I gave it a shot, the mod poge was great ( a little expensive but that’s okay)!! I used wax paper and didn’t do a backing which if I had done so, would be better! Done the back wit poge as well! Turned out great! Was a puzzle of the fifties! Thanks again!

I find wax paper, neatly scotch taped with 1 or 2 inch overlaps very affordable, effective and available at any supermarket.

[@madelinejeanantiquesrestor9074]

I prefer the parchment paper over wax paper mainly because the wax paper will stick to the puzzle and then you have to remove it. This can be very time consuming. Just my two cents.

We pretty much did the same technique but I use an old credit card to scrape the extra clue after I applied it. It came out smooth. We also opted to use a lawn size trash bag underneath the puzzle while working on it. So when I was time to glue it. It wouldn’t get our card table dirty

I get how you put the modpod, varnish, all good, But how do you put the tape in the other side before you varnish? will the pieces come undone?

[@lonelyman3505]

My dad helped me with it we used cardboard and we aligned it with the table then pushed the puzzle on the cardboard. we used another one to put on top of the puzzle so we can flip it.

[@sharonraquel2669]

So, did I miss something? How did you get the packing tape on the back? You put it on before the Mod Podge, it seems. How do you apply it evenly when the puzzle pieces can separate? I'm lost here:-(

[@madelinejeanantiquesrestor9074]

Sorry for the confusion. Yes her dad put on the packing tape before hand. Since this video my daughter and I did another puzzle and this is how we managed to apply the Mod Podge to BOTH sides. Take parchment paper and cut off enough paper to go under your puzzle. Make sure to cut off extra paper on both ends by a few inches. You will need to glide the parchment paper under the back side of your puzzle and pull it out to the to the other side. This will take some time and patience. I had to jiggle the paper a little bit back and forth to get it to move and slide under the puzzle. Once you pull the parchment paper thoroughly under your puzzle you can apply the mod podge over the front side of your puzzle. The puzzle won't stick to the parchment paper. Once the puzzle dries you can flip it onto the shower curtain and then apply the mod podge to the back side of your puzzle.

Hi , witch mod podge do you use ? The matte or thé gloss ? Thanks in advance

[@randomthings1927]

She used the gloss one (based off of the color of the jar- gloss is reddish orange and matte is yellow). Either one would work for a puzzle, it’s all personal choice! If you want a glossy finish use the glossy one, if you want a matte look use the matte! Hope this helped! 😊

[@jusalitlesassy]

So do you use the mod podge matte? Because I have the puzzle saver and I’m wondering what gives the best lacquer the best luster because I have seen on KZbin that people use regular school glue and I feel like it dims the shine

[@madelinejeanantiquesrestor9074]

I used a satin finish sheen. You are correct regular glue does dim the shine. Mod Podge or other decoupage mediums are far superior to white glue recipes. Decoupage mediums have more ingredients than ordinary white glue, including sealers and different varnishes, making them better for long lasting projects.

[@paulapedlar3778]

Hi Bethany....your videos are very informative and you do it in a way that keeps my attention, so thanks for all your help. During these times I’ve done every project I can think of around my house. The latest one, I’ve put contact paper on my old Formica kitchen countertops. It’s black marble with whiteish veins. I want to put a topcoat on it to seal the seams and give it a glossier look. Do you have any advice on which topcoat to use? My first thought was epoxy....scary....then I thought about Polycrylic..today I was thinking maybe Mod Podge. Then I came across your videos and thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask you!! Thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have!!

[@madelinejeanantiquesrestor9074]

Hi Paula!!!! I'm so glad you are enjoying my videos! I think it's great people are being creative and knocking off their DIY projects around the house. In regards to your kitchen counter tops...how did you adhere the contact paper to your counter tops? You probably already know this but whatever top coat you choose needs to be extremely durable. Epoxy would be a smart choice but it's expensive and takes some time to learn how to work with it. I've only done small crafts with epoxy. Polycrylic while water based isn't the best option for extreme durability. For example, on all my coffee table tops, dresser tops and kitchen table tops I would not recommend Polycrylic. While it does offer good protection it's not the best choice for high traffic surfaces like those. That's why I sand/stain those areas and use an oil based poly instead. I would look into a polyurethane of some sort. You said the contact paper is black with white marble correct? The only con to applying a polyurethane product it may yellow those white marble areas. I know you don't want that happening. I may have to research this some more.

[@paulapedlar3778]

Madeline Jean Antiques & Restoration, LLC The contact paper was self adhesive, so that’s all I used to adhere them to the countertops. They adhered just fine, but I did have some seams that I want to be sure stay down. I would like a glossier finish, but that’s second to making sure the seams stay down. I’m very nervous about the epoxy application, but that is the way I’d like them to look. I painted the countertops several years ago, and just applied the contact paper over that. The painted countertops did great. I’m very careful and never damaged the painted countertops, however, I had a fire and they needed to be upgraded. So I went with the contact paper instead of paint again. I’ve researched google for weeks trying to find out which way I should go and when I found your videos, for the first time I could see light at the end of the tunnel....if you come up with any other ideas, I’d certainly appreciate your thoughts!!! Looks like you and your family are keeping busy while still having fun. God bless you all and stay safe.

[@lisamichele5286]

What kind of tape do you use on the back? Did you say 'packing' tape in the video?

[@madelinejeanantiquesrestor9074]

Yes her dad placed packing tape on the back. I don't normally do that. I wiggle wax paper underneath and apply Mod Podge to both sides.

[@riptidewilly6264]

Did you use a gloss or matte mod podge ?

[@madelinejeanantiquesrestor9074]

This was a matte finish. Looks glossy when you apply it but dries matte.

[@ceceliamosher2620]

I am just curious as to why you are on the floor and doing this on carpet. Why not the kitchen table or kitchen counter since you have protection under it? It seems to me it would be more of a stable and flat surface. The technique looks very easy.

[@madelinejeanantiquesrestor9074]

This room was my make shift workshop. The carpet is scrap carpet from Lowes. No worries if we spill anything. Also, this house was a rental and the kitchen was infested with mice. Not kidding. I had to call the building inspector in town. I was never able to use the kitchen cabinets because they were full of mice poop and we could hear them.

[@ANASTASIAVERGETZI3]

Can I use any white glue?

[@madelinejeanantiquesrestor9074]

Technically you can but Mod Podge combines an adhesive with a lacquer. It not only holds the puzzle together it provides a protective gloss finish that dries clear. Regular glue may dry cloudy.

Sarah Brisebois I plan on bringing our glued puzzles to Hobby Lobby to get them framed. I just figured it’s easier this way. We just glued our second puzzle the other day. This is what I did different this go round. I slide parchment paper under the puzzle first. This took some patience but I was able to manage it myself. Just have to shimmy the parchment paper. I would not recommend wax paper. The puzzle will stick to wax paper. Use parchment paper. Then I applied the Mod Podge. Once dried I flipped the puzzle over on to the shower curtain and applied Mod Podge on the back side. Super easy! No sticking whatsoever.

[@madelinejeanantiquesrestor9074]

I guess it depends what you colored your puzzle with and how long you have let it dry. Maybe seal it with a clear coat spray before you glue it. That way the color gets sealed in before you apply the glue. Just a thought.

This took a little bit of patience but I was able to pull the parchment paper from one side of the puzzle to the other side. Once I had the parchment paper under the puzzle I applied the mod podge to the front side of the puzzle. Once that dried I was able to flip the entire puzzle on to the shower curtain and applied the mod podge to the back side. SUPER EASY and no clean up!

nyahmanis mommy Get parchment paper and slide it under the puzzle. I did that with our last puzzle because I couldn’t get the shower curtain under the puzzle because it was on this table with edging. Basically it wouldn’t work. Definitely don’t use wax paper because the puzzle will stick and you’ll spend a lot of time picking the wax paper off. Use parchment paper. Wiggle it from one end to the next THEN apply your first coat of mod podge. Once dried carefully flip over onto a clear shower curtain and apply the mod podge to the back.

How did you tape the back though?

[@madelinejeanantiquesrestor9074]

I"m not entirely sure how my ex managed to tape the back. I did glue another puzzle and this is how we tackled it. I took parchment paper ( found in the baking section at most grocery stores or near the zip loc bags). I tore off a large piece of the parchment paper. I made sure the parchment paper I selected was longer than the puzzle I would be gluing. So if my puzzle was 24 inches in length I cut off a 30 inch piece long of parchment paper. You want it longer than your puzzle. I then took the parchment paper and glided it under my finished puzzle. This takes some patience. Just wiggle it back and forth and shimmy it until it comes out on the other side of your finished puzzle. It will I promise. After the parchment paper is completely under your puzzle you can then apply your first coat of the Mod Podge on the front of your puzzle. Once that side is dry, then you should be able to easily flip the puzzle onto the shower curtain and then apply Mod Podge to the back of your puzzle. I hope this made sense.

[@YenCrew]

Quality time with you children is essential & therefore always awesome to see. If I may suggest. Two preferred options I'd advise to go with are epoxy resin or craft glue. 1- Epoxy Resin. Glue puzzle to back support (hard wood, cardboard). Keep leveled, raise puzzle & pour resin, it will self level, allow to cure & just like that. Amazing preserved puzzle you can mount. 2- Craft glue. Glue puzzle to back support (hard wood, cardboard or not, it's not absolutely necessary). Use an old credit card, i.d. or any flat edge item to trial the glue over the whole puzzle. Allow to cure & it's as strong for you to store or display as you want. **Not saying your approach was bad or wrong. Just that these two methods have been proven, that's all. Other specific "puzzle glues" don't hold up or cure with as good of a result. These processes & prices are friendly as well.** Great job though. Happy New Year! Be blessed 😊

[@madelinejeanantiquesrestor9074]

Thank you for the added suggestions! Never thought of those methods as well. So far the mod podge is holding up. We even moved into a new house since this video and had to move the puzzle.

[@madelinejeanantiquesrestor9074]

If that works for you great. I haven't had much success with it. Elmer's glue isn't quite the same as Mod Podge, it's just glue, and while Mod Podge is a type of glue, it's also a sealant and this has important consequences for durability.

I expected the dog to roll on it.

[@madelinejeanantiquesrestor9074]

HAHAHA! Knowing Biscuit I'm surprised it didn't happen.

[@JayZoop]

No doubt that is durable. I saw a lady just use two coats of glue on both sides. A glue that dries clear.

[@madelinejeanantiquesrestor9074]

We've had repeated success with using ModPodge on every puzzle we glue. Dries clear too.

Learning to replace carpet is also a good use of time.

[@madelinejeanantiquesrestor9074]

Oh I've never embarked on replacing carpet. That sounds stressful!

[@feliciabernal7289]

Replacing carpet is construction , not crafting.😅 Plus much more expensive.

🤣😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀☠

[@AngelaJeanBarr]

MOD Podge....... Please say it correctly. 😬

[@madelinejeanantiquesrestor9074]

I'm one of those people if I hear a word wrong (I have some hearing loss and slight stuttering) and I start to pronounce it wrong I have a hard time correcting myself. I knew after I recorded this video I pronounced it wrong throughout. I was hoping people could overlook it.

[@300zxdriver]

You totally over did this project.

[@UnrefinedDiamond]

You are beautiful!

[@madelinejeanantiquesrestor9074]

Oh thank you!

[@madelinejeanantiquesrestor9074]

I'm aware you are like the 100th person to point it out.

[@sf9046]

That floor is so dirty, yikes.

[@madelinejeanantiquesrestor9074]

Yikes. It's my workshop floor. It's okay that it's dirty.

[@kaleltheyoungboul5488]

Your puzzle is mad mid cuh

I would consult a doctor about your problem.
