How come no one taught me about this amazing product that is Mod Podge! And how come no one teaches you do deal with things like getting napkins onto slanted pots!! 🤣🤣🤣

Nice work but I have a couple of suggestions for you. To get a more natural look, try tearing away most of the white part of the napkin and the image will look more like it's been painted on. Also, water down your mod podge a bit. It will make it go further and is much easier to apply. Ordinary pva or school glue can also be used, also watered down.

@ferrets4 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks, I have done that on some metal plant pots, it works well if you cut close to the design, but with these pots I wanted to use the whole napkin.

@ferrets4 Жыл бұрын

Thank you :) Yes, I found that if you avoid strong sunlight they fare better, three years on and mine are starting to look a bit sad but they’re still usable. I think if you could put them in a shed for the winter and use in the spring, summer and autumn they’d probably last better. Several coats of varnish also helps!

I do find that some napkins are better than others. Wash it off and have another go, don't give up, it'll be worth it in the end. Maybe start with a smaller pot too.
