Wooden Decoupage Earrings

[@49carol]

I’m a beginner and so far, your videos are my favorite. You explain it really well.

I am a beginner on making earrings, video look so easy your step by step show me lot thank you very much

Hello, I don't know if you were aware of this very sad news, but Wendy passed away August 29th in 2023 at age 49 from a motorcycle accident while on her way to the beach to do something that she very much enjoyed & that was beach combing. I was very saddened when I got this news, I loved watching her videos, what a sweet lady she was & very creative too. I even watched her funeral services at her hometown Church, although it was very sad, I felt better being able to attend her services online. I am glad that her videos are still available on KZbin. I had written to her here a few times & the very last time, I had told her that I also have a dog named Sadie, she replied back, who would have ever known something so horrible would happen to such a wonderful person, I will never forget about her & I still make some of her creations.

[@tori1039]

This is my first time watching your videos, and " well aren't you special 'she sure thought she was' " made me follow you and of course how beautiful these earrings are i love honest and real creators!

[@wandadunn1803]

Thank you for the Mod Podge remark… I don’t know why but it drives me crazy when people come on You Tube doing tutorials and keep saying “Modge” Podge over and over. I guess we all have our pet peeves 😊

[@patriciamcneill6853]

I've seen them holding the container up,looking at it, and still say "MODGE PODGE"!😢 I have to turn the channel!

[@AveMaria-js9bu]

These earrings are BEAUTIFUL! Your hand is so steady and cut those shapes out so well, I'm impressed.

[@texasgigi3684]

I loved all of these. I liked how they were all different from each other. You’ve got an eye for design. Plus, you’re messy like me! Lol

[@SonjaColeman-b9m]

I 'm a beginner and you showed me a lot thanks you very much. With different kinds of paper I just liked it very much will make some soon. Yes it will make a good Mother's Day gift. You do explain your work very well. Again thanks God Bless

[@natalieharrison4318]

Thanks for sharing this beautiful jewelry creation with me. I've had some wooden pendants that have all ready been stained. Now u gave me a wonderful idea to do something with them finally. Thanks for sharing your talents with me.

Wonderful!

[@patriciamcneill6853]

I've been watching your tutorial! I was trying to decide whether or not to purchase those from Amazon! I think now I will!I have always used DOLLAR TREE nail polishes to decorate my handmade earrings! Gonna try them your way way next time!

[@51andhappy44]

I am just now finding this video and watching it for the first time. I really like listening to her as she created! Also, in the same day, I have come to learn that Wendy is no longer with us. Do you know the backstory? That makes me so sad! I found her and never got a chance to get to watch her when she was alive!

[@lindamatthews5055]

Suppose to stir stain. Shaking cause bubbles. Love the earrings. I would like to try them. Glad I found your channel. Look forward to seeing more. . P.s. I know on the stain because I had that happen to me doing cabinets. I found out later suppose to stir. Fun in learning.

[@MsJoanne6]

They are all beautiful. Can't wait to make some.

[@texasgina]

The jewelry crafting world was robbed when Wendy left to Heaven. I wish I would've found her KZbin channel before she passed away so she could've seen all of the comments on here from all of us new people that have found her KZbin channel. she was such a sweet person there's not many other KZbin channels that I will sit and watch a really long video and I love Jody too she's amazing

[@doggmopp]

These are all gorgeous! My favorites are the wood stained with gold. I love that you share so many new techniques that I have not tried. It makes me wan to try something new!

[@thisbeadedlife]

Haha I want to try it all! I need to focus more I think : )

[@karinasulger7829]

these earrings are sweet!!! love each pair !! when it comes to sanding paper, hold the piece still in ur hand , and use the sander to move , but start at the side that u want to show and only go downwards toward the bottom , this will give u a sharp clean cut look to ur piece , hope that helps , ty for sharing ur amazing talents with us all !!

Thanks for that tip!!

Love these earrings! I will try to make some....🙃

[@PrinceCharmThings]

Those came out really cute! When I sand the uneven edges off, I use either a sanding block like yours or an emery board but I sand it from the front to the back but on an angle so that I am only sanding the very edge where the paper and the wood meet.

[@thisbeadedlife]

Great tip! Thank you!

[@nativeandindigenuscraftcre433]

Hi Wendy thanks for the video and it good to do some thing different once in a while if they were stone or bone or glass they would be good for middle of a rosette or medallion but paper and wood not so mush also I do use mode pudge before it for stiffing my own felt com bow of tacky glue and mode pudge with little bite of water that what I use for colors that you can't get in already stiff felt but for bigger beaded projects I use vary stiff pellon and it bite thick then pellon 70 just letting you know that you can use mode podge for paper on top of felt it one for those tradition's that I take on lately

[@Doxymeister]

That's a good idea. I tried heavy-duty spray starch--it worked okay but it's not as stiff as I'd like. I'll try your idea!

If the stain is watery thin like that it might be caked on the bottom, you should try a wooden stick to loosen it up a bit, I had stain that was years old that I was unable to loosen up, tossed out to recycle center and bought a smaller new can! They make craft stain you can get at Michaels. It's sold where all the painting supplies are.

[@thisbeadedlife]

Thank you ! Great info. I didnt think of that : )
