DIY Decoupage Christmas Cards onto Bottles

[@photoxityforever9503]

Thanks for sharing your tutorial. I didn't miss all the chit-chat that is on so many others. I have cards and knew they were to thick to decoupage. You helped me solve the problem. Thanks again.

[@glosprit]

Patty I love your work. I have your book. You are such an inspiration. Please continue to share your talent. The videos in which you comment & talk us through are especially helpful...don't stop talking us through your projects!

[@marychrambanis3504]

Wow Patti, what a work of art! Your finished piece looks spectacular with all the sparkle and shimmer. I love the way you painted the snowflakes. Brilliant idea on how to use some of those beautiful cards we don't want throw away or leave in a box.

+mary chrambanis Thank you Mary, you are a girl after my own heart with the sparkle. The video clip I added in the description? That woman painted them on her arms and they were beautiful! I was having a hard time looking through the tiny lense of the camera as I was applying the first snowflake so I'm happy it came out ok. Don't you just get some of the most beautiful cards sometimes? I don't want to throw them away so I wanted to find a way to reuse them. :) Patti

[@janicebradford6231]

Oops never mind. I found your video and will be ordering your book. I went ahead and put the cards in water and then thought I’d better go check your videos. Since I first found your videos. I have been devouphahing everything. Thanks so much for your tutorialsJanice

[@annacaddell7849]

I learned something new today. Thank you so much for the tutorial. The bottle is a beautiful piece of art. Have a great day and God's Blessings.

[@patioelf]

Thank you Go Sprit! I would also much rather talk on my videos than use subtitles. I had so many problems with the video and editing! Wow-I was almost in tears a few times. Thank you so much for your kind words!!! (and for purchasing my book) Patti

[@tiaimchen3906]

[@deezie78]

Good Morning Patti,What a gorgeous bottle!!! I love any craft that I can include a bottle. Love bottles. Your snowflakes are so pretty and I love all the glitter you use. I am a glitter gal, I can never have too much glitter. See you next week Patti, I really enjoyed this videohave a great day and weekenddeezie

[@patioelf]

+Deneen Lotz Deezie I really do think you and I were seperated at birth! I would cover everything in glitter if I could. Thank you so much Deezie-you must be experiencing some of the beautiful fall leaves out there right? Patti

[@deezie78]

+Deneen Lotz Patti, my husband has been known to find glitter in his food :) Not on purpose of course. The leaves here are just gorgeous, I just made a garland over my kitchen window with some of the leaves. So pretty, how I love fall. You have the same weather as I do so your leaves are pretty too thenEnjoy this gorgeous weekend*deezie

[@patioelf]

Thank you Deezie, I'm laughing over your husband finding glitter in his food. Sometimes when we're out a friend will ask my husband, "Do you have glitter in your hair?" I always get "The look" but we do laugh about it. We spent some time out in those leaves yesterday walking along the Delaware, and the tow path. I'll be posting pictures to my FB page today-my personal one-but first, I have to begin this week's project. Enjoy your day! Patti

[@vickiemurray388]

Patti, this is so beautiful! I love the snowflakes. Thanks, for tips you gave in this tutorial. You alway coming up with some awesome tutorials. Tfs. Hugs, Vicki 🎃

[@michellestaunton2264]

I love watching your videos and the music is always great!

[@patioelf]

+michelle staunton Thank you Michelle. I get a kick out that music too-it's provided by Imac in the Imovie editing program. I wish I knew who I was listening to. :) Patti

[@GGW889]

I love this bottle project. I think I have all the materials to try it. Thanks for sharing. I'm a new subscriber. Can't wait to see more! :)

[@patioelf]

+GRIMESWIFE2 Welcome to my channel & thank you for subscribing! Don't you love it when you already have what you need? I add new video's every Thursday before noon EST in the USA-so you'll be seeing a new one from me tomorrow! Patti

[@margaretmachinena5626]

Absolutely stunning!

[@mbuehler74]

that was a really cool project! thanks for sharing it :)

[@marybirder5663]

Wondering if I could use a wooden skewer or toothpick to paint on the snowflakes.....many thanks for posting your vids!

[@patioelf]

+mary birder That sounds like a great idea, if you experiment with either one of the two of those I would love to know how you made out. Thanks Mary! Patti

[@jenniferstokes65]

Thank you.

[@melindatellez9867]

Very pretty ❤

[@carolynmcgregor9573]

If I start now I'll have some ready for next Christmas. Can I ask is the oven temperature centigrade or Fahrenheit, could make a difference.

[@patioelf]

+Carolyn McGregor We are here in the United States and I always forget the video's are seen world wide. Especially in the UK/our oven temps are Fahrenheit. I have to remember to say that--- Thanks Carolyn. And have fun! Patti

[@carolynmcgregor9573]

Thank you, I will convert F to C.

[@patioelf]

😃

[@IrmaPereira]

Beautiful love it! Did you use the hairspray or spray adhesive on tulle so glitter stick?

[@patioelf]

+Irma Pereira-Rivera The spray adhesive. LOL/what a mess. The hairspray worked great originally ( and I use the hardcore stuff that glues your hair into place) then the glitter flaked off onto my dogs and cats. :) The spray adhesive was perfect though. Thank you Irma! Patti

[@StanleyFamily10]

wow you are amazing I hope I can do something near as good as you

[@patioelf]

+Kiara Stanley That's very sweet of you Kiara! I'm sure that once you get the hang of this you will be feeling very proud of your work in no time-I'm here if you have any questions. Patti

[@StanleyFamily10]

Thank you very much

[@patioelf]

:)

[@janicebradford6231]

Help. I am trying to get to your website about decoupage using cards. Someone gave me a couple of cards with the Effiel tower. I have to get it right din e it’s just two cards. Thanks Janice

[@doggies3211]

Love your work!!!! It is sooooooooo inspiring to me! :) What kind of glue did you use with the white paint? thanks Sparkle on!!! lol One can never have to much!!!!!

[@patioelf]

+Maria Rizzo hello Maria and Thank you! I agree with you about the sparkle...I would add it to everything. I used Martha Stewart's glue -her clear glue- although any clear drying craft glue will work. Thanks again Maria! Patti

[@doggies3211]

Thank-you,,,,,, Watching this mornings project... Your knowledge is AMAZING!

[@patioelf]

This is the first message I'm reading this morning and Maria-what a great way to start my day! Thank you! Patti

[@cynthiadelvalle3437]

Gorgeous!

[@cfdkitten]

Great idea...so pretty. :)

[@patioelf]

+cfdkitten Thank you! Patti

[@Maggiesplace48]

love this

[@patioelf]

+Magz 3 Thank you Magz! Patti

[@michellestaunton2264]

Can I paint or decoupage a formica coffee table?

[@patioelf]

+michelle staunton Yes, it would be a very good idea to use chalk paint over the formica first. You may want to use two coats. Then you can follow these instructions. :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnnVeaWLotmkr80 Patti

[@stanleyarmstrong7183]

that was so amazing, thank you

[@patioelf]

thank you Stanley... Patti

[@evathompson3744]

Nice!!!!!!

[@patioelf]

+Eva Thompson Thank you Eva! Patti

[@rubymimosa]

Verra pretty! And fun! Hope you're not narrating isn't going to be a trend in your videos though, miss your voice! Mua! ps: just got some napkins (through your site of course!) I'm giddy!

[@patioelf]

+rubymimosa I do NOT like using subtitles, I had so many problems with the making, rather the editing of this video it was unbelievable. I almost didn't get the video out this week! So I prefer to talk since it seems much more personal. Thank you for the feedback! And I know what you mean about the giddyness factor. I experience it all the time. Decoupage is my vice! LOL. Love hearing from you....have a nice weekend. Patti

[@marybirder5663]

+patioelf I'm not one who would ever encourage anyone's "vice", but your vice is our hope and guided faith. Your tutorials have inspired me to begin the fine craft of decoupage~~fingers crossed on the learning curve ahead. Many thanks for the precious time you put into making your videos.

[@patioelf]

mary birder aww, what a very sweet thing to say Mary. If my vice was harming anyone I would work to get rid of it, but since it's quite a calming craft and it's encouraged you and others to give it a try, that just makes my day! Thank you so much Mary... Patti

[@martinosharon]

Beautiful💥

[@patioelf]

+Sharon Martino Thank you Sharon, I always love hearing from you! Hi to Paul... Patti
