's economy.
I will definitely try your version, so😊 thanks for
Hello and Thank you for being here. It is a great alternative and works well. Hope you enjoy it! 😊

Love it,thank you so much.new single here
New sub. Typo lol
Hello and thank you so much! I'm happy you are here!😊
🌸🌸🌸
🤩🤩🤩
👏👏👏👍💜
Thank you! :)
I can hardly understand why a piece of plastic costs that much.. they are robbing people. I am glad people find creative solutions which make the same results. ty so much
I'm so glad you found this helpful! Thank you 😊
Took 25 mins to say 10 mins worth. However great hack, really useful to know.
Thanks for watching! I'm a chatty one. 😜😆😊🤩
Go to the Transcript if you want to cut to the chase.
Just found your video. It drew me in because I have been wanting to learn Gelli Printing, but it was cost prohibitive for me right now. This technique is amazing. Thank you!
P.S. What paint medium are you using? (Absolute newbie here)
Hello and welcome. I'm happy you are here. This method is a great alternative. I use inexpensive acrylic paints. In this video I used acrylic paints from Target but I usually purchase small inexpensive Folkart bottles at the craft store or any other brand acrylic paint. I hope you give it a try and fall in love. 😍😍😍
@@LilianGuerrero Thank you for sharing your talent and for spreading the joy! I have acrylics!!! 🤗 😘
I really appreciate your video. This seems like a very affordable way to try gelli printing. I do have a question though. What sort of brayer should I be looking for? Do you have a recommendation for what works best? Thank you for the video.
Hi! I think you will love this especially if you're trying it out for the first time. A soft rubber brayer will work . Have fun! Thank you for being here and watching my video.
@@LilianGuerrero wonderful! Thank you so very much!
Thank you for this. I'm definitely going to try this. How do you clean it or do you just get another baggie.
You're welcome! 😊 I don't clean the plate. The leftover bits of dry paint will pull when you place a layer of fresh paint. That's the beauty of gelli printing...the prints you pull will always be different and dried up leftover paint will add great texture and interest to the prints.
@@LilianGuerrero oh ok...thank you so much.
I have been making mine this way for years. I have a video here on TH-cam that I made over a year ago, and another one back in May. It sure is a great use for packaging. 🙂
It's the best gelli hack for sure. I'll definitely check out your videos. Thank you!😊
crafts from the dungeon
Who makes the stamp on upper left looks like day off dead face? Loved your tutorial hack for gelli printing.
Thank you! It's not a stamp...hehe...I hand painted it on a tile coaster. :)
,what a great idea, I was toying with making a gelli plate, but this is more my speed. how does it work if you want to use inks?
Thanks! I've not tried it with inks. Give it a go and I'll also give it a try. 😊 TY!
I made mine with silicone for construction (I don't know the name in English), it got some texture, but I even liked the effect
Wow Eloisa, that sounds interesting. Did you put the silicone in a mold to form a shape for gelli printing? I like the idea of it because I'm sure the texture is similar to gelatine. Fun!
@@LilianGuerrero I put it in a rectangular shape, and unfortunately I couldn't get it out. It was a little difficult to achieve. But I am satisfied with the result
Hi Eloisa! How did u made your silicone plate? I would like to try with clear silicone in a pan covered with a plastic bag so It doesnt stick. Does your plate still works after time? Thanks, have a nice day 🙂 @Eloisa Malaquias
Hi, do You believe that this "baggie" method can be also succesfully be used to print from printed photos? (Like from magazines, xeros, laser prints, etc.?)
Thank You
Great question! I've not tried it, yet. It's on my list of things to do. The best way is to give it a go and see what happens. Once I try this technique I will get back to you or if you do it, please let me know how it goes. Ready, set, go! ;) Thank you for watching.
Thanx for the replay. Tried it yesterday but without a success. Bye
Hello, could you say how i can clean it ?
Thank you so much for your super vidéo
Hello and thank you for watching my video. The best part of "gelli" printing is not cleaning the surface at all. You can pick up the left over bits of color by adding a layer of wet paint over the "gelli" plate and while the paint is fresh, pull a print with your paper and that should help pick up most of the bits which were left over from previous pulls...those bits, however look great on a print. I hope this helps. :)
@@LilianGuerrero thank you for your quick answer and precious advices.
@@odiledomalain2377 You're welcome 😊
Just checking but it looks like you left the ends of the bag open so it doesn't become a big air pillow? I have some new, small gelli plates for my students but will only use them with the older kids for fear of them getting destroyed. This would work well for the younger ones. No wasted investment and everyone gets a go! Will try at home. I think I'll try with a thicker foam sheet for even more cushioning and sturdiness. Thanks!
Hi! Yes, I do leave an opening to let out the air. I think this would be a perfect tool for your students! TYFW😊
I use a plastic sleeve protector with fun foam inside it, works well too. The plastic is a bit more firm
That's also a great idea! Thank you! 😊
I wish that I saw this before purchasing and I haven't even used mine yet 😕
You will love it either way. Gelli printing is so much fun regardless of which platform you use. Give it a try!
Nice texture from the plate surface. A creative person could have a lot of fun. I wonder if image transfers would work on this.
It will definitely get the creative juices flowing.
I've seen transfers being done on a gelli plate but I'll have to give it a try on this plate and see what happens. TFW! :)
Hello Lili, do you mind telling me what name brand paint you use in this video.
Thank you in advance.
HI Margie, let me try and remember, hehe. I believe these are acrylic paints I purchased at Target by Hand Made Modern, however, the acrylic paints I use most often are by Folkart. Are you giving this technique a try? :)
@@LilianGuerrero Hi. Yes I would love to give it a try but I have no idea what paint to purchase. Not sure if it has to be acrylic or glossy paint 🤷🏻♀️ I know Dollar Tree sell acrylic paint as well but not sure if it’s any good.
Thank you for replying.
@@margiesolis4315 You can use any acrylic paint... matte, glossy or satin. Give it a go. You can also use other mediums such as ink pads and alcohol inks but for starters try acrylic paint. Lots of great beginner tutorials on YT by Gelli Arts. 😊
@@LilianGuerrero oh my Gosh!!!! I just opened my mailbox 📫 and what a wonderful surprise to see the envelope you sent me. I feel like a little girl opening a Christmas gift 🤗🤗🤗 thank you so much for every single thing you sent me. I LOVE everything!
You are so generous to send me all these goodies.
Have a wonderful and blessed night and again Thank You ☺️
@@margiesolis4315 Good morning! I'm so happy you received your happy mail. Thank you my dear friend for your friendship and support. xo 😍
The colors of your paints are listed on the lids. the orange one was Hot cobalt
Lol I saw that after I recorded this. Hahaha 🤪🤭😂
This is a good way to create monoprints. Call them faux Gelliprints if you like.
Yes, I'm glad you think so.
It just went through my mind, I wonder how a sheet cut to size of PVC 2/3mm thick plastic, would work out as a gelli plate.
I needed to buy glycerine to make my Alcohol Blending solution and I have the alcohol and gelatine is cheap enough to buy, Imam thinking what the heck! I am going to have a go at making my own gel plate. They are expensive to buy especially if you don't know if you will like the technique.
Yes, you should totally execute your idea! There are no rules when it comes to creating. 😊😁😉 TFW
Have you tried this method with fabric? If so, how did it hold up to washing?
I have tried this on muslin fabric but I don't wash the fabric since I created the fabric prints to use it in my journals.
@@LilianGuerrerothank you for the prompt response. I think I'm going to try it and see how it holds up.
Comprate un flacone di silicone traslucido 20 o 30 share e fatevelo da sole!!!
I've purchased a gelli plate but I still use my plastic bag too. 😁

Use what you have and give it a go. 😊😊😊 Thank you for watching.
