This iron - on method of decoupage is the absolute BEST WAY to apply your paper. I would never do it any other way now. I just finished decoupaging an old wooden tray and I ironed the paper down onto the base of the tray, and then I cut away the excess paper with an exacto knife. I still use Mod Podge but I let it dry first before ironing on the paper. Love from Amanda in Australia
Hi everyone,,just letting you know what this lady is saying is all true and i mean every word,,i had purchased a bottle of ultra grip yesterday and tried it out and im super impressed on the result,,this stuff is so easy to use with above average results,,,mod podge doesnt even come close,,,thankyou to this lady
Robert! I am absolutely thrilled that you've had such success with this method. I agree, I was disappointed with the finish I was getting with Mod Podge. Your comment has brought such a smile to me face. THANK YOU! ~Kristy
It is really great to know that the Fusion ultra grip works as well as Mod Podge for an alternate product. I too have been using Mod Podge with this same technique on flat surfaces with the same results...you just need to let the Mod Podge dry completely before ironing on the decorative paper protecting it with parchment paper....no wrinkles!!
WoW! I watched this and my head about exploded :-D I want to decoupage everything! Soo much opportunity to work in art . I have limited wall space and tons of stuff I'd like to display... now I can remedy that
Finally, the world has figured out how to add a paper and seal it! Smoke em if you've got em! ) Good demo. Any glue-all or mod podge works with the parchment paper-iron, for anyone who is on a serious budget like me or not in Canada. Shipping would make it over the top in costs.
Just learned how to print onto white tissue paper with an inkjet printer from you tube! Want to print some of my daughters' amazing art work to do this on plaques!
Good to know ultra grip works like this. I have been using the iron method with modpodge for years. Another option to clean the edges is using an emery board.
@@dee6075, I tried both and found I got the best results with Fusion's Ultra Grip as it's pure acrylic emulsion and that's why it sticks so well. I prefer to use it dry as it's easier to apply tissue, napkins and such on dry without them wrinkling and/or tearing. However, you can apply them wet as well. Happy Painting!
Super helpful info! I just ordered 13 sheets of decoupage paper a few days ago and have never applied decoupage paper before, so I'm very excited to try this. I'd love to start doing decoupage without all the hassle of the wrinkling and other problems when using other techniques. Thank you!
Upon unboxing, I was immediately upset at how the rails were very noticeably bent. But I kept going, all tools needed to assemble were included ruclips.net/user/postUgkxqtX4Dxs6aecAZEuz6GY5-d81YecKCshn and I had it set up in about 30 minutes. Honestly I love this thing, make sure to read the measurements and measure your space so you know if it'll work for you. I bought this to put inside my closet, underneath where I hang my clothes and it is absolutely perfect! It is VERY sturdy and all drawers glide easily and mine are stuffed, and they are still flush when closed.
I was lucky enough to learn this I call Iron method, from a very creative woman, 3-4 years ago, and it works magics. You can do wrapping paper and posters over dresser, too. Just another tip, the surface should be painted white before glue (any glue, mod podge, school + water glue is fine, too, other water based sealers)... Glue will dry clear, but colored surface will distort the paper, if thin enough
OMG I can't wait to try this! I've decoupaged before but never loved it cause not able to get all the wrinkles out without tearing the paper. Thank you for this great method!
I think decoupage is normally done with one sided paper. If there is printing on both sides, I think the printing on the back would show through. You could experiment with a newer magazine page (so you're not destroying a vintage page) and a piece of scrap wood to see how it turns out.
This is entirely what I've been looking for - both the product and the tutorial. I found a retailer near me that sells the Fusion adhesive and paint. Thank you!
Great tutorial and the only decoupage video I've seen so far on youtube with a presenter that knows how to pronounce Mod Podge! (It's not Modge Podge nor is it Mahge Pahge, both of which I've heard often!) Anyway...lovely results with this particular product also. Thank you!😃
Cool. I worked out that ironing over parchment worked to remove initial crinkles and bubbles, purely by accident but now i know what was used as a base and to allow it to dry, thats it all made clear now, i wasnt leaving the base to dry, and was using modge bodge for the base/glue and seal, with ironing in between and in the end and it was working but took much longer than necessary so thanks for this info x
I am SO GLAD I found this! I'm already working on an idea for Christmas presents for my five siblings, a total newbie, when I realized I want to do decoupage -- not just shellacking, which is what I thought (been many years since I've done anything like this). Definitely going to check out the Fusion products, and saved this vid for future reference. Thanks again!
I ordered Jefree Stars concealer and it came with tissue paper of all of his gorgeous gorgeous tattoos! I'm decoupageing a jewelry box with it! Its GB going to be a very nice piece!♡♡♡
Anne , I watched a video about the iron method. The lady’s mom taught her to decoupage in the 70’s using an iron I found it enjoyable. I am 65 and crafting but I never thought to iron it. I used this to make bunnies and I love it
Thanks for the video! I just found out about decoupage while looking for a way to decorate my dresser. I was looking at lame doilie's and such stuff when I just landed on the page for some beautiful cocktail napkins. I looked at other's comments and they were talking about decoupage! I think this year for Christmas I'm going to get all kinds of nice gift boxes and decoupage them so they are decorative, but more sustainable. Our family loves to reuse gift boxes, but the paper year in and year out is such a waste. We switched to real fabric ribbon many years ago and we try not to destroy our tissue paper (but now I'm thinking if there's a better alternative to that). For my mom's bday this year I just got some bright colorful gift boxes with the most adorable ribbons... we will be able to reuse those for a while because I didn't put anything on them and just them shut with some ribbon. Also, how much easier is it to just put things in boxes and tie them up instead of having to wrap everything? And honestly, you can only use so many bags if you want a pretty display under your tree.
WHEN ADDING TO DRAWERS- I ADD TISSUE OR CARDSTOCK AND USE FOAM CORE CUT TO DRAWER SIZE- USE 2 DIFFERENT PATTERNS- SO IT CAN BE DIFFERENT ON BOTH SIDES
Loved this video, thank you...love Cambridge ONT too, I'm a Torontonian living in UK. We don't see Fusion here, but Frenchic paints do a finishing coat, to waterproof and protect the paint or use with decoupage. I wonder if it will iron with the greaseproof paper,,,as it's called here. I'm chalk painting all my old one furniture and want to decoupage on some of the pieces, so will try this with scrapbook paper. ❤️🍁
Can I use plain old computer paper for decoupage?. I am a complete novice at this but have some images on paper I want to use on painted cans. Please help 😐
Thank you so much for sharing this technique. Does it work with rice paper decoupage? Im working on a flat surface coffee table. I also would like to apply to stained Wood unpainted-any suggestions for that? Thank you
We're really glad you enjoyed the video. Here is a link to all of our retailers. Hopefully you can find one close to you....if not, many of us offer shipping.
What a great video! I love listening to you talk. I think I detect a bit of Canada. I am buying an old double wide and will be doing a lot of upgrade and refurb. I am looking for ways to spruce up the old flat laminate cabinets. I think I will do some favorite images and use this method. I hope it works! :)
How do u iron the tissue on a draw front verticle if the the glue is dry & then u have to hold both parchment paper & tissue underneath whislt trying to iron over the top holdinf them up veticle without burning yourself it seems hazardos to me. I am planning on doind a fridge freezer this would be differcult using this method.
I’m confused. I just want to put flowers cut from napkins on small areas of a table top. Do I apply the fusion coating on the whole top or just the areas I want the flowers to adhere? What if some of the fusion coating isn’t covered by the tissue does it show?
Hi. I used wallpaper, quite thick, then went over with modge podge to protect the top, it bubbled more, then I tried to iron it and it was sticking to the Parchment paper. I ended up taking it all off should i off keft it?. Can you advise before I do it again.

When you let if dry, do you mean for 12 hours or just until dry to the touch?

@@leighmichel5553 did you leave the modpodge to dry first. How you do it pls. Thanks

How do you do it with surfaces that are not flat?
Been doing this with Mod Podge for a ages 👍🏽
Ursula O'Brien - hi! when you do this with mod podge do you use it the same way? Two thin coats, let dry, and iron on medium heat?
Good question!?! I was wondering the samething.
Do you put the mod podge over the top also?
I tried this with Mod Podge and it was hit or miss as to how well it worked. Using the Ultra Grip has worked the best every single time.
@@peggyk123 , you should seal whatever you end up using. So yes, if you like using Mod Podge then seal with that.
Can you use this technique on a cabinet surface that cannot be laid down? I would be applying it onto the surface vertically. Will it drip?
Yes you can.
Does the fusion top coat yellows over time?
No. It's non-yellowing. :)
No it doesn’t.
what about a piece that is not flat? such as a vase, bowl etc?
