Take a piece of tape and tap on a corner to quickly help make the layers of the napkin to separate

Don't be, just start :-). What is the worst that could happen? You could hate it, and then you just start again. If it makes you feel better, I have many flops and I am actually going to start a series here on my channel where I will film myself fixing up the flops. There is no such thing as bad art, just relax, start and enjoy! Happy creating ❤️

@allisonjames2923 3 жыл бұрын

If I’m having difficulty separating napkins, I just dampen my fingers (not too wet though, just lightly damp) & pinch the napkin between them so it sticks to the front & back, then pull my fingers apart & usually the layers separate. These pages are gorgeous & love the words that sneak through

@jaynekeller5599 2 жыл бұрын

Put a piece of tape on the back side of napkin it pulls of a layer and then another piece of tape for second layer works great

I'm gonna go to the free library around the corner from my house, then head straight to dollar tree lol. I was learning the decoupage technique to decorate a box. Then wondered if I could do the same thing in my journal. This video was exactly what I needed. I didn't want to touch my journal until I knew what to do lol

Try taking a piece of tape wrap around your finger, then tapp the layer to separate them with ease! Cover the page with a glue stick, then lay the napkin on the page then glue stick over the napkin to smooth it over the page works great! Thanks for sharing your art journal 💡 ideas!
