Christmas Crafts: YoYo Garland and Book Ornament

It seems this video uploaded in a lower quality than I usually publish. I'm sorry if the quality isn't very good. I'm making sure it doesn't happen again. In this video, I'm turning some vintage yoyos into a garland and finishing a book ornament I started in 2018. (Thank you for the idea, Rafaela!)

A Rant and a Giveaway - Making a Scrappy Soft-Spine Journal
Beautiful just beautiful and cud they be a cover for a journal?or for what else just curious,,I don’t sew that’s y I’m asking lol
They are just gorgeous
What are those fabric collage bigger pieces for ?how do they go on a journal?
So do you have to purchase a certain journal or you can just do it yourself with any journal? I've never heard of this I love it. I want to do it with my daughter.
i meant just be you
What book do you have on slow stitching?
I love your work…so inspiring
Thank you for the tutorial, amazing binding.
You talk to much😴😞😏
Harikasınız, dis kaplamayi nasıl yaptığınızı anlattınız mi acaba varmi video
These are perfect for diamond painting too for drill storage
How did you repair the broken binding? Mine just broke and I don't know what to do :(
Hi Melanie, I miss your stories and your journaling pages. Hope you're doing well. ❤
Are you sure, 3 euro for one printable sheet?
Thank you so much for these three tutorials. You certainly have given me the confidence to give it a go. I love how you explain everything in a relaxed way that comes so naturally. ❤
❤❤❤LOVE THESE❤❤❤🎉
I know this is an old video, BUT I LOVE YOUR STYLE OF SHOWING THE PROCESS!!! I Hope you are still making videos!!!
Melanie I love the final result of your Wreckit journal, you’re so creative. I’d love to see how you do the original Kerri smith one. It really tests your artistic side. Xxxxxxxx
Do you have a video on how you make your covers shiny?
Hi Maggie. I use Liquitex Gloss Varnish. It's mostly used to varnish acrylic paintings and can be found with the painting mediums and paints. It's a milky white color in the bottle, but it dries completely clear. Apply it liberally and don't worry about brush strokes as it will level itself out as it dries if you have enough on the surface. I hope that helps!
Great idea!
Come back Malanie!🫂 miss hearing your story and journal pages
You seem well supplied for all sorts of fun pursuits! And so organized
Looks fabulous
Fabulous, book ordered. Another UK collage artist is Emily Schofield (Art with Em), she uses the same technique as Clover Robin, along with coloured pencils.
Miss you Melanie and your stories. Come back 😊😢
Super, i so enjoyed that, such beautiful art. Well done. How do you make them digital to upload to Etsy? do you scan or photograph them please?
I was wondering what to do with the boring covers. I love this idea! Thanks for sharing!
❤❤❤
Your sewing room is heaven!
I could Never look at all that visual clutter daily I would pass out, not a place to rest your eyes 👀 yikes!
What size needle do you use when sewing to the comp book?
In general, you should choose your needle size based on the thread you're using. Heavier threads will perform better using a larger (thicker) needle since the hole made by the needle is larger and the eye of the needle will accommodate the thread without abrasion causing the thread to fray or split. If I'm using all purpose sewing thread, I typically use a size 80/12 needle on paper. If you're using a heavy duty thread or thread with a larger diameter, I'd use a size 90/14 or larger needle. Using a needle larger than required by your thread will rarely cause problems, but using a needle too small for your thread will almost always give you trouble. Hope that helps!
New subscriber here. Since it looks like you are no longer making videos, I will just have to rewatch4 what's been made. So inspired by your creativity and art. But, I wish you well.
Ive been cheking your account every month i really hope tou will come back your videos are my inspiration ❤
There are ( or there shouldn’t be) any sewing room police just like there are no quilt police! To each her own! Love your space. I have maybe half that much area but it’s jammed full of much loved stuff!!
Dang! I wish to see you post more 😢 so satisfying!!
Help! I'm new at this and recently purchased my first bunch of beads. They came in a little box, each in it's own compartment. I can't work out of this because they get mixed up, so I purchased one of your organizers from Amazon. Problem - how do I transfer the beads from the original box to the new ones? I can't just dump them because all of the beads would fall out. What do I do?
You could paint it with some kind of polyurethane product and make it waterproof.
Do you want pictures of ussr or yugoslavia on your journal
Wow, so many great ideas. Thank you.
I agree with the other comments that you not listen to others. Focus on the ones that loved your book, for you are very creative. If I could make a suggestion, slow your hands down. This is my first time watching you, and the video appears to be hurried vs. relaxing. I wish I were as creative as you.
Awesome video Thanks so much!! I am going to do this right now!!
Everything you said on your video was exactly what happened to me and I’m so happy that I stumbled on this and I am thrilled that there’s a different way to do this and I thank you so much. I was just laughing at myself so hard every time you took another container out, I have thrown all those other containers out and started to go back to bags which is annoying so now I’m gonna try this. Thank you so much.
I have replaced almost all of my organizers with these. I use the foam sheet they're packed with as a beading pad on the upside down lid for designing.
I'd call this more Colourful Fabric Stitched Journal cover rather than paper gift bag....
These are wonderful! I wonder if you've adhered transparency film to the covers in other ways. I love what you're done, but don't have a sewing machine. Any advice?
Checking in again, another year gone, wish you would do videos again but I imagine you are too busy gaming. lol. I have been deep into Hogwarts Legacy so I completely understand. Your videos are so inspiring. Glad I have them to watch.
I had never seen a sewing room like this. You have so much stuff. 😮
I love your sewing things!!
A china rail would work.
