I am so glad to see you here, Patti. Lots of people are offering instructions for decoupage that aren’t researched as well as they ought to be. This is my first sighting of you in a long while! I’ve missed you; maybe my notifications aren’t set right. They’re a little hi-tech for me still. - Louise
Your video is by far the best that I've seen and I think I've watched them all. Your the only one that suggested the DecoArt Napkin Glue, the Triple Gloss Finish and the craft iron. After watching your video, It makes sense to use these tools which I have ordered on Amazon and received. The other great tip you gave was using the oven. I'm planning on doing 4 4x4 ceramic tiles with napkins so I'm really glad I hung in there until I found your video. Thanks for doing all the research for us.
I have been doing decoupage for nearly 40 years and I still have trouble from time to time with wrinkles in my napkins. The water method is not for me. I tried it a few times without success. This method looks a lot easier and I will definitely be giving it a try. Thanks so much for sharing your creativity and knowledge.. its a great help!!!🙏
Love the shells will give the oven a go too have some stained shells this will revive them: thanks. seems like I need to do more ironing HERE too! Thanks for your advice.
Hi Deidra, this is the napkin I was talking about the bluebird that you decoupage on the birdhouse. I would love to know how I can go about buying those napkins. Thank you in advance, Dawn.
Hi Patty my name is Linda and this is my first time seeing your video. I just absolutely love the bird and the napkin was so gorgeous. did you have to put a sealer or varnish or anything on it to go outside??? I want to put it in my garden .❤❤❤thank you 😊
hello /Suraya, I think you are wondering if you can make the mug washable? I have used the dishwasher safe decoupage glues but they tend to last for a little less than a year then begin to peel. I will say this, I found a new decoupage glue that is to be used on ceramics, so I can try to do that going forward and make a video for it. :)
New subscriber here. Can you consider a video about choosing napkins for projects? I have a lot of napkins with beautiful flowers but smaller flowers. I get stuck knowing where to use them.
To clarify, what temperature setting do you recommend for ironing the decoupage paper? I assume you are reheating the base layers of decoupage glue that you had originally put down, thereby securing the napkin to the surface. You are then going over that with a top coat, correct?
you can use the highest setting on your iron, but make sure you use the parchment paper. I do normally put a top coat over my items, in this case if this was going outside I would have used spar varnish since it protects your work from the elements.
Hi Patty, question: I notice that you use chalk paint to decoupage over. Chalk paint is water based, as well as Decoupage glue is water based. How come you can decoupage over chalk paint onto a water based paint and it is not affected? TY
You would have problems if the paint was oil based and you decoupaged over it, since oil dries through a chemical process and water based paints and mediums dry through evaporation of the water in it. :) Since both products are water based, they play well together. ;)
On the birdhouse I made, I followed instructions on another video, which was a coat of paint, let that dry, then a thin layer of the MP on the edge of the birdhouse, then apply the napkin to the edge where the MP is. Then, smooth the napkin out across the surface and out a layer of MP on top of the napkin because it will soak through to the wood. Everything was fine but there was a lot of crinkling and wrinkles I couldn’t get out. Do you think it’s from the MP?
What about making our own at home with glue and water!? Does it matter what type of glue?🙋❤️🔥❤️🔥👋👋. Hope you had a great and blessed holiday! Have a great and wonderful New Year!🙋❤️🔥🙏🙏☺️👋👋
I was wondering too. I asked Elmer's glue. I keep seeing school glue. They said use Their Glue-all so I ordered a whole gallon. Now I don't know! Lol.? I did use Glue-all in the 70s. I didn't have a problem but I didn't use napkins either. Patti?
Hi Tammy, I used to make this at home Decoupage glue with a matte clear wallpaper glue and it was amazing! The wallpaper glue isn't made anymore. What you can do is use a matte gel medium and a little distilled water to make a nice napkin decoupage glue. :) Both the matte gel and the distilled water are acid free so your work will not turn an oxidized faded yellow over time.. :)
@@patioelf thank you! Just really hard for me to get out anymore. So I try to work with what I have on hand at home. I've moved to a Live in care giver for a older gentleman that has Alzheimer's. He just turned 99 last month. It's been very busy for me. So I try to get has much art work in as I can! 🤷🤦😂☺️🙋❤️🔥🙏🕊️👋👋

Hi Deidra, this is the napkin I was talking about the bluebird that you decoupage on the birdhouse. I would love to know how I can go about buying those napkins. Thank you in advance, Dawn.
I bought that napkin from "which craft do you do" a while back. Not sure if they still have it.
Hi! How do you keep brushes that you use to apply mod podge with, soft? Mine all harden even if I wash them right away. Thanks for answering ❤
Gorgeous
Thank you. This turned out so pretty. Thank you for the tips 🐦🦋 Happy New Year...
thank you for the beautiful napkin art.🥰
Thank you for the tips. Love the bird house.
Thank you Patti
You bet!
Hi Patty my name is Linda and this is my first time seeing your video. I just absolutely love the bird and the napkin was so gorgeous. did you have to put a sealer or varnish or anything on it to go outside??? I want to put it in my garden .❤❤❤thank you 😊
Helpful video. Thank you ❤
I'd love it if you could provide a list with all the steps. Also, I did not see how you sanded off the extra napkin sides
Get a nail file and sand them off carefully.
Great tips. Thank you. I like doing seashells, and this was very helpful!
You are so welcome!
Beautiful!!! where did you get the gorgeous napkins?
I sure would like to know too!
Hello Patti...can you show how to decoupage on a mug...n what to use on the mug..thank you

Where can I get the napkins you used?

I just saw her DIY Bling eyeglass case decoupage. Gorgeous could suit your flower paper
We’re did you find that tools?

Love your work ❤️ there are 3 layers in napkin .. .. are you suppose to take out only 1 layer ? Pl reply

Hey patty
Can you use any kind of napkin?
My piece is too big to put in the oven or use the heat iron. Can you use a heat gun (blower)?
Do you have a special oven. Or do you use your Cooking oven ?? Chemicals ..vapor doesnt affect our air ??
Hi Patty, question: I notice that you use chalk paint to decoupage over. Chalk paint is water based, as well as Decoupage glue is water based. How come you can decoupage over chalk paint onto a water based paint and it is not affected? TY

Cuz napkin got wet is why it wrinkles. If you let mod podge dry then iron no wrinkles I've done it
@@RainorShine1 so put the mod Podge on and iron it after it dries??

@@BettyKCreations_Nashville I've found that some things that I've used if it's a off brand! Don't work so well!🤷🤦😂☺️🙋❤️🔥
where do you get the birdhouses?
craft stores, Hobby Lobby or Michaels in particular :)
You can also pick them up at garage sales.
Girl, you need a fill on those nails. Very distracting.
I can’t get past it and I hate that!
