Top 5 Decoupage tips to avoid Wrinkles w Napkins!

[@catloversue]

This lady is a genius. I have started decoupaging and was trying to decoupage a bottle and was getting frustrated as I could not get the wrinkles out and then I saw this video using the cling film and my decoupage came out brilliantly! Thank you so much!

[@lipstickprincess1]

That has got to be the best intro I have seen in my entire life!!!!!

[@clarecoventry3441]

Where do you get the grass effect napkins, please

[@IanMcKinney83]

Right!! lol

[@chunkychica1376]

I know right!!!...I can't wait for the sequel 😁

Thanks for the sharing

[@hollyrandall1334]

First time using decoupage and was about to ruin a project when I came across your tip about using an iron. It's now flawless!!!! Soooo happy... THANK YOU!

[@gabrisstitches8038]

Ive never done decoupage and came across your channel by chance - I’m a convert! I’ve just subscribed, not only I find it useful but I love the way you talk, great to listen to.

[@lynelerockwell1095]

Excellent tutorial! I am so glad I bought all those paper napkins over the years without a clue what to do with them. I know what will keep me busy when I run out of shells to glue on mirrors, frames and pots!

[@dianamulroney1532]

What a wonderful introduction video for those of us who are new to decoupage. Thank you.

[@JLGW993]

Your video was wonderful and quite helpful. I've been redoing some of my old flower pots and wished I had seen your video before I decoupaged them. They look ok, but they could have had less wrinkles. Thank you.

[@pattylovescrafting5544]

Fantastic tips and video, thank you! I’ve decoupaged once on a few smooth garden rocks and they still look great. I’m not sure why I haven’t done anything else but after watching your awesome tips I will definitely try other items. I was not aware that using the links helped support these videos and will make sure to use them, thanks for making me aware.

[@sherroncoffeyhardin8241]

Patti, I decided to try the iron on method with my napkin and to my surprise I had NO wrinkles. I was struggling with my napkin until I did the iron on method. Thanks for the video. I was doing this over a jewelry box and the top was flat. So it worked like a charm. Have a blessed day!

[@caronward4042]

I love your style of teaching-- not a lot of idle chit-chat, just great information. Also, the projects are just divine! Thank you!

[@bluewren2]

you are being derisive right?

[@racoonsister]

one thing I have found with the flat canvas, its good when they do separate like that, after I decorate/paint/decoupage, I cut the canvas off the cardboard backing, then seal it, then you can actually use it like fabric and make really cool totes and such, just a happy accident I came across while painting.

[@sunnydazewithdawn350]

Oh my goodness...my friend had just asked me today if I have ever decoupaged before. I said yes as a kid. Low and behold I came across your video. So full of tips and techniques. I think I may try it. I had no idea about using napkins. I always see beautiful napkins and hate to use them as napkins because they are so pretty. Now I know what to do!! Love it.

[@patioelf]

Thank you and I'm with you, I hate to use these beautiful napkins that I have for anything but decoupage. Ebay is actually a great source for napkins from all over the place. You only buy 2 of them at a time which costs a lot less and most of them have free shipping. :)

[@1DarlingTexas]

Thank you for your informative video. I just finished my very first project using decoupage on some dresser drawers and they came out gorgeous! What I didn't expect were the incredibly heavy fumes from the glue! OMGosh we had to open windows and it was horrible so I am definitely in search of a new glue that will not curl the ends of my hair and have me twirling lights at a rave concert! lol! Thanks again!

Hey Miss Lady, I love your projects and your instructions. You are a true teacher. I will make some of your designs. Can't wait to do them. Thank you for sharing, live. 😊

[@WAlycia]

Thanks for the tips, I always thought I had to paint my bottle before applying my napkin. I now see it turns out nicely without painting first.

[@pattic8473]

Thank you for these useful tips. This will help us decoupage "newbies" keep the frustration level down to a minimum.

[@portiankosi9128]

Wow This is the first video I have watched that was s thorough in explaining the does and don'ts. Simply loved it. Thank you for all your hard work and sharing so unselfishly your past mistakes and lessons learnt. God bless.

[@reenougle]

Very interesting. Love the saran wrap info. There are so many beautiful napkins out there. Just for future reference, it is OK to say 79 or 80 degrees Celsius. You don't need the extra. 444444!

[@christinemcgovern2849]

She's the best! The Saran Wrap really does WORK! I've been doing that method for years!

[@golikaviani5879]

79 and all those 4s. That was so funny. Made my day. Great video.

[@bernie3848]

How many minutes In the stove? Thank you!

[@annezweifel3348]

I watched your video where you showed us how to decoupage onto a clay pot, a flat coaster and a basket. I have never seen it done before where the napkin is placed face down onto the plastic wrap. Ingenious!! Thank you.

[@avianlezama8075]

So I just wanted to say thank you... I never did decoupage before and after watching your video I did my first one with the parchment method and it came out perfect... Like I seriously think I found a new favorite art form... I wish I could share a picture but if I can I don't know how .. I actually bought Americana napkin decoupage glue and it worked really well . I have the Viva one coming in a few days... My daughter loves frozen so I made a frozen napkin image on canvas. It looks amazing.... Thank you thank you thank you for the tutorial!!!!!

Thanks so much for sharing, your are so good at teaching this lesson on doing this, I just can never do it without Tearing are wrinkles. Thank you for sharing, I hope to try this again. You’ve done it so beautiful. Now if I can find some pretty napkins, have a problem finding any pretty ones. Thanks again. Gorgeous work,👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️

Best decoupage tutorial I’ve ever seen!

[@colleenjohnson4116]

Love that crab bottle, so cute! Great job!

[@lemolea9571]

Thank you! I've seen a bunch of really pretty decopage projects on the internet before and wanted to try it out for myself, but decopage paper from the craft store is so unreasonably expensive! So I decided to just grab some pretty napkins, figuring it would work just fine, but I really struggled getting it to look right. This video helped so much, thanks!

[@Riverside_Homestead_Off_Grid]

I like the real live videos. You did it very good. Dogs and cats and other background noise are not disturbing in anyway. And your tipps are great! 💖 I like to give it a try and want to order my first colours and brushes. I want to create beautiful things with my hands. I think, it can help me relaxing.

[@janawest7186]

Oh wow!, great tip on getting wrinkles out!, thank you! I’m new to this! I appreciate your help!

[@Piperjones12]

I asked you about this in 2017. Here's what works best for me. I use Mod Podge to apply, and when dry I literally dust the decal area with a light mist of clear acrylic spray and that completely seals it and stops all wrinkling and bubbles from applying a top wet coat. After that is dry, you then apply more Mod Podge or whatever you like on top. Easier and faster.

[@sueshanks9447]

Good tips ! specially the seran wrap and dry application !

[@wendyshort3629]

All of your work is well done and they are all Beautiful

[@fafazib]

[@gebswife]

I have been very uncertain about starting decoupage projects because my inexperience. I have watched several videos on decoupage and I fully believe that your tutorial is the BEST one out there. I can’t wait to begin in my flower pots. I didn’t know that you could do that. Or on glass. You have opened up a new world for me. I also love your sense of humor and have shared this wonderful video. Thank you for sharing your wealth of wisdom. Have a blessed day.

The Saran Wrap is an amazing technique!!!! 🙌🏻

[@dodieangeltarot5972]

I use PVA glue which is very very cheap to buy in the UK and is used for lots of craft work and it works wonderfully . I loved your podcast so thank you for sharing

[@janicebradford6231]

I love everything you did. I decided today was the day to try decoupage today. I’ve already messed up a picture on a glass ornament. It’s okay, it did finally wash off so I will start over tomorrow. I put a second coat of Modpodge and you are supposed to wipe the back off the picture with a wet sponge. I learned a lot from your video. I live the flower pot.I’m going was to try all of your suggestions . I’ll let you know outcome. Thanks for this fantastic video. It’s nice to know I can come back her for reference. Janice

[@FrannySly]

I really enjoyed this as I am new at this. I'm with you on the Viva products.

[@ritag4432]

Nice job, and so detailed in the techniques used. You've opened a whole new world of art for me!

[@fortierdawn]

Wonderful video. Very helpful tips. Thank you for sharing. I wish you linked the napkins used in the video. I love the roses with the birds napkins.

[@belgiumgirl8970]

Very very Easy to follow especially for us beginners. I really needed the step by step on different materials so thank you👍😊

[@saltlifegull4091]

Thank God, someone who knows what they're doing. I've been a hit and miss with wrinkles. Geeeezeeee! Appreciate your tips and am going to get some of that glue. Yes, Modge Podge just makes wrinkles. Matte finish, you're right, not gloss. Thank you! Keep up the great work sharing your talent. QUESTION: What's the difference in using Elmer's glue for decoupage? Amazon is out of the glue:(

[@charlottehetherington8720]

All the projects were very beautiful

great tips with the suran wrap really good tip thank you and the plantpot looks lovely when finished thank you.

[@Hofberg.artadvisory]

Great video. Any time your canvas or flat surface warps due to heat, spray or wipe the back with a very small amount of water. For instance, if you use a rag, just barely dampen it. Then turn the object over, and it will warp the other way until it’s straight.

[@gaylegrimes8518]
