I've been binge watching your videos since I recently found you. Thanks for all the wonderful videos! I'm crafting again because I have been inspired by you! Really needed this right now. This video reminded me of a project I did when I was a child. I had big leaves that had dried. I put each one between sheets of wax paper & ironed them. I was able to store the leaves for a long time. I could handle & enjoy them. Thank you for bringing that memory back! 😊❤❤

The napkin makes great washi tape. Use a single layer napkin, wax it, then get some double sided tape layer it down in strips first before cutting the napkin in to washi tape. I make washi not just from napkin but from all sorts of papers including printed tracing paper. Try it it's is beautiful very addictive ❤

As well as napkins you can turn any waxed paper that is transparent into Washi tape I make all my washi tape now instead of buying it it just so unique & so addictive everyone please try it you will enjoy the process. Just like to say a BIG Thank You for your wonderful videos I've got some great ideas for my Forest Journal. I'm an artist but during lock down I had a go at making an mini photo album for my daughter now I'm so addicted to junk journaling I've been working on this forest journal for a good few months now so with watching your videos it has given me so many great ideas so I will be able to finish it now so keep your videos coming. Take care Chris xxxx❤️❤️❤️

I watched a woman make her own by laying strips of masking tape what ever width you like laid side by side on a sheet of baking paper, and then she painted and stenciled and stamped the strips. It looked beautiful and original. She said you keep the tapes on the baking paper that way the stickiness lasts on the masking tape if kept that way, and use as required.

Did you know you can make some amazing wraps for your foods by using fabric and bees wax? They are made exactly the same way but if you use bees wax they protect your food. You just can’t use them on meat. Great for bowl covers as well.

Hello from Alabama, USA. I was watching Natasia from Treasure Books, and she was unboxing a Journal she purchased from you. Inside were a few sheets of waxed paper. I had never seen this before, so I had to come look for myself and low and behold just 5 days ago you demonstrated your process. I have already made my towel covered cardboard, ready to pick out papers. Thank you so much for sharing. I have subscribed and am looking forward to watching more of your videos.

I had to laugh when you said you don't use your iron for clothes. Lol I don't either! Lol Reminds me of when I was buying some large cake pans at the thrift store. Another shopper said "You must do a lot of baking! " I told her I don't bake any more....I use them in my garden for holding potted plants to water them. Lol It amazes me how these papers turned out translucent. So pretty! The butterfly looks great...like a vellum one. And the pink crumpled paper turned out gorgeous. We switched to flameless candles, but thankfully I kept some wax ones...now I'm really glad I did as I'll be trying this too! Thank you for showing us a great way to transform paper. Both your voice and your slight accent are very pleasant to listen to. Congrats on 30 yr. together! Hubby & I are coming up to 58.

36:10 that translucent envelope looks awesome. The whole video is actually awesome, so much potential. So far for making papers translucent I only tired baby oil. Thanks for such comprehensive and hands-on lesson. I am a bit sick at the moment with a cold but still totally energized by this video and will walk to the nearest store selling candles to pick some and try on my paper. I trust your comment that the iron is not too difficult to clean after such experiments (and if not - well, my crafts are much more important than my cloth, lets face it).

If you want to streamline this process, skip grating the wax. Just iron the paper until it's warm enough and then rub the wax over the sheet. Saves a lot of effort and you use only the amount of wax you need.
