I should have my husband watch your videos, so he will understand why I save so much stuff to upcycle. Then he MIGHT stop giving me so much crap about it. 😂 Thank you again for the awesome ideas and inspiration. ❤

I love all of these - thank you! I can’t remember where I saw the original idea, but sometimes I take extra threads and tiny fabric scraps and put them between clear embroidery stabilizer that later dissolves in water. Then I sew all over it very close together to catch all the bits, then wash it to remove the stabilizer. It makes a very cool textural piece of fabric.

Glossy Accents works nicely as glue for cellophane & it dries clear & glossy =). I've even used it to repair the side seams when they give up. I had an idea to do a journal full of transparent pages, years ago.. my cat kinda stole it. She seemed to thoroughly enjoy laying on top of the crinkle & making noise.

I’m literally sitting here laughing out loud at your description of the threads/hair!!! I feel the same way exactly…we spend all this time fixing our hair, but see one single hair on the table or sink and the gag reflex kicks in!🤣 So, so true! Now, about your projects…I love all (except the hair/threads) and will be making most of them. You don’t have to doubt why you do a thing or everything has to have a purpose. Some things can just be pretty and that’s all they need to be. Those little things that you can’t write on can still be added to a journal just like ephemera of any kind. This is a great video Natasha! Do you think cereal box liners would have the same effect? I have a LOT of those.

Absolutely love this, Natasha! I am a great one for saying, "Can I make art out of this?" to which my hubby usually replies with a resounding "NO!" which I take as a challenge to prove him wrong! One of the things I love the most about this project is the gorgeous tactile rustling they make! I'm a texture junkie and think these are gorgeous. I particularly like that fabulous ribbon you showed at the beginning - never seen any like that before. I have a lot of scraps of trimmings and ribbons, and masses of sequins I thought I'd probably never use, and like you I save all my thread offcuts. Nice to have new ideas for using up all this stuff and making something beautiful in the process. I love your creativity!

IDEA: when you showed the square filled with batting there was a pocket you said had no purpose BUT what if you make deep pockets, turn it upside down and slide it over something like thick cardstock that you have attached (just the bottom half) to a journal page to "hang" the square in the book yet you can lift/slide it off when you want to play with it.😊

I appreciate that you use materials that would be tossed in the bin. I think that all the projects in this episode were fun and useful. Even the shaker cards are useful as greeting cards- they're novel and fun. You could paint the butterfly and flowers with alcohol ink? Thanks again for your channel and your care of our planet- from the Green Mountains of Vermont.

Those charms could also be stitch markers! Love what you do. This has inspired me to create some of my own! I was looking for "Green" projects to do with my cutting machine, and this project is definitely going to be one! Thank you

The crunch….. Thankyou again…..😂 I’m thinking the pocket would be cute in a birthday card with money in it as a gift. Or in a card with a personal hand written letter to the person. 👍 Off topic- as an adopted Aussie. I love listening to the evolution of your accent. I know your Australian sense of humour has reached nirvana. Haha Never taking anything as an offence. Sarcasm makes us bullet proof. I’m so impressed that you have evolved to putting 2 syllables in the word ‘here (here-ya) haha The threads? Maybe an animal themed something. Fur? It’s not disgusting. As you often say ‘it’s only limited by your imagination!’ You’re so right about plastic. I appreciate this video. I have a LOT of saved plastic.

Natasha, as usual, you amaze me. And, you crack me up! The threads looking like hairs and why people are so freaked out by a random hair! I love these concepts! I recently bought my mini dachshund a toy with crinkly bits inside and he LOVES it. I knew he would. There is something oddly satisfying about the sound and feel. I have been collecting my packaging also with the thought of windows for specimen cards and the like, now I have some great examples of making things that can actually be useful! Many thanks.

I love that you included how you ended up with a lot of plastic packaging! Thank you for adding that. It's true that we should ask, "why". Too much packaging, but at least us creatives use it for beautiful and useful things! I laughed at the hair comment afterward. Oh, when you showed the attempt at making a butterfly shape I thought about how they could be hot glued to a hair clip. My six year old made a cute hair clip with some packaging material. She cut a hole in the center, squeezed the center parts together and said it looked like a butterfly and that it should be hot glued together in the center and then onto a hair clip. So I did the hot gluing, and she thought of that cute hair clip!

I am so happy to see you saving thread snips. I have been saving threads from sewing projects and have a whole bag full. Someday I hope to use them. I was thinking of making a scarf by putting threads between water soluble stabilizer, sewing, and then dissolving the stabilizer for a soft "thread scarf". Now if only "some day" would come!

newbie here 😊You are so creative. So I have a new baby grandson and he has a little crinkle book that is so similar to everything you made. The only difference is that the plastic is on the inside of the pocket book. The ideas are going through my head now. You can even make crinkle plushies as fidget toys etc. I love how we can use these in our journals though. Thank you for sharing your amazing ideas ❤

I recently learned that there is a word for those cut off threads you're saving. They are called orts. I am also collecting them in a glass jar, saving them for a friend who plans to make a sort of fabric by placing the orts between two sheets of a clear plastic product. My friend will then sew all around in every direction, and then place the entire piece in water, which will dissolve the plastic, leaving a loose piece of fabric.
