@pattihiggens9108 Жыл бұрын

It has been my experience and KNOWLEDGE that you DO NOT want to use wax paper - you want to use parhment paper between your iron and your napkin - That way there is no chance of burning anything in case you want to /need to iron the project more than you thought you needed or wanted to - ALSO, you can use mod podge and nthen adhere your napkin on wet or dry as you showed OR you can put plastic wrap on top of your box or card or whatever item your are working on and then place napkin or paper (keep smooth and be sure you do not allow plastic wrap too close to iron or it will melt onton your iron). Once you have this "sandwich" made, put large enough piece of parchment paper to cover your project with approx. a few inches LARGER that your project. Iron with a DRY iron at highest heat and keep ironing untill occasional checks shows that it is COMPLETELY adherd to project. Continue with whatever way you feel you want to do it.

Brandi, this video is wonderful!!! Lots of great info! I absolutely love decoupaging and mod podge is what I use. However, despite my “experience” (lol), I’ve learned a lot from watching how you do it. That dry sponge thing is a gift from above. It makes a huge difference! The only time a sponge has been more useful has been when used as a contraceptive. 🤣🤣🤣 I’m kidding, don’t block me please lol! I remember the first time I tried mod podging. I asked a crafty coworker how much I should use and she suggested the same amount as when doing paper mache. Can you imagine??? Girl, I was covered in mod podge…my paper was practically a soggy ball of wrinkly disintegration…and my mood was quite poor indeed. 😂😂😂 She must have hated me and I didn’t even know it. 😝 Thanks for the tips and tricks! Sending all kinds of love and happy thoughts! 🌼🍃💛

Brandi, this is such a wonderful decoupage video !!!👍👍I'm getting a sponge tomorrow! Last year 3 of us got together & took wooden words( blessed. gather , etc.) & decoupaged them, then lit the extra paper with a lighter, which burned right up to the exact edge of the letters!!They turned out soo good! It worked! Use with tissue paper & napkins on wood ONLY!!! We had a Lil wine & tried scrapbook paper , we almost started a 🔥! Kept a bucket of water close by then !!..ha ha Thanks for all the tips & tricks!!! Great job!! Be safe & TFS, my talented friend ❤!!

Thank you Connie! I am so happy I could help with new information....Oh yes, This is what I was saying in the video about a burn method for removing the extra napkin. I looked into that and its just not my cup of tea. I burned a few napkins on some furniture for a vintage farmhouse look and those bits get a little braisen and sometimes fly where ever...lol This is THE DIY STRUGGLE....lol I do not need EXTRA help trying to burn my DIY's down I almost do that enough...lol.. It is totally a cool concept and I appreciate the people who have mentioned it, it is just not for me...lol That is awesome you and your friends get together and do that. Mine all think it is my job to cook for them when we gather..lol

Thank you so much, Brandi, for your great little tips! I have never used a sponge, but looks like it worked beautifully! Have you ever watched Patio Elf? She has been my decoupage person for a long time and creates gorgeous pieces. Of course, you do too, my friend 💕🌻
