Super fun idea. I've always wondered what I should do with the newspapers I've collected. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much! I’m happy it gave you some inspiration. Have fun, and thanks for watching!~Kathy xo
This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much

Thank you so much, Barbara! They were fun to make. Thanks for watching and for your lovely comment! ~Kathy xo
What a fab idea, I've used newspaper images before but never thought to seal them like that. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks so much, Mimsie, I’m so glad you liked it! Thank you for watching!! ~Kathy xo
That’s a great collection ! ❤️
Thank you! And thanks so much for watching! ~Kathy xo
Super interesting! Never thought about using wax paper to seal. I bet this will work with newpaper print type magazine images like Workbasket! Thanks for sharing!
You’re so welcome, I’m happy you liked it! I use the wax paper seal method on a lot of my projects. I love the texture of it. Thanks so much for watching, and have fun trying this out! Happy crafting! ~Kathy xo
That is so cool! Reminds me of project in school that I used wax paper. I had forgotten. Photocopy and use in projects.
I’m so glad you found this project, Karen! I’ve used up most of the old newspapers I had so now I need to be on the lookout for more. Thanks so much for watching! ~Kathy xo

@@karenmilligan3590 what a nice memory! 😊 ~Kathy xo
Also, I've never tried using wax paper on collage. In some of my old art journals I would take a plain paraffin tea-lite candles, rub them on the finished page, melt it with my heat embossing gun, and buff it with a junk cloth. Your method seems much easier! Love how you tinted some of those images! That tag is beautiful! I'm a new subscriber just watching this one video! Love it!
Thank you so much, Lori! I hope you’ll give the wax paper method a try. Just do be careful not to leave the iron on too long, though, or you’ll be picking tiny bits of the waxed paper off with tweezers. Trust me on this one, lol! Thank you for watching and for subscribing!! ~Kathy xo
Cute idea! TFS the inspiration!
Thanks, Gail! And thanks for watching! ~Kathy xo
Love the wax paper technique! Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks so much! Just remember, “press and check” so you don’t have to use tweezers to pull off a gazillion tiny bits of stuck-on wax paper. Ask me how i know, lol! Thanks for watching! ~Kathy xo
Found this video while looking up how to use newsprint paper (the art kind for doing charcoal drawings) in a journal. I haven't used my dymo labler years! I've got to pull it out and use it! 2 minutes later you pull out newsprint paper, LOL 🤣😂😅
Hi, Lori! Somewhere along the line I acquired a gigantic pad of newsprint. I used to have a pad that size years ago when taking an art class and I used it for pen and ink drawings. How great that you found my video! Thank you so much for watching! ~Kathy xo
Hi Kathy. Now I know what I can do with my newspaper! And about that Dymo and Fabritac, last night I was looking for my paper doilies, and I couldn't read my labels 🤷. Now I know why! So thanks for that tip😊. Love the tags and cards, beautiful as always 💜💜💜
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it, and you’re welcome for the tip about the labels. Thanks for watching! ~Kathy xo
Kathy, I thank you for showing us the wax paper technique. I am going to try that tomorrow.. Where did you find all those old papers? I love them. Thanks again.
You’re very welcome, Teresa! I use that technique quite a bit on old paper. I found all those old newspapers at an estate sale in a box with a bunch of other cool old newspapers. Thank you so much for watching! ~Kathy xo
I did not see any difference after the wax paper went over .if it is to seal,why not just use a clear sealer?
Hi Jan. The wax paper gives it a smoother feel, and a bit more strength than a clear sealer. It’s hard to pick up on camera, but if you try it you’ll see what I mean. Thanks for the question, and for watching! ~Kathy xo
