How to Decoupage A Sea Shell

[@debbiehutchinson2410]

Very nice! Love that duck!

[@suetatlock8328]

You can also print onto tissue paper. Attach it to a piece of printer paper, top and bottom with sticky tape. Shiny side down. Ensure what you want to print doesn’t come close to the tape. Used this method a lorry load of times.

[@artanddebearickson9729]

So beautiful. Thank you for the precise directions.

[@girlenemagalhaes5088]

Beautiful!

[@gleidesduartemello2119]

Very beaultiful. Where you buy this shell?

[@l3l3Cakes]

Wow this is beautiful and so easy to follow! Do you paint anything on the back! Like a gloss to bring out the natural color of the shell?

[@artbyedye4758]

no, i do not, but is a wonderful idea! i will try this! 🤗

[@paulieabeles2149]

Do you seal the gold paint at all? Thx

[@raymondlibert9861]

Nice nice nice . Good job . Thanks

[@Yasmeendesousa79]

it's beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

[@ritanazar]

lovely.

[@sophiab9955]

May I use this for a soap dish or can you show one of your shell soap dish techniques

[@artbyedye4758]

even though it is sealed, i do not recommend using it as a soap dish. i will research and do a video for water proof! great idea!

[@agiagata945]

You can seal this with one of Polyvine heavy duty varnishes. I use this varnish for tile coasters and is heat, uv and waterproof. Trust me, I have tried a lot stuff and learnt in hard way😅

[@margaretskoog1919]

where did you purchase your shells from?

[@alemanalondon]

Thanks a lot for the workshop. Question, would it be ok to use both times gloss mod podge? Or first one should be matt?

[@artbyedye4758]

yes, you may. i have tried both ways.

[@hattiebjones]

Beautiful

[@gourmay682]

Does this only work with napkins? What kind of printing paper do I need to ask for if I want to make a custom?

[@russiandressing4902]

Hi Gour! I have decoupaged with very thin paper as well. Just use the thinnest printing paper. It is a little more challenging to smooth it out but it does work!

[@suenetteedwards5965]

You can find lots of napkin decoupage pieces on Amazon. I would think that a lot of others would carry them as well. Hobby Lobby, Overstock, Joannes, etc.. I would do a search on Duck, Duck.com

[@agiagata945]

You can use rice paper and fabric too

[@venusiandesigns]

Loved it

[@donnavogel7367]

Love the look! What do you do if you make a mistake with the gold paint?

[@artbyedye4758]

keep going… all shells are unique !

[@margaretyoong9818]

Pretty!

[@lucybanta7311]

Beautiful ! Where did you find such a nice shell? On a beach or did you purchase somewhere? Thanks.

[@artbyedye4758]

thank you!! i purchased the shell at a local craft store.

[@mandyunger3878]

How much do you sell the shells for like the duck one?

[@artbyedye4758]

i sell them on my website (art by edye) for $39.

[@meghagupta3032]

Last coating varnish ki kr skte h?

[@kelleyliebzeit9238]

What was the gesso for?

[@Pocketsnuggies]

How much do You sell them at shows please?

[@mcooper4239]

Instead of applying Gold leaf/gold paint, could gold spray paint not be used? It would seem easier. 🤗

[@artbyedye4758]

i suppose you may, just be careful to cover the image. good suggestion, i might try the metallic gold or silver spray paint!

[@mcooper4239]

Thank you 🦋

[@agiagata945]

I use metallic wax - you can use finger, small cloth etc. Looks beautiful also seals edges

[@thelmamoore657]

Cool

[@carolynr7770]

I use gold pen

[@LS-gp7xy]

Looks beautiful 😻- but it is MOD Podge, not MODGE Podge 😊

[@artbyedye4758]

yes, thanku!

[@michelleaw1325]

🤭 but I got it...great straightforward instructions!

[@carriebollum6910]

It’s mod podge not modge podge , but cute look

[@vjm1639]

Beautiful shell dish, but please.....it is MOD Podge. Not “Modge ”Podge. No G in Mod. Great work though.

[@russiandressing4902]

aaaah yes! thank you for the correction!

[@thegirlatthebeach3221]

Seriously? You're correcting spelling? Lol! You and everyone knew what she meant. Gees! Typical liberal

[@vjm1639]

@@thegirlatthebeach3221 Corrected the pronunciation. If you are teaching someone how to do something you should use the correct word. She thanked me, you chose to make it political. 🙄.

[@prodigirl1]

It’s ‘scissors’, not ‘scissor’. Scissors is a plural noun. Scissor is a verb. Nice job though. Use a small wad of saran wrap to smooth out the napkin instead of the hard handle of a paintbrush, you will have more control and accuracy around the nooks and crannies and much less chance of tearing with your fingers tips.
