Thank you for this simple video- I am a beginner and am looking forward to trying this- the piece you did was pretty, and I appreciate the clear description of how to do this! 🤗💕🎨

[@joanobrien4373]

Pattie good morning. Just want to let u know how much i love and appreciate you. You are so kind. I am 67 years old and retired and I just look forward to seeing all your good work. I have learned a lot from you and thank you so much. Blessings

[@patioelf]

aww, that's very sweet Joan. People like you keep me coming back to youtube to make more videos. Patti

[@heiditantawi9696]

best decoupage explanation so far, I've been cruising around tutorials for days now and yours just makes it all so clear.... THANK YOU and keep going

[@lindadeansmith6947]

Is the technique of applying from the surface to cardstock apply as well? Thank you. Enjoyed the video.

[@sharonolsen3814]

Love your videos! Have you seen the napkin burning technique. I love using that for cleaning up my edges!

[@debterry1007]

Thanks for thinking of us beginners!

it's my pleasure Deb, thanks for taking the time to let me know. Patti

[@graemejaine1578]

[@suzanneparent4619]

Nice video. I have not used decoupaged clue and my project and it looked fabulous. If you are promoting the products that is great 👍 but I think you may have mentioned alternative clues, etc. Beginners may not have access to the higher end products.

[@patioelf]

Thanks Suzanne.

[@carolesolen7638]

Beautiful Work!!! Can a switch plate cover we done with this method & the same products you used?? Or can mod podge be used?? Thank you so much for the video.

[@patioelf]

I avoid MP at all costs, it is too thick and sticky and can leave marks that are impossible to remove. Other than that you can do a switch plate using these steps. :)

[@belgiumgirl8970]

Thank you this is actually a beginners decoupage I could follow!😊

[@donna8212]

Thank you for this decoupage lesson. I’m going to try this with a Christmas napkin ☺️.

Hi Donna and thank you! I love doing decoupage with all of the beautiful Christmas napkins that come out. Patti

[@beckylynn209]

Thank you so much for showing us step by step instructions.. I needed that.. 🤗❤️✌️

[@patriciabrightwell196]

Hi, Patti -- I hope you are feeling much better from your injury -- I've been watching, but not on devices where you can leave a little note. The water carafe with the birds is one of my very all-time favorites !!!! Decoupage and your videos opened my life to crafting when I first discovered your channel all those years ago, and remains one of my favorites, and I incorporate it in so many things -- I hope you and the hubby and all the love bunnies are doing well -- how's the new pup -- big by now, I bet -- hugs, Patricia

[@patioelf]

Hello Patricia! It's so nice to hear from you. Thank you, I keep that carafe with the birdies out year round, sometimes with little lights inside of it and sometimes just in the sun. It's very sweet of you to mention that about crafting and how my channel is one of your favorites. I know how many other channels are out there. There are some amazingly talented people here on youtube aren't there? Hubby is doing very well thank you, and yes the pup is now 50 pounds and life is a party according to her. She brings new happy life into our home. The poodles aren't so excited although the five pound one runs the show. She keeps her in order! LOL. Hugs to you and it's so nice to hear from you! Patti

You got me started doing decoupage what 13ish years ago? Nice to just go back to basics. Love ya and your videos Gf.

[@daughterofzion5903]

Hello, I wanted to ask if I have a canvas could I use podge modge glue? That’s all I have at the moment I have a beautiful napkin And I am dying to try it out but don’t know if podge modge will work.

[@angelahyde7133]

well i use the modge podge and it works very well

[@dusk525]

I checked Facebook for the group she mentioned, Upcycle With Decoupage, but can't seem to find it on there. Has anyone else been able to find it? Did she change the name of the group?

[@dusk525]

Nevermind, I found it. It's on FB as a "Page" not a "Group", in case anyone else has trouble finding it. 😁

[@patioelf]

hello Dusk! I did change the name of it today to Patioelf, thank you for looking for me! :)l I know you helped other people too.

[@pattybrooks1561]

Having trouble figuring out how to get to description box.

[@patioelf]

Hi Patty, I know exactly what you mean. I do this for a living and there are times I can't get to others descriptions boxes. LOL. If you're on your phone, open the video, and you'll see the amount of views and when the video was uploaded and then you'll see the word, "more" click on that and it will take you to it. If you're on the computer it's basically the same process although there are a few more words before the word More. hope this helps! patti

[@fritula6200]

You can show us how to decoupage, but your quality of the prints is what gives beauty and depth to the work.Finding the right supplier is paramount.

[@memagranola]

Love your videos. Makes me want to decoupage everything. Thanks

[@patioelf]

It's my pleasure Kim and wow I know how you feel. As a matter of fact, I DO decoupage everything. LOL Welcome to my channel! Patti

[@sandramalbrough3499]

Nice video. Always enjoy watching your technique. The new varnish you used on the canvas has a nice sheen..so I ordered some and will try it. See you next week COFFEE AND PATTI

[@patioelf]

Hi my friend! I also have my latte just off screen... that varnish is subtle but provides just the right amount of sheen and glimmer! See you on FB! :) Patti

Patti, voice fading out and then volume loud, as coming in closer. Didn't know if you knew..? Nice project; fond of peacocks🦚; colors are so pretty!💚

[@patioelf]

Thanks for telling me that, I'm not sure what happened there! Wow, I'll have to see if there's anything I can do on my end to fix that! Thank you for your compliment too! Patti

[@lisebedard7247]

Love peacocks.....tutorial was amazing.....

[@yougottabekidding7476]

Love your videos! You have a very nice way of explaining the correct procedures for projects. I am going to try the decoupage on large clamshells. Maybe starting on the underside smooth surface. Then I'll try doing the top that has more curves. Any ideas or tips would be welcome!

[@patioelf]

Hello and thank you! Actually I'll send you a video here for that. Shells are one of my absolute favorite decoupage projects! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hX66nKyQrZt6msk Patti

[@lorrainechambers8203]

Thank you ,so much for that easy technique. Much better and quicker than the old way of Decoupage. Cheers Lorraine

[@patioelf]

Hi Lorraine and thank you. I agree. I remember years ago using paper which was ok but they always advised adding 15 coats or more of varnish while doing a light sanding in between each layer. That wasn't fun... Patti

[@angelikawalsh6006]

Loved how you did this. Can you use the same method on a tile for a coaster?

[@lyricwritertoo]

Thanks so much for this step by step.

[@deladyakarobin4777]

I just ran across this video today, I make ceramic tiles with napkins and I'm going to try your method of brushing. thank you.

[@craftinglady]

Patti, it is great that you do beginner's videos. When I started decoupage some years ago, my hubby told me: Why do you wanna do that? This is soooo old and outdated. But (newly) crafters are still excited by it and that proves him wrong. And he loves how most of my projects turn out :-P Thank you for encouraging fellow-craftersto try and shared your pretty projects with us

[@patioelf]

Hello! This is excellent feedback and I know just what you mean. My husband was the same way in the past and he know see's so many of my finished projects and asks, "Wow! Did you do that?" It's a very nice feeling isn't it? Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me this, it really makes my day! Patti

[@craftinglady]

Omg when I decoupaged my first glass plate with yellow roses, he asked me: Where does this plate come from? I told him: Remember the round glass plate? This is my doing. From that moment on, he encouraged me to keep on designing :-) So glad someone else shares this experience,

[@patioelf]

I'm with you! Once I showed my husband how things could look, he encouraged me to make what we have look nice rather than buying so many new things. LOL thanks Crafting Lady! patti

[@cierrablue]

Thank you! I needed this. :) My only question is: Where do you find such beautiful and unique napkins?

[@debterry1007]

If you are in the US look at the store Tuesday Morning. I find alot there.

[@patioelf]

Hi Cierrablue! Thank you too! There are links in the description box that take you right to some pretty napkins. 😉 Patti

[@michelecutler2963]

I bought awesome napkins from Ninnys Napkins on Etsy.

[@CC-lq3ie]

enjoyed that thanks! 😊 question? ..do just one coat of varnish?

[@dawnruhl8405]

Not sure what Patti does, but I normally just do one coat.

[@carolthomas8743]

Great info. I decopauged years ago. I've got a table I need to do. Tfs.

[@annegredler5364]

What kind of decoupage glue can you use in place of the Americana brand? I have searched high and low for that stuff and EVERYONE is sold out or the product is no longer available. I think they have discontinued it and if it is this impossible to find, I think you need to let your viewers know what we can use as an alternative.

[@dawnmason5077]

I live in a small town and so there is not a craft store. I did find Martha Stewart Chalk Paint. Is that brand OK? I have those same napkins to try to decoupage for the first time. I’ve watched so many of your videos. Love them all and you have a new subscriber.

The peacocks stopped me in my tracks!! 💓💞😍 Thanks bunches for sharing. Prayers for good health & longevity.

[@smeetu2000]

Hi I like ur video...just need to ask ,Did you used the same technique for this red napkin on canvas...? I mean no glue on bottom , just from top of the napkin.

[@joanobrien4373]

[@patioelf]

Hi Juju, I think Mod Podge makes a napkin decoupage glue, and you sure can use that. Thanks for stopping by ! Patti

[@jujulagessegaljewelery5667]

patioelf thank u very much

[@joanobrien4373]

Patti is it possible that u can do a video on how to do decoupage pictures on a cup that can be used in a dishwasher. Thank u

[@patioelf]

Hello Joan! You would need to use a dishwasher safe decoupage glue, and the one I used to use is no longer made. The only one I know of is the one made by Mod Podge which I don't like. It didn't last in the dishwasher. I do have a video for dishes I made that were dishwasher safe and I'll show you the link to that, you can follow the same instructions but I suspect that the reason the other companies stopped making a dishwasher safe one was because they really only last for a few months. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKbImYOEgLqJq9E. They used to last a lot longer but I'm not sure if the formula changed? I hope this video helps! Patti

[@keristevenson2757]

You could try coating the item in resin... just a thought. Good luck!

[@eleonoralanfredi7324]

Grazie del tutorial...io ho sempre dei problemi con le pieghe che si formano nel tovagliolo😭forse dipende dalla colla che uso? Grazie e tantissimi saluti dall'Italia 😘

Your envelopes are just lovely (love the large, blue one with the ink stains) and what an easy, sweet technique! Great way to reuse book text papers and paper scraps. The envelopes can be used for so many things. I don't like the Washi Tape adhesive either. TFS your great idea!

[@terriejohnston8801]

( sorry 4 the long text) The Napkins are gorgeous... which i have really never searched for or seen like yours. However, wanted to try some decoupage w tissue paper knowing it applies nicely. I will use colored magazine swotches, cloth or any paper that will add some accent. Depends on WHAT theme or mood you're into. It's late in PA.🌖⭐ Have alot of idea's at the drawng board. Tomorrow awaits. SO many idea's!!! Here's one; Take a small branch that has fallen. Let it dry out inside ur place if real wet. I love to take my pocket knife..scrape off SOME bark...leaving SOME on. Grab some medium or fine sandpaper. Smooth it out. Remove any dusty residue. Coat the bare wood w homeade modpodge . While still wet @ stucky..APPLY Ur rustic, outdoor magazine or book pics.carefully aroound the stick. Gently tap it down. It Will stick well. Let it set a couple hrs..or less. Add another coat for a final lovely finish. And there you have a cool piece of "deco-wood sculpture" to lay against a shelf, or place in a houseplant for an awesome look! I love them. Next...😁decoupage on a Canning Jar w overlapped colourful Tissue Paper. Looks cozy beautiful w a votive or fake flickering candle inside, reflecting the pretty shades of torn tissue paper GN. Im whooped!!
