DIY Decoupage Romantic Coasters Hydrangeas

[@sherylmorgan3678]

I can't get enough of your videos. I have watched over 50 decoupage videos and I think yours are by far the best. I can't wait to do my first project!

[@melodyaxe745]

I really appreciate your videos. You clearly state the materials needed and offer tips throughout. As a beginner, I really appreciate that.

[@sherriemaner3206]

These are beautiful and I like how clear you are in your descriptions.

[@patioelf]

+Sherrie Maner Thank you Sherrie, I love hearing that type of feedback. Patti

[@marionmcginn]

I really love when the projects are practical as well as beautiful. Thank you

[@patioelf]

marion mcginn Thank you Marion! Patti

[@peggymann925]

Great video for these beautiful coasters! Have just started decoupaging and love using the many pretty napkins. Thank you for all the videos you do!

[@IrmaPereira]

Love this beautiful idea of using tiles to decoupage and give as presents, or use for myself, which is usually what I do. Love your work much ♡

[@patioelf]

Irma Pereira-Rivera Thank you Irma! I'm with you, I don't want to just use the tiles for flooring! :) Patti

[@IrmaPereira]

:)

[@carmentyson6941]

Thank you for your expertise Patti, I will wrap the vellum around the glass and use tape to secure it!

[@patioelf]

carmen tyson It sounds like it would be so pretty! If you're on FB and would like to post a few pics on my FB page (Facebook) the page is open and it's called Upcycle with Decoupage. Thanks Carmen! Patti

[@deezie78]

Hi Patti Love these romantic coasters. Your right, they would make a great gift. They looks so nice and easy to make also. Great project today Patti have a great day deezie

[@patioelf]

Deneen Lotz Thank you Deezie! I saw someone make coasters and add a pretty tag with the bride and grooms name and date of the wedding- what a great wedding or shower favor to make! They are easy to make so I hope you give it a try. Are you experiencing the same heat wave we are? Yuck! I'm staying in the AC and working on my projects. :) Have a nice weekend Deezie! Patti

[@deezie78]

patioelf Yes, we are in CT and probably having the same exact weather. Very hot and humid. I am in the AC too :) Great idea for a bride and groom, love it. Happy weekend, hope it cools offdeezie

[@patioelf]

No cooling in sight right? Loving the AC though. :) Patti

[@joyceroddy3952]

HI PATTI LOVE THIS IDEA AS W ELL AS ALL THE OTHERS. HAVE PICKED THIS UP AFTER YEARS OF NOT DOING IT. LOVE IT.

[@patioelf]

Thank you Joyce, I'm so happy you are able to do this now. :) Patti

[@dragonflyer59]

I love the high gloss finish...oh, and if you have any felt or flannel material you can cut out circles for feet and glue on...

[@Nancy0162]

Stunning! Great housewarming gifts!

[@aus44sie]

Everything you do is exquisite. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@patioelf]

+Patricia Wilson aww, now sweet! Thank you! Patti

[@missysunshine2660]

Hi Patti, Your coasters are beautiful and love the layering idea! I started an experiment last month with a canvas and used that same napkin. LOL Thanks for all the sharing you do! xx

[@patioelf]

April Passeck April, thank you, and those napkins are another one of my very favorites, I can't find them anywhere now though. Do you remember where you got them? Patti

[@missysunshine2660]

patioelf Hi Patti! So sorry....I forgot to answer this..busy week! I found these last year at Tuesday Morning. Is there one of their stores by you?

[@patioelf]

Yes, it's one of my favorite places to get napkins - and other things. Best prices and the prettiest napkins! *never worry about being so busy, I can't always get right back to you so I totally understand. :) Patti

[@connietowler3725]

You are sooo talented. These are Beautiful. Love the background with the writing and the phone book page, love that backing. Music sheets would be pretty too. Thank you for sharing :)

[@lauraminton7935]

Those are great! Unfortunately the big box stores no longer sell the 4-inch tiles. Maybe online though.

[@patioelf]

are you near a "Floor and Decor" store? They sell the smaller tiles :)

[@broussardfamily1]

Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you!

[@ursulatintinger9791]

Oh my gosh. Thank you for speaking and not just having the music

[@socorrocastorena3862]

Hi Patty, really enjoyed your video. I'm excited to make them! I have never done any at all. But I love the stone tiles. My question to you is , since I am a beginner, can you please tell me which is the easiest stone tile project for me to do. Please help. And I really want to do it! Thank you Patty. YOU ROCK!!!😍🐞🌻🌻🐞😍

[@joanwingo7114]

Beautiful!!! Love your voice

[@sonyalemacks7415]

Ok it's official. Your videos are contributing to an addiction. Lol LOVE YOUR WORK♡♡♡thanks again for the inspiration.

[@patioelf]

Sonya Lemacks High praise indeed Sonya! Thank you so much….you've made my day! Patti

[@tinakirksey9675]

These are very beautiful and I have been thinking about making some but am worried that they will not last. Are these very stable when placing drinks on them.

[@passionfashion6619]

My favorite is the triple coat

[@lindamorton9080]

I love these, can't wait to try.

[@littleladyreviews5553]

This is my second time watching your video . I love your videos and I have subscribed to your channel. I really enjoy your work. Thank you for sharing

[@patriciafennell4242]

Love your ideas!

[@steamriceroll]

Beautiful. Do you mind to put the glue material in the description box, the Mod Podge and the triple thick details ?

[@patioelf]

+steamriceroll Hi, I'm not sure what you are asking. You can use your native language and I will have it translated, and I'll try to answer you in your language, we'll see if that works. What language do you speak? Patti

[@fizznpop8287]

Hi, these are lovely. I have been experimenting with these and everything is fine until I put the first layer of mod podge on my smooth, wrinkle free napkin. Even though I let it air dry of an hour it still wrinkles a lot. Any suggestions would be appteciated.

[@carmentyson6941]

Hi Patti, how are you? I think these coasters turned out beautifully! I was wondering if I could use vellum paper on a decoupage project, I have a lot of 12×12 paper, but I'm not into scrapbooking.

[@patioelf]

carmen tyson Hi Carmen, I don't think you can use vellum since it's water resistant. The only thing I could think to do would be to use a clear glass vase and fit the vellum around it but use spray adhesive over the glass to secure the vellum. Or you could try this technique, kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKS0mWqQl5t_rbs Hope this helps. I love vellum so I may want to try this myself. Patti

[@jodyshafer-mezeske9713]

Where do you get your high gloss finish(tripe thick)? And is it heat resistant as well? Love these!

[@dinaelsherbiny1727]

Awesome , is the mod podge diluted with water ? Also does the oven reduce wrinkles ?

[@nicoleroberts4939]

These are pretty💗

[@630sunshine]

Can you use wood tiles instead of the stone tiles? If so, is it the same technique? Thank you.

[@socorrocastorena3862]

Hi! I just saw your video on romantic tile coasters. Can I use an acrylic spray sealer instead of triple thick?

[@fayhubbard3268]

Hi, I am really loving your decoupage ideas here in the uk. I have just tried to find your Facebook page Upcycle with Decoupage but it didn't find it? Have you any ideas how I could find it. Many thanks Fay

[@patioelf]

Fay Hawkins Hi Fay, I'm so sorry you couldn't find the page. I'll put a link to it here, let's see if that helps. There's also a page on Facebook called Mason Jar Madness and Decoupage which has some members from the UK. That's a big help if you ever need to know where to get products. Thank you so much! Here's the link to my FB page. facebook.com/UpcycleWithDecoupage?fref=ts Patti

[@fayhubbard3268]

patioelf Thankyou the link has taken me straight too it. x

[@djrepasky]

Great idea for wedding gifts!

[@patioelf]

That is a great idea Dj! thanks Patti

[@marjiens8163]

These coasters are lovely but don’t understand how they can absorb condensation from ice tea etc. Thank you for your excellent teaching.

[@annab3745]

I have looked everywhere for these tiles! All I have found are the glossy finished tiles.

[@patioelf]

Anna B Hi Anna, are you here in the States? I got these at Lowes in the flooring department. If you're outside of the states there's a FB page called Mason Jar Madness and Decoupage and they have members from other countries and other states, you can friend them and ask where to get the tiles. :) Let me know if you still need help Anna. I also sell them on my website here, upcyclewithdecoupage.vpweb.com/blog/2015/07/29/DIY-Romantic-Coasters-Decoupage.aspx Patti

[@carolfetherston7675]

Anna B AMAZON HAS THESE TILES

[@patioelf]

Thank you Carol- I have them on my website which goes through Amazon. :) Patti

[@carolfetherston7675]

if using one layer with top of napkin only which tiles do you prefer. I bought some of the tiles you used and love them but wonder if one layer will work. carol

[@patioelf]

Carol Fetherston Hi Carol, I'm sorry but I'm not sure if I understand what you're asking. I prefer the tiles that I used over the glossy sealed tiles, and I only used the top layer of the napkin on the tiles that I do have. Was that what you were asking? Patti

[@ruthskiff2899]

Can you set cold beverages on these coasters without the finish coming off?

[@LS-gp7xy]

Great video! Question: when placing a cup of hot coffee on your coasters, won't it melt the coating on them?

[@patioelf]

Hi Linda, and thank you. The Triple Thick is a heavier top coat than most and you would be safe to use it on this project. If you are going to use these in an environment where they get a lot of use (like a restaurant or a commercial setting) I would instead use a 2 coat resin which dries like glass - is as thick as glass and will take a beating. If you're just using these around your house the Triple Thick works well as long as it's completely dry. Since it's thicker it does take a while to 'cure' completely. I think they mention on the label not to place anything on top of it for several days so that it's completely cured. I hope this helps! Patti

[@aubdawg07]

[@swizzleproxi4810]

lovely idea

[@HeyGirlie92]

Really love these! Someone recently gave me a box of about a dozen of these same tiles and said, "I've had these for a while. I thought you could probably do something with these. Would you like them?" The box has been sitting on the floor of the back seat of my car for months. Now I know what to do with them :-) I'm looking for the link for your website. No luck :-( i'f love to know where to get the tissue paper with text ... Thanks, Patty!

[@patioelf]

***** Hi Susan, and thank you! I'm excited for you, that's the same reason I have a whole lot of "things" that are just waiting to be up cycled. There's a link to my website in the description box of this video. Did it not work or did you not see it? (I want to make sure there isn't a problem) Please let me know ok? I just bought fabric with script on it too, for a future project! Patti

[@susanvalentino4868]

patioelf I found the link. It coulda slapped me in the face. Right there all the time :)

[@artederua1937]

Sem palavras... Seu trabalhos são lindos!! :)

[@patioelf]

Obrigado e uma calorosa recepção de os EUA! Patti

[@artederua1937]

Obrigado !! Elisiane Portugal

[@bjbusick]

Tfs - this is very pretty! How would resin work on the surface?

[@patioelf]

bjbusick Resin would work really well over this project! A lot of people aren't comfortable using the resin but it's the perfect top coat for these! Patti

[@FollowYourDreamss]

patioelf Is Safe to use resin for coasters and tray?? I mean after dry can I serve beards in my tray ... for ex.?

[@Rabbitgirl62]

beautitiful will these be waterproof or heat proof

[@FollowYourDreamss]

These are adorable !!

[@brendacollins6441]

Awesome! Can you use fabric on the tile coaster..

[@patioelf]

Thank you Brenda! Yes you can use fabric. You would want to add a few more coats of decoupage glue over them (because it is thicker) and add a couple of coats of varnish. :) Patti

[@brendacollins6441]

patioelf Thank you so much...I'll keep watching and learning🤗 I have another question. 1st how about glitter craft paper also the toaster oven?

[@patioelf]

Hi Brenda. One thing you need to be careful about is the glitter. Is it a metal glitter or plastic. You'll know if melts. :) I have never used the glitter papers since they tend to be thick. If you try them would you let me know how they work out? Thanks! Patti

[@brendacollins6441]

thank you again:) I'll sure will,

[@patioelf]

:)

[@yvonnerodrigue140]

I love these these tiles!! I couldn't get onto the link . Something about an error. What is the name of the super high gloss finish? TIA : )

[@elliotttrevino425]

love your video I been experimenting and was wondering is duraclear varnish safe for day to day use as the sealant

[@patioelf]

Hi Elliott. I am not familiar with Duraclear- i haven't used it myself but I did notice that on Amazon someone asked if this was good to use on outdoor items and the responses were yes, so it should be fine-you can contact them directly on Facebook though to be sure. :) Patti

[@elliotttrevino425]

thank you so muich for responding love your tiles

[@patioelf]

my pleasure Elliott... thank you! Patti

[@susanflaherty6790]

could you tell me where you get all those lovely packages os tissue paper....

[@patioelf]

Hello Susan -I sell them on my website (and get them from the same place) and I'll give you the link to it. Tissue papers and napkin patterns go in and out of style. This is something you might like. On my site look this phrase up ok? Advantus Idea-Ology Tissue Wrap Here's the link to my site, upcycledecoupage.com/astore/ I hope you like it! Patti

[@karenbaldry8096]

I love them PatI xx❤️

[@FinallyCrafting]

These came out beautiful! :) I've been thinking about making some of these but I'm worried that they'll be sticky if you place hot beverage on them, like coffee etc.. Do you have any experience with that? TFS!

[@patioelf]

Finally Crafting Hello and thank you! Yes- I do have experience with that. I love all of my decoupage glues but I have noticed that if you do not add a top coat/sealer or varnish over them, these will get sticky when you put a hot drink over them. Most decoupage come off of a surface when you put hot water on them-so I always make sure to add a top coat. If you're going with the matte varnish, (all of the supplies are listed on my website-I'll send you the link -even if you don't want to buy from my site you can still look at all of the supplies (or read about them like the matte varnish I list on the page) but if you're using the matte varnish I would go with 3 coats, if you're using the Triple Thick you only need the one coat. Hope that helps! upcyclewithdecoupage.vpweb.com/blog/2015/07/29/DIY-Romantic-Coasters-Decoupage.aspx Patti

[@FinallyCrafting]
