Furniture Decoupage for beginners

**Please note, I no longer use and cannot recommend Dixie Belle Paint products due to highly questionable business practices, contract violations, and unethical treatment of artists and retailers that led to mine and numerous others resignations in late 2021. Please see the links below for more information. I have chosen to leave this video content up for learning purposes only, but highly recommend considering other products when trying to achieve these same techniques. There are too many good product brands on the market to support a brand with these practices. I've included links to my most used options below

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.

[@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.

[@kimaoyama9594]

Gosh darn it, Brandy. Another masterpiece!!!!! Excellent work and excellent instruction!

[@BrushedbyBrandy]

Thank you!

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

[@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. ❤️❤️❤️

[@josecloete3740]

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

That's our friend Carl 😂

[@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

[@karenbrown1496]

Beautifully finished, Brandy!

[@ruthcarter8895]

This is just flat AMAZING! Bravo!

[@diysbydar]

So many good tips on this one. Maybe i will try a decoupage sometime, you made it look very easy. Thanks!

[@leighseymour235]

Man, this is impressive!

[@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

[@joannflorez2667]

Wow! That was a great video. Thank You for showing us this.
