How to transform brown paper packaging into collage papers for your junk journal

I made papers a few yrs ago using my large and small butterfly stamps on distress ink backgrounds

All were great ideas! Thank you 😊 The last piece, was by far my most favorite!! I love love love how it turned out!

I really enjoyed this!😊

So practical to use the brown paper. It turned out very stunning! Thanks for sharing.

Just now found you and loved this video...then I subscribed. Thank you!

Love this video!

Cool, some parts of these ideas would be fun as a little project to play with in front of the evening tv viewing! 😁

I've been holding on to my brown paper packaging for some time now. Thank you for giving me some really great ideas as to what I can do with them.

Beautiful❤

So many fabulous creative ideas to try. Thank you so much ,Meg, for the inspiration! x

What a terrific turorial! I too like to use paper bags!! I'll have to get a jelly plate! TYFS

Yay! Just found your channel!! I’ve been saving all this paper & now you’ve given me great ideas!! Thank you!!!

Could you do a video using this in a journal cover, please?

I never heard of jelly printing ?

Thank you for sharing, I never thought of doing this. Wow 😮

Lastly, I always just turned the Amazon paper bags inside out, so that the unprinted side was on the outside, and then used them as gift wrapping. I then only got creative with the gift tags. Thanks to you, I now have a few more ideas. Thank you!

Mega hoarder of brown papers! Thanks for the great ideas!

Great ideas and video! Thank you.

Great ideas !!!

I love your creations! So pretty and creative❤

Such cool ideas, thank you Meg. Yes I do save the packaging as well.

To get the light back ground with the design was it 2 different times you pressed the brown paper down or the 1st time …. It was quick but I would like bit of advice on this one… but it was very nice … loved it.

So you painted over a block and then pressed the paper down on it and lifted it up…. What is the liquid you use to do this “jelly print”. Is it regular acrylic paint??

What kind of tool did you use to put the dark leaf patterns on each side… and did it come in the paint you used to draw it… what is the company name of the dark paint and the tool you used…it looked like a eye dropper for putting drops in ones eye… was it a mini brush of some kind.. I really liked this one… very good ideas that anyone can use and I will use them..

Love brown paper bags

REally wonderful ideas here. I can't believe how good you are at free-hand "drawing" with that dauber, too. Thanks and you have a new subscriber.

wonderful ideas dear 💖

Just discovering this art form, and I’m fascinated!

Very cool!!!

Wow 😮 these are such great ideas!!! I always feel guilty throwing this kind of stuff away. The final
Collage piece is my favorite!

❤ Wonderful ideas!!!..I love to fold then stain brown paper with some with coffee, tea, and sumi ink❤..TFS 🤗

My favourite paper to use! I love brown paper. x

Amazing!!!!!❤❤❤❤😅

How do you know when to stop when doing a collage page? I always keep adding and can’t get to the “that’s perfect so let me stop here” it’s more like “ok that was probably too much” instead! 😂😂 yours always look PERFECT - I’m even currently using Amazon packaging trying to channel you and this page you’re doing! Love your journals, your channel and most importantly - you. Thank you for posting so much bc it literally makes my day!

💜💜💜

I always keep brown packaging too, it's so pretty! 🥰

Free craft supplies!!!! I've been collecting this Kraft packaging for years (sadly had to just throw some away I had so much😂). Was trying to figure out how to dye it, as tea and coffee doesn't show up and you don't always want to do the food coloring. You've expanded my horizons, TY!!!!!! I also collect the Amazon Kraft mailers and use them as journal covers by covering them in collage fabric or paper! SO glad I'm not alone in collecting all kinds of cool free stuff to repurpose and use in my JJ obsession!🥳🎉🎉🎉

Beautiful art and informative demonstration. Thank you for sharing.

Love love this, thanks for sharing Meg. 😊

I use my brown shopping bags as well for brown paper, I open them up and stamp and paint on, and all sorts, I line my splash box with the packet as well, especially when I use sprays and paints ....

My favorite video today. I love using packaging for my paper crafting. TFS
