Your wood video came at a PERFECT time because I just invested in tools that I really have NO IDEA HOW TO USE (hence probably shouldn’t really use) so I can pretend to be a real crafter and stop paying dollar tree for a scrap piece of wood.

    *And* I'm enjoying decoupage a LOT more than I ever did statistics (enough about that misguided adventure into higher education).

I was going to try your sponge method but first tried the one where you apply a lot of glue, let it dry then use an iron once applying the napkin. It worked so good! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I’ve never used the glue stick (that ain’t decoupaging, that’s gluing paper🤣) because I think it’s an insult to mod podge, (I’m loyal) 🤣🤣 I kid, do what ya want.

    Brandi, this video is wonderful!!! Lots of great info! I absolutely love decoupaging and mod podge is what I use. However, despite my “experience” (lol), I’ve learned a lot from watching how you do it. That dry sponge thing is a gift from above. It makes a huge difference! The only time a sponge has been more useful has been when used as a contraceptive. 🤣🤣🤣 I’m kidding, don’t block me please lol!
    I remember the first time I tried mod podging. I asked a crafty coworker how much I should use and she suggested the same amount as when doing paper mache. Can you imagine??? Girl, I was covered in mod podge…my paper was practically a soggy ball of wrinkly disintegration…and my mood was quite poor indeed. 😂😂😂 She must have hated me and I didn’t even know it. 😝
    Thanks for the tips and tricks! Sending all kinds of love and happy thoughts! 🌼🍃💛

      Ginger my daughter came in and said, oh my this is so pretty. I said mhmm.. she said did you make this
      ..I said it's not done, she said she loved it!!
      Lol I got such a chuckle from it because I wanna do something to it to make it looked more finished, but she feels it's beautiful just like that💜 Let me know how your DIY turns out!!!

    Brandi, this is such a wonderful decoupage video !!!👍👍I'm getting a sponge tomorrow! Last year 3 of us got together & took wooden words( blessed. gather , etc.) & decoupaged them, then lit the extra paper with a lighter, which burned right up to the exact edge of the letters!!They turned out soo good! It worked! Use with tissue paper & napkins on wood ONLY!!! We had a Lil wine & tried scrapbook paper , we almost started a 🔥! Kept a bucket of water close by then !!..ha ha Thanks for all the tips & tricks!!! Great job!! Be safe & TFS, my talented friend ❤!!

      Thank you Connie! I am so happy I could help with new information....Oh yes, This is what I was saying in the video about a burn method for removing the extra napkin. I looked into that and its just not my cup of tea. I burned a few napkins on some furniture for a vintage farmhouse look and those bits get a little braisen and sometimes fly where ever...lol This is THE DIY STRUGGLE....lol I do not need EXTRA help trying to burn my DIY's down I almost do that enough...lol.. It is totally a cool concept and I appreciate the people who have mentioned it, it is just not for me...lol That is awesome you and your friends get together and do that. Mine all think it is my job to cook for them when we gather..lol

      Glad you enjoyed it Judith! I tried writing some stuff down. I hate reading from a paper. It sounds so forced in the two spots I did that in the video, but I did not want to for get anything...lol I had to joke myself about it. All the fun gets take out of my voice...lol

    This is great! Still more to watch. I'm SO glad you mentioned fading! My recent project with mod podge and fabric faded my fabric. Ugh!

    • @thediystruggle
      @thediystruggle  2 года назад +1

      Yes it deff can. The more medium you use the more it soaks up the fabric, or paper or napkin and changes the consistency of it.
      That's why I like to use small application! Let it dry and then go over it with thin coats. It helps keep the color!
