A handy tip is to make yourself a little handle on the back of your texture plates, by folding some masking tape in the middle, then sticking the edges down on the back of the plate. Makes it nice & easy to pick up the plate from the Gelli plate.

Thank you for some wonderful ideas for reusing regular items that might otherwise go straight into the trash. So cost effectively and lessening our footprint. Other things are I’ve found around the house for texture - legos of different sizes, jars with embossed pattern on the glass, ceramic tile backing, woven baskets. So much fun to discover these hidden texture treasures!

Hello! I just love your videos. I've been watching all of them on my television which means I can't leave you any comments or thumbs up. So....I'm on my computer now and I'm going back to "fix" that. You have wonderful techniques that are well explained and I love how you show actual samples at the end of you making cards or other items that uses the paper or fabric that you have embellished. Thank you so much for sharing. I look forward to your videos with pleasure. (Peg)

I have some I made a couple years ago. I folded some paper into origami birds, glued them down , then glued down some rice so that it looked like they were eating birdseed. If it's flat enough to be glued down then it's fair game for a texture plate.

Those are awesome! I just saw Carole's video (Carole's Recrafted Boutique) where she made some texture plates and linked to your video. I love your use of household found objects, I'm always trying to use what I already have and keep it out of the landfill. I've made a few of my own before, but you take it to another level--I'm going to make one with straws for sure! Great ideas, gorgeous prints; thanks for sharing. Take care!

i have used all except for the straws - i love the straws - Also what i did was purchase a Paint Roller from the Dollar Tree - empty toilet paper rolls fit on it Perfectly - so i wrapped the rolls with - aluminum foil - plastic wrap - twine - Fun Foam in ABCs - 123x & Shpaes - rubber bands - texture plates also sold at the Dollar Tree - but another idea for your cardboard is Water Bottle Caps - that makes wonderful circles - thank you Teresa - oops i had to come back and add Bubble Wrap!!

Nice idea. I thought you would lay out the yarn in a random pattern but your version is stunning. My favorite is fabric. Some of your plates might last longer with a couple layers of a hardening medium or gesso (painted or sprayed), especially the straws. All the various types of pasta, peas, beans, legumes, feathers, silk flowers and leaves can make interesting templates too, again a gesso or something to make them waterproof and protect them from breaking should help them last longer.

@morningdewgarden7432 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Cheryl, I coated pressed leaves, etc. with gloss gel medium and used those to do printing on my gel plate and it worked beautifully. Can you imagine the messy crumbly stuff stuck to my gel plate if I hadn't coated them first? Lol... Of course fresh is always best but I wanted to see if it would work. Now, in Feb. I'll be able to do botanical prints! I have never tried silk flowers. Do they look fairly real when you print them??
