I am decoupaging a poster to furniture in this video. I find posters are a lot different than other types of thinner paper. This method has worked great for me!
Great question. I did spray the laquer first - I have found by putting a light coat of lacquer followed by the clear coat - it keeps my paper from puckering. Since it’s more of a poster type paper than decoupage paper, it takes a little extra to make sure it stays adhered to my piece. I feel the lacquer by itself does not offer enough protection and wanted something more durable.

Thank you so much.
Wish me luck on my first attempt at making a piece of wall art using what I learned from you today.❤
So happy I could help! Let me know if you have any questions. ❤
so easy and informational! thank you for this!
You’re welcome! 😊
Looks great 👍
Thank you! Much appreciated!!
Was there a reason why you chose to add the water based clear coat over the lacquer, which offers good protection?

Would it be ok to use iron if base project is a plastic chair instead of a table???
I believe the iron on method would be too hot for the chair. Sorry for the delay - my notifications were not coming through.
do you take orders to do this if all the materials are sent to you?
That might be a possibility. Where are u located?
I live in southern California but I'm willing to mail the frame & the poster to you
I tried your method & I know it's super easy but I completely screwed it up
@@VIVANOEL oh no. Let me know if I can help.
@@VIVANOEL are you talking about a picture and kitchen cabinet type of frame to hang or a table top?
Unfortunately my poster melted and it was ruined :(
Is this common? It must have had a coating … which seems a common poster trait
Hi Josephine - I have not had any posters melt. Did you put the parchment paper down first and make sure it was not wax paper?
@@davisroaddesigns7231 yes, used the right paper… maybe my iron was too hot ?
That could be - I just haven’t had that happen yet. Thank you for your comment, I now know that can happen
