If you would like to see more projects using fabric paper, I have another video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r75og7ZlupzUgGw.html

Hi Kari. I put the watered glue in a bowl and put the fabric in that, squeeze it out and let dry. It's faster that way and I can do a batch of fabric. I love what you've done! TFS.

You can also use clear silicone caulk, spread it evenly across the whole of the project, let it dry, and then it's waterproof!

If you wanted an aged or distressed look you can put instant coffee in the water you mix the glue in and it will "paint" it with a patina Loved the colours and patterns in the sheeting one :)

I had a go and decided I was too impatient to spend time smoothing out cheesecloth with PVA glue and a brush. Instead I used a plastic bowl (glue will peel out of it if dried) and put my cheesecloth in the bowl and added diluted PVA and mixed it in the bowl with gloved hands. Smoothed it out on the plastic trash bag and it was wonderful. *Caveat* sweet little feral Tillie hasn’t learned the ways of being a house cat with a million art projects going on at once. I heard her crying and came down to find a ton of cat hair and paw prints in the tacky glue. A quick wipe down with a wet washcloth and she was good to go although I did consult a Vet and she said it was not toxic to cats in the small amount she probably ingested. So a potential disaster now has a sentimental touch.

This is such an incredible method, producing a unique, useful, and beautiful material for arts, crafts, journaling. I don't know how I've never encountered this technique before as I have been crafting for 60 years and have watched 1000s of youtubes in the last several years. Thought I'd see and tried it all. This absolutely blows me away! TFS.

I think you are a little generous genius and you’ve made it look so simple, which I don’t think it is. They would make AMAZING bookmarks!

I’m researching some ideas for a project for art class using fabric, and I came upon this video, and all I have to say is WOW, I have NEVER seen something so cool as this. It absolutely blows my mind, you are VERY talented!👏🏻

Making a garden journal for 2023 year of gardening. A fabric cover would be wonderful. Also, my sister sews. Using the sewing pattern pieces would be fun on a card for her. thanks for the FUN!!

What fun! I’ve done something similar with used dryer sheets.

I’ve just come upon you channel and you mentioned you were coming up on 3k subscribers and look at you now! What wonderful growth!!! Congratulations! Love your fabric papers ❤!

I am a paper map freak. I'm going to make fabric paper maps. Calendar paper maybe? I think it might work. Worth a try.

Totally different from what you’ve done here but I’ve got my grandma’s McCall patterns that I’ve been holding on to until I could think of how to display them. I’m going to make some fabric out of them. Thank you so much for the inspiration

This was fantastic to watch. Learning something different! Thanks for sharing your inspiration and creativity 💜 🌻

I've just learned about this technique (joomchi - fabric paper) today and am absolutely enthralled. I plan to use it for a wide range of sewing/quilting projects and even experiment making fabric bowls and vases. Thank you so much for the demo!🥰😍💝

Oooh lovely! Must admit I’ve never seen this idea before. My ‘girls’ look to me for new ideas and I think, well I know, one of them would be very interested. A small group of us, 5 in total, meet every Friday afternoon for a variety of crafty stuff, eg. cross stitch, chicken scratch, embroidery, making and covering boxes, mosaic work … I’ve got them making felt ornaments and after finding a huge box filled with silk scarves of all sizes (you wouldn’t believe it) I’m working on how to simplify silk painting in the room we have allocated just for us! They have done scrapbooking but as everyone is French they stick to regimented designs, so boring I could die! So back to this project it’s certainly got me excited! Never done journaling myself but it’s something I may like 🤔 …. I have a few sketchbooks in my stash because I can’t resist buying them …. I was thinking of making a book cover for one … do you think your idea is flexible for a hard book cover? Anyway must dash as it’s Friday and the girls are meeting up! I’ve subscribed because your ideas are gorgeous and you sound like a lot of fun!

Wow what a great idea thanks for sharing friend stay blessed

Absolutely love this! I had done this what seems like eons ago. Since I have been using napkins in my journals lately, I have bits and pieces of great color pieces left over that I could not part with. What a wonderful way to use them up! ❤️❤️❤️

Fabulous! I will definitely try this! 😘

Ive tried this with well washed, old gents handkerchiefs. The cotton works really well. Thanks for the share I have enjoyed this very much.

Never seen paper made this way. Turned out beautifully. I believe I love the one made with the napkins the best 😍. ❤️❤️❤️

Love it! Can't wait to see the process of the junk journal.

Absolutely loved this idea!!! So many possibilities 💕💕. Thank you for sharing🥰🥰🥰

I love them both and I plan on trying it out to put it in my scrapbook journal.

Really interesting technique. I can see trying this out for sure and maybe trying it on glass for a lighted shadow box.

I'm so glad I found your channel, thank you for sharing this process! I love the finished creation 🎨

This is absolutely fantastic 🤩🤩🤩

I’ve done something similar. I used cut offs of plywood and glued palaver napkins on them in a similar fashion to make shelves. I will try this on used dryer sheets next. I love the addition of paints for a pop of color. Thanks.

These Boxes are adorable

What a beautiful idea!! Congrats on the subscriber milestone! We love you Kari! ❤️

Oh, YES! I am going to do this! I have PLENTY of fabric and paper and this looks just so funand relaxing! Thank you for the video!

Wow! Just wow 😮

I love that you used sewing patterns

I made some of these! I used tissue paper for one and I experimented with book pages with script. Looks great! If you crumple these up and then smooth out it get textured and really cool too!

This looks like so much fun, Kari! It would make a perfect cover!

Beautiful project and results- will certainly try I LOVE that you don’t use the same (often Romper Room style, meant for toddlers) music-great video

Looks like so much fun

I love the colours in this demonstration. It turned out beautifully. I can't wait to try some of these pieces and I think I will sew a few large envelopes to use a wrapping for special presents ie clothing or books. Love it.

Wow! My first video & I instantly subscribed! Beautifully narrated & the art is amazing 😍🤩

Beautiful!

Beautiful work. Thank you.

Oooh, I did something similar but without the layer of fabric. What a great idea to add such a layer to make it more sturdy! Love both results! I really must try this technique with napkin too.

What a great idea for a journal cover! Awesome colors and great texture. I see you are now at 4K subscribers- Congrats!

I've been making fabric paper now for many years. I've been using the material in my mixed media art, for my Spirit dolls clothing as well as junk journals. Don't ya just Adore the feel of the finished product!

Love this idea, and the items you made are beautiful! It’s only been 11 months since you posted this, and you now have almost 9000 subscribers-almost 6000 increase in 11 months is fantastic-congrats! 😊

This is a new, fun looking skill! I was mentally combing my paper/crafts supplies to think of what I could do! This is the first time watching your channel, so I have subscribed and know you will reach 3,000 very soon! Thanks for showing us how. I think I may have some binge watching to do. Greetings from California!

Fabulous! Great cover. I also like that it is strong, fabric, and translucent. Would love to know how it stands up to wear and tear over time. About 5 years ago, I made a cover for my checks using two layers of brown paperbag paper painted with acrylic paint. It has taken a beating in my purse because I have my eyeglasses, my wallet, and keys in there. After about 5 years, it is beginning to show some wear around the corners and some edges. I used some bookbinding tape on the fold to protect it. Everyone thought it was leather. They had a hard time believing it was paper. I thought it would only last a few months. To my surprise, it has been over 5 years

I do really like the way your papers turned out!

Thank you so much Kari, I really really enjoyed watching you create this Awesome and Stunning fabric paper, what a great idea this is!!!!!!! And the one with the flower napkins is absolutely stunning too. I’m going to share this too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags. P.S. I’m going to give this a try, I really really love ❤️ it

I am in LOVE with this. I honestly never thought of doing it, but I am going to now. Thank you for sharing this bit of art with us. Beautiful. ❤

This is really cool. A must try .

This is gorgeous. So creative and tons of uses for it. And !! something to do with unwanted sewing pattern tissue, and sheets!! Only trouble is I don't need another craft to squeeze into my studio 😅. Glad KZfaq suggested this to me!

With all the fabric I’ve collected over the years and found it too precious to cut, this is a perfect solution . You always bring us something delightful to add to our creative knowledge. Congratulations on almost nearing 3,000 subscribers!

I love this technique, I've never seen it before, so thanks for sharing! I love the variety of textures, colors and how pliable the fabric paper is. So inspired! Just subscribed and I hope that you make it to 3,000 subscribers soon!

Loved this video thank you great result watching it eating choc covered strawberries how decadent xxx

Absolutely gorgeous! I love the way you give instructions on how to do this special craft.! And I love your smooth British voice. Love the background music 🎵🎶 and more important... fabulous idea! Thanks for sharing this with us.🤗🌹

I made fabric paper many years ago when I was into art quilting. It’s so fun! I think using it for journal covers is brilliant! Also if you ever start your own girl group you could be “Kari and the Magentas” 🥰😂

It is so beautiful and I am definitely going to try!

so happy to have found your channel. your voice is very soothing to hear whilst communicating the necessary information. thank you for keeping the chatter to a minimum. it is so much easier to follow along without hearing excessive chatter! :)

This is amazing, I am very into painting and sewing and wow! This is a combination of both! 😮😮😮😮😮😮❤❤❤❤ I never thought about it! I am definitely going to do something with this idea, thank you very much!

I think you could also use old style net curtains (which I have!!!) for the backing. ooo my brain is working overtime now lol.

I've done the glue on fabric, but I mix the glue with water then I just dunk the fabric into the container with the glue mix. squeeze out the excess and hang or lay out flat to dry. I find this a lot easier than brushing it on and holding the fabric in place LOL

Love, love, love this. I can't wait to try this!

This is LOVELY!!!

Thank you such a beautiful idea. Absolutely love your creations!

So much fun & sooo beautiful!!

This is sooooo beautiful! I can’t wait to try it.

Beautiful and fun! TFS the inspiration!

My first look at your videos.. Wow, this was super fun and creative. I’m excited to give it a try. Thank you! Fun!!

I literally cannot wait to do this. I love those kinds of textural things

Wow! U just opened up the door to a TON of ideas for patterned paper....AWESOME idea! Thanks soooooo much for sharing this

Love what you have done with this!

OMG! You just reminded me of something we used to use when I used to work in a fabric store. I forget the name of it but there is a product that you brush onto fabric that turns it into paper. You can tear the fabric like you do paper. Oh darn ! I can’t remember the name of it. It gives almost the same result you got but you start out with fabric. I will check it out and get back to you about it.

Wow what a great idea!! These came out so great!!! I love it as a cover too!!!

Love, love, love what you do.

I've started to collect plastic sheets...anything that is wrapped in (preferably clear) plastic for this technique...it leaves such a cool effect

I will so give this a go! Thank you so much for these ideas!

Absolutely love this

The ideas you just gave me !!!!

Thank you! Very fun stuff.

Just beautiful!!
