Easy DIY Wax Vellum Napkins & Washi

This experiment has been on my bucket list for a long time and as I have been playing catch up due to computer issues as of late and decluttering at the same time I moved it to the top of the list. What I have wanted to do is find an easy way to make washi that is very similar to washi minus the tape part and I have also wanted to see if I could wax vellum napkins. This does both.  More reinforcement tips on the blog post. I hate this camera or editor, that was not the zoom distance I set, every week it's like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get..... issue resolved soon, going camera shopping again. Sorry to make you sea sick but I re-arrange the cords shortly in so hang in there.

Reinforcement tips you might try:

Glue stick a single white ply to the back but you might lose some translucency. 

You might try a clear matte medium on the back side of the napkin, for an envelope or a pocket it won’t matter, it will preserve transparency. You will gain strength and durability. I'll demonstrate next video.

Just use as a transparent background by gluing to other translucent paper like tracing paper, glassine, wax paper or cereal bags which don’t have color.
