Furniture Decoupage for beginners

[@PCHPatti]

Re: Wrinkles. They form because the paper fibers are absorbing moisture at different rates. Solution: Give your paper a light coat of your favorite clear coat spray. This encases the fibers, so the paper absorbs moisture/adhesive at the same rate and lays down flatter.

[@susanc1179]

I’m reading this 3 months later but what type of clear coat spray? I’m not sure what you mean. I want to give myself every chance of success if I try this.

[@PCHPatti]

@@susanc1179 One example is Krylon Crystal Clear Acrylic matte spray. Most spray paint brands have a clear coat product.

[@susanc1179]

@@PCHPatti thank you!

[@kathleenwalton3311]

Patti... Do you mean spray both sides?

[@PCHPatti]

@@kathleenwalton3311 yes both sides. You're trying to isolate the fibers (top and bottom) from the moisture of the decoupage medium, glue, etc. Good luck.

[@sherylsantoro]

That combination of paint and paper is exquisite! So elegant. You are a true artist. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@justhuman4904]

Totally agree with you. This is gorgeous together.

[@kerristephen7496]

I’ll admit, i did not think this would look good. These are Colors I never would have chosen. This piece is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! What a transformation

[@BrushedbyBrandy]

Definitely bold colors, not my usual either

[@lisafreebairn7736]

You BLOW ME AWAY! So gorgeous Brandy! Very unique piece.

[@cathygray7492]

Oh Brandy! This technique is too SCARY!!! I admire your courage!

[@shirleycranswick8476]

I absolutely love this piece. You have given me inspiration now to decoupage instead of just general painting a piece. I am in the UK so hope that i can source some of the products that you have used. Thank you for sharing your work and techniques with us. Stay safe and stay well. Shirley from the UK. X

[@cassandrasmith5517]

This is absolutely gorgeous🥰 Thank you for the great tips on extending the decoupage colors with like colored paints!! I love that❤️

[@michellelindsly7771]

So very pretty. I love the colors in that paper.

[@bigsistermaria5578]

Love that color rusty nails . The paper matches beautifully.

[@DiannaAtherton]

That turned out amazing. I learned Ed to Decoupage from my mother. It really wasn't a thing in the 70s but she made us kids Collages of family photos and painted on our bedroom dressers. Kinda cool.

[@BrushedbyBrandy]

What a fun memory ❤

[@lydiakinnaman1106]

Looks beautiful Already. !!! SOOOO BEAUTIFUL. !WOW WOW.... the MOST BEAUTIFUL PEICE EVER. !!! I have never seen any other peice that comes close to this .

[@anitavargas8085]

Amazing, amazing, amazing ❤❤❤❤ great way to give a new life to such pieces!!!!!!

[@josecloete3740]

Just gorgeous, well done. it is so enjoyable to watch the transformation. One very talented lady

[@hbicduh]

Thank You so much! I'm not so nervous to decoupage my furniture, and now how to apply my tissue paper. You are a wonderful teacher ☺️.

[@BrushedbyBrandy]

This method really makes it easy, of course over mouldings is tougher, flat is ideal

[@fisherlady408]

You are amazing and oh my goodness do I love that piece of art!

[@BrushedbyBrandy]

Thank you!

[@lydiakinnaman3679]

This is by far my #1 top transformations and have watching many artists.

[@elenalatici9568]

Gorgeous piece..Love the way you did this tutorial. Explained clearly, shown once, then moved on. You didn't make us watch you paint or affix every sheet of paper.Subscribed. Really beautiful work! Thank you

[@BrushedbyBrandy]

Thank you! Welcome aboard! I'm so glad you liked the format, editing is always tough

[@Cathyann51222]

Absolutely love this piece. The colors and paper are stunning! Great job! ❤

[@BrushedbyBrandy]

Thank you so much!

[@debkeyworth8429]

Thank you for keeping the wood top. I wasn’t too sure about the rusty nail colors but when it was done it’s was fabulous! Wow !

[@thatoldaner]

Goodness Brandy, this is beautiful!!! Moved right up there in my list of top favorite pieces!

[@sandraburki4308]

You are such a gift to us. I’ve bought my paint , decoupage and chest of drawers and have been watching so many paint and decoupage videos and you are by far the best out here on KZbin. I just wanted to thank you for the lessons and you are so so very good at it. ❤️❤️❤️

[@alfredamiles5376]

The piece is beautiful, way to think outside the box and come up with a one of kind awesome piece of furniture. Thanks for sharing!

[@marycollins7058]

l always buy furniture to paint, but l have never decoupage anything that is until now. Thank you for teaching us how to do it you made it seem easy so l will be trying. l have subscribed to your channel to learn everything l can before l begin doing the lesson.

[@gypsyjudy3521]

Beautiful. You taught me a lot in this short video. Thanks!

[@conniestelly3020]

Beautiful great work. Enjoy watching you and your husband y’all work great together. Y’all make me laugh enjoy y’all

[@moiraryan6286]

I thought it was going to be horrible, but the finish is absolutely fantastic, love it fair dues to you

[@nancydesrocher8338]

I think it would have also looked nice leaving the red rusty nail paint between the drawers and drawer edges just to kind of break it up and sort of frame each drawer. Very pretty piece tho. Great job!❤

[@cathygray7492]

But oh! It’s finished and it is so beautiful! I have watched many other furniture artist’s videos and your work blows the rest of them away. Love what you do!

[@ireneterpstra1366]

I think this was one of the very best transformation by paint and decoupage that I have seen after many months of watching many transformation videos. I just decided that if I truly want to be good at this sort of thing, I need to practice a lot, watch as many of your videos as I can, and just plain be brave and try the things that I don't think I can do.

[@BrushedbyBrandy]

Thank you! It was a beautiful piece, so much you can do with papers

[@lisagill2608]

Thanks for teaching us the way. I love watching and learning . They way you painted the edges to match and blend is genious.

[@BrushedbyBrandy]

Thank you!

[@donnastjules8157]

Its a beautiful piece brandy. I love the tip to paint around the decoupage paper. You can't tell at all. I also love the rusty milk jug behind you and am anxious to see what you do if anything

[@Braisin-Raisin]

You are an excellent teacher because you explain everythig clearly. I am just starting although I have worked in some form of art all my life but getting the precise explanations from you really does make a difference. Thank you.

[@BrushedbyBrandy]

Thank you for saying that, means a lot!

[@Braisin-Raisin]

@@BrushedbyBrandy Sorry for the typing errors! I fixed them. 🤨

[@terryreynolds13]

When removing sticky paint stripper from a piece you are refinishing you can use TSP to remove it very easily. Do not use this method on laminated wood because it will dissolve the glue and your laminate will bubble. Take as much paint off as you can with your scraper. Give it another coat of stripper and wait a few minutes. Mix 1/2 cup of TSP in about 2 cups of very hot water. With a sponge or saturated cloth rub it generously over the treated surface. Most of it will come off easily and eliminate the stickiness. A piece of steel wool will remove the rest without rubbing depending of course on the thickness of the paint. Use rubber gloves of course. A plastic drop cloth would also be a good idea. This is also excellent for evening out the finish of a piece of furniture. It will readily remove old varnish on it's own. It's also an excellent option for getting detailed areas clean. You can use a brass brush or even a stiff toothbrush. Hope this helps. 🙂

[@shannonwithperfectlyluna1151]

You are truly a one of a kind artist! Beautiful work!
