Hi Netkna. Thank you so much for watching this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. I'm glad you enjoyed it and thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a nice comment. Stay Creative!
How fun to have this vintage video to show up on feed this morning. I enjoyed watching it again after all this time. Now, maybe, I'll just give this a try as my life settles into a routine after retiring and moving. Thanks, Barb, for ALL the inspiration you have given me over the years!! Much love to you, Darla
A happy accident is a serendipity. I think it's an excellent word for it! This was a great one, thank you! May life bring you many wonderful serendipities!
Hi Donna. Thanks so much for watching this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. I'm glad you enjoyed it. ;-) Much of my life (in all areas) is serendipity. I try to live with a plan but ALWAYS allowing the soft voice of guidance to show up and take me to new places. Stay Creative!
Hi Linda! I'm glad you enjoyed this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. It's a fun and different way to make fabric paper. ;-) Thanks for watching! Craft paint is definitely fun to use. Sometimes I like it more than student grade or artist grade, even. Stay Creative!
These flowers (and sun) are really quite beautiful! I enjoyed watching the process especially knowing the landfills will be less full. Thank you for your very clear instructions.
Thanks, Patty. I'm glad you enjoyed this sample class from HowToGetCreative.com. There are many more creative arts video classes located there. Thanks for watching and leaving such a nice comment. Stay Creative!

Hi Danielle. Thanks so much for watching this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Feel free to join me live on Fridays at 2pm Eastern if you're available. Stay Creative!
I sure enjoyed this video!! I'm a paper crafter that uses my wipes/paper towels for future art projects. I've sewn simple stitches on paper, but have not done so on my towels. I can't wait to give this a go!!! I also love making my own flowers and can't wait to see how your way mixed with my way works out! Thanks, I'll be checking out more of your stuff from now on.
+Mad Gladys Fabulous! I've loved combining fabric and paper for several years. I always love the outcome. Thanks for watching and letting me know that you enjoyed the class.
Hi Barb, I saved your video- no idea how many months ago..now(during COVID19) I'm catching up with my sewing projects while I watch saved vieos- I love your flowers you made with the machine's gadget..I have one but haven't used it as yet. Thanks for your work

I was just thinking the other day I need to invent or look for something to keep my thread together without it unwinding in my box. I learned something today. THANK YOU.
This is the first time that I have seen your work, I think it's wonderful and you truely have created a flower garden. It's lovely to see such glowing colours and imagination and I have spent a very happy hour and a half (ish!) in your company. Thank you very much. By the way I hadn't seen scalloped scissors before but I managed to track down a pair via Amazon UK, so more thanks due, Barb.

Thank you so much! It was a great tutorial. Also, I love the way you teach and you have a lovely voice too so this makes listening so relaxing. From sue in the U.K. 😊
You made some gorgeous flowers with those home depot shop towels. Hmmmm, my husband buys them by the box. I love making paper flowers out of regular paper towels and using mod podge on them, but you have taken this to a whole new level. Love them. I also love the way you do your videos with a thumb nail on the bottom and close up on the top. New subbie here. TFS, Diana
Rocky Road Creations Thanks for watching and your nice comments, Diana. Those shot towels are so cloth-like that I just had to do something with them.

+Cheryl Sigler Thanks, Cheryl. I love watching people who do things that I don't do. All creative activity inspires me! Glad you enjoyed the video class. Stay Creative!
Loved this so much. I particularly loved the way you used one as a sun in your journal. They would be cute on canvas art, you could make a bouquet for your art room, pin one to the outside of your purse or tote bag, decorate the cover of an art journal, place on gift tags. I suppose you would need to spray them with a protective spray of some sort in some of these applications. I'm definitely going to make some of these.
Thanks, Ramona. All great ideas! This is a sample video class. You'll find many more video classes located at HowToGetCreative.com. Feel free to take a peek. Thanks again for watching and leaving such a nice comment. Stay Creative!

Hey Barb...I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video and seeing how you created these flowers...so awesome...thank you so much for sharing all your time and hard work with us all. I love to sew & for years I did alterations for people and yet I haven't done much sewing just for fun and mixing it with my art work...time to rethink it. :-) Stay Creative ~ Pauline
Hi Nancy. Thanks so much for watching this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. Once you begin making these flowers, they might become a little addictive. ;-) I'm glad you enjoyed the sample class. Stay Creative!
Thank you for this thorough and entertaining tutorial, playing with those snazzy paper towels. Now, all I have to do is find this type of paper towel. I have seen those industrial blue ones at the car part places, however, I will have to keep looking, for I don't want to have to buy a case of them from the Big Box places. Your flowers are beautiful and I am inspired to play on my Bernina again. I haven't been on it for some time, for I took a break from quilting and started doing mixed media. Now, I can do both. Thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial.
cheryl7476 I'm so happy that you're going to "play" with your sewing machine! It's such an amazing tool for lots of things. I began sewing and tailoring clothing. Now, I use my machine mostly for mixed media projects. Thanks for watching and your king comment.

I am sending a big and warm hug. Take care of your mental health and emotions as well. How are the "sponsors " doing without your husband? Are they looking for him? Give them lots of hugs, too. A better New Year to you and Race.
Hi there. I'm sorry that I totally forgot your name. . . Sandy? The cats and dog are adjusting. The first couple of weeks were very strange for them and I could tell that they were uncertain about things. Life seems to be more settled for them now. They were an enormous help for him and are for me now. I'm very grateful to have them with me. Thanks so much.
Enjoy your videos, very informative; but this one is fabulous. I can hardly wait to try this...love these flowers and how they are made. Thank you so much. You are a great instructor. Keep up the inspiration! Thx!

I’ve seen you do this before and started painting paper towels. I have a lot painted and forgot how to do it.i got onto other projects. Now I want to make some of these darling flowers. Thank you for your continued creativity.
These would mage up some really super cool banners too! These are so super pretty I can imagine all sorts of different things you could do w them. You could even cut out different shapes.

Thank you Barb for the sample video. Strangely I must have watched it at some time and gave it a thumbs up and this book of flowers gives me an idea for granddaughters whom I've said are my flowers and love to see how my gardens have changed since they visited a few years ago. They live in another state to me unfortunately. Will be watching a lot more since I damaged my hip in a fall. Mending though.
Hi Meme. I really hope I can help pass the time for you as you heal up. Thanks so much for watching this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. Wishing you all the best!
OMG Barb! you are amazing, my crats heroine! These flowers look beuatiful, all of them! thank you for sharing. I won't be able to stitch like this with my sewing machine but I will try anything easier. Guess what I am trying next weekend! Hugs from Spain
Thanks so much for watching this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. You'll find lots more creative arts videos located there. Feel free to take a peek anytime. Stay Creative!
I went out and bought one for my sewing machine, but I had no idea it was so expensive, so I thought unless I am going in to business making flowers I will never get the monies worth. so I took it back and will try free hand. But I love this and have made many, Thank you
+styleyourdoo I love the circle attachment. Any attachment like this one is definitely an investment. You can always use the thumb tack and tape trick if you don't plan to use it very much. Thanks for watching. Stay Creative!

Hi Mags! Lutradur is a great material to work with. I bet your flowers will be lovely! Thanks for watching this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. Thank you for the very nice comment! Stay Creative!
I really enjoyed this video...but do you have a video that shows u using that gadet to see the circles? what if u dont have the gadet is there any other way? I rewound the video several times incase I missed it.💜
Hi Gypsy. There is a video about stitching the circles. th-cam.com/video/ukFYibAeEAk/w-d-xo.html Hopefully, that will answer your questions. Thanks for watching. Stay Creative!

This is inspiring, Barb. I don't know if I have a circle maker on my Huskvarna Viking, but I'm going to check it out. This is too much fun to not do it.
+Barbara Clark This is one attachment that you can use the Bernina on the Viking or other machines. I saw a few years ago that the Bernina was the best circle attachment out there - simple and a great size.

There are 12 sample classes here on TH-cam and dozens more video classes on the website in the member area. Thanks for watching. Stay Creative!
Hi Janet. I'm sure that it would be fine to use pop dots to add dimension. I tend to create one layer cards, so the dots aren't one of my "go to" supplies, but people who specialize in card making use them so effectively. Thanks so much for watching this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com . Stay Creative!
Barb I love your work and you have a very nice way showing it. One question please. Could we do all these with simple fabric and not paper towels? if yes, should we put a medium in the acrylics, so that the fabric should not be stiff?
Hi Natassa. Thank you so much for watching this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. There are many more video classes located in the member area of the site. I'm sure you can adapt the technique in any way you wish. Regarding adding a medium - just experiment with and without and see which result you prefer. Thanks, again, for watching. Stay Creative!
Thanks so much for this class, Barb! I'm primarily a quilter, but this past year I bought a few sets of paints, not really knowing what I was going to use them for...just thought I might want to branch out and do something different for a change. As is the way of things, I came across this class quite by accident and am so glad I did! Thanks again!

Hi Meme. Great idea to use the Fabric-Paper flowers for cards or scrapbooking. Thanks for watching this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. My classes are often geared toward the person just getting into creativity, hence my "verbose" nature. ;-) There are many, many more creative arts video classes located on the website - some even more verbose than this one.

Where do you get your paper towels? I got some from Walmart but they don’t seem to be as big or have the same body as the ones you use in this video. Love your videos!!!! Just found you!
Hi Lupe. I haven't tried using any other brand of paper towels than the one I showed in this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. It might be worth a try with other brands to see how they work. Thanks for watching. Stay Creative!
Barb, this was just great. Will continue to watch. Have you considered or try tried to back your toweling with freezer paper and run through a printer for other options? Joy
Hi Joy. No, I've not tried that. I'm not sure that my printer would accept the thickness of these towels. Thanks for watching this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. There are many many more creative arts video classes located there. Stay Creative!
Hi Donna. The paper towels I used are called Scott Rags. They work very well for this technique. Thanks for watching this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. Stay Creative!
came across this video and these flowers are really gorgeous. if these flowers are being used on clothes would you be able to wash the clothes without the flowers getting worn ?
Hi Rashika. The flowers aren't washable. They would need to be removed before laundering. Thank you for watching this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. Stay Creative!
Hi Beth. The towels I used are "Rags" by Scott. They are durable white shop paper towels. I have no idea if they are still available as I recorded this video years ago. I'm sure that if this particular brand isn't available, there is something comparable. You could always try regular high quality kitchen paper towels, too. Thanks for watching this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. Stay Creative!
I have to pause the video to say this is one of the most informative and well-organized teaching videos I have ever seen! Thank you!!

Loved this so much. I particularly loved the way you used one as a sun in your journal. They would be cute on canvas art, you could make a bouquet for your art room, pin one to the outside of your purse or tote bag, decorate the cover of an art journal, place on gift tags. I suppose you would need to spray them with a protective spray of some sort in some of these applications. I'm definitely going to make some of these.

Hey Barb...I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video and seeing how you created these flowers...so awesome...thank you so much for sharing all your time and hard work with us all. I love to sew & for years I did alterations for people and yet I haven't done much sewing just for fun and mixing it with my art work...time to rethink it. :-) Stay Creative ~ Pauline
Nomadicrose Thanks for watching and commenting. ;-) I bet you'll enjoy combining sewing with your art. It opens a whole new world of creative fun.
Really did enjoy this video! I learned so many wonderful tricks! Thank you!
WOW!!! So impressive...I'm in awe!!! So fun!!
Hi Nancy. Thanks so much for watching this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. Once you begin making these flowers, they might become a little addictive. ;-) I'm glad you enjoyed the sample class. Stay Creative!
Thank you for this thorough and entertaining tutorial, playing with those snazzy paper towels. Now, all I have to do is find this type of paper towel.
I have seen those industrial blue ones at the car part places, however, I will have to keep looking, for I don't want to have to buy a case of them from the Big Box places. Your flowers are beautiful and I am inspired to play on my Bernina again. I haven't been on it for some time, for I took a break from quilting and started doing mixed media. Now, I can do both. Thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial.
cheryl7476 I'm so happy that you're going to "play" with your sewing machine! It's such an amazing tool for lots of things. I began sewing and tailoring clothing. Now, I use my machine mostly for mixed media projects. Thanks for watching and your king comment.

How are the "sponsors " doing without your husband? Are they looking for him? Give them lots of hugs, too.
A better New Year to you and Race.
Hi there. I'm sorry that I totally forgot your name. . . Sandy? The cats and dog are adjusting. The first couple of weeks were very strange for them and I could tell that they were uncertain about things. Life seems to be more settled for them now. They were an enormous help for him and are for me now. I'm very grateful to have them with me. Thanks so much.

Are these washable after completion?? And can you fuse the top and bottom of the paper towel after paper paintings dry?? Thanks

You're very welcome. I agree - great addition for gifts - super idea! Stay Creative!
Thank you Barb for the sample video. Strangely I must have watched it at some time and gave it a thumbs up and this book of flowers gives me an idea for granddaughters whom I've said are my flowers and love to see how my gardens have changed since they visited a few years ago. They live in another state to me unfortunately. Will be watching a lot more since I damaged my hip in a fall. Mending though.
Hi Meme. I really hope I can help pass the time for you as you heal up. Thanks so much for watching this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. Wishing you all the best!
OMG Barb! you are amazing, my crats heroine! These flowers look beuatiful, all of them! thank you for sharing. I won't be able to stitch like this with my sewing machine but I will try anything easier. Guess what I am trying next weekend! Hugs from Spain
+Flor de noche I'm so glad you enjoyed the video class! Stay creative and keep watching when you can.
So far love them all, thank you.

I went out and bought one for my sewing machine, but I had no idea it was so expensive, so I thought unless I am going in to business making flowers I will never get the monies worth. so I took it back and will try free hand. But I love this and have made many, Thank you
+styleyourdoo I love the circle attachment. Any attachment like this one is definitely an investment. You can always use the thumb tack and tape trick if you don't plan to use it very much. Thanks for watching. Stay Creative!
I will probably go back and buy it but right now I will make the flowers without ;)
Great idea, embellished my grandkids clothing and their dolls, thank you fun fun fun.
Hi Rhonda. Thank you very much for watching this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. I hope you have many hours of fun creating fabric-paper flowers. Stay Creative!

REALLY LOVE THIS VIDEO AND MAKING FABERT PAPER... I REALLY GOING ÞO PLAY DOING THIS
Hi Taz. I'm glad you enjoyed this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com . These flowers are fun to create. ;-) Stay Creative!
I really enjoyed this video...but do you have a video that shows u using that gadet to see the circles? what if u dont have the gadet is there any other way? I rewound the video several times incase I missed it.💜
Hi Gypsy. There is a video about stitching the circles. th-cam.com/video/ukFYibAeEAk/w-d-xo.html Hopefully, that will answer your questions. Thanks for watching. Stay Creative!
Inspiring video. Personally I am going to hand embroider the edges and use seed beads as well. Thankyou so much for sharing.
That sounds like a great idea! This is a sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. There are lots more video classes located there. Feel free to take a peek when you have time. Thanks for watching. Stay Creative!
This is inspiring, Barb. I don't know if I have a circle maker on my Huskvarna Viking, but I'm going to check it out. This is too much fun to not do it.
+Barbara Clark This is one attachment that you can use the Bernina on the Viking or other machines. I saw a few years ago that the Bernina was the best circle attachment out there - simple and a great size.
Awesome flowers TFS
Thanks, Rebecca, for watching this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. There are lots more creative arts classes located there. Feel free to take a peek anytime. Wishing you hours of colorful and creative fun.

Very creative! TFS!
Hi Jude. Thanks so much for watching this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. I enjoy finding ways to make paper behave more like fabric. Stay Creative!
I love your technique. Do you think this would work with muslin and fabric medium or would I need a thicker fabric?
Hi Sarah. Apologies for taking so long to respond. Life got very crazy here. I would try your muslin idea and see how it works. That's always my suggestion - try it and you might discover something wonderful! Thanks for watching this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. There are 12 sample classes here on TH-cam and dozens more video classes on the website in the member area. Thanks for watching. Stay Creative!
On your last flower used for the celebrate card could you use pop dots under layers for extra dimension?
Hi Janet. I'm sure that it would be fine to use pop dots to add dimension. I tend to create one layer cards, so the dots aren't one of my "go to" supplies, but people who specialize in card making use them so effectively. Thanks so much for watching this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com . Stay Creative!
@@BarbOwenDesigns Thank you for your reply. Have a great creative day!
Barb I love your work and you have a very nice way showing it. One question please. Could we do all these with simple fabric and not paper towels? if yes, should we put a medium in the acrylics, so that the fabric should not be stiff?
Hi Natassa. Thank you so much for watching this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. There are many more video classes located in the member area of the site. I'm sure you can adapt the technique in any way you wish. Regarding adding a medium - just experiment with and without and see which result you prefer. Thanks, again, for watching. Stay Creative!
Thank you for sharing. Is it ok to secure 2 pieces of paper towel together with cling wrap between them?
blackpearl I've not done that before. Give it a try and let me know how it works!
Love the flowers......need to find shop towels in white. I am enjoying your classes. I'm so glad I found you. I'm learning a lot.
Darlene Bromberger Fun and easy. . . that's my motto. :-)
Thanks so much for this class, Barb! I'm primarily a quilter, but this past year I bought a few sets of paints, not really knowing what I was going to use them for...just thought I might want to branch out and do something different for a change. As is the way of things, I came across this class quite by accident and am so glad I did! Thanks again!

Hi Meme. Great idea to use the Fabric-Paper flowers for cards or scrapbooking. Thanks for watching this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. My classes are often geared toward the person just getting into creativity, hence my "verbose" nature. ;-) There are many, many more creative arts video classes located on the website - some even more verbose than this one.

Hola! Gracias por esas flores tan hermosas! Me podrían decir que papel es ?
Hello Rocio. The flowers are created using paper towels. Thank you for watching. Stay Creative!
Where do you get your paper towels? I got some from Walmart but they don’t seem to be as big or have the same body as the ones you use in this video. Love your videos!!!! Just found you!
love this, can I use bounty or viva paper towels, they are pretty sturdy?
Hi Lupe. I haven't tried using any other brand of paper towels than the one I showed in this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. It might be worth a try with other brands to see how they work. Thanks for watching. Stay Creative!
Barb, this was just great. Will continue to watch. Have you considered or try tried to back your toweling with freezer paper and run through a printer for other options?
Joy
Hi Joy. No, I've not tried that. I'm not sure that my printer would accept the thickness of these towels. Thanks for watching this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. There are many many more creative arts video classes located there. Stay Creative!
Verrryyy beautiful...Verrryyy creative👍🏼👍🏼
Hi Vandana. Thank you so much for watching this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Stay Creative!
Just stunning!!!
Margie Kaz And really easy to do, too. Thanks for watching.
These are just beautiful , will be making some . Just want to ask ,what were the name of the paper towels ??
Hi Donna. The paper towels I used are called Scott Rags. They work very well for this technique. Thanks for watching this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. Stay Creative!
came across this video and these flowers are really gorgeous. if these flowers are being used on clothes would you be able to wash the clothes without the flowers getting worn ?
Hi Rashika. The flowers aren't washable. They would need to be removed before laundering. Thank you for watching this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. Stay Creative!
ur ideas are outstanding mem superb
Thank you, Siman. I'm glad you enjoy watching my videos. Stay Creative!
Bellisimo trabajo.... pero no se puede agregar subtitulos en español...
Thank you for watching. I'm sorry that I don't speak or understand your language. I hope that you can still enjoy the video. Stay Creative!
Would like to get these paper towels but how do I know I’m getting the right ones from Home Depot or Lowe’s
Hi Beth. The towels I used are "Rags" by Scott. They are durable white shop paper towels. I have no idea if they are still available as I recorded this video years ago. I'm sure that if this particular brand isn't available, there is something comparable. You could always try regular high quality kitchen paper towels, too. Thanks for watching this sample video class from HowToGetCreative.com. Stay Creative!
