Oh I love watching dollar tree hauls or crafts using their products, to be honest I enjoy this type of video more than seeing products and all used from Higher end crafting brands.
Condolences to you, your husband and family in the passing of your Mother-in-law. I absolutely LOVE the $ tree videos. I am still new to junk journaling and I'm not familiar with prices and what's expensive so when you did the gesso video and said what gesso prices cost (I only used it once and still have plenty left over) I was glad to hear you share the information b/c I probably would've walked in the store thinking that the price of gesso was normal even though I know prices have gone up everywhere. I would still like to get other things like the distress ink, stamps, ink pads, etc. but now I need to figure out what a good sale is and what's too expensive (I'm not going to pay $20 for an ink pad, but $12 may or may not be reasonable and I'm not sure so I have some researching to do). -- Again YES, YES, YES the $ tree videos definitely help! -- Thank you so much for sharing!!!
I always had more ink on me than my project. Especially when the Stampin up lid came of the ink pad. I found that LAVA SOAP is a blessing. Before cleaning my hands, I had ink smears on my paper.
Great idea, Betty! I was wishing I had some glassine bags, but they aren't in my budget right now. Thanks so much. I'm praying for you and your hubby as you make this big decision. Hugs, Shell
I love DT ideas... especially this one. I hadn't even finished the video and went down to my DT (still looking for the facial roller too) and picked up both waxed and parchment paper. I'll be trying them today!
Yes I love these videos where you are showing us how to make an expensive item for s whole lot less money. Way to go, just leave us hanging in suspence. 😬
Funny you would make these bags today because I just decided not to buy the ready-made ones, due to the cost! I will definitely get a DT roll of waxed paper and make varying sizes, so TYFS! NTW, try using hand sanitizer to take ink off. 🦋🦋🦋
It is insane just how expensive that they are. I just bought a new roll of the wax paper from DT so that I can just sit down and use the entire roll making the little envelopes. I want to know just how many I can make for $1.25. =) I will post an update.
This is a great idea with the papers. Making our own sacks then we could make the the size we need in what ever size journal or card we are making. Curious as to how they will stick together with your glues?
Super cute idea! I've made 3 envelopes while watching you. I too LOVE the sound of the paper. Please tell me where or where did you get your ink applicator handle? It's gorgeous 😍 thank you for the video and all of the great ideas!
Thank you for your nice video. Im from Denmark, and i can't find any glue which will stick to wax paper. Would you be so kind to write the exact name of the glue. Thank you :-)
Ugggh, I am sooo annoyed with myself right now. I always hold on to everything and TWO days ago I was spring cleaning and threw away 2 rolls of waxed paper because I've had them for at least a year and haven't used them......WHY!?!!!
I love these, sure beats buying 100 bags that are all the same size, not to mention the cost when creating your own. Thanks for sharing!

I love that, will make some tonight after I get my mom to bed, just happen to have wax paper.. Dollar Tree is a big help in our crafting supplies.
LOVE THEM!!! TY

Hello Betty, thanks for sharing these cute faux glassine bags.

I am so glad you take us along on your search to make things on the inexpensive side!
Great idea Betty.! A great money saver.
These are great. I needed a refresher!
Hoping you will be leaving your full-time job. I would love to see more videos.
That's the plan!
These are so genius and gorgeous Betty 💜

Love these now I have to go on an envelope making spree thank you for sharing 🥰
Great idea and they look good

Just replied to your email. If you don't get it, send me a message on Facebook if you have Facebook. =)
Hey Betty. Migraine, but wanted to stay caught up. My candle wax worked fabulous. I used rose scent and oh my goodness 💜💜💜💜
I call it the 5 quarter store!

They need to rename it “The dollar plus store”😻.
"Close enough for government work!" I thought I was the only one who still used that phrase.

Where do you buy your glue? Is it ‘Fabri-tack?
Thank you for your nice video. Im from Denmark, and i can't find any glue which will stick to wax paper. Would you be so kind to write the exact name of the glue. Thank you :-)
Bearly Art glue seems to work well for wax paper.

Isn't that how it ALWAYS works?
I think your work is great but your lighting is so bright it doesn’t do your work justice
