I have a pair of fabric sandals that the insole has disintegrated. The shoes are in perfect condition, so I did not want to get rid of them, now I can cut some cut fabric and cover up the ugliness, but keep the flexibility and waterproof! Yay! Thanks for sharing!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Great tip!

[@cybersis85]

You know this is cool, but plaid company made outdoor waterproof mod podge lol. I’m lazy enough that I use it. I did wonder if one could make their own version. So this is so cool and ingenious. Kudos. !!! Yay. This stuff is probably better.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Yes, that’s why I found this recipe because store-bought can be very pricey

[@lamardon9723]

I've been making air dry lilies, anthurium and leaves. This looks like a viable finish for the completed arrangement. Semper fi!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Yes, that would work well thanks for watching

[@marilyntyger5253]

The graphic is lovely. Thank you for showing us how to make a waterproof product. I think this will help all of us to do more projects that would benefit from this waterproof coating.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Works fantastic. Glad you enjoyed.

[@spinmarion1]

[@user-ik4dx4kn8n]

You're a awesome teacher, I'm a struggling artist and I work part time with The Salvation Army here in Reno,NV.. where I find cool stuff along with roadside treasures and love your ideas.. I just need motivation...🙏🙏 sometimes.. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment,so not much room 🤭 I do calligraphy and am going to do some transfers for decoupaging stuff for church... I also have crafty friends who enjoy creating.. Thanks again.. Lori Roach

Is your napkin printed with ink jet or color laser printer?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

It was printed on my inkjet

[@LISA-gv5yo]

Eu usaria isso no meu jesmonite caseiro, se eu já não colocasse hidrofugante! Pode ser viável! Vou tentar!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

❤️

[@polson8084]

Thx. I look forward to playing chemist and then.... artist

[@lalagamma4452]

Genius idea. Today's Quote: "A beautiful day begins with a beautiful mindset." Unknown. Does this alternative get tacky like Modpog ? Huge hugs. Namesta 🐞🐞🐞

[@OurUpcycledLife]

No, I don’t find it gets tacky at all, which is wonderful

[@lalagamma4452]

That's great to know. Modpog ALWAYS gets tacky I bought a few bottles and all the journal stuff I did sticks. Frustrating! 🐞🐞🐞

[@beverlywalker8215]

Was the graphic on the napkin printed from a laser jet or an ink jet? Thanks for the formula, it will come in handy!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

This was on a ink jet

[@barbblack7825]

😊

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thanks

[@paulapereira2855]

Tanks for your,'s videos ❤ It is possible tell me wich is the model of your brother print, please? Obrigada!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

amzn.to/49OERA6

[@paulapereira2855]

Tank you very much! ❤ And for laser color? Can you give me our opinion, please?

[@steelsunpi]

Will it work as a substitute for modpodge with your laser jet to wood sign making technique where you rub off the paper with water?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Haven’t tried that! I wonder….

[@juliabowdrey9034]

Does it go yellow over time?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

I don’t find it does thanks for watching

[@dawnporter3849]

Have you use rice paper instead of a napkin? Just wondering if that can be used in place of napkins. TIA

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Worth a try

[@zyxw2000]

Just use outdoor polyurethane, the kind made for wood. Lots easier.

[@KiKi-js7ys]

Make one that doesn't need to be soaked in. I'm trying to use it as a sealant for acrylic paint on ceramic! Please, I need this!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

I’m unsure of a recipe for that

[@KiKi-js7ys]

@@OurUpcycledLife Oh, okay. If you find one, let me know, please. I just bought dishwasher safe Mod Podge.

[@neldasanders7110]

Where can I find diy napkins? Thank you

[@margaretdillinger5090]

Could you use a “ water proof” product you put on shoes as an extra layer? When you mix the solution up, how longer can you keep it? Thanks for sharing.😊

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Definitely worth a try

[@alisonmary1443]

Great idea, love it. Sorry for butting in but I was looking through comments to see if anyone asked about if print was inkjet. Water proofing shoes is a mix of Silicone and White Spirits, don't know if it's suitable for your good/coloured pair but definitely garden/walking boots 💖

[@canigetabeer5188]

Will the silicone stay clear or will it yellow in time?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

I haven’t had a issue with it

[@CraftyStaby]

Instead of water, can mineral spirits be used?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

I haven’t tried that

[@maggiebowman1636]

Are the results machine washable?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

No, they are not as stated at the end of the video

[@m.martinez167]

Don't wash that silicone down your sink!
