Thanks for the video, luckily I was up with acetate collecting already and would like to add something you may like….I buy large yoghurt pots, they come with a clear acetate lid that I use to make shaker cards..as it already has depth, a lip to use tape or glue on and fits perfectly within my circle dies…..I have also been know to make a double one with two scenes back to back and the lid lip glued together to make Christmas tree bauble style ornaments… I have done demo’s on this at my crafting club and it was greatly received and now I have converted lots of crafters to having yoghurt for breakfast. Lol
Once again, thank you for showing people frugal crafting ideas.
Love your frugal tips! So refreshing in this era of endless consumption. Was raised by a depression era mom who taught me to reuse nearly everything!
Thank you so much for making this video. I just became a member 9 days ago and I'm loving all the things that you are showing us how to make. Being new to paper crafts I'm finding that it's frustrating to have to order little things that I need for each project and having to wait sometimes a week or more for those items to arrive. I have organized some of the projects in zip lock bags, etc. until the missing item(s) arrive. I had no idea that you could use packaging acetate for these projects, I thought that it might be too thick. I know this is long winded, but I just received the order I placed for the "Get Well" project, it arrived in a very short time and the most beautiful pacakaging was totally organized. You are something Miss Sherry, I'm so happy that I found your channel.
Hey Myrlin, welcome!!! I does take time to gather supplies in the beginning. Just take your time!! And practice, practice, practice.
After seeing the video with the tissue boxes, I have been paying attention to those packaging too and saving them. I'm so glad to see I was right, now I can go back and tell my husband I'm not crazy 😜
Hello Mz Sherry, I have been looking at everything, well those things I remember, to see other uses in things. Another great source for chipboard like and acrylic pieces are the multiple ink cartridges pack. The mounting board is a nice thickness and some of the top is molded acrylic, but you could squeeze out some smaller pieces. When I purchased some foil pans for Thanksgiving, I do not use the tops. I prefer foil to cover, cook and transport, but now I have two tops to use.
Oh Sherry , you have no idea how happy I am to see you make this video! I also keep both the acetate & sturdy card stock packaging for crafting! I can’t wait to show my hubby this video, cause it helps validate why I refuse to let my family throw away “free” crafting supplies! Lol 😂😊🥰
I save the acetate from dry goods packaging, like dry pastas, too. Manufacturers are usually pretty generous with the size of the acetate window on the front of the boxes.
Also, I keep the clear acetate boxes from dollar tree office supplies ( push pins, paper clips, rubber bands, etc) . The packaging labels are easy to slip off & the result is a nice clean reusable box or deconstructed piece of acetate.
The possibilities & supplies are endless, once we know what & where to look for them. 😊 Thank you again for ALL you share with us! I wish you & everyone a wonderful thanksgiving! 😊🙋🏽♀️🥰
I generally save things like that for crafting! Especially any type of heavy cardstock I get from packaging and mail solicitations. You may not find acetate in the mailbox, but you can get some heavy duty precut paper stocks. Thanks for sharing!
You are very welcome Robin !!
I often use containers the grocery store uses in their deli or produce section. Like the big trays with cut up watermelon, deli meat trays you would bring to a party, or Chinese food. Obviously they have to be washed but they work great.
Hi Sherry. Thanks for sharing this tip. I save and have been saving my acetate from packaging for years now. I trim them down and store them in size order in a crate in my craft room and the overflow in my garage. I’ve got enough to last me a long time. And I’m so glad I do because now most products have stopped using plastic in an effort to be earth friendly. I use it for all types of projects. Hopefully you will share some of your ideas with us.
I just found full face masks at dollar tree. The acetate is covered on both sides so it will stay nice until you use it.
I’ve been saving my acetate from my dollar tree paper tape rolls. I didn’t know what I was going to use them for. Now I know!
We might need an underground TH-cam channel for you to share this info! 😂 With Dollar Tree going up 25% on items, other manufacturers might start thinking of ways to cut back on "free" things we can repurpose! 😮 I also use the lid from the containers at the grocery store that the Spring Mix or Baby Spinach comes in, for acetate. Great ideas! Keep 'em coming...but on the DL! 😂😂
Wow, as a craft supply “collector” I never thought about saving acetate. I stow away heavy packaging for chipboard and such. I had saved the packaging from my scoreboard for the chipboard but apparently the acetate is still with it as well. Bonus!
Just noticed the Dollar Tree Christmas cards I’ve been using have an acetate lid on the box. I would have thrown that out not thinking because I have acetate sheets already!
Thanks for another outstanding tip!
I also use the back piece off of the paper packs for chip board
Powder compacts often come in packages with an acetate shell which makes a fantastic round or square shaker window for a gumball or snow globe or tv themed card! I used one in the square format to make an aquarium shaker!
Great ideas I have been saving most of my Acetate and heavier card stock from packaging for a while very versatile tfs
I have often seen packs of overhead transparency sheets for great prices at thrift stores.
Well done, Sherry! I've always had the inclination to save these, but never the idea of what to do with them. Thanks for answering that quandary for me.
You are so welcome!
I love to use bakery boxes after I buy pastries. It’s usually beautiful brown cardboard with a lovely clear window; perfect for crafting!
Thank u Sherry 4 helping us save money on crafting. I think the face shields would also work. Would the clear window on envelopes work? Have a great night.
Have a blessed Thanksgiving.
How about all those envelopes that have "windows" ? They are a great source for those projects that you want to make a "pocket" to show your ID or vaccination cards etc. - amazing the things we usually toss out that could be a great help if we would just SAVE those items !!
I use plastic from packaging for " windows". You can also use the "plastic " from deli trays or packaging, the clear tops from donuts....it really is everywhere!! I have black garbage bags (2) filled with packaging and plastics that I didn't know was "acetate". My budget doesn't allow for chipboard, hence the packaging. I usually don't have this much but I've collected since September for Christmas.
Good idea I used my acetate for my planner. I made a sticky notes sheet out of it…tfs
You are very welcome Taylor !!
Thank you for sharing these ideas. I found that I could use the acetate from packages when practicing making your 3x3 note card box with the opening on the lid. Great advice!
Damn good idea! Two grandkids with lots of dolls and toys and now I'll be like STOP!! DONT RIP THAT!!! lol
I have acetate and faux chip board and enough cereal bags to sink a battleship! 🤷♀️ Now what, boss? I guess we can wait a bit to find out... or dig through the lost episodes! Thanks Shari 😁 Happy Thanksgiving to you and to everyone reading this. Smiles from the Southern California desert. MK 😁❤🏜🦃🥱
I just stumbled upon your video station, and I am impressed! I watched a couple already and want to now make room for paper crafting. Being a senior on a fixed income, I am always looking for inexpensive ways to do things and to purchase things for my needs. Being frugal by nature, I am inspired by you and can't wait to do my first project; covering the shipping boxes this household gets. I've always admired the beautiful company made boxes at the retail stores but was always turned off by the prices. Well, no more! Thanks to YOU, I can now make my own to fit in with my decor. Thank you so much!
Such useful tips, I saved the sturdy cardboard envelopes from my Cardstock orders, nice thickness.
Hi Ms. Sherry, Happy Thanksgiving.. 😊 I save my acetate and use it to make stencils when I, cannot find the type I, want in the art/crafting stores.
These are all great sources Sherry. It's like I can't throw "anything" out before I think "what can I use this for or will I really actually use it". I've been saving my packaging for a long time as well. But, being in a small mobile home, I can only keep so much. But I do find places to put it. :) I love all your tips and tricks and hope you come up with more. Not sure what else there could be, but you can come up with some pretty darn good ones. Be well, have a very Happy Thanksgiving & TYFS
THANK YOU......I HAVE THROWN SO MUCH ACETATE IN THE GARBAGE.....NEVER AGAIN!!!!!
You deserve a humanitarian medal for saving the landfills! Thank you for sharing. I will be mindful of saving acetate.
If you make box cards the curved acetate can be cut down for the little pop up strips. I mean I'm not a garbage hoarder 🤣🤣
Stickers sometimes have good sheets too. And berry packaging you can get lucky too
I accidentally bought a package of acetate. I thought it was something else. Lol but it was a very happy accident.
Great ideas! Thank you because I could not figure out where to get some that wasn’t super expensive
Sheri, so glad you brought this up. In a travelers notebook you made for your sister you have an acetate envelope that I love. I was looking around for acetate and happened to find Christmas decorated pump soaps from Costco. The lid was heavy acetate. Its big enough for several envelopes. I like repurposing.
I have been doing this for a couple of years. I will spend a couple hours cutting packages like this n boxes down, every once in awhile. Hubby said he wished I would stop collecting trash until one day I used a milk carton lid for a leg to a shelf. It was on carpet n I didn’t want to Mount it to my wall so we put the lid Uber the front. Perfect.
Hi Sherri, I have been saving some clear plastic pieces. You can also get it from the windows in pasta boxes. It's not quite as thick but still useable.
Toy boxes! A lot have a flat sheet in front, and each accessory in the box is separately packaged in acetate! Also, they usually have a sturdy piece of cardboard in the back. Nightmare to open, especially with those thick, tight plastic ties holding each and every piece in place, but they have a good supply of acetate!
Hi, thank you for sharing this video I wish I would have saw it before buying the acetate. Great share thank you
I save cereal boxes to use as chipboard and keep the clamshell food containers to use as acetate but I've been throwing away the yogurt lids. Pretty soon I won't have anything to put into the city recycle bin!
I love this, what a great idea for birthday or Christmas gifts! This one is going in my must have list! Thanks so much for all your wonderful ideas!
I just bought that same trimmer today ! It didn’t have the 5.00 price tag thou. lol it was 19.99. I also saved the acetate but never thought to save the other part Boo hoo. At least I know for next time.
I collect planners which some use acetate on. I have been saving them. I love using them for bookmarks or something to attach in my planner for small post-it-notes to have handy.
I have used these ideas and also the clear windows in junk mail. My family cant believe what make out of trash...lol
I just tried to purchase my Baby Posh wreath. Did I wait too long? Are they sold out? 🥺
I love to repurpose packaging. You are my favorite you tube crafter Sherry!🥰
Thank you so much Evelyn !!!
The nicer men's dress shirts are boxed in acetate. I'm going to have to start saving those from when I buy shirts for my husband.
I also use the plastic lids that come with foil pans. Also the plastic containers you get at the bakery with cookies, etc. This can also be used to draw on and put in the oven to make shrinky dinks.
I'm still glad I think a little like you. I have sheets of acetate from packaging.
Great idea to share! I do this as well, even tho I buy acetate because sometimes they are shaped or thicker!
Also any boxes, especially at Christmas time, that have large acetate windows.. you can pull them apart from the box!
Kids toys seem to have lots of acetate on them!
Thanks for the idea yes that will be my 1st goto recycle n reused for free it the best of crafting world. why pay when u can recycle. Overhead projector sheet r good as well. i still got a box left for college yrs
I’ve been saving this for years making shaker cards, windows on cards, or used as mirror stamping an image!
I have saved it but then when I go to use it I get discouraged by the used look it has. Is there anyway to make it look better after washing it?
While you are at the $Tree getting tape, go over to the foil baking pans. Some pf them come with acetate covers.
I've been saving acetate packaging forever...I have even used some of the pieces as "plates" or shims for my mini die
cutting machines. I use pieces as "dies" for items when I want to modify the shape of a die I already have. Cut metal die out of acetate then modify as needed, use pencil to trace/cut modified shape. Acetate can also be used as patterns for envelope making, etc. I save ALL the heavy chipboard from new die packaging (especially the Anna G. dies, that come in envelopes...really heavy) great for making boxes and other projects (journal covers.) Sorry for such a lengthy post, but it might save a "newbie" a lot of money. Love your channel! M. Sims
I appreciate this so much. I repurpose, reuse and all that in my crafting
I have often thought that the piece of plastic that is behind the slices of bacon should be useful. It's frosted but a good weight.
what about canvas bundles? there sheet of clear film in the middle
The acetate that embossing folders come in give You 2 good pieces of acetate to use I save them
Wow!! I get frustrated with having to throw out packaging. I didn’t realize there’s a gold mine - or more correctly and acetate mine- in every shopping trip! Thanks! PS that top looks amazing on you!!
Glad it was helpful!
That round one would make a great shaker piece!
This is what crafting is all about…
Woman get out of my head!! 😍😍😍😍😍. 🧚🏾🧚🏾🧚🏾🧚🏾🧚🏾🧚🏾🧚🏾🧚🏾🧚🏾
For real! I have been hoarding this stuff. I had to get rid of it because it was overflowing from my craft room 🤨🤨🤨
🤗
HAPPY & BLESSED THANKSGIVING, SHERRY, to you & your family! Hope your day was a very special one, spent with family, good friends & wonderful food! :)
Thank you so much Nanci !!!
I make my own with laminating paper.
Great Ideas Sherry!! Thanks Becky Happy Thanksgiving!!
Thank you! You too!
That last one could make a cute shaker card!
Hi Sherry. You are simply amazing for thinking how to reuse acetate from many products. I will be aware of saving it for future usage. 😃. I hope you and your family have a blessed Thanksgiving and wonderful weekend. 🦃🦃💕💕✝️✝️
Thank you so much Debbie, same to you !!!

Wonderful ideas. Undo works great to remove the stickers without leaving any marks.
Thank you Marilyn !!!
Great video. I came across your channel about 3 months ago, subscribed and really love watching your videos. This one you give great ideas of how to get Acetate and Chip Board. Before your video, I would have never thought to use those sources. Thank you!
Welcome!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Thank you so much for the ideas. I love reusing/ repurposing items. There's so much we already have that we discard that can be used again.
You are so welcome Susana!
I have been using Cheeszit boxes and making notepads and even use the packaging that the notepads come in! You have unleashed the crafter in me!! Thanks!
You are very welcome !!
Happy Thanksgiving Ms. Sherry. Hope you have a blessed day.
Thank you, Same to you!
Your work is perfection, I loved when you read to the child on Christmas Eve. You have such a soothing voice. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for all those amazing tips, the round acetate would be beautiful turned into a snow globe on the front of a Christmas card, thank you again.
You are very welcome Marny !!!
I usually keep the cardboard part but not the acetate but I will from now on! Thanks for this great idea!
Great idea!
I adore recycled projects!! TY! 🐞Happy Thanksgiving🦃
Happy holidays!
In place of buying chipboard especially when I'm testing a pattern or idea, I get chipboard inserts from boxes that pad serving-sized condiments. Saves me a lot of $$. Love the idea of using the acetate for my paper houses! I can even frost them! Thank you!
You are very welcome !!!
Thank you, Sherry, for encouraging the Scottish in me :-) I love the idea of looking at all packaging with an eye for crafting! I've even used acetate packaging for DIY soap molds. I appreciate how your fans have said they can use this video as justification for their saving packaging for crafting purposes to show their significant others! That's brilliant! Ladies, we are all in this together!
You are so welcome!

Glad it was helpful!
Never thought to keep the boxes from the ornaments
Thanks for sharing hugs

Almost threw out an acetate plastic box some cards came in. Very timely tip!
Glad it helped!

Thank you Janet !!!
