DIY Ornaments Using Gelli Plate Prints

[@suehelm5889]

Using small pieces prevents less wrinkles. Creates a smoother surface 😊

[@VikkiReed]

That’s a great tip, thanks so much!

Lovely to see you Vikki whatever you're up to ❤🧡💛

[@VikkiReed]

Thank you, I appreciate your support!

I bought some flat-ish glass ornaments which might be easier to get the paper on! Thanks for the demo.

[@VikkiReed]

What a great idea!

[@avanellehansen4525]

Lovely! I like the term, "energy efficient". 😊

[@VikkiReed]

Avanelle, thank you...right? I'm working on speaking about myself in more complimentary ways...

[@dianeoconnor8310]

Maybe wet strength tissue paper is an idea. 😊

[@VikkiReed]

Thank you! I’m just learning about that and ordered some, I’m ready to experiment!

[@xVentax]

I had the same thought - much more ‘malleable’. Also, with the blues, which I loved, I’d like to try silver & white instead of gold & ‘tight buff’ ☺️

[@VikkiReed]

@@xVentax Thank you! I've tried the wet strength tissue paper...and I'm not a fan and currently it is more expensive than the paper I use, but that is a personal preference, I am well aware and yes, I think white and silver with the blues would be beautiful!

I find using a 3/4 inch paint shaper for applying matt medium is the best. I used to use a Filbert paintbrush for my collages but they need a lot of cleaning after a session because they tend to get quite clogged up. If I forget to clean a paint shaper and the medium dries on it, all you have to do is bend it and the dried medium just peels off.

[@VikkiReed]

Thank you! That is a fantastic tip and would be MUCH better for this particular project for sure

[@sylviesoulard1346]

Love it 😊

[@VikkiReed]

I'm so glad, thank you, Sylvie!

[@kimbradford]

[@VikkiReed]

Kim, thank you! It's another fun way to use your gelli prints!

[@cindy52h]

I just discovered your channel and am finally jumping into using my Gel Plates! Can I ask what kind of paper you’re using here? Thank you

[@VikkiReed]

Yay, Cindy! Yes, I'm happy to share the kind of paper, in fact, if you look at the description below the video, you will see every supply that I used! The paper is JapanBargain Calligraphy Rice Paper from Amazon...happy printing!

[@lindavan5330]

What type of paper did you use and are the ornaments glass or plastic? Thank you,❤

[@VikkiReed]

Hi Linda, thank you for your questions! The ornaments are plastic and I am using JapanBargain Calligraphy Rice Paper from Amazon, my favorite for all things collage! I have provided a link to it on my Amazon Affiliate page, and if you use this link, I may earn a small commission, while you pay the regular price, and that helps me keep things going! amzn.to/3WoB0X5
