This is wonderful, as I cannot find vellum paper in the craft shop any more! I've never heard of an Airing Cupboard before. What is it? I'm in Canada, and we don't have such things as airing cupboards, I don't think. I may try this method. Thanks for sharing! ~Janet in Canada
I make this paper, I have printed on it but I print before I wipe the oil on it. I just love, for pages for my junk journals. thanks for the tips. lean on God
yes I have used Glossy Accents as it does even if the paper is still a bit oily but am sure that there are other glues will try out the heavy gels as am sure that they would be just as god
it is the same as copy paper just a light weight paper but am sure it should work with most papers just means that a heavy paper will take more oil hope this helps Norma
I saw this on another channel and made such beautiful sheets from copy paper. Unfortunately, after drying and about a week the oil smell was so strong, I could not use them. Any ideas on how to help that? The papers you did are beautiful. It is such a great idea, but mine did not work well.
sorry to hear that you had problems - could be the oil that you used?? too much oil ?? I used vegetable oil which has been warmed slightly and then rub of as much excess as possible (does take awhile :( though) hope you have better luck next time
@@classiccarsclassicrock9433 have you tried by ironing the paper? I remember when my mother used to do batik and she cover the fabric with other piece of fabric and ironed out so she can remove the excess of wax. If you will try, please let me know about the results. Also, I saw others persons using paraffin for this technique.
@Gilda Lo Cascio, Ciao! Norma ha usato olio; lei ha deto que noi possiamo usare olio di cotura, olio di bebe, o di girasole. Neil altro commento, Nora ha deto qui il oilio di cotura funziona meglio. Spero che troverai utili queste informazioni. (Mi dispiace, non parlo quasi niente d'italiano).
I tried this technique and liked what I saw but it seems that the oil transfers to other paper even after removing excess oil. I'm using talc to remove as much oil as possible. Anyone with a better idea? One more thing, I used coconut oil which might be the problem.
yes the problem may be you using coconut oil as I have always used cooking oil and not had this problem. Good idea though to use talc to absorb excess oil.
Claudia, I did this a couple of years ago and left the papers in a ziplock bag for a few weeks and they seemed to absorb all the oil. I think next time I’ll put some dry papers in the bag with them. Or maybe put an oiled sheet between 2 plain sheets and iron?
Hi Suzanne sorry if my technique was not very good but have got better as time has gone on and now invested in better set up as this was one of my first videos but hey we all have to start somewhere :)
