Decoupage on Scraps and Broken Decor

[@silvebeaton8511]

I’ve absolutely binge watched your videos over the last two weeks and I can honestly say you guys are FRIGGEN amazing! What a couple, what a ride, what an awesome way to spend life. ❤️

[@JamiRayVintage]

Aww, thank you!

[@merryharrison4841]

You two are so quite. It’s nice to see a couple working together.

[@r.c.miller6161]

Love the music decoupage. It’s not your typical decoupage piece.

[@alicejump7245]

Two people who have no fear when it comes to DIY equals some amazing pieces! Blessed and safe days!

[@NanasRanch]

I sit in my tiny house, surrounded by auction & thrift store finds needing paint, sipping coffee, and watching your videos. At some point I’ll get up and get busy. But until then, happy to watch & plan.

[@juanitameador915]

My son and I make wind chimes out of old flour sifters and vintage flatware. They are awesome!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Nice!

[@beecharmer31326]

You guys are the bomb diggity you come up with the greatest things thank you

[@kathleenwalton3311]

You two are a cute couple. Thanks for sharing your talents with us

[@rushka1354]

Greetings from 🇨🇦 . First time on your channel. Love your chemistry and ideas!

[@teriparrish]

Jami, watching an old replay. You mentioned having to have tv on to get to sleep. Me too, even as a child. Classic ADHD. But reading knocks me out.

[@joburrow9863]

I am so impressed you two. Being a DIYer myself I sometimes take longer to decide what I’m going to do with what I gathered up to use for a project. I am getting better with just “committing “ like you I see you do. It always look great and I love your work. Thanks for sharing.

[@juliacockroft8745]

Once the piece is dry - sand down and away from the edges of your project to avoid damage. Also, if you tear the tissue paper, rather than cutting it, the edges will blend better.

[@pebbiecomer1513]

What another great idea! Y’all are two of the most creative people ever! I’m always amazed at what y’all figure out to do with pieces/things! Love it all so much!

[@jaybee8094]

I really like those papers and how quickly everything comes together. As a "decoupager" in the 70's, it used to take days to finish a project in humid South Florida.

[@diywithtarnya]

I love that Jami “my heart is good, but my mouth” too funny! 😂 That resonates with me.

[@guadalupecarmona7208]

[@MsJet1]

I can't believe how well the sheet music worked on the posts!

[@kimberlylee3593]

Talking about temps.. Here in South Ga, our high for today is expected to be 75. Just came across y'all about 2 weeks ago and I'm in love and addicted!! Tfs! Will definitely be purchasing some of y'alls decopauge papers very soon.

[@reduex]

it's not that I love sheep, but the notification on my phone is a sheep baaa baaa. Never ever have I had so many quizzical looks and giggles from a notification selection.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Haha! That’s great!

[@janer2703]

Had the "Black Sheep" t-shirt on today. I love it. As a kid, I was called that and always felt it was a badge of honor! Thanks Jami and Co., for keeping it real! 🐑

[@JamiRayVintage]

❤️❤️❤️

[@sarahsueparker]

Thank you for sharing. I haven’t tried decoupaging and have wondered about the paper and how it works. I’m 𝓲𝓷𝓼𝓹𝓲𝓻𝓮𝓭 !

[@sndygskylr]

I ❤️ you both but I really needed to hear what you’re using at each step. I usually learn so much from your videos but I’m lost this time.

[@amandarindone1996]

Me too

[@lisaroth7526]

I loved all of these and am sorry I missed the live, but happy I caught the replay. Got my 2nd "situation" shot today. All is good. I did order some more paper - I just can't resist it!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Hope your feeling well after the shot ❤️. My parents both did ok ❤️

[@rebacarmack8335]

Love the Chickies

[@renaywp1]

Love your projects! Thrilled that I found y’all. 🙌🏻🤗🙏🏻✝️🇺🇸❤️💕

[@jedkate6173]

Loved this 😊

[@Grambo1946]

Oh, I'm gonna order the chicken paper. I'm gonna make a picture to hang inside my daughters hugh (like 40 ft x 15 ft) chicken coop in Arizona. We hang pictures of people on our walls, so they deserve chicken pictures. I have a weird sense of humor 😂. Xxxx Grambo

[@JamiRayVintage]

Oh my gosh I love that so much! Please share a pic in the FB group. It’s gonna be cute. Xoxo Jami

[@gwencupit2243]

That was awesome 😁 My deco paper just arrived yesterday... Oh I can't wait to start a new project.. Thanks for sharing... Hugzz😘

[@alisonevans6121]

Just left a comment on another post saying you don't seem to do the makeovers anymore, then I find this one from only a few days ago 😳 love it

[@robinarbster911]

So great you guys do this together

[@sharronmorrison2810]

Jami is ruff on stuff

[@karenhills8535]

I love WNW, your projects today turned out great, the papers are very beautiful

[@shuglovemagnolia6650]

I love u guys! I been following a long time. Yall are awesome! And very inspirational to me. 🐝🌺🌼

[@rennkay3291]

Grew up in Hawaii, beach every day. Now live in Northern California, beach, like never. Tahoe, yes summertime.

[@lucindaholmes1969]

The papers are so pretty!

[@cindycindy4103]

***HOW TO USE IRON TO DECOUPAGE, EASY!! I’ve been doing this method after trying traditional, tearing, wrinkles, mess, I QUIT! Saw this, haven’t looked back! Do EXACT SAME STEPS you did above, BUT let your “decoupage medium dry (I use min wax water base sealer dries in 15-30 min tops). Once dry, decide placement of image and lay it down, set a regular clothes iron (I use a travel size) set on HIGH/COTTON, NO STEAM (I never use this iron for anything but, no risk residual water) next place a piece of paraffin paper OVER IMAGE to protect, then start moving the iron (I use circles, swirling) all over surface, keep iron moving, tilt on edges to ensure it’s down, pick up paper look for any loose areas (especially edges) then your done!! It looks like it’s hand painted!! I did a da Vinci painting (printed from computer) on buffet doors and EVERYONE THINKS it was hand painted! Apply top seal coat (it WILL BUBBLE UP LOOK FUNNY, DONT WORRY) allow to dry again, re-iron using same method, and it’ll go back to flat/perfect! Sand edges for straight even line on overhang, DONE!! Simply put, the irons heat reactivates the sealer snd “melts/bonds the image onto the surface without worry of tear or wrinkle, especially since starting , laying image down dry! You’ll LOVE THIS!! I’ve done smalls (chicken cutout with stand, a “&” symbol cut out of wood approx 5-6” thick… just used CURLING IRON IN tight areas iron couldn’t reach, and even piece of cardboard cut to size of empty frame! Nobody would know unless they flipped to look, no “zeb” to cut wood if I had it!, dresser tops, drawers (line up on their side just like applying large transfer!) Your papers are STUNNING, MOST UNIQUE, , Colorful I’ve ever seen. Ordering ASAP! ZEB THIS IS NO FAIL CANT GO WRONG, JUST do it!! PROMISE YOU WONT REGRET! Imake it really easy and do a cutting board 1st doesn’t get easier! I see these replacing transfers (once people learn easy way and aren’t intimidated), more bang for buck!! Can’t wait to see your 1st item when your done, and the look on your face! When you realize how easy and stress free this is! Forgot to mention ceramic tile “coasters” with a GORGEOUS toile image , and big top coat ! Please TAPE IT (can always throw away?!? But you won’t!) I really want to see the look on your faces!! Keep up the hard work and great videos! I hope I hear something, somehow once you do this! Cindy

[@pamalapeterson5352]

I really a. Thankful you actually have a husband who enjoys working with you!...love y’all’s conversation between y’all!......good sense of humor shared!......I really like the bicycle ordered from y’all!...I pray Jami you are continually praying 🙏 to God and especially thankinG Him for Zeb in your life!."God bless y’all abundantly and stay safe and healthy!

[@LexiandAimee123]

Wait a minute. I’m 61. I’m still licking and then pulling the paper apart. Was that supposed to end at some point?

[@springhernandez7417]

Wanted to thumbs up I know i will enjoy. Going to watch it on my tv in large setting.

[@nancycavins402]

The trays came out awesome! Beautiful!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@margokline7109]

I hope I have found show around 10/25/22 love your show learning how to do so many things 😊

[@brendam2235]

Love what you did with your new decoupage papers, haven’t try yet but love to give it a go, I can finally get some of your product now we’re I live fun video 👏👏❤️❤️

[@JamiRayVintage]

Yay!

[@shirleymorales3161]

I'm a little tired of chickens but....I love it !

[@SableSunsets]

I’ve watched your videos for many years now and I can totally tell what Jami giving Zeb’s projects the side eye of judgment, hehe all in good fun tho !

[@balletsing3908]

Awesome job guys !

[@janetcox5748]

Great ideas and info, thanks!!

[@bluecottonbykammy7199]

Please do a video on how you clean your brushes! My brushes never look at clean as yours.

[@JamiRayVintage]

We did a brush care video a long time ago. But really anymore we just use our pot scrubber brush and this French soap we carry on our home website. If they get really bad we soak them in fabric softener over night

[@sgdavis8888]

Question for anyone who's done decoupage before: Do you have to use tissue thin paper, or can you use something like scrapbooking paper thickness?

[@JamiRayVintage]

We prefer the 18# tissue paper but we’ve done as thick as card stock. When doing thicker papers it’s all about the decoupage medium. Liquid patina has been our go to. jamirayvintage.com/products/diy-crystal-clear-chandelier-liquid-patina-diy-paint?_pos=3&_sid=4fece50be&_ss=r

[@NanasRanch]

I grew up in the 60-70’s with a decoupage master (Mom). She did all kinds of papers. Four coats of medium on TOP of paper. When completely dry, soak paper in water and gently roll paper off the back. The image will stay on the medium and can be placed on the project.

[@jolombardi1391]

So Beautiful

[@sharonromer6606]

I can't go to sleep at night without the TV on...it helps my brain wind down.

[@laurieberry3920]

Me too!!!!!

[@jennifermccurter9180]

same here

[@judyy3827]

Me too and it has to be on Forensic Files. 🤷‍♀️

[@lory6605]

The spindles with the music notes on them - you could add another bigger board to the bottom so it will balance better & not tip over.

[@jackielucchesi6654]

LOve all of them ....AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gonna have to order more paper!!!!!!

[@laurastiarwalt4389]

I am watching video from today. Had to work during live, was my last day at work. Retiring. Just picked out more paper, killing me Jami and Zeb. I love it though.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Oh Happy Retirement Laura! That’s an exciting day.

[@pollyporter-campbell7493]

Even though you didn't ask, the rooster tray is my fav. Great job, as usual.

[@joniallen6880]

So smart to do a grain sack paper!

[@ginamaria2579]

That was fun 🤗💕. We have some mountains in Missouri and Kentucky here in the Midwest 💕💕💕

[@JamiRayVintage]

That’s right you guys have the Smokey’s. My pocket lives in Kentucky.

[@ginamaria2579]

Jami Ray Vintage Appalachian in Kentucky and and Ozark mountains range in parts of Missouri I think smoky might be Tennessee maybe parts of Kentucky 🤗💕

[@SableSunsets]

I can totally tell Jami did not love the pillar posts lol !!i definitely need to pick up some of your paper !

[@juefryer2078]

Decoupage, yes my favourite, brill

[@robinlangston-jones1460]

What are you using to protect the table that you’re working on?

[@DayTripVintageCo]

I love Robertos...their Carne Asada burritos are the best!! I grew up in Fallbrook and lived in Encinitas in my early 20’s. I haven’t thought about Robertos in years. I now feel the need to drive down the coast from LA to get some burritos!! Loving your new papers and the projects today! 😍

[@JamiRayVintage]

We’ll eat a few extra taquitos for you ❤️. Debi got me hooked on Robertos and now I always have to have it.

[@DayTripVintageCo]

@@JamiRayVintage I forgot about their taquitos! Now I am REALLY craving. I am hoping to drive down in May to visit Debi’s new store.🤞🌮🌯❤️

[@marthajameson1319]

Try the Mississippi Gulf Coast we have 80 to 85% humidity and it doesn’t have to be raining.

[@gingerlynnjohnson7854]

I would like to find some of those at the thrift store because they would be the perfect size for lamp bases. Especially those ones with feet on them would be perfect! (Book lamps, cigar box lamp, etc).

[@JamiRayVintage]

Great idea for these bases!

[@tarynkriebel319]

I didn’t catch what you use for decoupage?

[@vickifischer-rasmussen3850]

I love the music sheet. It might have worked if you had torn off a strip and wrapped it spiral around the post. But it looks great.

[@shuglovemagnolia6650]

I seen somewhere when decoupodging edges to use a wet brush size vary to rip around edges be good for inside objects and avoid unnecessary ripping. Im always afraid of mishapps

[@shirleywendt4930]

I know you live in Utah, but can you make some ocean themed decoupage papers? I live in Southwest Florida. Thanks

[@cindy1274]

Looks great,!

[@jolianeperkins7191]

First time to find your channel. Yeah. I love watching you two work. Your prints are really nice. Thanks for all the ideas and tricks

[@dianekeller851]

What top coat did you use? So no glue just top coat? Love watching .... thanks!

[@sandyshemet1537]

You prefer brushing versus spray paint?

[@milenapimentel4820]

So cute! Thank you for sharing! (For the moment I only use one hand on my videos at YT- fractured arm and wrist, unfortunately).

[@lisettecalzada6496]

hello from Palmdale California

[@angreed711]

Hahahahaha I licked the paper on the fold!!!

[@conniedeshazo3031]

Why did you put the handles over top of the sheep instead of on the ends ??

[@JamiRayVintage]

The handles for this design go on the top. Just the way it worked out. May move the paper a little next time so it doesn’t cover it up.

[@joannachatham4108]

I would use a different handle on the side.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Yeah but this is a waste not Wednesday video. The idea is to use what we have in hand that’s cheap or free. 😊❤️

[@joannachatham4108]

Got it!! Love the chickens

[@crabbyblonde13]

Can you tell us how to find details and how to go to the Boot Camp? I'd love to learn from you both in person :)

[@JamiRayVintage]

Here is all the info. debisdesigndiary.com/video-bootcamp/

[@crabbyblonde13]

Thank you!! 🥰

[@shinerlist5721]

When we order paper it is, price listed for one pc, correct

[@brennalyke26]

So you're using white swan as base then paper then big Top or chandelier patina to seal? Process please. I wanna order some papers but hope I have everything I need already to use them. Thank you!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Yup, you got the process right 😊

[@suthrngrlz7]

so patina or big top does not reactivate the paint?

[@JamiRayVintage]

It can, they are water based so it’s good to be careful on the first coat or two when everything is still fresh.

[@theresamerritt8798]

Do you put a heat resistance poxie on your server trays please let me know thank you

[@JamiRayVintage]

we did not, these are mostly for decor.

[@lesmeyer318]

We are just the same. I knew I liked you! I can't be in a room without looking for an escape route. Plus.. heights!!!! no no!

[@marycarper5634]

I think the base of the spindles would look good black...

[@brianhong4413]

Can you decoupage over IOD transfers?

[@JamiRayVintage]

Yeah you can layer the effects

[@christinawhisler]

How do you print out the papers

[@bethfilighera855]

What is boot camp?

[@greenyze]

Love your papers! Hey, so i don't know how the ads works but do you have any say in what ads play during your videos? Just thought you'd want to know that there was a rap video that played that had really vulgar language. I was just surprised KZbin allows those ads.

[@JamiRayVintage]

We don’t control that sadly.

[@greenyze]

@@JamiRayVintage that's what i figured but i just thought you should know

[@rhondablanchard2397]

Utube should not allow that rap or anything with vulgar language.

[@teresapack4788]

You can control that on your KZbin settings

[@meme7591]

Zeb quick question why didn't you put it on the side I should say the handle on the side of the tray and why did you put it on top?

[@JamiRayVintage]

That’s the style we’re going for. This style of cup pull would angle down weirdly and be difficult to hold on the sides.

[@debbienovack1578]

Well, the rooster tray turned out nice.

[@teresapack4788]

What are using instead of mod pog? What are you putting on the post before the decoupage

[@sandraking1544]

I'm looking for coastal theme and seashell papers, do you have any of those themes?

[@rennkay3291]

Next time , cut the music in bias strips and wind them up the pole...add a rose or two along the way.

[@aidamorales3329]

Hi luv it

[@tambij]

I can’t wait to buy your new “Decoupage Paper”. Are they for sale in the store? Can you purchase them per page? Or do you purchase by package? Thank You. I enjoyed this video Very Much :). So Inspiring!!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

We sell them per page. Zeb should have the store display up tomorrow.

[@debigorman4799]

He should put a rose vine over the music notes

[@frankieflexter3549]

I always use a piece of plastic wrap to smooth wet decoupage images.

[@yolandasalazar5518]

I'M JUST LEARNING. I BELIEVE IF YOU USE MOD PODGE (EASIER& BEST FOR DECOUPAGE ) TOP COAT GLOSS GOES ON SMOOTHLY AND ONLY NEED TO APPLY ONE LONG STROKE ONE WAY LET DRY AND APPLLY AGAIN IF NEED TOO. IVE HAD LUCK USING MOD PODGE. I'VE LEARNED A LOT FROM YOUR VIDEO TY

[@yolandasalazar5518]

I think if you sprayed top coat it wouldn't smudge.

[@JamiRayVintage]

We’ve used mod podge in the past. It’s ok. We prefer liquid patina, which we couldn’t find in our craft cabinet today! Lol.

[@spiritualrabbitt3765]

Have you ever approached TJMaxx or Marshall’s to sell your stuff?

[@lauratracy4033]

I live in Idaho Falls. Where are you? Where do I order your papers?

I am in lehi. You can order them at jamirayvintage.com/collections/jrv-paper

Re placement of your bird logo on the rolling pins... you should maybe place the bird on the opposite side so that the bird look towards your rolling pin and not outwards. The bird should always look at your product.
