Pro Tip! Put parchment inside the bag anyways...or do a test area. My bag was obviously not as thick as the one in the video and I had to scrape cardboard out from the inside because the glue bled through the bag 😢

[@JoanMarieDomino]

My canvas bags were pretty thick unlike the zipper cosmetic bags from my other video. Parchment paper is a must with thin fabric. Sorry this happened to you😘 Joan

[@amandajones6481]

Dear Joan Marie, I've just decoupaged an old wooden tray that I stripped the paint off and then repainted in white. I used the iron method with Mod Podge and, at first, it looked great, but then when I sealed the tray with more Mod Podge, my decoupage paper went wrinkly and it looked awful!! Now that it's dried it looks better, but there are still bubbles and wrinkles in the paper. Should I iron the paper again with the baking paper in between the iron and the decoupage paper, because I'm really not sure what to do and I don't want to throw out the tray because it took me a while to do the project and I'd hate to lose it. Thanks for any advice you can give me. Love from Amanda Jones in Melbourne, Australia ❤️ P.S. I love your channel and the project you did with the canvas bag and the napkins. They look gorgeous and I'm definitely going to try making some as gifts, and to use myself.

[@JoanMarieDomino]

Hi Amanda! Yes you can try the iron-on on top again and it should smooth out at least some of the wrinkles. Don’t put Mod Podge on top but go right to a spray sealant. Very light coats letting time to dry between each coat. Joan 🙂

[@sandrahovencamp6475]

I really like this idea. I have the bags and now I would like to know what size those lemon napkins are. Enjoy your videos bc you are very precise. Thank you for all you do.

[@JoanMarieDomino]

They are the smaller size, I believe 9 x 9

[@LorIsis1708]

Excellent tutorial. Can i ask if you have to do anything with the extra glue you added around the napkin area…would you see that ?

[@JoanMarieDomino]

It’s just as you see in the video and really depends on skill level and following the directions. There may be a little around the edge, keep in mind that this is NAPKIN DECOUPAGE not vinyl.

[@dianeseverin2529]

Is there any way to decoupage on the polyester bags with company logos on them? There are so many of them floating around. I see people trying to give them away on Buy Nothing groups, but there are no takers. I’m sure they end up in the landfill.

[@JoanMarieDomino]

Maybe a piece of fabric on top of the logo or covering the entire front. You could sew it on. I’m not sure Mod Podge would hold fabric into something made in polyester- Joan

[@kimszalay2626]

What setting are you using on the iron?

[@JoanMarieDomino]

The highest setting

[@theresebecker7550]

Do the totes and any fabrics you are attaching need prewashed? And will this method work putting fabric onto a tote rather than a napkin? I want to cut up a tea towel to put on a tote.

[@JoanMarieDomino]

I did not pre-wash the tote. Washing first is a good idea if you decoupage an item that will get soiled. You can put fabric to fabric, that is the original purpose of this formula. Works great with fabric just remember to read the label on the container before starting a project. Have fun! - Joan

[@lindsaydrozek4999]

Help! my napkin didn't adhere in the center. The edges did so I can't lift it up. Lots of bubbles in the center. can I fix this? I did the cosmetic bags and they worked great!

[@JoanMarieDomino]

Hi Lindsay! I don’t know why you got all the bubbles in the middle. Not enough glue? Too much glue? Glue was still wet? Didn’t iron enough? Did you iron from the center out? If you did the edges first then the middle of the napkin will have air under it snd cause bubbles. You can try to iron it again and maybe it will lay flat.

[@normacmckay-morris3268]

Hi Joan l love your videos , l just came across it on your smaller canvas bag l see that you removed the baking of the napkin ! And on the tote bag did you remove it also Or not ? And can you put on your regular clothes ?

Hi Joan,,, just did my 1st bag... just ordered the matte finish,, HL here had the satin varnish,,, tried on a small piece but it was too shiny... My bags are not white but beige color and I ordered some napkins from Amazon... did the torn method, but it still shows the outline of it... may have to do some kind of blending method... will use these bags up before getting more... My question is how would I blend in the edges of napkins and what step should I do in... also once the duraclear matte varnish is on .. do I let it cure.. What to sell these bags.... I wash them.. thanks for the great videos... hope this make sense.

[@JoanMarieDomino]

Use white napkins on white bags if you want to tear the edge. Or do one entire panel of the napkin as I did in the video. Allow as much time as possible for DuraClear to cure. I don’t machine wash the bags but you can follow the instructions on the Fabric MP bottle. I don’t sell them so I can’t help you there. Thanks for watching!

Hi Joan. I’m so happy to have found your channel. You have some great tutorials and I can’t wait to binge a few! I’d love to decoupage some tote bags I bought from Land’s End but not sure they would work. They don’t lay down flat like your bag does. If you Google “Small Natural Open Top Long Handle Canvas Tote Bag” from Land’s End, you’ll see the one I’d be working with. Do you think this technique would work on this bag and what, if any, modifications would I need to do in the process since it’s not flat. I don’t want to mess them up since they are a little pricey (I’ve had them for years so I didn’t pay the current price, thankfully!) but I have about 10 to do. Thanks for your great tips.
