Great tutorial! You don't waste time with long pauses and you don't give too much unnecessary info as so many others do! Thank you and please more tutorials! I love it when people get to the point!

love everything you do-your the best teacher ever-thank you for listing your measurements and thank you for NO MUSIC

Oh my goodness I have got to quit binge watching your channel. LOL! Now I want to haul out my parchment paper and make bunches of bags. Great great ideas and I so appreciate how you explain everything. Patti

And your bags look very professionally made, just like the store-bought ones (but even better because you made them)!

Heck yeah this helped BIG time and I can't wait to try it. This was GREAT, Sabrina. TFS.

You can buy glassine paper by the roll on Amazon. Parchment paper has Teflon on it, which is why it is hard to get tape and coffee to stick to it. I like what you did. Good idea! TFS

I found this link that explains a bit. I would say you can make glassine substitute bags from parchment, wax paper, or freezer paper depending on what you plan to do with the bags. If you’re using for journals, I would test small pieces of the paper with the mediums you plan to use to see if they adhere. If for food use (as the pic on those glassine bags you showed, suggests), is the food greasy at all? Glassine paper is made to resist oils. Glassine envelopes are often used to hold stamps when you purchase them from the post office. I surmise it’s so the stamps doesn’t stick to the envelope if they get any moisture on them. All of the papers I mentioned above are for food use initially, but wax paper and freezer paper isn’t meant for heat because the wax layer would melt, so you wouldn’t use those to line a cookie sheet as you would with parchment baking paper (I mention this because I knew of someone who confused them and it made a smoky mess in their oven, plus a fire hazard). I have used all these papers in my art projects, because I love to experiment with what I have on hand. Sorry if TMI, I’m an information junkie ;-) www.thepackagingcompany.com/knowledge-sharing/waxed-bags-vs-glassine-bags-whats-the-difference/ PS- I was also thinking you could use tracing paper and pattern making paper and I believe those come on rolls which are more economical. I like them because they’re translucent and would be a nice layering addition to a journal, collage, or most any mixed media project.

Love your presentation. So down to earth and easy to follow. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing the option of using parchment or wax paper and the embossing suggestion. I am going to cut my paper slightly larger and run it through my printer with a digital download. I will then trim to your suggested measurements and assemble my bags from there. This will definitely allow for perfect direction of the layout and to capture the best sections of my image. It will also provide the option to create additional envelope sizes or tags from the remaining printout. Printing will then be on both sides of the bag and this method won't leave any heavy ink definition from a back and base seam! Can't wait to begin creating envelopes!

I watched your tutorial a while back and made them. They turned out great. I did find parchment paper that is a brown color at "The Christmas Tree Store" in USA. It's not as thick as the white paper, but looks good, no need to coffee/tea stain, just inking the edges! Thanks again for all your great videos, really enjoy watching and learning - Becky

Great tutorial! Thanks for the tip with punching out the notch! Love your examples! Very nice! Tfs hugs Renee

Great Video Sabrina! Thank you! I just found your channel and subscribed :) I Love your technique! These came out Perfect!! Great tip placing paper inside while gluing, using scoreboard And the punch tip!! I Love the Embossed idea! Thanks again!

Thank you for sharing this. Saves us all $$$ I’m new to your site but I’ll be back to see more.

Those are decorated nicely love making my own as well

Great idea! I know that baking parchment has a silicone coating and that is what keeps things from sticking to them. You might also try tracing paper. It is a bit thinner but does not have the coating of silicone.

Such a great idea! I love the sound this paper does when you touch it! I think I will try and get away with baking paper for making one though, thanks for the lovely idea! 🙏🏻💖😍P.S. I love your finished pocket with the Library Card, I adore Library Cards! Librarian taking over my artistic side I guess he he 📖😄

Glassine?? Wax paper bags. I love that you are making your own. A few years ago I purchased sandwhich bags that were made out of waxpaper. I loved them for putting handmade cards in them for storage. I love your idea for making yours out of parchment paper.

It's funny you just put this video up because I was just watching tutorials from years ago! And now I have yours to follow! Thanks for sharing your process! Hugs Renee

I love your ideas! I’m going to make some. Thanks for sharing!

I have tons left over from scrapping so I’m all about making my stock work. I’ll be watching ya girly. Lol.

I am new to your channel and I have to say you are amazing! Your tutorials are easy to follow and I love that you think of so many useful ways to DIY. Thank you !

Easy-peasy! Great tips to make bags and could be altered to any size with a little practice. Also if you are using them between journal pages you can leave both end open for pockets for inserted tags or whatever once stitched into a signature. Love your videos.

wow, I love this!! Now I am going to have another addiction. Can't wait to do these!! Thank you very much!

Love the tutorial - can't wait to make these this weekend. Never thought to try to emboss them. So clever!

Awesome. For some reasons I didn't try using glue to make a pouch from rice papers. And it did work. Thanks. I also have a circle puncher and the half moon is right on. I didn't have the scissors though.

Great tutorial. I’ll try this with my baking paper which I have here. TFS . 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Great idea Sabrina! And as always, clear and easy to follow instructions. I'm going to make some tonight with waxed paper, I used up my baking parchment last night when I baked a spinach and feta cheese pie ❤

This is a fabulous idea! Thank you so much!

Enjoyed your tutorial, helpful for a beginner like me. Will catch up on your back videos. New subbie x

OMGoodness!!!!!! Thanks for this great tutorial....I’m new to junk journaling and starting out is somewhat expensive......these are awesome!!!!!!

great lesson! Thanks so much and loved how you decorated it!

I love what you did with the bag at the end of the video. It looks soooo cute!!

So glad I found your video as haven't been able to find glassine bags here in the UK.

LOVE the decorated bag. Thanks for the tutorial!

Very cool! Thanks so much for sharing this!

I am glad I am not the only one who can't get corners even 🤔💕

Great information, loved your tutorial! You are so full of wonderful ideas and cool tricks😉. I've been enjoying your videos, so thank you for sharing❣

Love your video. Tip: when you want to taper the top of your bag, kind of fold both sides together without actually folding, just matching the sides together, the cup both sides at the same time. Easy peasy!

Thank you thank you so much for sharing your wonderful ideas for Glassine bags as I can’t get bags in Australia but an purchase from Etsy but a packet of bags cost approximately $4.00 postage to Australia can be $30 + ridiculously expensive So again thank you You are a treasure I’ve made bags from baking paper works perfectly xoxo

Thanks for the tutorial. delygirl1961 on KZfaq said to vintage the homemade bags up to use watered down walnut stain and heat dry and to emboss them without tearing them to put paper in the bag first.

Sabrina, great tut. just loved it and thanks for sharing it with us. Keep up the great work. And remember, Keep Living the Crafting Life©1995.

The difference between the materials is that Glassine is archival, that's why stamp or coin collectors use them . Wax paper is just that, waxed and parchment(baking) paper has a silicone coating to prevent sticking that's why your tape wont stick. BTW since you decorated the bag so nicely I don't even see the bag ,Lol.

Wonderful ideas...thanks for sharing 😎 😎 😎

Thanks for the useful tutorial. We also have trouble finding them here in Australia so this is very helpful. Loved the way you decorated it with the tags, etc. New subbie so now can't wait to check out more of your videos. tfs.

Love this idea,am always looking for ways tosave money. Thanks for the glue tip, I also had the glue problem when I tried it, so TFS

Cereal bags are great to use for recycling!

Hi Sabby! What an awesome idea! I have a big giant roll of freezer paper that I think would work great...it is waxy on one side and uncoated, or parchment, on the other side. TFS! xo

Hi Sabby, those are awesome bags. I really love 💕 them. And I’m going to try these out. Thank you so much xx Mags

This is the cutest idea and I can’t wait to try it. Thank you for sharing! 🤗💖

Hi, I just found you today and already subscribed. On to watching your other videos. Please keep making these wonderful videos.

Tracing paper works well.

Fabulous tutorial, thanks for showing us how.

I use parchment when I bake my dyed papers, then I'll use that paper to make my glassine bags or envelopes. Great tutorial, Sabrina, and I'm thinking you're a fellow Canadian since you use Our Compliments? Have a great night. Debbie :)

Lol love your nails. I enjoy you creativity.

Love your tutorial I’m definitely will be making some for my junk journals.tfs

Thank you for the tutorial it was great to see large bags

Love the video, when I tea dye my paper I line the oven racks with parchment paper, it always comes out really nice and I been looking for a idea to do with it I will be using it to make these bag thank you

Great turtorial love all of the tips and info. Thank you.

New subbie here, just popped over from Kazeekins channel. Love these little bags and so very useful and lots of scope for variations TFS Hugs Annie xx

Very nice, easy to follow too. I'll be trying these real soon. TFS ~ L

I just found you! Thank you for this tutorial! I will definitely be using this!!!

Very nice tutorial. Thank you for sharing!

Thankyou for a great tutorial. I have not bought the Glassine bags because of the price being on a very tight income, I will be giving these go, I bought a 90 meter roll of baking parchment from Aldi on one of special buy deals, anyway the parchment is a lot heavier than the small domestic rolls .I don't know if you have Gladbake parchment in the US but it's also a heavier parchment. Once again Thankyou a wonderful easy to follow tutorial... Xx

You can bake in oven to get the browning, or can purchase brown parchment paper

Nice project share!

totally enjoyed your teaching how to make the bags thank you new subbie

Hi, I just subscribed. I came across from the lovely Kay (kazekins) channel. This video was great and I am just going through your other videos, what brilliant ideas you have. x

Thank you for the video, I will try this ❤️

Try embossing your bag, but add a piece of card stock and it may not tear. I had an embossing folder that always tore the paper, but when I put two sheets through at the same time, then it didn't tear!!!

Love this idea. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks I asked because I have a bunch of thr material that the brown paper bags are made of and I thought it would be a good use of it. I have tons for journal pages

Thank you 😊 for sharing this, I am looking forward to making some and with your video I can now!

I love that they are home made,,

Super cute indeed.

Thank you for answering. Have a great day. 🎈

Love this thanks for sharing, and they also sell parchment paper sheets, mostly see them at the dollar stores.....that would save ya a step.

Great tutorial.

Love this ... what a great finish .. money saver too. Thank you . x

Sabrina what if you put a thin piece of copy paper on top and bottom of the parchment paper bag and then try running it through the cuddle bug and see if it still embossed it.

Great idea 😍

Great ideas!

The scissors you're talking about are pinking sheers.

Great info, thank you 😊

Love this. Thanks for sharing.

Great tutorial thank you for sharing!

Love it!!!! Thank you

love this

Wow, tfs the tip on punching the thin paper. It was another duh, why didn’t I think of that moment.

I love it , me encanta.

I found that alcohol sprays make wonderful colors on parchment paper

Very nice. Tfs.

You can use pinking shears

Great tip!

Thank you great work i can not find bags for sale in queensland aust. Now i can make my own. Erin b

Beautiful

Absolutley beautiful! ☺

Love it

Thank you.... I love these

great way to save a lil money! I'm brand new to paper crafting so my stash is very limited. thanks for this tutorial! maybe try lining up your corners without creasing the bag to get those corners even? you do good with eyeballing it, but I don't think I would lol

Thanks for the tips, I subscribed 👍
