How to decoupage a ceramic pot - or just about anything you like!

Often when I am designing, there are times when the container has to be as important as the vessel and with decoupage a simple pot or vase can take your display to a whole new level.
This video shows how to turn a terracotta pot/ceramic vase/glass vase into a floral master piece that will enhance the beauty of your flowers! I call it magic - because to me that is what it is. You can take pretty much any surface, a printed paper serviette, glue, a paint brush and within an hour turn that surface into something visually beautiful.
Things to gather:
- A container of your choice, but it must be a smooth surface (nothing textured, or embossed), like terracotta, ceramic, glass.
- Plaid ‘ROYAL COAT’ Decoupage Finish or ½ Pod-Modge or PVA glue mixed with the same quantity of water: Mod Podge Matte Finish: amzn.to/1JAgV0o or Gloss Finish: amzn.to/1LWq4WP
- Paint brush for application of glue.
- Pretty printed paper serviettes with images you like!

Looks fabulous. Love your videos, the way you talk and explain things. Really terrific 😍

[@timeheals8]

Made this on pillow boxes to put little gifts in. So much fun. Lovely idea on the pot and the idea of the towel. Beautiful!

[@porkchop8542]

Thanks Aster, I’m going to do this to an old soup Tauren with plate and ladle. Beautiful pot

[@pamelabrown1797]

Just lovely Astar 😍 I love these old fashion crafts XX

[@barbaracole4314]

I really enjoy doing it, have done it on many different items besides pottery... it's not as easy as it looks on utube, takes a little practice, I started with tin cans amd empty jars.

[@healingathome8471]

I am so excited to do this. What a fun project! I love the florals.

[@AstarsPlace]

Pamela, it's addictive and beyond fun. You are going to so L O V E it. The possibilities are endless and the best part - once you get tired of it, simply wash off to remove. A good hot soapy soak and you can peel it off and start again. Marvelous. Kind regards Astar

[@FloridaManVal]

I'm going to do this with pressed flowers, beautiful!

[@justinwhite6787]

What a lovely idea!!! I think you may want to overcoat that? Just to protect the dried flowers a bit more?

[@heidismith2391]

I love this technique for the planters I plant to cover. Thank you for being so detailed.

[@patriciaingraldi4719]

[@cecilemorgan6579]

Love you Astar, and your work!

[@ginad3655]

This is such a wonderful idea - the pots look beautiful! I will give this a try - thanks for the lesson :)

[@AstarsPlace]

My pleasure Gina, I'm so pleased I was placed in a hard corner not knowing where to find the right container for my peonies because this is so cost effective and such a fun project. Best part, when you don't like it, it comes off easily with a bit of soaking. Take care Astar

[@sleeplessinthecarolinas8118]

Thanks for sharing your technique. The result is gorgeous!

[@deelee1070]

I would have liked to see the bouquet inside the finished pot.

[@mariaelenasantiago3313]

[@ruthhevia9217]

WOWWWWW GENIALLLLL BEATIFUL THANKS

[@LovkynaPeral]

Good Job 👍🤗

[@henriettahenson]

That is so stunning can you use magazine cuttings.. or has it just got to be napkins.???

[@LovkynaPeral]

Of course you can do it so too 🤗.great project 👍

[@AstarsPlace]

Hi there Henrietta, you can use anything to decoupage. I've used fabric, leaves, sheet 🎼 its endless. However for this particular project, I want the visual but not the texture. Enjoy crafting, Astar

[@henriettahenson]

@@AstarsPlace Thankyou 👍❤️🌈

[@AstarsPlace]

@Thelma Pirnie hello, yes you can. I love the paper napkins because they are a bit thinner and you don't see the joins. Warm regards Astsr

[@tierneylogan5943]

I enjoy crafting videos so much more with a lovely British accent 😊

[@lindaed3594]

Sounds New Zealand Kiwi accent to me😊and l love it!

[@Fittrendz]

❤ can this be put outside in the rain? What’s best to weather proof this technique?

[@AstarsPlace]

Hi there, not really suitable for the great outdoors. However, if it is placed out of the harsh elements under cover - like a porch it will be fine. However, it's important to protect with several good coats of sealing vanish. Hope this helps. Kind regards Astar

[@cherriebrown8677]

How well do they last on an outside porch or steps?

[@carlastizzani6945]

Hi 👋 the first coat was white paint?

[@roswanitamohdshariff4130]

How you prepare the ceramic pot? Do you put gesso or white paint first?

[@AstarsPlace]

Hello, best to paint the pot first. I just use a white undercoat. Depending on coverage, one coat should do it. Hope this helps Astar

[@Sharperthanu1]

You should try doing decoy page with laserfoil

[@AstarsPlace]

That is a great idea. I'll investigate immediately. Thank you for the tip. Kind regards Astar

[@cherri7206]

Can you put it out side? If water can wash it off is that still possible

[@AstarsPlace]

Hello Cherri, I so want to say YES PUT IT OUTSIDE, but unless you apply a really good couple of layers of exterior vanish, it will deteriorate. I've got mine outside but under cover and it's well protected from the elements so my fingers are crossed. I found a beautiful print show-casing mixed spring flowers which took my fancy and will be an amazing display in 6 months time??? I hope 🙏

[@user-jf7ss4uu6y]

How about FABRIC No napkins.

[@AstarsPlace]

Fabric is great, but the transfer with the napkins gives a seamless end result. Warm regards Astar

[@juliaxoxo6020]

Serviette?!

[@AstarsPlace]

Hi Julia, printed paper napkins.

[@jafallica]

It’s called DAYCOPODGE!

[@kelcal6697]

IF you use spray paint-DON’T put in OVEN!!!! It ruined all 3 of my pots!!!! 😡

[@XjtBA]

What happened to your pots that they were ruined?
