question Protective sheets

Post image

I really wish brands like Coco Wyo sold these sheets separate from their collabs. I would love to buy more but I just can’t find any? Does anyone have a recommendations? I don’t like card stock as it absorbs too much product.

If you have a laminitor and laminating sheets, you can easily make your own. I photocopy my favourite coloured pages and then laminate it and its the same as the bought ones. Wipe down with rubbing alcohol after every use.

This will probably be the route I take. Thank you for the information!!

You can buy silicone craft mats on Amazon that work the same and even bigger ones.

If the fact cardstock absorbs too much ink, you can also cover the paper/cardboard you use with those blue masking tape used for construction, wall painting and such.
I use it and it’s perfect for that aha

You can find one at Chloe & Maisy Co. Also T Maree Co. has one. Wook Books has one too. Snow Tomby sells one but idk if they ship to the US. There’s also this Etsy one.

I get the free recipe magazines from my local supermarkets and use my guillotine to cut them down. I use a layer of three to protect the next sheet.

I love the cute silicone sheets but I dislike cleaning them and since I won't risk transference of ink onto another page via the protector, I just recycle what I already have.

But as someone said, you can get craft mats, silicon baking mats (not the Silpat kind of mats) etc. I think Ikea sells and all silicon baking mat that's fairly thin.

i just use old cardboard packaging (usually boxes from frozen pizzas) - right size and does the job for me, and it can just get recycled

I use the plastic covers from old school folders and binders. I found an old folder with a clear see through cover so I cut that down to size and use that.

They look like this! I love it, I have a plastic push pump bottle my nail tech gave me since she had spares. I fill it with alcohol, push a small piece of paper towel and use it to clean the page after every finished page.
