[@Chatty-Cathy823]

So MUCH more than I expected. 2 napkins on fabric. WOW! Love it and you too! I just did a napkin on a hanging basket and it turned out pretty good. Now everything I see - I think about decoupage. Even hubby thinks it’s awesome and I am learning so much from your tutorials. Thank you for sharing (and just being YOU)!❤❤❤

[@DonnaBragg61]

This turned out fantastic!! Thanks for sharing and being so thorough in your directions! 😊

[@DebiLee-lm4dl]

I just want to tell you how much I appreciate the time & effort you put into explaining your projects. It gives us confidence to be able to complete the project ourselves. Brilliant videos!!!

[@thediystruggle]

Thank you so much Debi!!

[@musikkfamilien]

You explain really thoroughly and educational. Thank you! You are one of the few making a difference in this

[@thediystruggle]

I appreciate that!! I know this kind of content is not for everyone. Many complain it's too long. But, I have so many that happen on my tutorials and say I answered so many questions people never thought to ask. I'm always so grateful when I get a comment like this. It's helps me know the content is reaching the right audience!!

[@AmandaFriedmanMascio]

Really cool tutorial! Love the design too. You're an excellent teacher, Professor Brandi! Please keep the lessons coming! 🎉❤🎉

[@krish.5823]

Yes, I have this new jacket that my dog as a puppy chewed a hole in the back area. I think this idea I can put a nice patch over the back area. It will look like it was always like that.

[@dorisandujar8277]

This is the 1st time I've seen this process. Looks so great. I'd love to try it. I've been sewing 4 over 40 years and this is something different to add to my sewing projects. Thanks 4 the tutorial and the inspiration.

[@roxis5539]

First of all I love your videos, you are an amazing artist and crafter and I am so happy you share your ideas with us. I love the idea of napkins on fabric, I certainly will try this!

[@thediystruggle]

Awww (hugs) thank you so much Roxi!

[@vickiehughes9798]

I love that bag, wonderful work. I'm sorry you are suffering with degenerative disk disease, I have it too so I feel your pain. I was also in a car accident 2 years ago and fractured my lower back, and I don't like to take medication, I use herbal supplements and anything natural, crafting helps me somewhat forget about pain. Here's to better days ahead. Love your shows, all of them. Keep up the good work...

[@thediystruggle]

The pain is rough.. I am so glad crafting helps!

[@musikkfamilien]

I am a chronic pain pasient with many though diagnosis. I live bring creative and if I had one of those desks; boy, would it be convenient and helpful. Well, I don’t. Greetings from Norway 🇳🇴 I want to ask one thing. It seems like you used the fabric decopage also on top? I want to do this on a big bag. So I need to know. Planning to do it abroad, so I might have to get it from Amazon?

Beautiful as always girl! I can relate to back issues and pain. I have Disk degenerate disease, scoliosis, herniated discs, collapsed tail bone, sciatica and 9 other spine problems from tail bone to my neck. So ya when we craft we cant stand to long sit to long. It sucks. That bag was stunning Brandie!!!!! 👏 👏 👏

[@pamelataylor3537]

Theme tote bag looks AWESOME Brandi. I love the. 2 napkins blended together like that. Thanks for the tutorial, you’re a great teacher and explain everything so that we can understand and gain the confidence and inspiration to try things, you make me feel like I’m so experienced with decoupaging, till I do it myself lol. I’m getting better though and my projects are beginning to look half decent. TFS Brandi and have a great week. Your desk is going to be so good for your pain. It’s shit being in pain 24/7, I get over it but there’s not much you can do about it do you just get in with your life and it’s no use whinging as people think you’re putting it on cos they can’t see anything wrong and they think cos you’re doing things and smiling etc that there’s not much wrong with you, we’ll that’s what I’ve found anyway. Unless they have chronic pain, they don’t understand. Enjoy your new desk and I really hope that it helps you.

[@machelleschomaker2027]

I never would have thought to decoupage a napkin onto fabric, Brandi!! I also appreciate you using the fabric Mod Podge so I can see it in action. I appreciate you and the wonderful tutorials. I have learned so much from you! I can see I'll be expanding my horizons. The desk looks wonderful, and so nice to be able to adjust the height, especially when your back is not behaving. Thanks for the inspiration, Brandi. ❤

Hey Brandi, fun video as always...I think I would keep using my little iron just to bother people! lol Sorry to hear about your degenerative disc disease. I also have that along with a bunch of other back issues. I had a birth defect show up when I was 35, now 23 years later life is NOT fun. Living with chronic pain EVERY day...I would not wish this on ANYONE! I spend most days in bed on ice to try to get any relief. The desk you received looks awesome and helpful. So glad for you! I will be keeping you in my prayers Brandi, take care, Sandie

[@libbycollins9349]

I’ve decoupaged napkins into the canvas I’d cut out of one of the Dollar Tree frames. Worked great with ordinary Modpodge. I just can’t figure out what the heck to do with it now…. Love your demonstrations. I’m old with crippled hands and I love that I’m not the only one who mucks up sometimes. I tend to get more modpodge on me than the projects.

Yes I would like to try deco on fabric! Thank you! When you wrinkled up the I was really expecting it to crunch. Can't wait for your new napkins to be up! I have degenerative disc also. Mine started in my 30's now in my 60's. Take extra care of your self. I'm in a wheelchair now with 10 surgeries under me! I did not take extra care. I am so sorry that you are in so much pain. We used wood heat between splitting and stacking and carrying in I really did my back no favors! You bring such joy and information to us all. Thank you and God Bless!!!!!

[@thediystruggle]

Thanks for the information. I really do try to adjust as needed and take things into consideration when I am doing stuff. The standing desk has been a game changer for me because i can not sit and craft for long periods of time bending my neck. it kills me

I have never thought about decoupage on fabric. I'm excited to try it!

[@provokedpatriot5983]

I was finally able to tell my family, "Yes there is someone that loves to decoupage more than me". They are afraid I will decoupage the house (it would look great). I already have some plain canvas bags and about a bjillion napkins so ready to go. Btw, I have a baby iron that has temp controls! Amazon craft iron. (Not the teeny one - it's about the size of my hand).

[@pennyjennings6926]

Brandi, I love your videos. Can’t wait for the next one to come out, especially using Mod Podge! Have you ever decoupled on a tshirt? Everything I’m seeing on KZbin is using “cling wrap”. Any advice you can give is greatly appreciated! Keep inspiring us!

[@rorigilliam3061]

This is awesome

[@Wanda6308]

I have done one project with decoupage on a bag like yours with napkin, but I need practice. I was not happy with the first one as far as selling it to a customer, but I am going to try and make 3 more for craft sale. I love the craft; I just need to be more precise when making it ,

[@thediystruggle]

All it really is, is practice. When I first started I did napkins which is the worst to start with. I should have tried card stock or paper.. then worked my way to napkins. I felt so defeated at times because my friend the official craft nerd. She is the one who introduced me to the art and she made amazing things. It looked so easy. But, my projects looked a mess and cling wrap did not work for me the way it did every other person I watched. It always tor my napkins. You got this!!

[@barbarafoor7468]

I've never thought about using fabric before. I'm going to try and find something to create.

[@alisonhicks9298]

I can't say I'd even thought of trying that....but I'm going to now.😁 While I'm not a nautical fan, that turned out beautiful!! I didn't know you could even put a napkin on fabric. You teach me so many new things.💕

[@teresasanders5555]

Your bag turned out GORGEOUS sweetie pie. I’m wanting to deco on my Jean jacket. I’m such a slob, “here crumbs Teresa” lol I’m afraid I won’t be able to wash it.

[@thediystruggle]

I plan on making a short of me washing this but I want to let this cure for atleast 3-5 days to give it a chance to really be on the bag. I will post it about it as soon as i do!

[@Rita-yw2tn]

Girl I got to have me one of those desks because I feel your pain I too have degenerative disc disease and RA and I’ve had 3 back surgeries already and if I had it go over with again I wouldn’t have had the first one because it sucks !!! I think I hurt worse now than I did before but I guess it varies on the person I just wasn’t one of them . Anyway , I’m glad you’re doing this decoupling on fabric because I’ve been thinking about trying it out so now I’m going try it your way ! 😁

[@jfhankins1525]

Great job. I might try this

[@jen7916]

I didn’t know you have DDD! I have it as well, along with having to have a spinal fusion last year. So I completely know how chronic pain can affect our comfort while crafting. I would LOVE a sit/stand desk, but I cannot afford that lol. I just saw a lady do this on a pair of cloth sneaker type shoes, absolutely adorable 🥰 I have to say, I love your little pop up “reactions” 😂 Edit: my mom would absolutely LOVE this….she is the lighthouse/nautical Queen 😄

[@debragriffin5844]

Thank you Brandi! I love Tutorial Tuesday! I am going to make a bag now! 😊

[@pcmdonophan]

I just watched your video on decoupaging your tote bag. Your tips are great and well appreciated! Your teaching method is very good, you don’t go too fast nor too slow. I thank you for keeping the camera on the item and your hands NEVER block the camera’s view! Question: I will be showing my craft group decoupaging onto pot holder. I never knew to use ModPodge for Fabric-thanks for this great tip! The pot holder fronts are 100% polyester, we will not be decoupaging the back, just the front pocket. We know to use cardboard (we have painted fabric aprons and we used cardboard in case of paint leakage. Is it ok to use a heat gun to speed up the drying or just air drying for proper curing process? Thank you!

[@thediystruggle]

First thank you so much for the sweet comment! I really appreciate you taking the time to be so kind! So, lol I deff have talked about this. I know everyone is different and teacher different. And, yes I know some use heat guns in there content for this. Even I have. But, here's what I can tell you. The cure time is what the cure time is, no matter if you are doing a spead up dry or not. It just superficially dries the top. The actual medium itself takes time to adhear through. I hope that makes sense. I personally have also experienced using a heat gun a d the medium not sticking entirely to the backing and creating more of a peal like surface if over done. So, I always recommend a natural dry for decoupage if time allows for it. The results are just better! Hope this helps!! And, tell your group Hi!! I hope yall make some beautiful amazing things!!🧡❤️💙💚

[@pcmdonophan]

@@thediystruggle Thank you so much for explaining cure times. I was thinking this would be your answer (natural drying vs heat gun drying). We’re going to be doing pot holders that gave a hand pocket-fun!

[@rese7878]

Would love one of those desks but that much money isn't in the budget for awhile..as for a heat press I know Amazon has had Cricut 9×9 on sale for $99..beautiful bag as well

[@terirachelsims8928]

I love that design! Once it's dry and sealed can it be washed? I might consider doing that for decor, like maybe something to frame. Otherwise I've had good luck with the ModPodge transfer medium, and you could always copy napkin designs with a laser printer to use that print as a transfer. Granted it's really easy to put together things to print, but there are some great napkin designs - like what you just used.

[@thediystruggle]

It says on the bottle it can be washed... I might make a short of me washing it after it cures!!

[@normacmckay-morris3268]

❤ your video , Can l use colors canvas bags also to do the napkins also!

[@thediystruggle]

You can just paint it white before applying the background. You could get colored fabric paint to blend around the napkin to the color of the bag
