[@deidercorby3043]

Looks fabulous. Love your videos, the way you talk and explain things. Really terrific 😍

[@timeheals8]

Made this on pillow boxes to put little gifts in. So much fun. Lovely idea on the pot and the idea of the towel. Beautiful!

[@barbaracole4314]

I really enjoy doing it, have done it on many different items besides pottery... it's not as easy as it looks on utube, takes a little practice, I started with tin cans amd empty jars.

[@porkchop8542]

Thanks Aster, I’m going to do this to an old soup Tauren with plate and ladle. Beautiful pot

[@pamelabrown1797]

Just lovely Astar 😍 I love these old fashion crafts XX

[@healingathome8471]

I am so excited to do this. What a fun project! I love the florals.

[@AstarsPlace]

Pamela, it's addictive and beyond fun. You are going to so L O V E it. The possibilities are endless and the best part - once you get tired of it, simply wash off to remove. A good hot soapy soak and you can peel it off and start again. Marvelous. Kind regards Astar

[@patriciaingraldi4719]

I love your style. Your dressed lovely and thank you for your inspirational tutorials U.S.

[@FloridaManVal]

I'm going to do this with pressed flowers, beautiful!

[@justinwhite6787]

What a lovely idea!!! I think you may want to overcoat that? Just to protect the dried flowers a bit more?

[@heidismith2391]

I love this technique for the planters I plant to cover. Thank you for being so detailed.

[@cecilemorgan6579]

Love you Astar, and your work!

[@ginad3655]

This is such a wonderful idea - the pots look beautiful! I will give this a try - thanks for the lesson :)

[@AstarsPlace]

My pleasure Gina, I'm so pleased I was placed in a hard corner not knowing where to find the right container for my peonies because this is so cost effective and such a fun project. Best part, when you don't like it, it comes off easily with a bit of soaking. Take care Astar

[@mariaelenasantiago3313]

Simply beautiful

[@sleeplessinthecarolinas8118]

Thanks for sharing your technique. The result is gorgeous!

[@deelee1070]

I would have liked to see the bouquet inside the finished pot.

[@southernsass2937]

Absolutely Gorgeous! 💗 I love creating decoupage projects. TFS 💙

[@southernsass2937]

I never cut, always rip. Makes a huge difference.

[@henriettahenson]

That is so stunning can you use magazine cuttings.. or has it just got to be napkins.???

[@LovkynaPeral]

Of course you can do it so too 🤗.great project 👍

[@AstarsPlace]

Hi there Henrietta, you can use anything to decoupage. I've used fabric, leaves, sheet 🎼 its endless. However for this particular project, I want the visual but not the texture. Enjoy crafting, Astar

[@henriettahenson]

@@AstarsPlace Thankyou 👍❤️🌈

[@AstarsPlace]

@Thelma Pirnie hello, yes you can. I love the paper napkins because they are a bit thinner and you don't see the joins. Warm regards Astsr

[@chloecat1st]

Love it! So beautiful

[@Fittrendz]

❤ can this be put outside in the rain? What’s best to weather proof this technique?

[@AstarsPlace]

Hi there, not really suitable for the great outdoors. However, if it is placed out of the harsh elements under cover - like a porch it will be fine. However, it's important to protect with several good coats of sealing vanish. Hope this helps. Kind regards Astar

[@jeanettelawless2374]

Beautiful idea. Thanks. Xxx

[@msbrigitte3449]

I have to add my little comment and I am coming from a very beginner perspective, so please don’t attack me everyone if you find my comment incorrect. With a clay pot, you have to seal the inside entirely all around the drain hole the bottom inside the inside sides all the way up so that if you put anything with water or to have potting soil in the pot and you’re going to water whatever plant is in there please remember that with a terra-cotta pot that the moisture goes through the entirety of the clay. What does this mean? moisture is going to affect the outside design very possibly maybe not in all cases, but it could potentially. I did work on the clay pot. I have not sealed the inside, and the outer design was completely destroyed. Are used an acrylic paint to paint the inside and then I sealed it with a varnish. Now here’s another very important note! If you seal your terra-cotta or clay, pot or container on the inside, with some sort of varnish, varnishes are usually always flammable. So you’re not going to put your clay pot into the oven after you varnish it! Do not put any container into the oven if you have used a flammable, varnish, or paint! Read the label! If you need to seal your outside painted surface by warming it in an oven, do that first and when you’re all done, then once it has cooled down entirely then, and only then can you varnish/seal the inside with something to put a barrier between moisture/water

[@DANDHRA]

Pretty!

[@tiffanysplace2150]

thanks much for your work

[@lindaj713]

Love this!

[@roswanitamohdshariff4130]

How you prepare the ceramic pot? Do you put gesso or white paint first?

[@AstarsPlace]

Hello, best to paint the pot first. I just use a white undercoat. Depending on coverage, one coat should do it. Hope this helps Astar

[@cherriebrown8677]

How well do they last on an outside porch or steps?

[@carlastizzani6945]

Hi 👋 the first coat was white paint?

[@ruthhevia9217]

WOWWWWW GENIALLLLL BEATIFUL THANKS

[@tierneylogan5943]

I enjoy crafting videos so much more with a lovely British accent 😊

[@lindaed3594]

Sounds New Zealand Kiwi accent to me😊and l love it!

[@LovkynaPeral]

Good Job 👍🤗

[@Sharperthanu1]

You should try doing decoy page with laserfoil

[@AstarsPlace]

That is a great idea. I'll investigate immediately. Thank you for the tip. Kind regards Astar

[@cherri7206]

Can you put it out side? If water can wash it off is that still possible

[@AstarsPlace]

Hello Cherri, I so want to say YES PUT IT OUTSIDE, but unless you apply a really good couple of layers of exterior vanish, it will deteriorate. I've got mine outside but under cover and it's well protected from the elements so my fingers are crossed. I found a beautiful print show-casing mixed spring flowers which took my fancy and will be an amazing display in 6 months time??? I hope 🙏

[@msbrigitte3449]

Don’t forget, ladies and gentlemen, that if you take it extremely really really super super fine sandpaper to get rid of rough glue edges you can do that in between your layers of gluing, unless, of course, you like the roughness I don’t.

[@JaniceKwasnicki]

How about FABRIC No napkins.

[@AstarsPlace]

Fabric is great, but the transfer with the napkins gives a seamless end result. Warm regards Astar

[@juliaxoxo6020]

Serviette?!

[@AstarsPlace]

Hi Julia, printed paper napkins.

[@jafallica]

It’s called DAYCOPODGE!

[@kelcal6697]

IF you use spray paint-DON’T put in OVEN!!!! It ruined all 3 of my pots!!!! 😡

[@XjtBA]

What happened to your pots that they were ruined?
