Mixed Media May! - Fabric Paper! 

OMG....napkin backs for toilet paper! I haven't laughed that hard in a long time....but what a great 'hack'. LOL

Lol, I could have watched this for several hours...it was just so relaxing, other then me turning the tablet to this side and that side as was helping you collage the napkins on. Definitely giving this a try.

This looks like so much fun! I cant wait to see the finished product.

Sounds like a good day with family and good weather

Oh Gayle I love this! I can hardly wait for tomorrow to see the next part. Being a quilter I love material and this will be perfect for me. Thank you so much for sharing. Hope you’re having a wonderful day. 🥰

Happy you got to see you family ❤️ This was so relaxing to watch ☺️💖

Ooooh I love this idea Gayle, it looks great fun, thanks for showing us and I look forward to seeing it once it’s dry xxx💕

That is a fun project and it seems very relaxing to do. I think I'm going to try to make this tomorrow! Thanks for sharing.

Oh, what fun! I 'll have to try this. I can't wait to see yours tomorrow.

This looks like it is such a relaxing thing to do, I have had my pretty fabrics out and now I'm feeling like it's time to have a play!! You do such a good job making me feel like I can do what you do, Gayle. I'm so glad for encouragers like you.

I love your channel Gayle and you have so many things I want to try. Thank you for sharing what you do and what inspires you.

What a fun project! I'm definitely going to do this. Your first cover turned out great!

Good morning! More fun with mixed media May! Love it!

It is so lovely Gayle. Can't wait to see the end result.

This is so much fun! I had a crafting date with you this morning! 🙂❤

Loads of fun. Thanks for sharing. Look forward to see the finish cover.

I don't know where ideas like this spring from because my well is always dry. I can copy like an art forger, but to come up with napkin bits glued to fabric? NO, my brain doesn't go to those places. Can't wait for Part 2 to see how this turns out!!

Fun watching the process for fabric paper again! TFS the inspiration, Gayle!

I'm glad that you got to see your family for Mother's Day. These fabric papers started out turning really beautiful. I can't wait to see how it looks after it's all dried. Great video as always. Thanks for sharing with us!

Looking forward to seeing the result! Glad you had fun with your family.

I love this project. So happy you got to have some fun family time.

Those are really pretty. I can't wait to see the end result. Glad you had a nice Mother's Day.

Now that looks so fun!!! Going to do this for sure.. thanks Gayle!!

oh my goodness is this wonderful Gayle - i cannot wait to try this - i have so many napkins that i am now bored with - they can now become something new - thank you - i cannot wait to see these all done and dried and i look forward to see how you convert them into covers!!! xx

I’m glad you had a good Mother’s Day visit. I haven’t seen my family since February. It feels like so much longer. I created a few fabric paper covers from your last video. It was so fun!! Sending you hugs. 😘💜💜🤗

Wow, I am so impressed & what a creative idea... This is brillant & I thank you so much for taking the time to share with us...i will def be giving this a go..... Have a great weekend 🦄

Enjoyed this; great way to use up scraps of napkins, for sure! So glad you had a great Mother's Day! Will enjoy watching the continuation of this!

I love this , Beautiful art! I can't wait to see the results Thank you for sharing.!

Gayle I really appreciate you taking the time to show this, especially when you were so hungry! The paper is going to be Devine! I can't wait to see the finished product!! The Thousand Buddas how I envy that trip, it's on my limited must do tick list! I love watching you it's so nice to hang out with a dear friend and learning is a bonus!! 🐞🕉️🦚🧡🦋💚🌻💙🦢💜🐌💛

Happy Belated Mother's Day! Being with family is so important. I love mindless crafting, as you put it, and this is proving to be amazing! I can't wait to see what you do with it. Cheers!

Oh this looks like so much fun! The fabric is beautiful and I’m still seeing/sewing face mask! Lol happy to hear you were able to visit with your family that’s all the medicine a mom needs sometimes! Looking forward to getting back to some similarity! Have a fantastic day ! Stay safe!

I look forward to trying this sometime! Great way to use the backs of the napkins and all those scraps we end up with!

A MASTERPIECE IT IS !!!! Absolutely beautiful at this point!!!! GREAT ARTISTRY GAYLE, THANK YOU FOR THE JOY,!!!

Looks fabulous! Definitely will give this a try.

Looking forward to seeing the finished cover. Love this!!!!😃

I get to see part of my family this Saturday. And the rest in June. I'll be glad to see them. I can't wait to see these whem they dry

Your day with you family sounds so great! I long for the day I can see my family and grandchildren. We are still in lockdown in Illinois and it’s really starting to get to me after 2 months. Everybody’s videos have really gotten me through this time, so thank you.

So nice the you had a nice Mothers Day visit. It lifts your spirits when you see family. I used to love doing fabric paper. They look fabulous. Hugs

What a fun project Gayle. i can't wait until I see the final products tomorrow. I bet they are going to feel so good to the touch. I am so happy to hear all your great stories and the precious time you spent with your family. Hope your knee is feeling better by now.

Wow lovely cover. Nice to hear that you had the chance to spend some time with your family. So glad for you. Be well! 💜

Excited to see how it turns out! I can't believe it's been two years since your shoulder surgery, goodness time flies when you're watching Gayle/crafting videos! 😉 I could find that vid, but alas...anticipation will be fun too and worth the wait. Like your new watch I must say!

Thanks Gayle ~always interesting to watch you creating🎶

Hi Gayle, this was a cool technique to watch never seen anything like it before. I eager to see the end result. Can you show us the gratitude journal cover also would love to see. So intrigued by this now. Thanks for sharing 👍

We need normal.. we need normal more than ever,and we all need to be able to do things that feel normal and enjoyable but still safe. Sounds like you had a really good time :) Love watching you craft cause i can sit and craft with you or usually i fussy cut while watching and listening :) i was new at journaling and paper crafting about 3 yrs ago and i have learned alot from you and i cant thank you enough.. mixed media and making journals is not normal in norway -everyone is just making cards lol ;) there are some odd balls like myself but mostly we go to american ,canadian and english youtube videos and i love yours. Big hug from a sub in norway

I wish I could like a video twice! Watched this again today and I made 5. I can’t wait to see what they look like when they are dry. Going to play with canvas next. Thanks for all the inspiration!

Hi Gayle, very Happy Mother's day to you full a sweet and great memories to share. Look great those collages and l will be waiting to see what are you planning to create with all of them. Be safe, calm, healthy and happy is always so nice to listen your laughs and stories.

Wonderful journal cover! I don't think I have seen this done on fabric. I will give it a go. Excited to see part 2! Cool hearing about your games with family💕hugs

A great idea, Gayle! Thanks for this! :)

Sounds like your Mother's Day was so much fun and just what you needed...so happy for you!!!! This project is new to me and looks really fun!!!! I can't wait to see it once it is dry and how you use it!!!!! I had to laugh at you saying the white parts might be good to save as TP if you run out!!!!! I've said the same thing, lol!!!! What weird times indeed!!!!! Another fun, relaxing and (feeling NORMAL) hour or so spent with Gayle.....thanks for being there for us!!!! Love you lots, and lots of hugs!!!

I really want to try this now!!!!! How much fun is that. The first one!!!!!! I love it. Can’t wait to see it dry. See you tomorrow! Have a great (Ful) day!!!!

That is so funny about the backs of the napkins...I did the same thing! I told my son, look what I did today.. I made toilet paper. Thank goodness we didn’t have to use it! I really enjoyed watching you work on this and I had a lot of laughs...thanks for spending time with us Gayle...we so appreciate it!

I love it cant wait to see what you up to!

You had me laughing over the white napkins being saved for toilet paper!! That cover is just beautiful too. I love it!

wow this turned out soo pretty!! I love this method. I may have to try this next time I want to use a fabric cover. Thank you for sharing! HUGS

Another great technique. Looking forward to see the finished covers

That is so pretty!

How wonderful that you were able to visit with at least some of the family! You sound so happy now. Lately I could hear the stress of you missing them....and more-so, the lack of “normal.” Ping pong is a favorite for me as well, as we grew up with a table in our basement as well. With two older brothers and living in western New York, it was a great way to spend winters. When my hubby and I married, way before the times of the internet, we lived in Germany (he was in the Army), and we played lots of pool and ping pong on Sunday after church. I’m totally loving the covers. 😊. I look forward to seeing where they go from here! You were breaking my heart covering the butterflies at first, but then you bright them back in the end!!! Butterflies are my favorite. 🦋🦋🦋🦋 I think I will have to give this a go! 🤗🐾🐾🐶. Napkin backs - I’ve got a zillion of them! Ohhh, id love to see the Buddha place! So many things (and people) I’d love to see in Montana!

Awesome you got to spend time with family that is really sweet. I'm glad you re-visited this fabric paper because it reminded me I wanted to try it and I do remember watching you make it before after your surgery. I hope you knee is okay it no fun having a sore knee, I had surgery on my left knee years ago I damaged its doing aerobics class and that hurt. Now walking is enough for me, lol Take care & thanks for the video.

You are not the only one who thought that about the napkins....my hubs asked "why are you tearing down the napkins??" I told him...top layer for crafts, bottom layer for napkins, center layer for T.P.🤣🤣🤣💜💜💜

I can not wait to make this! When I finish what I am working on this will be my next cover. I did a journal pouch that I decoupaged on a paper lunch bag and that made for a wonderfully leather like texture, I imagine this is just as wonderful. You have been on my mind quite a bit outside of crafting, Sunday (Mother's Day) my great nephew had his first communion in the Helena Cathedral. We watched the live stream, I had forgotten how beautiful all of the stain glass is. Then last night on our after dinner walk we came across 2 bunnies, we used to see them in our yard but our neighbor now has 3 dogs and the bunnies have moved ;-{ Enjoyed this one, can't wait to see more! TFS

LOL I was yelling "NO NO STOP STOP!" LOL my husband thinks i'm crazy. I was so glad you heard me. lol I"m so glad you got to see your family. I still cant go out. Thank God for facetime. This cover is gorgeous!!! Hugs, treen

I love this idea. I can't wait to try it.

It was so nice to hear that you got to see your family and I got so excited for a moment when I thought you were coming to Idaho, I would come meet you.Thanks for crafting with me today Gayle. Hugs, Amy;)

So glad you had a good visit with your family! Hopefully it won't be too much longer before more frequent visits are possible. This is a very interesting technique. I understand why but was still surprised at the number of layers. After the first few of the patterned ones, I thought it was pretty and probably would have stopped but you just pasted right on over it and then some! And it came out just great - as you knew it would. Amazing!

Loving these especially the fabric. Tfs x

The fabric paper is beautiful! I'm watching the "Last Dance" also. It's great.

I can't wait to see you use it!

This is a new idea for me. I'm curious to see tomorrow's video and see what you no this for. Really pretty.

I love that idea it came out beautiful xoxoxo

Watching for a second time and saving the video this time. Just watched Ronda make her version of these. You both are awesome!!

This was very relaxing to watching you mod podge napkins down on fabric. Glad you got to see the kids. HELFUL HINT: ⭐️ The holder of your plastic wrap (all dispenser holders) have tabs on each end so you can push them in to anchor the role of plastic, aluminum or what ever you’re using. Just thought that might help. Thank you for sharing 🤗

I did this back in my mixed media days but we didn't use napkins, just all kinds of paper! Can't wait to see how yours turn out! xo

Great minds think alike... i told my hubby "i ber u glad i brought all those napkins now no where has loo roll,hey" lol... great idea again xxx

Cant wait to see what it looks like finished hugs sara

Sounds like you had a great Mother’s Day. My children and grandchildren came over and we stood outside apart and really talked for hours. We are still shelter in place here. But there is nothing like seeing each other face to face even 6 ft apart. My grandchildren are 13 1/2 and 11 so they have changed a bit but not as much if they were younger.

LOL Gayle, saving the white backs of the napkins for toilet paper made me giggle through the whole video! 😂 Priceless! 👌 Isn't it just great to do something "normal" again? I get all emotional about "normal" things these days. So good to hear you had a wonderful visit with your kids and grandkids 👏 💕 Can't wait to see the result of all the napkin layering on the fabric!

i went back and saw the video 2 years ago ! ) i loved it, your awesome! Love your videos i watch you daily! i'm so inspired I lived in Bozeman Montana when i was 4. was sick the whole time and had my toncils out. ) I'll be 54 in November :) thats beautiful i can't wait to do that i have pleanty of modge podge i have a gallon jug of it and a few small ones. but need more napkins and fabric.

Love ur commentary while u do ur projects.

When I went to my daughter's yesterday for the first time since February, I actually got a little anxious. I hated feeling like that, I guess it will take time to feel normal again. I seriously did not want this video to end! I remember when your arm was in the sling, i wanted to go thru the screen and help you!

What a cool idea to use up scraps!!!!

I’m looking forward to trying this. I have everything but the napkins, so gotta get some of those.

I like the way the napkins just melt into the others. Curious to see the finished cover. I am so happy for you to have a wonderful Mothers Day. Cheers....

You have beautiful napkins. My parents had a ping-pong table in the basement at one house. It is a fun game.

Looks like fun. I may have to try this

This was great! Thank you for sharing honey! xoxo

Ohhhhhhhhhhh! I love the big flowers on the muslin too. Ok, I think I might be losing it. Everytime you dip the big brush in the watered down mod podge, it sounds like a kid slurping on a straw. Yep, I might have been quarantined just a little too long. lol. Have fun! Hugs, treen

I can’t get beyond the first couple of layers....there so pretty..and you cover them up .....

I just found you and am loving watching you. Keep up the amazing job.

Hey, you could use the colored part of the napkins as TP, too. Then you would have a beautifully colored bum. We need to ring every bit of fun out of this quarantine as possible - LOL!

Oh My Gosh Gayle... I love this!!! I. Not sure if I saw your first video, but this wasn’t totally new to me. Having said that... I had totally forgotten about it lol. I feel like you are on my head sometimes hahaha. Either similar thought processes or you hear when I have a need to use up scraps and suddenly you are offering genius ideas to do so. I have some tissue paper scraps I’ve been holding onto. I had no idea why... until now. This is perfect👏🏻!!! I don’t have a huge supply of napkins but I think I have enough to use for the layers (I like them - but I’m not in love with them) and I may use some digital paper printed on tissue for my top layers. I’ve been looking for the ideal cover for an Art Journal, and I really wanted something fabric. I think this is ideal. The fabric will be protected by the mod podge. Exactly what I’ve been waiting for. Yayyy!!! Thank you so much for sharing... you are so inspiring!!! Big hugs, Sharon 🌷💜

Picking up the Mod Podge and drinking it, would be something I would do, lol. Glad you had a nice Mother's Day. Stay safe.

I HAVE to try this! I have seen a few different ways of making fabric papers but i've never seen anyone do it like this before (although about 15 mins into watching you do it, I did vaguely remember you doing it shortly after I first started watching your channel lol) Happy belated Mother's Day (ours in the UK was back in March) so happy you got to spend the day with some of your grandbabies and other family members too 😍 I can't wait to be able to see ours again. The youngest turns 1 on Saturday and it's upsetting knowing we won't be able to spend the day with him, but thankfully he's too young to understand!! xx

This has really put the spotlight on the downside of only using cloth napkins! I can see the purchase of copious paper napkins in my future!!

Really enjoyed today's video, loved seeing the napkins melt into one another. Picturing a santa cover

Oh WOW! That is so gorgeous and looks like it would be very relaxing and fun. I’m looking forward to see how they look dried tomorrow. I’m so glad you and Mr A had a great visit with the kids...even Jimmy Joe! I have to share, my daughter and her family came over on Mother’s Day and brought me lunch. It was wonderful weather which was good because we had planned on sitting on my deck so we could keep our distance. I sat on one side of the deck and the four of them sat 10 ft away but I had an absolutely great time. My son-in-law is a Captain in San Diego Police Dept so he is out and among the public daily so we can’t have any close contact. Even your talking about ping pong brought back such wonderful memories for me. My late husband was quite the ping pong player an my kids grew up trying to beat dad at a game. I’m sorry for going on and on but you really struck a chord with me today. Thanks for your wonderful visits with your subbies and for the wonderful projects you bring us.

Catching up on your videos, I don’t like to fall behind. I used matt modge podge on craft wrapping paper with dragon flies on it, found it at the thrift store a few months ago; came from TJMaxx..great buy and made a cover out if it, feels leathery like you said. This one I will give it a try, I need to make more covers. Every time I think I’m done with a journal, more ideas are shown...which I love. 👍🌸🌸🌸

Fantastic idea...never thought to stick napkins to fabric 🤗

I am going to make one. This is so awesome.🥰🥰

Love this! Thanks for sharing!

This is so interesting. Curious to see how it turns out. I will also check out Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist.
