Hello Iveta! My name is Donna, and I live in Florida, in the USA. I watched this video several times before I actually fort the courage to actually try it. I have never decoupaged before, but I really wanted to try this method. I took it slow, and worked with my napkin as patiently as I could. I can’t believe that I actually did it! I got a round piece of wood from my local dollar store, and painted it black and white. I applied my napkin to the white end of the round.it looks so good! Thank you for sharing this with all of us! I can’t wait to do some fall decor!
Just in case someone is wondering if this works...Aafter receiving my set of coasters from you - I can endorse your application method. My Husband looked at the coasters and said 'Have these been printed on to the coaters'?! That's how good these look. No creases, bubbles or wrinkles at all. Stunning finish xx
Ready enjoyed video,I have bought lot of items and wondered if could be capable of doing it as am chronically sick and be something to focus on thank you really enjoyed the video don't think I'm clever enough though to do it myself
I have done decopauge for over 40 years and I love your technique! You explained it very clearly and easily so even a beginner can do it. Very good video!😻
Of all the different kind of decoupage work I have seen, this is the best method that I have ever seen. A perfect finish. I can't wait to experiment mine now. Thank you.
You can use this same process on large pieces! The trick is in working in sections. My friend and I did an armoire for her daughters wedding present from mum using this technique. We laid it down on it's back to do the front. When that was finished & dry we paid it first on one side then the other to complete the sides. The trick is to work in small sections and piece them together on the project. Like you we added a crackle finish. The end result was spectacular and produced a piece to be treasured for life. It took us 2 full weekends devoted to doing just the decoupaging but so well worth the time. The primary difference was we had to separate the sections we planned to use from the rest of the napkin. We used 3 different pattern napkins. One that was an open vine print, one that had birds and a floral set of napkins that had 4 different large flowers. I've since done a large urn using the same technique as an anniversary gift. The armoire was picked up on the roadside! We'd been searching thrift stores & yard sales for one like it. Great find! The Urn came from a thrift store for $2 us. Ebay is the source for all our napkins. Be a little careful of the really cheap sets from China. They're often so thin whole sections will just dissolve when you get them wet.
Lovely tutorial. I was hosting Christmas dinner this year and was so disappointed how my table looked with my very unchrismassy table mats and coasters, I’m definitely going to do this with festive napkins! Thank you for sharing x
I personally would love to see every step start to finish of not only the napkin application, but the coaster preparation and then the crackle finish and framing. The finished compositions look great!
Hi, thank you for your kind words, I didn’t really think about that at the time to be honest so I now uploaded a video about crackle effect I just uploaded a video on it - ruclips.net/video/0u62GSAJDhs/видео.html 😊 and my next one will be about coasters
Came across your video and decided to watch. I Love decopargeing and not good at it. Love your method, will try when get plastic folder Thanks for sharing
Wonderful! Thank you for your patience-I seem to have none, but your tutorial makes me think maybe I can have a little patience, maybe I just need to slow down. Lovely little bird by the way. Sweet. Thanks again.
I like this technique. It reminds me of how window tinters apply their product to car or building windows. Gonna have to try this method 'cuz I've had some pretty bad decoupage failures in the past and I think this may guide me to success. TFS!
I am new to decoupage and have had several failed attempts until seeing this method!! OMGoodness, first try worked perfect! The most important thing is when spreading it on the page protector to use a soft brush and light easy strokes. I am so happy! Thank you for sharing your talents with us? 💕
I just came across your channel & I'm so glad I did! I always have wrinkles, when applying napkins, but this looks like an easy solution. I can't wait to try it. Tfs. Blessings & Peace
You are brilliant! I messed up three expensive napkins by trying to do as the others did. Then I watched your video, got a cheap napkin and was successful. Yeah, I got a little impatient and messed it up a little bit. Lesson learned. But overall for a first try it was great! You're the champ!
Thank you for this and in one comment they said it was their first time decoupaging. stopped doing it because of the wrinkling. Will need to try this method and get back. Peace Love and Harmony.
I love this method! I really love using napkins for decoupage so it’s great to have this tutorial. Thanks so much for sharing your technique! I subscribed
Thank you so much. I’ve never seen this before so it’s a revelation for me. I really really love 💕 how that coaster turned out so stunning and gorgeous.
I love your tutorial, especially the motif on the napkin. The blue tit was my favorite bird when I lived in Austria. I have not seen one since I moved to the USA (South Dakota) in 1956. I miss them!
Helga Maria Szameit They are lovely! I listen to them everyday, even now in winter. Early in the morning they are the first thing I hear! Sending hugs from Wien!
Thank you! I put a napkin on the back of a clear plate recently and although imperfection is acceptable I would have liked not having wrinkles in the napkin. Once I put on the Modge Podge, it crackled which gave it a little more texture, but I ended up having to paint over the Modge Podge layer with white paint because the napkin itself was too translucent. Painting it made the napkin image stand out more and I'm ok with the result, but will try this method on some coasters next.
I'm about to decoupage a large piece of furniture and am going to try this. Since the glue goes only on top of the napkin, I'm assuming if I screw up that I can immediately take a sponge and wipe it all off and do it again. Also, I guess, because the napkin is wet, that allows the glue to penetrate without having to apply glue to the substrate/surface. Brilliant and thank you for sharing this technique!
You make it so easy 🤩 Some day I'll start with this, and when I Will I have your videos to learn from, you always explane so I get it 😊 They are lovely 🥰💖
By a plastic folder do u mean a document protector? I’m a little confused if the plastic is the type where u can a document (napkin) in between or if the plastic u are using is just a sheet of plastic. Did u purchase it from Amazon? R u in the UK? I was wondering the exact product u r using
You can do this way easier by putting some diluted modge podge down the spritz the napkin or whatever you’re using with a water spray bottle, lay it down then apply MP on top gently. You won’t have all the excess water & it’s faster
@@colleenrochellefarlow4285 you may be able to get them from Pat Catan stores. If not there I would try Joanne Fabrics stores. You can also get them off eBay as plywood blanks or etsy. Best of luck finding them.
This is great!! I do have a question about the napkin adhering to the tile. I do quite a bit of decoupaging on canvas and have to apply the modge podge to the canvas and then apply the napkin. I see that you applied the mp on top of the napkin....what is actually adhering the napkin to the tile since the glue is on top? Just curious...but I am gonna give it a try
This is a great question, and I'd like to know the answer myself. I'm guessing the ModPodge soaks through the napkin due to the napkin being very wet, but I'm not sure.
Hi, yeah, I didn’t really think about it at the time, I just uploaded a video on the crackle effect - ruclips.net/video/0u62GSAJDhs/видео.html 😊 and my next one is going to be on how to make coasters, start to finish ☺️
All you had to do was to put the dry napkin on top over the gesso (pronounced Jesso) while it was still just a little tacky, make sure it's smooth, then when fully dry, slowly brush on matte gel medium or thinned matte ModPodge.
Great tutorial! I’m so new to this deco podge. This is beautiful. I absolutely love bird’s I will be trying this method have you a follow! ❤ this is perfect and beautiful! Thanks for sharing!!❤
Thank you for the wonderful demo. I always thought decoupage was something I just didn't have the skill and patience for--to get just right, that is. This is a real eye-opener. Can't wait to try it!
Hi there, this is awesome & it really seems not too very hard to do at all, it may just take a bit of patience, but I noticed no crackles before you mod podged the done image, so is it the mod podge that caused those crackles, I really like that look, but I hope that'll let me know how this was created, thank you.
OMG why have I only just found this now. Holy moly guacamole!! 😲😲 THIS is an absolute game changer in my book. I’ve never been able to do just straight decoupage without any help. When I say help I mean like I’ve done the decoupage with the cling film, iron & fire. And all do work for me so I can’t complain about them. But sometimes I do get problems with each of them. I can’t wait to try this as I’ve got a lot of coasters to do. The only difference is mine are round. But after watching the video the girl did say this technique will also work on curved/round edges. Fingers crossed it works on a round circle 🤞I actually feel excited to do some decoupage now rather than that dreaded feeling in the pit of your stomach because you know something is going to go wrong lol. Happy decoupaging all 😄
Just found you from another person site, I think Posh Paper Craft. I just subscribed. Hello from Michigan USA. Just loved this technique, I have done it a different way and wasn't able to keep the wrinkles out. Thanks for sharing.
Dear, you saved me and the Christmas. I tried to make cards on wooden surface, and got so pissed off they never became perfect. Then I found you and now they are perfect. THANK YOU❤️ Also, new subscriber 😊
I will try that method of mod podging napkins....I love it! So beautiful! As always thank you for sharing! Stay safe, healthy and positive! GOD bless you and your family! 🙏❤🇺🇸

Thx for review. Austin TX USA
How was the crackle effect done?
Where do I get this kind of coaster. What are they called?
I have done decopauge for over 40 years and I love your technique! You explained it very clearly and easily so even a beginner can do it. Very good video!😻
This video is way too long
@@lindaferguson378 ..and WAY too wordy!
TIP: mute the volume, and put it on 1.5 x speed to get through it.
Question with the white board painted and dried before applying decoupage napkin. Do you need to put a coat of mod podge?
I am starting my 1st decoupage project and definitely going to try this method. Thank you for the instruction
What a lovely voice you have. Excellent tutorial. I appreciate your " realness" and your concern for the environment. Thank you.
Beautiful. When will you show how you did the crackling effect.
STILL the coolest and most efficient method so far!!!! [Great Video!]
I've just started decoupage and was so pleased to find this tutorial. It's massively helpful, thank you!! xx
The BEST wet napkin decoupage tutorial by far! Such a soothing process, thank you ❣️
Of all the different kind of decoupage work I have seen, this is the best method that I have ever seen. A perfect finish. I can't wait to experiment mine now. Thank you.
Brilliant! I love that you can see through the plastic and napkin. Thank you!

I've never done decopage (sp) or had a desire to do it, but I was fascinated by your video and watched the entire thing. Thanks!
Explain the coaster prep more please! Love these little birds! And the crackle? Ooopsie! I found it!
Awww she says, "rinch it out," for "rinse it out." I didn't know anybody but my Texas grandmother said "rinch." Brings back memories. ❤
My mother in law says rinch it out. It’s cute!
Came across your video and decided to watch. I Love decopargeing and not good at it. Love your method, will try when get plastic folder
Thanks for sharing
Loved the tutorial but you made my day when you said wrinch the cloth out. That is the way my mother always said it. Thanks you.

Tried your process with immense success. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Very appreciated
Fascinating and so informative and easy to follow. Would’ve like to see the finishing and when do you apply the crackle glaze???
Hi, there is a tutorial on how to use crackle glaze on my channel and there will be a tutorial on coasters coming next week! ☺️
I tried this technic after I seen your video, with great success. Thank you very much!
Failed the first time I tried this. But I tried again and had great success! This is now my go-to method. Thank you!
I am going to try this. You explained everything very well! Thank you so very much.

This would be very pretty on some thick candles!😍
These are awesome. I've decoupaged napkins before, but not using this method. It's a lot of work, but worth it in the end.

Pretty coasters. Was wondering how u got the cracked look, I like that. Looks authentic.
where did you get the blank coasters at? if you made them how and out of what thanks very much
Decoupage napkins are about $1 EACH! :/
Melisse Clark I think your question was where does she get her COASTERS?
I get my blanks off eBay or Etsy ☺️just search for mdf or plywood coaster blanks
lady that was the best method ive ever seen thank you darling ...
You can do this way easier by putting some diluted modge podge down the spritz the napkin or whatever you’re using with a water spray bottle, lay it down then apply MP on top gently. You won’t have all the excess water & it’s faster
Yeah but you also get wrinkles that way. And when you try to gently brush them out, risk tearing the napkin.
Cool beans! I have to give this method a try when doing smaller pieces of napkins!!
Pretty but you should show using crackling all the way to the end
I agree... Should have shown what you use
12 people agree
@ Can you show us? Please? 🙏

how did you get the line effect in the finished product...

A very different slant on applying napkins definitely going to try this method. Thank you for sharing ...

No es lo mismo, no salen tan bien.
So beautiful and easy method.. much impressed.. share some videos on reverse plate decoupage
I like this very much, clingfilm is not my friend 😁 Thank you
I have worked using this tech today n it gives good results but one needs to be patient n can learn more on own along the way
Lovely it is, can it be done on bottles too?
