Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator
Thank you for visiting my blog, I really do appreciate it. This week as part of my Junk Journal series I am making my own vellum! I watched a youtube video showing this ages ago and decided to have a go myself. As often happens I cannot actually find the video I saw so just had to go from memory! This is not always reliable as I have a shocking memory and I watch a lot of youtube just before I go to sleep! Anyway I obviously remembered well because these turned out pretty good, even if I do say so myself!
Measurements & Materials
- Paper! Any paper you would like to make into faux vellum
- I used an Artymaze free printable which I printed on ordinary printer paper 90gsm
- I also tried it with one of my own scanned collage sheets again printed on printer paper
- I think it works best with thinner paper
- I also used a vintage dictionary page, a paper napkin and a paper doily
- I also needed
- An iron
- A tea light candle
- A grater
- Grease proof paper
- I placed the paper I wished to turn into vellum on a sheet of grease proof paper
- I grated the candle over the paper, just a small covering
- I then put another sheet of greaseproof paper on top of this
- I then ironed it so the wax melted
- I repeated this until all the paper was covered
- You can see the paper become transparent
- You do not want to add to much because you don't want it to be too greasy
- Then I decided to make some pockets and tags with the velum I had made
You can see how I made this in the tutorial :-)
