I made GENIUS Napkin Decoupage DIY crafts on ODD items for a full day

[@aliciasauder3875]

I absolutely absolutely love your designs that makes even a 91 year-old and a 72-year-old woman able to do them thank you so much

[@thediystruggle]

I am so happy to hear that! Thank you!

[@kimstoner1772]

Ok, they were all cute, as usual, but that gnome was pretty intense 😳 ❤❤

[@Itsbinki71]

Without rewinding or looking at anyone else’s answer, I think you did five. The cow 1, pig 2, rooster 3, knome 4, ceramic book 5. Goodness me if I am totally wrong, but I didn’t expect a pop quiz today! I have to say this, if I didn’t decoupage or do any arts and crafts, I would still watch your videos!!!! Girl, your sense of humor aligns with mine, your laughter is infectious, and you are truly entertaining in every way! I have been meaning to tell you this for a long time; however, I watch your videos on my TV and admittedly, I have just been too lazy to pick up my phone so that I could leave a comment. You and the knome booty had me trippin’! 😂

[@thediystruggle]

You have no idea how much this comment fills my heart this morning!! I truly appreciate you taking the time to write this to me!!! My main goal is always just hearing people say even if they didn't craft, or they don't make this but they will watch whatever because it bring them joy!! No greater blessing to me other than knowing people get that out of watching the content no matter what it is!! Thank you

[@alisonhicks9298]

You must have had a rare zen day. We all know you have no patience...I can't believe the amount of work on the gnome alone...besides the other 6! (Yes, I count it at 7) Personally I ADORE the book. The way the raised areas "popped" ..to die for! Also enjoyed the new graphics. LOVED the dog lapping up water🤣🤣💕

[@thediystruggle]

I'm trying to talk normally and when I'm telling my story seeing is I can find a graphic or two to give small visuals!! Thanks you so much for noticing. I spent days editing this video!

[@MomCat03]

Brandi, you are always such a joy to watch! And by looking at some of the comments, you make a lot of people happy! Thanks for sharing your talents, ideas, and tips with us all, and leaving us all with something to smile about! Love your personality, you never disappoint!💕🌻🌾🐄🪻

[@melindaelizabeth9366]

Your gnome is phenomenal. Excellent work ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@leannemitchem8865]

Diy #1 The cutting looks so beautiful. I love thé napkins you used. Diy #2 That has to be the most beautiful gnome I’ve ever Diy #3 very pretty ceramic book. That napkin is so beautiful. Diy #4 Ok I would never have thought that putting napkins on those wood farm animals would be so gorgeous. I really have to do this for my granddaughter’s bedroom. I am loving your channel. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@thediystruggle]

[@thediystruggle]

It's coming next week libby..it's coming..lol

[@sheryltucker9048]

I really enjoyed this video! I was inspired to try different, odd things for decoupage! I think all of them were marvelous, but my favorite was the gnome and the book!! I think!!🤔🤔. Weelll, I really liked the cutting board, too!! Oh well, just say they were ALL my favorite!! 🤗🤗Thanks for sharing!! God bless!! ❤️❤️🙏🙏

[@thediystruggle]

Haha, I appreciate the honesty! I'm so happy you liked so many of them shery!!

[@franstoeckel2403]

Awesome Brandi. The Gnome is adorable. They are all beautiful. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@dochubbell]

Great projects. Think the Gnome was my fav. Like your facial images throughout your vids. You have a quirky sense of humor which adds a plus factor to your videos. 4 stars on this one.

[@melindaelizabeth9366]

7 for sure. Just the gnome should count for several 💜 You Go Girl 🎉

[@renayemcdougall7112]

Beautiful DIYs! My favorite was that darling gnome!! OMG! He is so cute!! ❤😊

Thank you! 😊

[@carolkovaleski6476]

Definitely 7 pieces. All of them are awesome. My favorite is definitely the book. Your ideas are so creative. Thanks as always Brandi. I look forward to watching your videos. 😊

[@mariaTsounakis1521]

The gnome booty😂. You are too funny!! Loved that book. The gold gilding wax just made it pop! 💗it! Ty!!

[@thediystruggle]

I totally agree! The book surprised me with how much I loved it!

[@queenoftheworld1]

I love hangin out with ya here Brandi. You’re so talented and I’ve learned a lot from you. 5 projects. 7 pieces. That’s my vote. 👍🏻

[@janieorantes]

You are definitely a decoupage PRO!! Your decoupage DIY'S are pure AWESOMENESS!! I just hope to be at least half as good as you someday. 🙂💞👍👍💯

[@nadinelockhart7711]

WOW you made something absolutely gorgeous with hardly any supplies!! Wow

[@shannabauer]

Hey Brandi! Was I ever tickled to see your gnome project. Someone gifted me a plaster gnome and I had No idea what to do with it. Ding, ding, ding. What a perfect idea!! Loved how yours turned out. All of the projects were wonderful and now I know not to try to hold the napkin on the gnome as I am figuring out the piecing. You keep on rockin' gal because we are all hanging in, watching and waiting for the next gut splitting, talk about it forever episode. Have a great weekend!

[@aliciasauder3875]

No, you got seven today and thank you. I’ve been looking for designs for the blue and white. Give it to my China hutch and I’ve got it now. Thank you so much, dear for your ideas and you were enthusiast

[@thediystruggle]

💙🧡❤️💚

[@terismidt4920]

My guess is 7 projects. I loved them all, but my favorite is the farm animals. You got me laughing when you were doing the gnomes tiny hiny. But when you said put the mod podge on top to bottom, I lost it on the "bottom." Thank you so much for the time you put in making these videos. I appreciate you and thank you for always making me giggle 😂 ❤

[@ginnyzellefrow1999]

Five projects eight pieces I think. Lol. I love all of them! ❤

[@debraadams2319]

The cutting board is stunning

[@melindaelizabeth9366]

Your cutting board turned out absolutely GORGEOUS 💜💜💜

[@junerobbins6871]

I love the breadboard. Its gourgeous !! I counted the last one as 3 individual pieces so I say 7.

[@christinacabbil9170]

❤❤YOU'RE THE BEST AND MOST CREATIVE DIY'R AT DECOUPAGE!

[@thediystruggle]

That means so much to hear!!! Thank you

[@user-gx1cb5qx5b]

I just “accidentally fell onto” your videos and you are fantastic! One reason I say that is you make everything so much fun and relaxing. Another reason is I think we may have been separated at birth (not really, don’t get worried!) since whatever you say sounds just like me - “que sera sera”. I’ve subscribed to your KZbin channel and look forward to your new videos while looking forward to watching your older videos. My husband and I got out of heavy debt by doing juried craft shows selling everything decorated with napkins and mod podge: glass vases, tissue box covers, and wine bottle lanterns with a napkin decoupaged on the inside with a candle, etc etc. Anything is possible!!! Thanks again.

[@thediystruggle]

Well hello sista from another mista...lol welcome!! So glad you found me friend!!! I love decoupage!!

[@user-gx1cb5qx5b]

Don’t worry (again) but is there a “bio” of you ought there floating around? Wish we we were neighbors so I could just come over and sit and chat and have an iced tea with you!!! Thanks.

[@thediystruggle]

I love tea!! I have a website. Thediystruggle.com And, a Q n A coming out Tuesday!! I hope that helps!! (Hugs)

[@vickiehughes9798]

BEAUTIFUL Butterfly project even with the sneaky layer lol

[@pamelamcdermott7716]

Oh, my word, Brandi. That gnome is gorgeous. The patience you have, and the details are amazing. I love them all, but the gnome is my favorite. I am going to try to do those farm animals. They are so cute. I say you did 7 pieces. Thank you for sharing your awesome talent. God Bless.

[@Spoillygirl]

Those are absolutely beautiful. My favorite is the cutting board. Thank you for sharing your amazing talents with us.💜💜

[@mandygeyer9100]

I’m by no means a gnome lover but I really loved the gnome you did

[@thediystruggle]

Yesss, if I can change a none gnome lovers mind. I must be doing something right..lol I'm so happy you liked it!!

[@lindamirise4240]

The sneaky layer! Errrrrrr! Just had it happen. It was on the small rolling pins from Hobby Lobby. I ended up scrubbing the sneaky layers off and starting over. It all turned out good with twice the work. I love the cutting board using different napkins and mediums. ❤

[@lauriemyers8510]

My favorite was the gnome. Just adorable. And you made 7 pieces.

[@gingerbug9927]

Total of 7, cause they were separate pieces, but was watching the chopping board I was like wwhhaatt, but I love it! I loved all of the, the little gnome was really cute, again thank you 🤗

[@DebBat0519]

I’ve watched people decoupage before, but have never seen anyone do it with this much detail. I am not really a gnome person, but was amazed at the way you decoupaged him. You are so creative. Thanks for sharing!❤️

[@thediystruggle]

This means a lot. I truly LOVE decoupage art! It is my happy place!!

[@carolefisher6489]

Thank you Brandy for all of your ideas and technique advice. I am so glad I found you. I think I viewed almost all of your videos and checked out your Amazon site. I am going to your own website shortly. I am a novice who simply loves doing decoupage as a "Yoga" inspired stress release. I never realized how much I enjoy creating art. I used your two napkin-infused decoupage on a wooden cross for my mom's room and a frame for my 5-year-old granddaughter who also enjoys creating art. You have given me so many practical ideas (practical is a keyword). PS: I ordered a few fan brushes; I used the same concept but with small brushes.

[@chandazargo2302]

Brandi, I love all 7 of your projects, what unique and gorgeous ideas. My favorite is the farm animals because I live farmhouse and that blue and white napkin! I bought some of those books after I saw you pick them up in your browsing video and I love what you did with it, so creative girl.

[@KelliHediger]

Liked all the projects. Especially the gnome. Thanks for sharing. I learned a few things I can't wait to try.

[@lylasway594]

You kill me....and you just have such a wonderful sense of humor and a great creative ability to make beautiful pieces ❤

[@dorisandujar8277]

The gnome is gorgeous and I can't imagine doing one like you did. This really shows your skill level. Before I started watching I was actually decoupaging a small glass jar from DT. I decided to fussy cut Autumn leaves and placed them individually around the jar. It looks beautiful . I keep in mind all that I've learned from you and I now use a fan brush. The cutting board is also gorgeous and the two napkins you used are stunning. Thank you again for sharing your awesome projects, tips and tricks.

[@terirachelsims8928]

You always do such creative and interesting decoupage projects!

[@GabyPerea]

As a child would, I’m dubbing the gnomie the name : sunflower 🌻 😊 for HOPEFULLY obvious reasons 😂 BUT that book....that book DEFINITELY took home #1 DIY for me today. It was BEAUTIFUL! Also, love the commentary as usual. I had a 💩(who gave a sh*t a smile?!? Sry, just wtff ! 😂) but you made me smile n laugh so TY!!❤
