Hi Natasha! I don’t think you are complicating things or over explaining. You my dear are just very thorough with your explanations and demonstrations. And I personally think that’s fantastic! I love that. And I rather have explanation like yours rather than having something explained half way or without all the possibilities. Less questioning and second guessing that way. You are an excellent teacher of your craft. I dig this newspaper look. I’m definitely going to make a journal using it. And all those cute pockets and those wonky envelopes are just too sweet. Thanks Natasha! Enjoyed the video! Watched it twice! Some parts three times!! ❤️💜💚
I think I am not alone when I say, we all wait patiently to see what that creative mind of yours has in store for all of us and you share so many ideas! You are truly my inspiration!
Am I the only one who squeals and claps their hands, like a little kid, during the intros to Natasa's videos every week?? Or is it just me over there giggling in delight?😍😉 Glad you're back, Natasa, and hope your holiday was fantabulous!
Ha! You should see my couch! I. Watching this while slurping my coffee. I stopped/ started, stopped/started, following you and making samples of everything you made. I think I loved the most….weaving twine, embroidering,and the little slip knots on the edge of the card. I love them all. YOU are magnificent!!!
VIP,,, I just found out that if you iron the newspaper first it will set the inks and dyes and you won’t get it all over you. Just protect iron and ironing board to be on the safe side. My friend actually said, That’s why butler’s always ironed the newspaper before the man of the house read it…. Interesting tidbit of info
Excellent idea!! I was wondering about that. I also want to try lightly spraying the newspaper with varnish. It will also protect the ink and give the paper a crinkly feeling. This is one thing that I love, love, love, about rhis channel in particular, and we crafters share amazing tips and tricks based on Natasha's videos!!
What amazes me more than your creativity sometimes is your ability to reproduce a brilliant idea and tweak it to a whole new idea, again and again. We all have good ideas once in a while, but to work out an idea to a system, reproduce it, evolve it- and the consistency of you showing up with more, and more, and yet more... I'm in awe.
Fabulous inspiration as always Natasha. Thankyou once again for your brilliant teaching and your patience, talent and amazing creativity. You really are the queen of crafting. 👏💕💐❤️
I really don't mind a 2 part video. I really enjoy you talking and showing us how you create with your designs. Speeding up the video, we miss your mind creating. Thank you for sharing designs outside the box.
I love watching the first minute and a half! It's so satisfying seeing you flip through everything without talking and to just hear the sound the projects make 😊
I love this idea so much! I’m kind of like you, I don’t like really touching newspaper, plus it gets that black ink on my fingers! So what popped into my mind is using the paper that newspapers are made of. Without investigating further, I decided to use the paper that is used for packing delicate items when you move. I have a bunch left over from my last move, which was 15 years ago!, You just never know when it’s going to be needed, right?! That’s what my sister told me anyway, maybe I’ll give her a special envelope! Thanks again for all the suggestions - - I love it!
Alone those sensual intros - purest bliss. Else: I can only repeat myself: Whatever you are doing is outstanding creative, amazing, paper art, fantasic, stunning, awesome, inspiring and absolute pleasure to watch and to reproduce.
Everything you create is an eye opener, the crackly sounds of the paper and the amazing diversity of ephemera made by you is astounding. I couldn't begin to think how you even thought up these ideas. My mind is blown away.
Amazing as always! Thank you for sharing a glimpse of beautiful Banjo! I love all of them! I think #4 is my favorite. I’m going to find a newspaper and make some of the pouches! I love your long videos, I’m sad when they are over! I know it takes a tremendous amount of time and energy to film and edit everything so thank you for taking the time to teach us new ideas and for sharing your tutorials🤍
Hi Natasa, so many beautiful ideas and first I'll try the bags and decorate them as you did. Everything you take in your hands turns to wonderful things, unbelievable ❤. Thank you so much for all your absolutely beautiful videos. Best greetings from Germany, Gerlinde
You definitely have the most unique tutorials filled with textures, sounds and eye candy! I love, love all of your pockets, pouches, bags and all the many tips and tricks you include throughout the tutorial. As always, Natasha TFS❤ PS I'm so glad you showed us how to make the semi circle embellishments. They add so much interest.
Squeeeee. Oh how fun!!! Love these. Once again so inspiring. My grandmother used to make her dress patterns out of newspaper, or so my mother told me. We used the old comic pages to wrap birthday gifts when we were kids. So your tutorials also brought back some great memories as well. Thank you!
Love Love Love your channel! I can’t wait to make these! You are super talented and but you make everything so easy to make with your step by step tutorials, You are my Most Favorite craft channel!! Thx for all your lovely inspiration!!❤
😮😮❤ ok, now I am going to have to do this!!! I say that with every video. These are so beautiful!!! I just wish I had a fraction of your talent!!! I'm going to be watching this one over and over again. ❤❤❤
My mind is blown. These little books are so beautiful, endearing, captivating! I am going to buy a newspaper and some washi tape today. I worry about my day job, haha, because all I want to do with all of my time is sit and make these projects!
I loved all these ideas! Idea number 3... “SLEEVE” comes to mind for a name, it holds the journal. Does a sleeve have a bottom.🤔 who knows? Who cares?! 😂 I love all the uses for news paper! I found an old one in my stash, and have been cutting from it, doubt I have a full page left. If I do, I am making something from it! Going to honor the newspaper. My dad threw a paper when we were kids, I remember helping fold papers in the summer. We had a paper boy, his name was Ruben( his socks didn’t match) he would come collect for the paper, and give us a little ticket receipt. What a fun piece of ephemera that would be to find!! TREASURE😊 that is one thing I love about your channel Natasha, not only do you INSPIRE, but you spark GOOD MEMORIES!💕🤗
You did the fold for the first project with scrapbook paper a couple of years ago. I love all your projects. The accordion pockets on the front of a journal is something I want to do. Thank you for sharing your ideas, Natasa . 🙂♥️
I started making these "wallets" back in junior high/ high school to pass notes to my friends before everyone got cell phones. I folded it slightly differently but never thought to turn it into a book. Thanks for sharing! 😊
I love the origami wallet fold. I hadn't considered binding multiples together. I have used it by making one and stitching a small signature into the spine so I have a notebook w/ extra pockets. I also make a blizzard book and slide the first and last flaps into inner the pockets of a wallet fold so it becomes a book cover. Other thing I do is to make one, fill it with journal cards and tags, and stick it into a pocket in a handmade mini album. This thing so so versatile.
Happy I found your channel. I've been looking for someone who demonstrate various forms of book making and have been learning so much from you. Thanks for the inspiration!
I cannot believe how talented, creative, imaginative, inspiring & clever you are. Your ideas/creations/designs are amazing. So beautiful. You are one of my favourite RU-vidrs. I LOVE watching your clips. Thank you so much. 🙂👍❤️
You’re doing a great job of the explaining about the washi tape addition. Sometimes I find it so hard to verbalize what my hands can do,,,, . And if we are all inspired to try it, that’s a win for all of us. I’m actually thinking of doing this origami folded wallet look with a double layer of fabric that’s been adhesived together. I have a boat load of fabrics that would be fun to use. Great tutorial and I’m only on the first idea ! ! ! 🥰
I appreciate that when you teach a technique, you show multiple ideas on how to use it/decorate it. Also, I love that you left in the sound of the hole punch on the scrap paper 😊
What a wonderful introduction/presentation ! The sounds of the paper,the beauty of the charms,beads,threads,lace EVERYTHING. I haven't even watched the whole video I stopped at 1:58 its so mesmerizing. We all have stuff on our minds ,problems that need solving, issues that plague our thoughts but whenever I watch one of your videos. All those annoying thoughts go away & I am filled with joy & I get a real good feeling. Maybe this is sick but that me .Who would of thought I'd get so elated watching these beautiful cards/inserts being placed inside pockets????Now I'm going back to watching the rest of the wonderful video. May God continue to bless your Gift.
This is just way too fun! Wow 🤯 So many great ideas. We can always count on you for endless inspiration. This is a video that I will have to come back to several times because I want to try them all! What a fabulous way to repurpose newspapers. Huge thanks for all of these amazing inspirations! Hugs 🤗❤️
You have a great opening segment! I LOVE all the sound as I watch with excitement, to see what you are going to show us! I love your ideas and creations!
Danke für die Darstellungen. Du zeigst alles sehr gut und langsam. Und du weißt auf Besonderheiten hin und vergleichst sehr gut. Man muß nicht perfekt englisch können. Wer kein Englisch kann würde auch sehr gut mit der Darstellung klarkommen.
You have such smooth hand moves at the beginning of your videos; you could be a card dealer in Vegas but I am glad you aren’t!😂. And so are the rest of your fans! Once again, fabulous ideas wonderfully demonstrated! Thank you, Natasa!❤
I love how the pages of the Journals in pockets look with the ruffled edge. Would love to see how you did these to make each page look so uniform and perfect :)
I purchased your book- ironically very close to, or on the day of release 1 year ago just a few days ago. It arrived and I am in ❤. 🎉 Binge eating your videos- I have been your follower for a few years, but life got real bizzay. I love when you pull out something and say, “dare I say I have had this for near a decade?!” Yes! Same! Funny how the cooperative components and counterparts finally flow together. Who knew?! Love it all. Thank you for all you do and showing us your treasures and how to make our own. Much inspired and much appreciation to you my crafty friend🎉😂❤🎉❤
Yay!! I’ve been going through Natasa withdrawal lol I hope you had an awesome Holliday/vacation ❤ You are by far my favorite JJ/crafting RU-vidr. I tried to look around this past week while waiting for this video and didn’t find anyone I love anywhere near as much. Can’t wait to buy a journal from you someday!!! You are amazing no matter what you do 😊
Really enjoy your videos! Always amazingly creative and inspiring projects! I learn so much and stay engaged through the entire video. Please don’t stress or worry that the videos are too long! Thank you for sharing!
My favourites: #1.Loved the simple 1 page embelished pouch. #2. Concertina pouches glued together. #3. Washi Tape using cellotape pressed down over printed paper and pulled back! 🎉
You really made my heart sing using all these creative methods, especially with the newspaper. I could watch you create for hours, but then I would not have time to go and create!. Thanks for all you bring to us!
Nos tienes que enseñar como hacer sobrecitos pequeños,el otro día vi en tus agendas 2 de portada con un hilo,y ahora veo ese de color lila.Desde siempre me han gustado los sobres,no se la razón.Antiguamente tenía una cosa para hacerlos,pero no sé dónde esté o sí mi hijo lo vendió! No creo sean tan difíciles,por eso te lo pido.
I am so intrigued with this video! I love paper! I actually hate when I have to throw away some psper...bullrtins, news, catalogs! I have used catalogs and magazines to make booklets and journals; and magazine pages for envelopes (and actually mailed them). It's been a long time and you have reinspired me. Thank you! By the way, project #1 is my favorite, then 3, then 4, 2, 5!
I love everything you do Natasha! You are one of my very, very favorite artists on RU-vid! Thank you for all that you share! You have got the best personality, sense of humor, and awesome voice!❤❤❤❤❤Love you!😊
I loved this video! I especially enjoyed the pocket book! I intend to try that one very soon - I have soooooooooo much scrapbooking and cardmaking paper and I love stamping my own, as well, so I intend to mix and match any newspaper with other, pretty paper! I am so glad I discovered your channel! You've inspired me more than most other channels so much! (I suspect you live in my hometown of Melbourne, Australia, too - I currently live in the UK, but it's always lovely to spot an AFL image in a video, however fleeting!) Thank you, Natasha! ~M x
Asking us to pick a 'favourite' is like asking a mother "which child is your favourite?" Even IF we had a favourite we would NEVER admit it nor would we ever tell. I love newspaper but have only ever used it for collage. These origami inspirations open up a whole new world of possibilities. Fantastic work Natasha. P.S. An hour long video from you where every minute is packed with detail - is not at all "too long". ❤
I really enjoy watching your presentations, very clean original ideas. You have come such a long way from the negative talk you had, glad to see the self doubt gone. Times for you were rough. Glad you didn't quit!!!
Another mind blowing project! Who knew newspapers could be a thing of beauty instead of a bearer of bad news! Natasa could you do a diagram of the folds on a piece of paper, like you do in some of the other videos? I’m trying to follow along and remember, but my aging brain isn’t keeping up😊. Thanks
It would be great to use a foreign newspaper, maybe Japanese, for the base. It would look wonderful even if you didn't add all the embellishments. I've done that fold but in a far smaller size and used them in journal pockets so I know they can get bulky with regular paper. Using a newspaper is genius. I state again that I hope you leave your brain to science (you can even wait until you're dead to do so - IF you must!).
Sometimes the hardest part of creating is just getting started, but you always make me want to make something right damn now. It may not even be what you're making. You just have a way of giving my own creativity a kick in the pants. Thank you for that. And, for your intros. They're crazy fun to watch. ~ Lisa
I went the an Asian Market yesterday and grabbed 3 newspaper in 3 different languages and when I got home I thought; what am I supposed to do with it! I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this video! 🤯🤯🤯
Natasha you never cease to amaze me. I love these projects. You are so creative. I always make your projects and the recipients love them too. Thanks so much!!! ❤❤❤🎉🎉
While watching Natasa’s videos I compiled so many notes/prototypes that I decided to create a dedicated journal to put all those printed notes and samples into. If I ever have (when I retire) my own RU-vid channel, I’ll hire somebody from my family to produce dramatic intros like in Natasa’s. Video pieces of art - intriguing and lovely. An expanding pouch (38:29) and Wonky Envelopes (8:45) are two of my favorites. Thanks a lot for this as usually!
Newspaper is becoming nearly "extinct" nowadays, but what about using another nearly "extinct" product: old telephone books where there's much more fine print? You set me off again, Natasa, thanks for a brilliant video, as always.😊
Goodness, I just can’t believe how many things you can do with Newspaper. And the way you stamp & embellish them it’s gorgeous! I love 💕 how detailed you are. I really look forward to your videos . Much thanks for sharing with the rest of us 💕
