Seriously? It's that easy? I thought I had to deal with wax and a hot iron and whatnot. Thanks for sharing and especially for demonstrating the different types of tissue paper. Can't wait to try this myself. Greetings from Germany, Andrea
Oh I was doing this on wax paper - I used napkins - I just need one more coat. MMM I thought I stumbled on to this idea myself too lol. We can always bet, it's been done before. Lol❤️🙏🏻💯🎉
When i make my vellium I take a cotton ball generously dip it in baby oil...gently rub the cotton ball with oil onto the paper. I sometimes wipe the excess off with a paper towel...set it aside and let dry...comes out great. I haven't used tissue paper but I have used different weight of papers and it looks and feels just like vellium.
Flowers I have seen and done it that way however the oil in the paper makes it hard to use in collage and other things that I do so this method works better for me.
Bethany so glad you liked it I have started putting Elmers Glue All into my Mod Podge and it makes things less sticky I do not have to wax pages like I had to before and the faux vellum is less likely to stick to another page. And Yes I would never put oil into my journal.
Great tutorial. I will have to try this. Can you speed up the dry time with a heat gun? I would like to see a video showing ways youve found to make use of your faux vellum.
Hi Julie I would say no to using a heat gun to speed up the drying time. For one thing the Freezer Paper is plastic coated and if you were to melt that it would stick very badly, and two Mod Podge is also a plastic so you would need to be very careful drying that with heat. But I never say never try it and see what it does. Do let me know. As to ways to use the Vellum I have used it for full pages in both the Possibilities Journal and the Flower Power Journal, but I have some other things I am working on for another video but I needed more finished pieces to play with. So soon I hope.
Well thank you Joan I try and honestly anything is possible we just have to try sometimes we make a big ole mess but then someone has had to make a mess to discover what does work in the end. 😍
Great tutorial! Thank you for sharing! I am also interested in a video on unique or different types of paper to use in a journal. I know about vellum , tea dyed etc various weights of paper but are there others ?
Hi Erica wow different types of paper you can use anything really I have a whole journal that is made with junk mail and I love ledger paper. and book pages oh any piece of paper that comes into my hand is likely to end up in a journal. I do a live stream on Sundays at noon central time if you can pop in there and I will see if I can show you a few journals. or look here on my channel for journal flips
Can I use parchment paper instead of freezer paper, I'm not able to get out to get it as we're quarantined, I have beautiful knapkins and a big jar of Modpodge
honestly Dora I do not know I would only try on until you find out if the napkin will come off after dry and do not try to pull it off until totally dry, Parchment does not have the plastic layer so I just am not sure. hugs give it a try and let me know
I had that flu in March while recovering from surgery in a nursing home (even though I had had my shot!) , then again in October of 2018! It's mid-November now, and I'm not fully recovered. I'm so tired of being sick! At least we have a few holidays to look forward to.
Forgive my previous bitchy comment about the two minute lead-in. This was really very very helpful. Diluted Modge Podge on tissue paper - what an excellent idea. I look forward to seeing how I can add a bit of texture for authenticity. Best of luck to you, and stay safe...
you too, I have also found that a mixture of 1/2 mod podge and 1/2 Elmer's Glue All plus a tad (maybe a tablespoon) of water is even less glossy and less likely to stick to the next page
Love this idea. Enjoy your channel, too! If this technique dries “sticky or tacky” how do you use it your junk journals? Would that blemish the surrounding papers? Thank you!
hi Teri I wax it if it is too sticky and I have found if you mix Elmer's Glue all about half and Half with the Mod Podge that it is not as sticky. Also Matte Medium will do this as well and it is not sticky but can make the colors in your napkins run in some of the napkins.
@@TanyaMcGuire Hi Tanya, I have a few questions: -When you mention "Elmer's Glue", in the above comment, are you referring to their "Washable School Glue" OR their "Glue-All"? -Are you mixing Elmer's Glue with Matte Modge Podge or Glossy or another...? -How does the faux vellum made with ONLY Matte Modge Podge compare to the 50/50 Elmer's glue/Modge Podge? I'm making some interchangeable wallpaper out of tissue paper, for my daughter's dollhouse, and I'm trying to find a way to add some rigidity do it... You have one of the clearest and "to-the-point" tutorials on this; thank you so much!!
@@SarahLongenecker hi Sarah I am talking about Elmers Glue All as it is a PVA type of glue and you can get a gallon at someplace like Lowes the school glue is washable so I do not use if for fear the humidity would make it tacky again down the road. I use Matte Modge Podge as it is more than shiny enough for me. I no longer use straight Modge Podge for anything as it is just too tacky and my pages stick together in books and such. Thank you this was one of my first videos so things have changed a bit in the last couple of years but I still love using this technique and I think your wall paper will be beautiful
I have put them into a Travelers notebook size journal a few pages but I have not made a whole book with them Arlene I am afraid they would stick together and it is very much like plastic paper so it would be hard to write on.
Laurie I would not suggest it Mod Podge makes it a little sticky. If you ran tissue through your printer first then it would be printed on. that would work
Great tutorial Tanya! Thanks so much for sharing this with us! I actually have some freezer paper and some pretty tissue paper, too! Have you ever tried it with napkins? Hugs Marsha
Hi Marsha yes I have tried it with napkins and it works great little more texture on most of them. And I think that is what Shannon Green was using was napkins. Thanks for watching :-) Glad you liked it.
I hope you can help me. But it's nearly two minutes before you start showing us the actual technique! I will continue you to watch though, so thanks for your video. Trying to find a nice base for a recreation of a medieval illuminated manuscript.
you are welcome and I am getting better about not saying it wrong it is a bad habit I am afraid also I now use a mix of Mod Podge and Elmers Glue all and it is much less shiny and plastic sticky than straight Mod Podge th-cam.com/video/kraB3LG0yHk/w-d-xo.html

I really like you showing the difference in tissue and how to make the faux, it was a good tutorial, thank you
Thanks for sharing this valuable information!

Got to try this.
I have found my mix of collage medium works even better for this than Mod Podge that I used when I made this video.
Thanks, Hon. Will def try... looks like a lot of fun. And I love the idea of putting inclusions in the glue paper.
Go for it! have fun

Very helpful. I love making my own supplies and this video is very informative and easy to follow. TFS. 🌹Rosie of 🇦🇺
Thank you Rosanne so glad that you liked it and that it was easy to follow. 😍
Thanks for the vellum video. I've seen others but they all used oil. I'm not putting oil in a journal. So, thank you.
Bethany so glad you liked it I have started putting Elmers Glue All into my Mod Podge and it makes things less sticky I do not have to wax pages like I had to before and the faux vellum is less likely to stick to another page. And Yes I would never put oil into my journal.
I love trying new ideas. Tfs. I have been enjoying your videos very much
that is so great glad you are having fun
Great idea! Can’t wait to try it. TFS
Thank you Evelyn it is fun to play with and I just love how they end up see through.
Well, I'll have to give your way a try. Thanks for the info.
It is fun but messy LOL
Wow...great idea and wonderful video. Can't wait to try it...thanks!!
Please let me know how it goes Libby. I still need to make the video of how I use the sheets of this. So many things so little time.
Lovely, lovely, lovely! Great vid...very easy. Thank you for sharing...
so very glad you liked it Joyce thank you

What do you do with this stuff? Do alcohol markers work on it?
Love this idea, thanks for sharing.
thank you Ruth glad you like it
What a great idea! Love it!
Thank you Jeri I still need to get my video of all the things I use this for done. LOL there never seems to be enough time.
Love the process Thank You!

@@TanyaMcGuire thank you- God bless you! 🤗💗🌷
I have to do this! Have you tried this technique on napkins?
Hi Tomi oh yes I do it with napkins all the time love them for this you do have to be a little more gentle
with the first step
I had that flu in March while recovering from surgery in a nursing home (even though I had had my shot!) , then again in October of 2018! It's mid-November now, and I'm not fully recovered. I'm so tired of being sick! At least we have a few holidays to look forward to.
Feel better and enjoy the holiday
Great Technic tfs Tanya
Thanks Magz for watching :-)
I have some pattern paper, I just might give this a try!
Let me know how it comes out.

Great Linda glad you liked it
I love making these what kind of paper did you use to get the clear ones?
HI Nancy almost any kind of white tissue turns clear when you modpodge it
Very cool, I have never seen this before. Now i have to put up my thermal paper and get out some tissue paper. lol
Awesome Lisa can not wait to see what you do. Great with napkins too.
Love this idea. Enjoy your channel, too! If this technique dries “sticky or tacky” how do you use it your junk journals? Would that blemish the surrounding papers? Thank you!

this was great thank you so much for sharing this. going to check out more of your videos. New subbie here.
thanks so glad you subbed hope to get more videos up soon.
👍🙋❤️ this idea
thank you Debra glad you like it
Have you made a Travelrs Notebook using these papers?
I have put them into a Travelers notebook size journal a few pages but I have not made a whole book with them Arlene I am afraid they would stick together and it is very much like plastic paper so it would be hard to write on.
Fab, thanks!!
Thank you Bernie glad you liked it
Thanks for sharing!
thanks for watching
Can you use your printer and print on it?
Laurie I would not suggest it Mod Podge makes it a little sticky. If you ran tissue through your printer first then it would be printed on. that would work
can you stamp on this
you can but you will need either Stazon or Archival ink and Archival will take a while to dry and be a bit harder to stamp
Great tutorial Tanya! Thanks so much for sharing this with us! I actually have some freezer paper and some pretty tissue paper, too! Have you ever tried it with napkins?
Hugs Marsha
Hi Marsha yes I have tried it with napkins and it works great little more texture on most of them. And I think that is what Shannon Green was using was napkins. Thanks for watching :-) Glad you liked it.
Marsha I am just watching your napkin tutorial and I only used 1 layer of the napkin when I did this.
I hope you can help me. But it's nearly two minutes before you start showing us the actual technique! I will continue you to watch though, so thanks for your video. Trying to find a nice base for a recreation of a medieval illuminated manuscript.
New sub 😁
Fab tutorial thanks for sharing 😙💜
Welcome Dreamy thank you for subbing and glad you liked the tutorial.
Hello my friend!!❤️❤️❤️🎉💯🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing
Vani thank you for watching.
Can you use this to die cut
HI Candy of course you can. I think that would be fun to do with it.
One more question, can you stamp on this and if you can do you do it before or after the mod podge?
you could before or after but would need to use a permanent ink like Stazon
super
thank you glad you like it
Thank you
thx for making this, clever! But it's pronounced MOD PODGE :) lol
you are welcome and I am getting better about not saying it wrong it is a bad habit I am afraid also I now use a mix of Mod Podge and Elmers Glue all and it is much less shiny and plastic sticky than straight Mod Podge th-cam.com/video/kraB3LG0yHk/w-d-xo.html
