- I had a few questions about how I made my my Inchies on my journal page last month so I said I would do a video showing how I made them. I hope this helps and you create some pretty little inchies. :-)

I have used these for years to make greeting cards. Four or 6 of them lined up in twos, makes a lovely card of any type.... birthday cards, Christmas cards, whatever you choose. They can even be used as embellishments in journals, & on tags. It's all up to your imagination and what kinds of designs you come up with.
Versatile little art pieces aren't they! :-) Thanks so much for watching. I appreciate it. :-)
Not sure how I stumbled across this tutorial, but glad I did. Never seen inchies etc before, but they will be lovely addition to the cards and journals I make, or as a focal point on clusters for paper clips. Ooo! So many ideas running around in my head now. Thankyou for sharing this. Love n hugs from Victoria in England 👍😘👏🏼🇬🇧
Hi Victoria and welcome. I'm glad you stumbled in. lol I'm happy the video gave you some ideas/inspiration for your cards and journals. Hope to see you again. :-)
Love them. The lady is a cameo the clear tag is from Tim Holtz acrylic tag.
Thanks so much Connie :-)
Great instruction, thank you. I absolutely love the inchies with almost strips of yellow, aqua, and purple. Amazing how much variety you can have in an inch.
Hi Monica :-) Thank you very much. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. The first time I made "Inchies" I was surprised by what you can actually do with an inch. :-) Have a great weekend. :-)
Great sound track to your video. Would love to see the playlist. And the inchies are adorable. I think the video is very clear. I've never made these before but am inspired to try it.
Thank you Chana :-) I hope you do make some. They are fun. I don't have a playlist for the music. It's been so long since I made the video I am not sure what songs I used. I can tell you though that I just used the free music from TH-cam Music. :-)
Thank you for going the extra mile and doing a full explanation. I like the way the inchies transform as you progress. The extra I want to do after I do the arrangement on my page, is to actually let an image or two go outside of the inchie. The piece of fabric you used, the burlap (I think), the fiber that extended past the inchies looked really nice and I thought it would look nice to keep it. As I write this you showed the ribbon you kept long (like minds, I guess). In general, I love the 3D of fabric.
Thank you very much Monica and you are welcome. I am so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching and thank you for the note. Have a great day. :-)
I love creating inchies. It's so much fun to do art in such a tiny space. Your inchies are great! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much Liza. I appreciate you watching and taking time to leave a note. :-)
It’s March 2019 and I just finished watching this. Love it! Thank you for keeping this stuff available!
You are very welcome. :-) I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks so much for your kind comment. :-)
Your page is SO pretty. =)
and I LOVE the inchies!! =)
The rough edge the cutter makes is cool for this. =)
YES! They are awesome when they get cut out. =)
The example full Index card looked great with the 3 butterflies on it. =)
WOW! Those Valentine and lady bug stickers, are adorable!, and the doily stickers are beautiful!! =)
Yeah, those paper borders are cool. =)
I love that tiny cameo you used on one of them. =)
That broken bead is SO pretty and cool!!! =)
The one with the paper clip, the triangle stamp looks like a Christmas tree. =)
I love them all!!! Thank you for showing us how you make yours. =)
+Phoebe You have been catching up on videos. lol
Thank you! :-)
Yeah, trying to at least. ;)
You're welcome. =)
THANK YOU so much for making this video... you almost didn't. These are the BEST inches ever... wasn't gonna make any.... but now, thanks to your video... I'll probably make lots. So many Blessings for you and your family.
You are so welcome. I am so glad you will make some! :-) And thank YOU! :-) Thank you for watching and for your sweet comment. I appreciate it. :-)
How Fun!!! They are so great....I find doing small things super hard...you make it look so easy!
+Hickety Pickety Thank you Sonja. :-) Inchies are not my favorite thing to do because they are so small but I was asked how I made mine so I was happy to show them. When I was younger I didn't mind working on small things. I used to do small ceramic ornaments and small fabric items. But the older I get the less I like smaller stuff. lol Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment. I appreciate it. :-)
What a great way to use scraps from different projects. I will definitely do this! In future videos please hold up the labels on your pens like you did on the decoupage jar. Thank you for this video!
You are very welcome. I am glad you enjoyed it and plan to make some. I will try to remember to show the pen labels. Thank you for watching. :-)
Hi Laurie, You have made my day!! thank you so much for sharing. I looooved your video I just can't wait to make some inchies they will not be as nice as yours but I thank you I got lots of ideas from you and also I just love the way you use scraps. I am all for using up "everything" as they say waist not whant not. I so wish more people would follow your lead by fast forwarding it is wonderful.. I will for sure be subscribing to your channel so that I can enjoy learning from you. Blessings
Hi Yolanda. :-). I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and I hope you have fun making your inchies. :-) Fast forwarding is really helpful in moving things along. I try to do that sometimes and other times leave the full process in. Everyone likes something different so I try to do a little of all speeds. :-) I appreciate you watching and leaving a note. Have a great day. :-)
That cameo was perfect for that inchie! Love your creative process! TFS!!!
Thank you very much. I really appreciate your comment and thank you for watching. :-)
I know I've watched this before but here I am again. I love these inchies. I think I'm just trying to encourage myself to get started making art again!
Well hello again then. :-) Thank you Donna. :-) You know....I know it's hard. I've been there quite a few times and what I found to work the best for me is to just sit down at my table and clean it up. Touching odd and end pieces sometimes sparks my interest in making something small like an ATC and not put any effort into it. Just glue down paper or put down a few strokes of paint. It doesn't have to be pretty, it just has to fulfill your need, whatever that need is. You can always pretty it up later. I also have a book I throw junk in. It's not a pretty book. lol It's just intended to act as a place to do something without pressure. I started this book when I was dragging my feet after a stressful year recently. I hope you find your groove again soon but in the meantime be easy on yourself. :-)
I sorta did that yesterday. I got a few pieces of junk art some friends sent me (that's what I ask for) I cut 2 into atc size and the rest into inchie size with a couple a little scraps left over. Then I cleaned the middle of my table where I work. That's about as far as I got but it helped! I see things I really want to do but I just can't seem to get past the thinking stage. I know I'll get there one day..
That's a great start. I think a lot too when stuff is going on. But thinking isn't as much fun as creating so hope you get there soon!!! :-)
What you said about zooming the camera made me laugh. When I put batteries in something, I am never, ever, ever right either!
Hello twinstar9. I had to pull up this video to answer a current comment and YT pulled up your comment as "unanswered". I am so sorry I missed answering your comment. It's been FIVE years since you left this comment. I just never saw it. Well....I'm answering it no matter how old it is. lol I'm glad you got a laugh. I haven't improved on my zooming in five years either. lol
Thank you so much Laurie, I really really love ❤️ your inchies. And I really really enjoyed watching you make these. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Thanks so much Mags. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :-)

Wow, that is so beautiful!
Hi Mary :-) Thank you very much. :-)

Wow! You should make greeting cards, your paintings are beautiful
Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Thank you for watching. :-)
Thank you! ItsMarch 2021 & I have a lot of painted papers & index cards I can make inchies and twinchies... you are awesome 👏🏻 for showing how to use these! Keep Creating!!!💜
Thanks so much Sherree. I'm glad you enjoyed it and I hope you make a lot of inchies with your papers. :-)
It is Awesomeeeeee that now I can use my bag of left over don't wannabe's and make some of these! 😄 They're so Amazingly Cute! Thanks for teaching me 💖
Awww, you are so very welcome. Scraps seem to multiply and no matter what I make or how much of them I use I seem to have more and more. lol Have fun making them! :-) Thanks so much for watching and taking time to leave a note. :-) Have a great day. :-)
Hey Laurie... enjoyed your video... your inchies are so cute! looking forward to seeing what you do with them.
+Nomadicrose Hi Pauline :-) Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed it. :-)
they turned out really cute you inspired me i'm going to make some
Thank you Lea. That's awesome. I hope you enjoyed making them. Thank you for watching. :-)
Fabulous Inchies tfs Laurie...Kia Kaha...
Thanks Maggie :-)
Thank you so much! I was wondering how to make these! Great tutorial. :)
You are so welcome Robin. I am very glad it was some help to you. Those little things are so fun to make although I have to admit I kind of prefer the Twinchies and Thrinchies. They are made the same way but a little bigger so a little easier to work with. The Inchies are so cute though so it's hard not to love them too. :-) Thank you for watching and taking time to comment. I appreciate it. :-)
I've subscribed and love that you have so many videos. I watch them at night, on mute, while my husband watches TV. :)
Hi Robin :-) Thank you very much for subscribing. I appreciate it. :-) I do the same thing sometimes and sometimes I wish I could do the opposite and mute the TV while he watches it and listen to the video. lol
LOL! I hear ya! ;)
I had to buy a bag of kisses just so that I could start saving the little strips. LOL
+Arangel Caitlin lol Oh that's funny. So you get chocolate AND the paper thingies. lol I'm so glad you left me this comment. It really made me smile. Thanks so much. :-)
The correct name for the little Hershey kiss strip is “Niggly Wiggly” 😂
They bring joy to my heart. TFS.
+MONA STEVENS :-) Thank you Mona. That brings joy to MY heart. :-)
I love your inchies! And for once, I have all the stuff I need.
Thanks Susan :-) Hope you enjoy making them. :-)
so much fun !!!! love them
Thank you very much. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. :-) Thank you for taking the time to leave a note and thank you for watching. :-)
Excellent idea!!!!! ❤
Thanks so much. Have a wonderful day. :-)
Love these inchies!
Thanks Donna :-)
What camera do you use to film ? The video looks nice and crisp. Awesome inches !
Thank you. :-)
Here is the info off the side of my camera. I have been using this camera a long time and I don't know if they still sell this version in stores. There are more updated versions though. My husband bought me another camera for my birthday but things have been so hectic I haven't even been able to use it yet. I will get around to changing cameras eventually but this one I use now has been wonderful and honestly am not sure I am ready to upgrade until it quits on me. I guess I'm kind of attached to it. lol I love the remote on it and how it works. I hope this helps you.
Panasonic HDC-HS9
HD 1920 x 1080
3CCD Advanced O.I.S.
lol, yeah I can understand that. And yes that helped, thank you for the info !!!
You are very welcome. :-)
Your art work is so nice.
Thanks Julie :-) Thank you for watching. :-)
Could these be glued down on a small wood surface to make jewelry? So cute!
Thank you Eve :-) Oh yes, these can be made into jewelry. :-) I have never done it myself but I have seen photos where others have done it. I can't direct you to anyone because I can't remember where I saw it but I'm sure you can find it on TH-cam or Instagram or Pinterest etc. Have a great weekend. :-)
Que lindo
+joseane araujo Gracias :-)
How very interesting. Newbe here. You are truly an artist.
Hi Bonnie. Thank you very much. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching. :-)
Love them.
+carol m Thank you Carol. :-)
Sorry. Am enjoying watching your video on TH-cam.and hope to do them sometime soon too Thanks for sharing your talent with us.thanks am from Halifax N.S Canada.
Thanks Karen. I am so happy to hear you are enjoying the video!!! I really appreciate that you took the time to let me know. Have fun making some. :-) Stay warm. :-)
I like your border a lot there very cute!
Thanks so much. :-)
Cute inchies! Your red Posca pen will work if you prime it some more. :)
+Cat Hand Thanks Cathy. :-) Yeah, I didn't prime it at all. It's a shiny sticker.
+Laurie Richardson Haley It'll still work on the shiny surface, but you have shake the pen and then prime the pen, not the paper, by pushing the tip down on a scrap paper till the paint flows. You mainly got water when you used it - that's why it was that light pink color. :)
+Cat Hand Ohhhh ok, I see what you are saying. Got it. :-) Maybe deep down I really didn't want to paint that heart or I would have tried harder. lol I thought the color was awfully pale. I don't even remember if I shook the pen. I definitely didn't shake it hard enough if I did. I'll remember that next time. Thank you. :-) :-)
Awesome instruction, thank you for sharing.
Thank you Brenda and you are very welcome. Thank you for watching. :-)
Thank you , they are so cute, Wonderful Tutorial!!
You are so welcome. I am glad you enjoyed it. :-) I hope you have fun making some. Have a great evening. :-)
Very beautiful u do amazing work u r a wonderful crafter u give me inspiration ideas,can I use card stock for inches I'm going to give it a try
Thanks so much Linda. I'm glad you feel inspired. That makes me happy. :-)
Did you use glue or modge podge to glue them down? Very cute.
Thanks Cindy. I'm pretty sure I used Mod Podge for these inchies. :-)
Thank you
You are very welcome. :-)
Great video
Thank you Katz :-)
Thanks for sharing and inspiring.
+Laura Murphy You are so welcome Laura...and thank you for your support and sweet notes. :-)
Sorry but I didn't get the name of the black pen and the white pen you used for the borders. They looked very easy to use and very "flowy" for want of a better word. Enjoyed your video but am still puzzled how people would use these. Will certainly have fun making them, but how to use them????? It was fun. Thanks. Bev from Australia.
Hi Bev. The black pen is the Posca pen. And the white one is either the Posca pen or the Sharpie Poster Paint pen. Those are the two main pens I use to do stuff like that. They do work really well and flow great for this type of thing. As far as using them....sometimes people trade them, you can add them into your art on canvases or tags or ATC's etc. You can just give them away in happy mail and let someone else decide what to do with them. lol I used some of mine on ATC's...I made a canvas with some (there is a video of that)...I used some on a journal page (there is a video on that too). You can make a mosaic with them. Whatever you can think of is ok. :-) There is no wrong way to use them. Anything goes. :-) You are so welcome and I hope you enjoy making them.:-)
So cute! TFS 👼
+Martha Warren Thank you very much Martha. :-) I appreciate it. :-)
Awesome
Thanks so much. :-)
I see you keep your ink pads upside down...Can I ask why you do that? I'm new to this. Thank you
Hello :-) Well, it's mostly habit now. lol When I first started mixed media I heard someone say to keep your pads upside down to keep the ink nice and juicy at the top of the pad. I later heard Tim Holtz say that you don't need to keep your pads upside down because the pads stay juicy sitting the correct way. So, it's one of those preference things. I was in the habit of storing the Staz On upside down so kept doing it. However, I do not store my Ranger Distress Inks upside down. To be honest, I think either way is fine. :-) You just have to decide what you like best for yourself. :-) I hope this helps. :-) Thanks for watching.
Darling, what do you use them for. I am new at this? thx
Hi Jan. :-) There are all kinds of uses for them. I used mine on a journal page. I also used a bunch of them on a canvas. I think there are videos for both. I don't know the names of the videos but you should be able to tell by the thumbnail photos. I have also used them to stick in happy mail packages. Other people have told me they make earrings out of them. You can add them to the end of stick pins to use on your art. I have seen tiny books made from them. I'm not sure I would have the patience for that project though. lol That's a few ideas, I'm sure there are many more. :-)
what did u use to make white dots around frame ??
Hi Catherine. :-). I used a white permanent sharpie. Water or oil based....either will work.. :-)
thank u so much
You are very welcome. :-)
LOVELY!!!
+MR.VICTOR CRAFTER Thank you Victor. :-)
They are so cute .
Thank you Carla :-) Thank you for watching. :-)
Oh yes, they can be used for earrings, too.
I never thought of that....that's a cool idea. Have you ever worn Inchies as earrings? Boy would that be an awesome conversation starter. :-)
I make them for others, but unfortunately, can't wear dangle earrings for two reasons..... one, I have a torn ear from my grandson grabbing at an earring when he was about 8 months old. So, dangle earrings just don't work as that one earring would hang lower than the other. Secondly, I don't have much of a neck, so I look ridiculous in dangle earrings as they hit my shoulder. However, most people love the earrings made from inchies. They can be hung as a triangle, or as a square, & the designs are unique, no one else will have the same earrings. And, you can make them any size you want, so, give it a try..... I'll bet they will be something all your friends will ask for. LOL Thanks for all you cool ideas!
Oh goodness...that must have been a good pull on your ear. Ouch! I only wear gold or silver (not sterling, you know the plated kind I guess) hoop earrings but I love the idea of Inchie earrings. I have a hard time wearing much jewelry. I love it but as soon as I try anything "out of the ordinary" for me I feel like I'm weighted down with bricks or something. lol It's odd. My sister might wear Inchie earrings though...she's not a plain jane like me. lol I hope you have a great day! :-)
You can also use them to make pins to wear on jackets with a scarf, or on the scarf itself. And as far as earrings go, you can buy the hoops in whatever kind of metal you wear.... gold, silver, allergy free metal, whatever. My suggestions were for those below who said they loved the inchies but didn't know what to do with them, so I hope my ideas were of use to them, and to you, too. Have fun creating!
Thank you those are so cute,
+Charlotte phillips Thank you very much. I'm glad you like them. And you are so welcome. :-) Have a great week. :-)
