These would be beautiful as appliqués for outfits. Use soft, lightweight cottons in place of paper, etc. also lightweight fusible interfacing in place of paper. A satin stitch around the edge as a finishing touch. I love your techniques.
Yes! Thanks for sharing
I was thinking the same thing 😊
And/or fridge magnets. Glue a simple magnet on back. They definitely need a way of being displayed.
Thankyou for your ideas ! I wondered what to use them for! I have no imagination what so ever!
Great idea❤
Спасибо за прекрасную идею. Если Ваши изделия шить на плотной ткани, можно использовать их для шикарных аппликацией на различных изделиях. Успехов Вам и новых идей.
This was fabulous. I'm thinking of adapting this lovelie art form to make place mats. Wouldn't they be beautiful in the table seeing.
What a great idea!!! Love it
Absolutely gorgeous! I love this idea for using my fabric scaps! I will definitely make some for my journals. I was thinking while watching your tutorial that doing several in a stocking shape would be nice for Christmas. I thought I'd attach a felt backing to make a pouch for filling them with candies or treats for the residents at my nearby retirement center. They'll make perfect "random acts of kindness" gifts! Thank you for sharing your amazing creativity. 🫶
Sharon, what a lovely idea. Now I have this year’s project for the 2 homes that are near me. Thanx for the idea. Happy holidays to you.

@@barbaragaudreau8830, thank you. I enjoy spreading a little joy where I can. Kindness is so easy and the happiness it brings is long remembered. It doesn't have to be a huge production or expensive endeavor, it just needs to be heartfelt and genuine. I'm sure the residents will love what you create! 🫶
🤗😍🍀💚❤🙏🏾
I love that idea! Will have to work that up for next Christmas. I was thinking stocking shape as well but couldn’t figure out how to make it a stocking nor who to give them too. Thank you.
WAs thinking same thing, making for others while recycling 😊
I'm enjoying your tutorials because of the step-by-step process, and what set you apart for me is that you were not afraid to say you did or didn't enjoy the process or the finished work. You LOVED some pieces & not liking so much others. It gets me out of the "everything has to be perfect" frame of mind and puts me into a "let's explore together" perspective, which helps me relax & enjoy. Thank you! Teri C. Indiana, USA
Thank you 👌you were a delight to watch and listen to 👍❤My favourite was the beautiful tree and I plan to make one and also one from my stack of photos as well🥰
❤Thank you so much for sharing. Taking us through the process one step at a time really helped. Love that I now have another way to use up the small scraps that I treasure. I would like to try making luggage tags, but I know paper wouldn’t hold up, but maybe it could be a beginning step. Any thoughts on what I could use on the back to make it durable? Also could you recommend a liquid sealer or glue for the front to make it durable as well? Any thoughts from others would also be appreciated. 😊😊❤

This. She's my favorite artist and crafter.
Thanks, Natasa This is so creative! Two recommendations I would offer: 1) dust out the bobbin area so that paper scraps don't clog the machine, and 2)it's easier to cut fabric with dedicated scissors because paper tends to dull scissors faster than fabric.
Thanks for the tips!
I was thinking of that, but was wondering because I would also be cutting the paper as well as the fabric. I have a wonderful pair of fabric scissors and don’t think I ever want them to touch paper. 😊
I use my paper scissors when cutting both. Yeah, my fabric scissors will never touch paper!
So fun! You have a good design eye. Love your free and easy attitude towards your work. Makes it more fun. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR IDEAS AND TALENT.
Don't forget you can sharpen scissors by cutting aluminium foil repeatedly. Maybe just sharpen some regular scissors for this job, if you don't want to risk expensive shears
You could also make these into gift tags/ornaments by attaching a loop of ribbon at the top. As always, thank you for the tutorial and for the inspiration.
That would be good. Although people just throw a tag in the bin and you could just have a plain one and spend the time with your family instead. Like I can ser this being a fun thing for kids to make to pass the time but I can't see why an adult would do it unless at a nursing home to keep them busy. 🤔 there are so many things an able bodied adult could be doing with theie time to contribute to society than playing with scraps to make these.
I “discovered” TH-cam a couple yrs ago during a long recovery from an accident. I’d seen a few of your videos, and have increased my paper crafting in the last 6-8 mos. I’ve watched more of your work, even told my husband the other day about how MUCH I enjoy your videos. Your voice captures my attention, your accent is lovely, and your passion for your creativity shows loud & clear. I’m recovering now from surgery 2 weeks ago (another accident in July of this yr.) and this time my R arm is involved & currently immobilized. I was in a flurry of creative activity before surgery trying to get some Christmas projects done. Last night I couldn’t sleep, was surfing amaz for supplies and something I searched for brought up 3 images, 2 were paper but the third looked like a book. Why is a book coming up I wondered? Oh WOW- I drilled down and it’s a book about creating with all things paper. I see the authors name- can it be Natasa from Treasure books? I got so excited, what wonderful serendipity….I ordered the book, think I’ll get it tomorrow, read the whole sample, your story is amazing and I’m so pleased for you that this wonderful book has been published! Thanks for enriching my life during a difficult time. My fingers are just itching to implement more of your ideas (made myself a lovely prayer journal this summer with some of your ideas & inspiration)! I’m going to see how much I can do with just my left hand/arm. You ROCK!!! Blessings on you!
Wandalindsay, what a kind message you left, I hope your arm is healed and you are crafting your little heart out as I know this video is a few months old. 🙏 😊
It’s amazing what I’ve gotten done in less than an hour!!! I grabbed my stack of scraps and my sewing machine and I’ve had a fun time creating! So far I’ve had the most fun with the hearts and the trees!!!
What a fun project! beautiful!
Подскажите пожалуйста а потом готовые сердечки и деревья Вы где используете? Или другие предложенные варианты? Мне понравилось всё! Но что с ними потом я буду делать как смогу сшить все?❤😂😊😮
I have followed you for the longest time. However, I have yet to make my own journal. But…I just ordered your book, so I feel you will be in my studio room beside me to guide me. I’m so excited.
This tutorial has inspired me to begin my junk journal journey at age 76. I appreciate the detailed instructions you provide. Thank you very much. ❤️❤️❤️
What do you do with a junk journal?
To make the sewing process faster, lower feed dogs and switch to a free motion foot. Also, you could substitute the paper for thick embroidery interfacing (non- bonding). You then can sew your design directly onto a quilt that can be washed - but be sure to sew all the corners down in your piece to avoid loose fabric.
Was looking a non-paper method for this project! Cheers
I thought the same and would love the shapes sewn onto quilt blocks.
Wish it was on now! I'll have to wait impatiently for tomorrow night, just love a new Natasa video.😊😊
You’ve done it again! 😃 I Love that you’re always bringing us projects “thinking outside the box” …. This is Amazing! Just yesterday I was decluttering and having a hard time parting with a few of my late mom’s favorite blouses ..(because they remind me so much of certain special moments)…so I decided I was going to cut off some scraps to stick in my journal. This idea is perfect .. I can make them into a heart or butterfly shape instead …making them even more meaningful…Thank you! ❤❤❤
I absolutely love this project! I think the butterflies and trees are my favorite. I am definitely going to try this project myself. I thought maybe a teapot would be nice too. Thanks Natasha for another great idea.
What would you do with a load of random butterflies and mushrooms or tea pots? I mean it looks fun but then you've got a box of mushrooms instead of a box of scraps. And that doesn't seem a whole lot better.
They could be used…🤔 let your imagination flow!
Appliqué on clothing, pillows, quilt blocks, a journal cover, mixed media art project.
They could be framed to create a scenery, a tree branch with butterflies gathered as decor.
They could be gifted or sold- some people would love that item for their creative process but maybe don’t want to make it.
That’s just a few thoughts, I’m sure there’s many more options🤪
❤️😀
Your projects are so gorgeous! The lace flower on the tree is stunning. I love your work. You are an artist who loves to share creativity. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Wow!!! Fantastic idea again Natasia!!! Do I have any fabric scraps???? 🤔. Oh, possibly enough to supply all your viewers 😂.
Also this is an amazing idea to keep safe sentimental scraps I can’t bear to throw/give away. Thank you ❤.
This is a great project for using up scraps. It's also a stress free way to practice sewing around curves or using a decorative stitch without worrying about ruining a project or having to pick stitches to start over. Unlike a blouse or a hand bag these can be made perfectly imperfect love it!
absolutely love this. it goes right along with how I use up tiny scraps of fabric, to make new fabric on fusible interfacing. love scraps of fabric projects
I never have to ask any questions with your tutorials, you cover everything i great details! well done! Thank you for sharing your ideas with us. I always feel inspired after watching your videos! please never stop!
Oh WOWEEEEE!!!!!!!!! These are adorable, I have crates of materials from doing quilts and slow stitching, this has given me hope to use them up, I will give some to Good Will but keeping the nicest ones to create these beautiful items youv'e made, especially those butterflies. Thankyou for showing this. x
The circle reminds me of my mother's hand stitched Victorian crazy quilts. Just beautiful layers of rich fabrics. I LOVE your method as I never had the patience my mother did.😊 And I really like that you draw what you want to make these.
I truly enjoy how you re-imagine the arts❤❤❤ Just FAB dear lady!!
This idea is great. I love all your tutorials, especially this one. I was having trouble finding lilac butterfly towels for my bathroom. So I'm going use your idea, but attach it to cloth instead of paper. And I'll use your patch work idea with various different styles of lilac, purple. Then sew them onto the towels. Thank you so much for all your marvelous ideas. I don't miss a one.
EXCELLENT 🎉the HEARTS❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ my faves, use a little light or bright paint to lighten dark areas 🎨
It's very nice idea, love it, I have done it before with all of my journals in many ways, and it's nice to let you use your leftover fabric . But still I like your inspiration.
I simply LOVE your tutorials. I find that when I watch some tutorials, they tend to be very difficult for me to follow. But when I watch your videos, your step by step instructions are so easy to follow. You are also very focused on what you are doing and not a lot of unnecessary talking. I’ve already made a journal following one of your tutorials. I’m definitely going to make a few of these!!!
I’ve been following you for a couple of years now, and every project is as exciting to me as your first one! Thank you for your creativity and inspiration 😊
Awesome!!! I hoarded hubby's neckties after he retired from his "9-5"! When you cut them open, these make wonderful fabric pieces!!!
Merci beaucoup pour ce partage. Le cœur avec détail en dentelle noire est mon préféré. Cette technique peut vraiment être utilisée pour différents projets...je vais tester ! Merci encore et rendez vous à la prochaine vidéo car j'adore votre univers qui mélange le papier et le tissu. ❤
Hey Natasha, stunning as usual. You're always on point, you never miss 🥰 What I love about your channel is that you make everyone feel included even if you don't have all the things. You always show ways to do something if you dont have sewing machine, or a scoreboard, etc. Thank you for that. Thanks for saying you find stuff when thrifting and in bargain bins, cause that make a person like me feel okay about not buying digitals and stuff. Anyway, you are the bees knees to me 💜 see you in the next video ✌🏾
The next level of amazingness... :) The mushrooms and hearts are my favorites in this video. The elongated heart (the one with the pocket) inspired me to make similar combos in various proportions (for now -- just templates for them). The point about focal points is especially useful for me (anything could be pulled to the extra height with those). And the writing visible through the shear fabric in the tag actually inspired me to repeat that - find a nice quote and cover it with semi-transparent fabric. Thanks!! 🍄♥
I agree. I loved the writing peeking thru the fabric. It adds an extra touch to the project.
I just love this idea. I am currently making a family history cookbook for my grandsons and the tree will be an excellent idea for the cover of the book which will signify a family tree. Thank you for such a detailed step by step tutuorial.
Merci Natasa, tout est magnifique. J'adore tout ce que tu fais. C'est un plaisir de regarder tes vidéos. 😍😍😍🦋🌹🦋🌹❤❤❤
As always, so inspiring! I'm thinking Christmas shapes for a holiday journal - stockings, pine trees, bells, etc. I was also thinking basic cookie cutters (maybe enlarged) would be good inspiration for shapes. I keep thinking you will need to do a 2nd book at some point with your ideas since your first one came out (which I love!), and the anticipation is exciting (please!). Thanks so much Natasa for being so generous in sharing your ideas!!
Saludos desde Maracaibo Venezuela
Es la primera vez que veo tus videos y es hermoso e inspirador lo que haces. Muchas, muchas gracias por compartir,
These are so cute and just awesome!!!! I don’t know why I’m so in love with this idea. I have made shapes like this with paper bits and I liked them a lot, but these look like little tiny quilts. Thank you so much for coming up with this idea. I am gonna have to make a tree! I even have some of the big butterflies from Dollar Tree. I love, love, love your channel!
Oh my! Those butterflies are beautiful, can hardly wait!
Oh my goodness! Your butterflies are the best seeing how a butterfly is the logo for my business. But I love them all. Can’t wait to get started! 😃
Awesome. I have fabric that needs something to do. Can’t wait. ❤
I’m just learning junk journaling, sense I’ve found your channel I’ve learned so much. Thank you so much for the inspiration. I love them all.
Great idea!
Great project!! People could start a fun swap project and collect them with each other!!!! Write a note..message..poem..beautifulllllllllll saying..inspiration!!!!thank you for being so clever i love you things..your the best😊
So much fun and reminds me of the crazy quilts my grandmother made. Such treasures to have now that she’s gone. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us once again. 💜
These are beautiful! I do not sew, but I think quite a few of these ideas can be made from paper as well! The butterflies are amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us!
Hi Everybody! From Oregon, USA
Hi Annette😊
Favorite Boho circle and mushrooms. Such good instructions and tips. TY.
They are really beautiful! I do love the hearts and butterflies. I can envision many uses for these!
Love these! I'm really getting into collaging with paper and fabric, snippet rolls, masterboards etc, and now I can add this to my range. Everything you made here is just perfect! I loved the tree best of all.
I seriously love this project! The butterflies and mushrooms and trees are something I definitely want to try 🥰 thanks for sharing!
I love your projects. My favorite today was the Boho style. Thank you! Cordoba, Argentina
Thank you so much Natasa, you make any project look easy. for us to give it a try. I love hearts so I have to say they are my favorites.
I love this! Can't wait to get started! I also fussy cut both ways too. Thank you so much for all your inspiring, fun ideas! ❤
These are awesome. It has an applique feel and will look fabulous in a journal. So many uses for these. Thanks Natasha!!
Thank you for such a beautiful idea. I loved the butterfly and mushrooms. I am hoping to make some and add them to my sewing projects.
What beautiful adds to a journal!!!
Loving this idea!! I have a ton of Christmas ribbons and I might make some of these in the shapes of stars, bells and round ornaments. Looking forward to trying this!!
Beautiful and super creative. Love it. Thank you, Natasha for sharing an idea to help embellish our journals and reduce scraps.
Thank you so much!
I love this idea. My favourite is the tree. I’m going to try doing little people as I think the finished item is strong enough for children to handle. My children had this wonderful book that had many different pockets made of felt, they had the initial letter of the object that was tucked within….. for eg…..T for our lovely ‘tree’. So I’m going to make a cloth book, with pockets and little people that cd pop out and play…… surrounded with trees, hearts, houses maybe. A fabulous project for these stormy, winter days. Thankyou for your wonderful idea, giving much inspiration to your viewers for sure 🌳 🌴❤️ ⭐️😊.
Hello! I love the hearts and the butterflies and then the tags. Oh and the mushrooms, trees and circles. All of them!
I love that you came up with a project idea and ran with it, making lots of shapes and many pieces. This video came at the perfect time as I was trying to make snippet rolls with my fabric scraps. I wasn't enjoying the restriction of making the item into a long strip and of course I just ended up with even more scraps (just smaller pieces 😅)
I should comment after watching the whole video; I loved this project and will be making the butterflies first as they were my favorite
Hi Natasha these are amazing I can't wait to try making some. I think they would also look beautiful on a piece of canvas..you could make a scene from the different shapes..ie.. a house,tree,sun etc..
Very pretty! Butterflies are my favorite. Looking to do this in future. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful! This is a great way to use fabric scraps and other things that I had no idea what to do with that are hanging out in my home. Thank you for these creative ideas. I like your butterflies a lot!
Can’t wait! X
These are gorgeous! I am missing the swaps. I look forward to joining you all next year.
Tammy
I love this! I have a lot of pieces of upholstery samples and you have inspired me on how to use them. Thank you. I think the butterfly is my favorite, but I like them all.
Love the last tree and the 2tone heart are my favorite. Makes me want to get sew.
I could see these on garments. Would be lovely on a denim jacket, a skirt, vest, many things. Even on a purse or shopping bag to make them distinctive and special.
But I love them on the journal too! Just delightful and most create people have those scraps.
Justo estaba visualizando esa idea en los bolsos de compras. Hermosos!
Thank you again for this inspiration! I love and hoard fabric and scraps ! I have a bunch of small upholstery scraps to do some of these with that my husband gave to me that were left over after the distributor cancelled those sample cards and books!🥰
I love them all my goodness it fabulous lovely difference
The tree . Nice way to use scraps thanks
I especially like the tree and mushrooms! These will make great journal toppers. Thank you for sharing your idea!
The mushrooms are my favorite. And now with gnomes being all the rage, I could see these being used in so many ways. Thank you so much 💕👍💕👍💕
Love them! My favorite is the two tone heart and the boho circle ❤ Thank you for sharing!
Had to come back in with another comment just let you know how cool this is. I will try it for sure. I'm thinking it would be fun to try an envelope too. TFS. 😊
I love the Hearts ! That's what I'm going to try.. I love lace,, so I will be incorporating lace all over the place& silver and gold threads.. Thanks for your inspiration! 🎉
Beautiful. There are lots of uses for these. Thank you for sharing your work.
Loved this project so much! Raining and cold so I made a pot of soup and I am crafting all day. Cannot wait to make these. Thank you!…. Oh… I love all that you made! 💕
Thank you! I don't have any Christmas decorations as starting life again. It is giving me ideas for Christmas garlands! Thank you x
I love watching you! You are not like alot others and just following what everbody else is making right now. You come up with your own ideas and they are si refreshing! You are a ttrue aetist! Not just a crafter. Thank you soooo much sharing your creativity! I am also a quilter. I love the crazy quilt looks of these projects. I used to quilt with mom before she passed. I have lots of pics with her quilting. These have inspired me to make a journal that includes the pics and the quilted shapes.i think i will do mine on the paper we use to paper piece so i could then apply to more fabric on back so i ciuld quilt them by hand then apply the cardstock on the back. You have totally inspired me!!!!!
I just love these, what a beautiful idea. Thank you for sharing x
These are really cute. You could use these on all sorts of things. My favorite is the tree. But they're all beautiful.
Thank you! 😊
Those are beautiful! Thank you for sharing
These are wonderful!!!!!!!!!!! You have the BEST ideas Natasha! Thank you for all your inspiration and sharing with us!💜💜💜 The tree is my favorite!!!
Thank you so much!
Great for making homemade valentines- special messages written on the back and sent in a handmade envelope! Thank you♥️
This is just the reason I love my TH-cam. I can just have a look at something that ‘pops up’ on my screen and lo and behold I’ve found TREASURE!! INSPIRATION!! Thankyou for this, lovely, lovely, lovely. I know I can do this ok, it’s not something that’s difficult and will take ages to do. In fact, I can feel a PJ day coming on…… I’ll just bury myself in my sewing room, a nice Agatha Christie audio book or nice bit of music……. the sky’s the limit 😍. So, again I say ‘thankyou very much’. I can use a bit of interfacing instead of paper and put lovely shapes in my needle case books.
You sound exactly like like myself…..a good ol Murdering of Roger Acroyd or a trip on the Orient Express and I can bury myself in my sewing nook with this lovely, easy but gorgeous project. Love it, good luck to you.
Bonjour Natacha and groupes😁🇨🇦 Awww those are so cute , thanks for the great insperation idée I love love love 💕
I absolutely love this! I could listen to you talk about literally anything but these are so beautiful and I love the scraps you selected together
They’re also gorgeous and what an excellent job
As soon as I saw these they reminded me of crazy quilts. But the circle you did first inspired me. I can Doll shapes cut out with patchwork clothes. 😃
They are beautiful my favorite is the butterfly’s and tree!!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️
My favorite is the mushrooms! But really all of them are beautiful! What a unique idea for a part of a cover of a journal. Thank you!💜
These are lovely. The mushrooms are my favorite. These would be very nice gifts to be used in a variety of ways, including really sweet ornaments to hang around the house or on a tree. I also very much like the simple shaped gift tags. Thank you for this great idea.
I love them all, but especially the tree and butterflies. I have plenty of scrap fabric and lace that I can make some of these. Thank you, Natassa, for sharing and teaching how to make them. 🙂❤️
Thanks for the fabulous idea for scraps, Nastasa! I immediately created these two simple shapes with my bits and bobs. 🤗
I love the butterflies and also the hearts.
I love this project! The mushrooms are my favorite. You are amazing!
Oh this will be a fun project to try. I can think of lots of uses. Thanks for sharing your fabulous shapes with us!
Thank you for taking the time to share your talent and enthusiasm with us. Your videos are so pleasant and actually inspire me to try your projects...not just watch videos all day!
I love the tree this is amazing work all are great would be nice in journals also use has a tuck in this is a great video thank you for sharing your work and story behind them
Theola
I just love all of them. Fun project ! I would love to make a quilt like that
You a were the one that inspired me to start making junk journals - it all started with 10 free things to make a journal
Yessssss!!!!
What a great way to create texture and color and a way to uae scraps. I love the heart as a tuck spot.
