as I watch the trimming process I'm thinking with a scanner, scan the piece before you cut into strips and make some decorative paper first.
I think your piece as a whole, (before you cut into strips) would have made a gorgeous journal cover! Fabric snippets always looked so intimidating to me, but you made it look so simple! Thank you!
Because I needed another thing to try.... thank you. It's beautiful and I added this to my actual 'journal of things I really want to do'!
Murphy's law of sewing....."As you sew, so shall you rip" and ..."if there's anything hanging(even fingernails) the damn thread will ALWAYS find it!!" Love your channel Nb
That is so gorgeous. I am a quilter and it reminds me a bit of crazy quilting. Love, love, love it! Cool T shirt BTW.
Never ever do my days go as planned. Those wrenches keep dropping from the sky. Your strips are amazing!
This was one of the best tutorials I have seen on ephemera. So organic and time saving.
wOoooH! Make a real wide Snippet Roll -Journal Cover!!! .....Book spine!! and Journal pockets! Etc....etc. Small snippets BIG snippets! Love it!!
Oh my goodness gracious Nik! I am trying to catch up on some of your videos and just found this one. I am interested in learning how to make these snippets but just had to pause you for a moment to share the thought that just popped into my head.
Back in the dark ages my Mom first taught me to iron blouses, skirts, sheets...*sigh*. This was a chore I never liked. Yet here I am watching you iron something you won't even wear! Am I the only one who sees the irony? 😉
Nik, I like your style - your eye for beauty, AND your relaxed, self deprecation and humour. Your videos are fun and approachable, Enjoyed spending some time with you and your art.
For the life of me I cannot see the POINT of a snippet roll, but it works as art, and could be a lovely idea for a gift - or to wrap a gift - that is both stunning and inexpensive - in nearly everything but time!
Apart from the Dreaded Dust, I think your ribbon would look great hanging on a wall, or as a picture frame, book mark, notebook cover, etc etc. Actually, if it's robust enough, could make a fantastic belt, or garment edging - though ... Washing. Mind you, up until the 1900's (ish) lace edgings were only ever tacked on petticoats and dresses, because they would be removed before garments were washed so that they could be washed separately. Should still be possible for special stuff, surely, even given the current lack of servants ? :)
Fun to play with, but, oh yes, it could be a time suck.
Love this! If you did a wider version, you could print photos on some muslin and then affix those, telling a story! I see a new project on my list. Now if I can just find that photo fabric printing tutorial....she said as time continued to get sucked away......thanks!!
You are not the only one. My day never, never, never goes as planned. I'm tangled constantly just like your thread.
Decorating= "A time-suck of epic proportions." LOL!
How beautiful!! I could see pieces of that on note cards, as book marks, in a picture frame❤️❤️❤️
Fantastic way to use up scraps...so adorable!
I love your shirt! I also love how you take a whole bunch of scraps and somehow put them together into something super beautiful and cohesive.
I have just discovered you and a kindred spirit. You r right my day never goes as planned and if I muck it up it’s a ripper 😂😂😂🤪😜🤓😜
Wonderful? I love the way you made strips from the rectangle allowing colours and patterns to randomly reappear. Donna knotted up your thread for sure. The only sure fire thing in my day is feed the cat before anything else! Then it's random mayhem for the next few hours. Bit like a snippet strip of life l guess!
Lol!! Gild The Lily, Nic! Gild the Lily!!......Love it. You, Ma'am are a Genius!! Inspiration oozes from those there fingers of yours!!
This is gorgeous, Nik! I’m still waiting for you to start selling shirts that say, “I’m not your mom” in your store. NTBS merch FTW!
Oh my gosh, what a thing of beauty . I made one a few months ago and it was all lace and beads etc , the only thing I had to wrap it on was a very small wooden rolling pin, was about 5inches long . It’s lovely . I like your style though. I’ll be watching for more fro Australia .
The best laid plans of crafters and moms NEVER ever goes according to plan. I'm living proof. Love this snippet idea!
I don’t think you need to do anything in particular with snippets. They just are. If you make one and do the embellishments and take the time to put your heart into it, what a wonderful gift to give to a special friend. And, like Nik says, you can tie them on a package or anything else you may want to add something extra to.
I have been watching your work for many months and your style is so cool. I am trying this method tomorrow. Not sure what I will do with it. Maybe display it on my desk at work and see how my co-workers like this. I will give you all the credit if people ask me where I got the idea!! I know I love this.
I wrap it around a large vintage wooden bobbin and hang it up
I love your snippet roll Nik! and 'specially the lily gilding 😬! and a larger version would be awesome wall hanging! P.S. my days never EVER go as planned. AND I am easily sidetracked as well.
Letting you know that you sound exactly like I did self-sabotaging in every way until I learned to love myself, ROFLMAO, however, if you do not keep up with it with daily practice you can fall back into wondering how in the world self-sabotaging ends up happening to me so very consistently. Found out it is in the way we talk to ourselves in our minds and also out loud, that does that to us. Yeah, I know, WHO knew?? LOL
Like you, I could make my frustrations sound funny and there is a secondary benefit to that as most people can relate to frustration but also do not make it sound near as funny. Speaking of FUN... love your punny shirt. I watched another snippet roll maker that layered the fabric to add more texture and depth to the snippets. For instance, she laid pieces of lace overtop the fabric she sewed with a machine down the length of the roll, in the middle to make the snippets stay attached to the base, then sewed with ivory thread down either side of the lace. Then began to add things pictures and words from the designer sheets she printed on some muslin fabric after resizing them on her silhouette and that is where she lost me, as I do not have a silhouette machine. She adheres the fabric to the fabric pictures and words with a zig-zag stitch and then embellished then with glitter fabric paint. " So stinkin cute" and not too frou-frou. Loved it.
Love the simplicity and the authenticity of yours lol, as it looks ones women did back when wagon trains rolled updated for tremendous ease of doing it, love the look of yours, which for those women was not such a time suck as they did it one or three pieces at a time and put it away until they had more pieces to work with. Lord knows they had far more to do then we do as they had to go to the creek for water! Be that as it may, I truly do think your snippet roll is lovely. Have fun with the process and it does not seem as much of a time suck... IF you enjoy what you are doing it is not wasted time. Having said that, I have to get back to the project of reclaiming my house from crafting, so thank you for the reminder to be gentler to myself so I self-sabotage less. Back to praising myself for every little thing and remembering that everything happens in "the divine right order", even the time sucks are there to play a role in that. Thanks for the tip with the lightweight iron-on adhesive! I so enjoyed your video! Wrote below as you asked your viewers to if they identified with you. Oh, I so do. My life has not gone as planned, not even close as it blew up a few times. Make a new plan is all I can do and keep my sanity or what passes for it. Just love you, Nik. Thanks again!
I mostly play with paper. I often cut them into particular lengths, like two and three inches, and then use those “snippets” as a focal point on journal cards, pockets, in my journals! It is so fun! You have great suggestions also!
I have hand problems too - not easy is it? I also have numbness and can't feel my fingertips, small movements and handling tiny things is so difficult - but we find a way round. I love this, and I love you - you constantly make me laugh - especially your words - you crack me up! I NEVER plan my day because I know that Murphys Law will happen - if I plan then it NEVER happens - something always jumps out and sabotages my plans - so you're not alone babes! Thanks for your lovely videos - I am such a fan of yours xxxxx
Snippets rule as does your shortcut! Beautiful as always. Thanks again for a fantastic down and dirty hack.
Great time to practice those embroidery stitches and all kinds of fun when hubby wants action adventure movie and you don’t. But you agree anyway. Cuz tomorrow it’s Little Women for the win! When it’s my turn to choose.
Wow Nic, that bow is never coming off! It's beautiful as usual. X
Brilliant!! I love this!!! My favorite part is when the thread got caught in the charm!! Feels like home to me!
This is absolutely beautiful!!! I LOVE IT!!! 😍
someone just linked this to me! Wonderful! xxx yet another thing for me to try! xxx
I like this. Anything and everything counts. Everyone has their own technique but yours is my fave. Thanks!
My days never ever go as planned, work days, play days, doesn’t matter!!! But it’s always fun to watch you!,,
This is a great way to make a snippet roll. I have been wanting to make one for ages, but they always look a bit fiddly! Thanks, Nik, for the great idea!
I love the way you assembled this, im going to try it your way instead of sewing little bits at a time.
Thanks Nick ❤️💋😍🇨🇦🎄⭐️❤️
I like this method. I’ve never made one but want to. I have a lot of fabric! Thanks for sharing. I have to add, the mom at me is screaming and you about the way you use your ruler and rotary cutter. Never, ever roll it toward you. Away is the safest way! ❤️
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I’ve learned so much from you and now journaling will be so much easier for me as a beginner.
You really have a knack for creating nostalgic looking pieces. I love all your work.
The questions we get... Well,what do you do with it??? Why,what is it good for??? They crack me up!!😳 Just because is my favorite answer!!💖💖
I’ve gathered my snippets my bond sticky stuff and am going to have a go 👍🏻 Thankyou from your “ friend” here in the uk 🥰
Simply beautiful..a real work of art,Nik!
I love snippet rolls and this one is beautiful.
I love this so much I’m going to rummage through my scrap fabric and have a go thank you for showing us another beautiful tutorial xx
This is a great idea for covering a picture frame to display my inherited buttons.
You are truly inspiring Nik
Thankyou.
Beautiful idea. Thanks Nik the Booksmith
Your snippet roll with just the fabric looked great... it's really a brilliant idea ... love it!!
O.K. This is so fabulous, my heart is thumping!!!
love love love! You could use as a belly band (much smaller of course) in a vintage journal or just as an element to adorn your journal. I think I would cut them and use with my art. Thank you so much!!!
What an awesome gift that would be. Such a cool idea. I love your videos so much.
Love your project as always!!
it's a great idea for people who find it harder to be random because it is straight lines. I like that. still looks amazing just in a different way.
Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing, Nik.
Love this!! It's beautiful. This would make some beautiful bookmarks!
The possibilities are endless and oh what fun!
I enjoy every single one of your videoes 💗 thank you so much for sharing so generously 🙏🏼
This is an old video, so I don’t know if you even read comments, but HAVE to say my days often feel like your…… nothing goes right!!!!! I love these snippets.
Would love it as a cover...the scanning of it before you cut is a great idea...fun video❤️are you kidding, plans are not in my wheelhouse, but the results are usually rewarding and satisfying ❤️
