Turn inexpensive paper napkins into a great DIY version of vellum! It looks fantastic in junk journal projects, and it’s so fast and simple to do, you’ll be astonished. Dig out an old white candle and let’s get started!

I love the faux vellum idea! A easier way to shave the candle would be to use a cheese grater. They got small handled ones at dollar tree usually. Then you can get a lot done at once and have a stash whenever you need it! 🤗❤

Very fun. I love the stamping idea. Ive only seen this with printed napkins. I dont own an iron believe it or not. Ill have to look for one at the thrift store. I used to iron all the laundry especially husbands shirts. Since the divorce i havent touched one. Im all ironed out 😂😂😂😂 fun video as usual anne with an e😊❤ you are my inspirational guru❤

@annekenlon 2 ай бұрын

Thank you, Suzy! Truthfully I don't iron that much myself anymore - we're mostly a T-shirt crowd around this joint!

Great video. I use a slightly different technique to get the melted wax vellum look. (basically warm up the paper and rub with the side of a candle, use kraft paper as a blotter).I love the pockets you made! I'm going to add something similar to my current journal project. I wonder if I can draw an image with permanent marker? Or maybe I will try something with a preprinted napkin. Ooo the juices are flowing-thanks Anne. (It's not even 8 AM yet)

@annekenlon 2 ай бұрын

Great tip with rubbing the candle - I’ll try that while my candle stuff is still out! Have fun with the pockets and whatever else you try! Thanks so much.

I would use paraffin wax blocks and use a grater to make the shavings

Super idea - thanks, Sandy! And paraffin wax is easy to find in the canning section of the grocery store this time of year.

I really like this idea! I’m wondering if you could use the faux vellum over pretty paper die cut shapes to make dangles? Coffee is a crafting must for me- nectar of the gods!

@annekenlon 2 ай бұрын

Great idea! So many possibilities here - have fun with yours, and thanks for watching!

@JennCadyFiddlyBits Ай бұрын

Paraffin wax absolutely has chemicals, but what you’re breathing is likely minimal because you’re melting it rather than burning it.

@annekenlon Ай бұрын

Thanks, Jenn! I agree!

@clairebarrow4896 Ай бұрын

I love this idea! So fun. I was thinking about the crayons idea, and maybe if you mixed the shavings with white candle shavings, it might be more shear? Just a thought. Reminds me of the Freezer paper technique, but different.

@annekenlon Ай бұрын

Thank you, Claire! Mixing in a little color might definitely make an interesting effect. I appreciate your thinking of it!

Hello Anne, have you tried a cheese grater for shredding the candles. Just a thought. Really love the pockets.

@annekenlon 2 ай бұрын

Thanks!! I did think about the cheese grater but didn't want to co-opt our only one from the kitchen - and I was doing fine with the craft knife. But I do see on here many folks do prefer grating, so....that's grate! (ha!) Thanks for watching.

@LynneWilliams101 2 ай бұрын

Love this effect but watching a different video the crafter found that with time the wax trasferred to other items within the journal.

@annekenlon 2 ай бұрын

That's interesting, Lynne, thanks for sharing that caution. I can see how, if you were storing your journal in a warm place, that some tissue paper wouldn't go amiss to protect other items.

@brendaelainewaddell1682 2 ай бұрын

Wow Anne, these are fantastic. How does the faux vellum handle die cutting? How about running through embossing folders? I would like to try this in some of my card making. Thanks so much. ❤ 🇨🇦 😊

@annekenlon 2 ай бұрын

Thanks, Brenda! I didn't try die cutting but I did use a circle punch on a few pieces - as long as I put a cardstock-weight piece in with the faux vellum, it punched just fine. I don't think I'd try die cutting anything too detailed, though. But it's an interesting thought, thanks for bringing it up.

What happens when you are in really hot climates like Texas? Thanks for video.

I honestly hadn’t thought of that earlier, Gayle, but if you store your journals in a hot environment, probably best to use regular vellum. Thanks for watching!
