I could watch you all day, Natasa, you’re definitely my favorite for journaling. I’m new to this world and enjoying it so much. I purchased your book and I love it, so much information, so well written. I appreciate your life story and all that you’ve shared with us. I’ll be 70 years old in a few weeks and I’ve been a crafter all my life but never got into junk journaling, now I’m obsessed with it. You’re never too old to learn something new. You’re so talented. Thank you so very much for all your inspiration.
Beautiful. Thanks for making it seem a bit easier to rust things up. Your pup is calmed down well. He's bound to. You have a very relaxing voice. Tfs such a wonderful journal.
Personally, I don’t see how any of them were fails! I'm pretty sure that rust takes on its own distinct look depending on the metal that has rusted. I think they are ALL fantastic! Great video! ❤
Natasha, You just literally made my day!! I have rusted many items, and lots of fabrics too, but have NEVER tried adding the cinnamon. I think this idea is beyond amazing! You are a very thorough instructor and I could listen to your voice and accent forever. Its just beautiful! Thank you again for this primo lesson!!!
I'm in the process of decorating 3 signatures in my very first journal. For some reason, the papers that are mostly for journaling are the hardest. This video was helpful and timely. I love the rust technique you've created here. It's gorgeous. 😍
I didn’t plan on liking the grunge look, BUT this entire book is just the right combination of faux rust and regular journaling pages. You should make more… I bet they will well. I would buy one like this as it’s well-balanced. Good job Natasa😊
Well...here we go with idea number 9,369! I must remind you that YOU have NO fails...only inconvenient miracles!🤣 Wonderful instructions and great ideas!👍❤️BFE
Thank you for sharing your inspirations with us. I make books for a charity project and sometimes i am low on motivation and watching you lifts my spirit.
Thank you for being my muse. I watch you create and it gets my creative juices flowing. I've been in such a rut since covid. (I'm an ICU RN) A three year rut. I started making ATCs again about 4 months ago and was looking for inspiration. I found your channel and got back into making junk journals. Thank you for inspiring me to create again. I really appreciate you. I have showed my appreciation too. I just received your wonderful book yesterday!!! Thank you so very much.
Nik the Booksmith did this same technique many years ago, and it is one of my favorite rusting techniques. Thanks for reminding me about this. Your work is always inspiring. BTW, I asked for your book for Christmas. If Santa doesn’t deliver, I will treat myself. ❤️Had to add, I love seeing your sweet Banjo. He is precious!
Natasa thank you for sharing this. You never fail to disappoint me. I needed corners for a fabric journal I've done and cannot find any near to me in South Africa. I found a tutorial by Chasing Papers on making faux metal book corners. Very Happy with the end result. I don’t seem to be able to make my corners come to a nice neat point . Thank you again for the inspiration you give us.
It never ceases to amaze me that you take bits of this and that and turn them into works of art. Your faux rust method is brilliant but something anyone can do. Thank you for the inspiration!🌻
I just think you're so inspiring and the best of all is that you make it so fun & easy + not having to purchase expensive products but making art with what we have around as living in countries where we have to apply currency exchange, shipping + high taxes make everything so so expensive. I just love all your ideas, art, colors you add to everything. ❤❤
Yay! It is Natasha Day! I would never have thought this look or technique, but the more you created the more my mind became a popcorn popper with ideas for my upcoming projects. Thank you muchly!😊
Gosh….. I love your tutorials ❤ Not only are they fabulous ideas, but you’re so thorough in explaining and keeping it very simple and easy to understand. Thank you ❤
Love your technique. It’s easy to follow and fun. I’ve seen other tutorials for this but none are as easy, nor as quick as yours. Plus the added bonus of your quick wit! 💜 I had never done any JJ until I found your channel. You inspired me to be creative with my love of papers, inks and ephemera. To create something beautiful out of junk and waste! I’ve been laughed at for saving it until they’ve seen what comes from it !Thank you for sharing your talent with us so we can create from our hearts too! 💜
😍You are SO creative Natasha! Thank you for sharing this technique, I would've never thought of it! It has a very 'Steampunk', Tim Holtz kinda of feel to it. As a matter of fact, had you not shared with us that you made the rust elements for the cover yourself, I would've thought they were from a Tim Holtz collection! Just AMAZING work on your part! So inspiring! I never regret taking the time to watch your videos! I also learn something new and get inspired to create something more---you are such an ARTIST!💕
You, once again, are amazing!!! Such an inspiring project!! However, you have a magic ability to make me think I can do what you do, and then FAIL CITY!!! 😂😂😂 Banjo looks so so so spoiled!! You are right, that’s the life!!❤
Always a pleasure viewing your channel...Your technique are FABULOUS and your instructions are clear & easy to follow...Thank you for sharing your creative process..................😻
Awesome video! I absolutely love your talent! That rust is amazing. I also love how you stitched the tear in the paper and that stitch pattern is really cool. Your foam is felt, it looks soooo good. Thanks for sharing!
your videos are so comforting... i might use this technique but i mostly put this on because my tonsils are so swollen i cant relax and this is totally helping me :)
Estou apaixonada por esta técnica! Eu amo canela! Parabéns e obrigada por compartilhar tuas inspirações com o mundo! Eu aqui do Rio de Janeiro- Brasil! ❤
Banjo is getting so peaceful. Happy. And it looks like he’s bringing you just as much peace and happiness as you’ve given him. 😊 wonderful. Bow I watch to hear your voice, learn a little and see happy Banjo
So glad you showed the teal. I couldn't imagine what that would look like and why you would suggest it. It looks like the patina of aged copper. Can't wait to try it. And I'm also glad you didn't mention the cut-outs initially because the first thing I thought of 'rusting' were bunches of real keys. You know how we all have those keys we don't know what they're for? Well, I have them. I wanted to use them in my work, but they looked like boring keys and I couldn't think of any way to make them 'artsy'. Now I have a way. I. think I might need to rough them up with sandpaper of a file, first. Really looking forward to this project. Thank you so much, Natasha
You make evruthing so simple. Thanks for sharing. I am relatively new to the junk journal world. I have been collecting things, purchsaed your book and now I need to get down to business a d " just do it"! This is a great hobby as I am an educator by day and crafter in my spare time.
Natasha your work is amazing, your tutorials are perfect so easy to understand, it’s such a joy following your channel. These faux pieces are extraordinary and the process so beautifully simple. Thank you for sharing! 🫶🏼
I heartily disagree with you! There were NO fails in this video!! 🤩Everything looks great! We have cheap cinnamon in our US dollar stores, I wonder how salt might work, or other fine-powder spices. Will have to try this soon!
Agree with others....you are a great teacher, showing and explaining very well 🙂 Definitely will try the Faux Rust Look, seems very doable. Thank you 🙏 for sharing your ideas with us.
So beautiful like all your work Natasa! I was looking for your rustic book 📖 to purchase it! Someone is a happy camper with the grungy rustic book. Thank you for letting your creativity take its course and the fails are always victory’s!! I love all your videos, besides your creativity, your voice, your hands, your funny at times, just a genuine heart pours out from your videos! God bless🙏🏻
I love watching your videos and this technique is almost addictive because it allows you to experiment and try many things and the result is usually very satisfactory
Such an authentic outcome. Definitely need to try this method. Thank you for saving us from the trial & error period! That is sometimes why people won't try new things.
You fascinate me every time I watch you craft!!! To have your talent would be a great blessing!! Thank you for All you do to teach and encourage your viewers!!!
I'm not really a fan of rust but WOW! You made it look so gorgeous! I love seeing your pup in your videos. Makes me smile seeing how peaceful he looks. Thanks for sharing him with us.
Eres de lo mejor. Amo tus explicaciones y las diferentes tecnicas. Gracias por ayudarnos a crear cada dia. Saludos y abrazo fuerte Natasha. Desde Bariloche - Argentina......(of the translator)...... You are of the best. I love your explanations and the different techniques. Thank you for helping us create every day. Greetings and big hug Natasha. From Bariloche - Argentina.
BRILLIANT!!! I love this process and the results. Real rust is just not my thing and this is a simple budget friendly solution. Thank you so much for the inspiration!
This is excellent work! I love how you create these inexpensive treasures. For so many of us money is just super tight. I cannot wait to try this! Thank you !
I just cant take all this awesomeness! you are truly a talented artist! i hope your selling these beautiful journals? i am so grateful you are sharing all your ideas! what a great gift of education you are giving me!
Wow, these look so real, I was kinda shocked when you started with paper..lol I thought you were rusting up shinny metal. Wondering, would this method work on metal, maybe using alcohol ink instead of paint 🤔 ? Now You've gone and done it Natasha.... brought back the rusty ephemeral craze! I love how you hold back on the grunge, I agree much more appealing but still provides the essence. 💕💞💕
Wow !! Certainly alot easier than other tutorials I've seen dear. Super simple and not alot of steps . They look absolutely amazing and you always explain everything so beautifully .I appreciate you sharing your talent with us Natasa . Tfs !! Crafty hugs and blessings .
This was fantastic ! Well done. I have been looking for something like this for ages. Thanks for giving me a look at your darling dog💕💕💕. Take care hugs🇨🇦
I love your introduction of this video, scrunching the journal was cool. I love the faux rust look. I always let mine air dry but may try the heat gun. Your journal is incredible. Love it.
Well, the grass isn't going to get mowed tomorrow. This would look cool on little picture frames as well as a number of other things 😂👍❤️ What you were calling foam, we call felt and it looks lovely on that journal cover! I have a bunch of that and now I need to try that too! You're always inspiring!
This is the best, and easiest, faux rust method that I've ever seen. Thanks.
Thank you so much 🙏

What a fast and easy way to faux rust things! Thank you so much for the tutorial Natasa!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
The absolutely best method I have seen to create faux (aka health-safe) rust. Thank you!
You could have a side playlist doing ASMR flip-throughs. I love your intros! (And I love your projects too.)
You, once again, are amazing!!! Such an inspiring project!! However, you have a magic ability to make me think I can do what you do, and then FAIL CITY!!! 😂😂😂

This is another wonderful technique. Would be great for those who love Steampunk.
So glad you showed the teal. I couldn't imagine what that would look like and why you would suggest it. It looks like the patina of aged copper. Can't wait to try it.
And I'm also glad you didn't mention the cut-outs initially because the first thing I thought of 'rusting' were bunches of real keys. You know how we all have those keys we don't know what they're for? Well, I have them.

I. think I might need to rough them up with sandpaper of a file, first. Really looking forward to this project. Thank you so much, Natasha
Fantastic. The larger ones look fine to me...and likely you would cover parts of them in use. BEST rust idea I have seen. Can't wait to try this.
I really love how you explain the mishaps along the way & show how you remedy them.
Thank you for sharing such an easy way of doing rusty look😊 you are truly talented. Banjo is precious...thank you for rescuing him.
You’re so innovative, I always learn so much from your videos & I’m glad your puppy is fitting in very lovingly.
Great technique and video! I will be playing around with that. What you are calling foam is what I call felt.
So pretty. I really like how you performed surgery on the rips
Wow I love this project, love the rustic iron effect
Thanks so much!
Great faux technique! A definite must try for people who love grungy effects. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing yet another wonderful and inspirational tutorial. Oh, and that brown fabric on the cover's adornments appears to be felt.
I agree with you, there is a fine line between grunge and dirty. Love your journal and LOVE this tutorial!!! I really appreciate what you do!
Omg Natasha thats brilliant. You just nailed the rusty look. You are such a wonderful teacher...truly inspiring❤
I'm not really a fan of rust but WOW! You made it look so gorgeous! I love seeing your pup in your videos. Makes me smile seeing how peaceful he looks. Thanks for sharing him with us.
Whoa! TFS the rust effect. Your journal? EXCELLENT 😮
Without coming off like a know it all, I think the word you are looking for to describe the brown material you use is "felt" Love your videos.
This process is so much more doable. I have wanted to try the rust but not how they showed to do it. Thanks very much.
