+rubymimosa Thank you so much. You can see I've been remiss in answering my youtube comments for a few days, but things are calming down now and I'm so happy to see you here again! Thank you, and that's a great idea for keepsake quilts! Working on tomorrow's video now. :) Patti

+Mimi Zabela Thank you so much Mimi! Patti

anna eidson sounds great. love the checker board

That is a great story to read Anna! I'm so happy that worked out for you. Isn't it amazing what a little decoupage can do? As far as the oven, as long as the plates are never cold (like if they are being stored outside in the fall or winter) you should be fine putting them into any oven that's set to 175 or less. The reason I put them into a cold oven is more because of the timing (in addition to taking that extra step so they don't break) But what I do is put it into a cool oven and turn it on, by the time the oven is warmed up, the plate has warmed up (and dried) that much sooner, I then turn the oven off and leave it in for a little bit-by the time I'm done everything is dry. :) Thank you Anna, I loved reading your success story! Patti

Thank you Cynthia, don't you miss that show? Patti

Thank you ! It's my pleasure to share.. Patti

Thank you Sharon, and you will have fun, there are so many fabrics out there too! Patti

Have done 3 simple projects in the past week, one already left via my daughter who just had to have it! The plate will be coming soon. Thanks Pattie 😊

That's so sweet about your daughter. That is very high praise right? I think plates are some of my favorite things to do, I want to do one for Christmas. :) Patti

Oh yes, high praise indeed. She is quite intrigued with my return to creative and artistic ventures. I look forward to the time when my skills are ready for plate decorating, just a beautiful item!!

You will be there in no time Sharon. You will love what you're able to do with decoupage too. :) Patti

+Lee Tyndall-Jones thank you for the tip Lee! Patti

YOU'RE VERY WELCOME!

+Vickie Murray Thank you Vickie! Patti

+Leo's Universe aww, thank you for saying both. :) Patti

+Irma Brooks That's great Irma, thank you! That's what I aim to do. :) Patti

+patioelf Can you believe I went to JoAnn fabrics to get the dishwasher safe mod podge and I ask one of the employees for help cause I couldn't find it. I told her they have one that is dishwasher safe, (she had no clue) Long story short, they apparently didn't have it which she said they carry ALL of them. So I bought the one with this same color label but it doesn't say dishwasher safe?? They had one with a purple label that said it was for glass but not dishwasher safe, it was a bummer visit to JoAnn fabrics.

Irma Brooks I hate when that happens! I have gone into craft stores asking for something, they say they don't carry it, I FIND it then go up to them and say, "Is this the one you don't carry?" LOL I do carry it on my website if you want Irma.I thought that they made the labels color coded depending on which Modpodge you got. If you got the one with the same color label, does that one say dishwasher safe? It might say it on the back. Patti

+patioelf I usually show them I found it also so they at least know they have it. I was thinking maybe the label was mismarked but I got on their web sight and found they had the dishwasher safe one with the same color label. I will probably order it off amazon. Thx Patti.

+Deneen Lotz I am SO enjoying this weather. Enough to take down the Christmas lights, LOL. So you are like me (are we surprised?) having material but not sewing. :) I had heard of that Mod Podge but I was so paranoid about doing the work then having it fall apart in the dishwasher. I like it! Enjoy your day too Deezie! Patti

4 inch x 4 inch squares rather, not feet. That would be one big plate.

Hi Laurie and thank you so much, I loved reading that! That is a great idea to let it dry first...I am usually in a mad rush to get the steps done while I'm making the video. I think it's a better idea to let it dry, then cut it. I tend to have a jagged edge when I cut regardless, so a lot of times I end up using ribbon, twine or jute around the outside if not just some copper tape (like they use for stained glass) around the outsides to cover up my edges. :) Patti

LOL, I didn't even notice that. :) Patti

You can always buy it from Amazon.

Thank you! There are some beautiful fabrics out there aren't there? Patti

Seems to be! I see others finding it but I have not found any yet! Thank you for sharing :)

do any of these appeal to you? amzn.to/2cnlNR8 Patti

They are all very pretty! Love the turquoise blue with the tiny flowers.. that is my favorite one! The yellows are also very pretty! They don't make much shabby chic in lavender or purple do they? That is my favorite color and I never seem to find much in that color :( But I do like turquoise & yellow also! Maybe when I can get some spending money for these I see about getting me some! Thank's.. Hugs :)

My pleasure Tammy...There are a few items in a shabby chic style with a very soft soft lavender but you're right, in general it's the pink hues, whites and cream colors with very pale greens. :) Patti

+Farmers Granddaughter I am so sorry I just got your message today, I don't normally take this long to respond. Are you looking for the tiny glass squares to put back there or are the larger 4 x 4 tiles going to be in there. The reason I ask is because I do have a video on doing tiles, and I'm wondering if this might help you. There's a product called Triple Thick /it comes in a paint on form -it's clear-or a spray. It's the highest gloss top coat out there unless you were to use a 2 part resin top coat. The 2 part resin requires some practice -you can look up videos here on youtube for that if it interests you. Here's the video on the tiles. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fd5-ocqe27-6YYE.html There is also a page called Mason Jar Madness and Decoupage on Facebook-if you friend them please tell them that I sent you. There are so many helpful people there, you could pose this question to them also.Then you will get a lot of different suggestions. :) Patti

+V Valencia exactly....I hope you give it a try, you'll probably be very happy with the outcome. :) Patti

+Jazz Martin Thank you! Patti

+Rebekka Birgirsdottir Satejeff aww, so sweet of you to say Rebekka, thank you! Patti

+Josephine Tyree Thank you Josephine! And welcome to my channel! Patti

That is the sweetest idea Karen! For the back you can just add a few more layers of the decoupage glue until it feels smooth to you. (you would want to sand it on the final coat-and it won't take as long to dry each coat since it's going to be sitting on top of the prior coat of decoupage glue and not absorbing into the fabric. ) Patti

My pleasure Aidaliz! Thank you! Patti

+w0rk0fG0d Hi and thank you! One thing you need to be careful about is using lace. I shopped and shopped for cotton lace and it was hard to find. Most laces are heat sensitive and the dishwasher water gets very hot-the lace may shrink or melt. If you're using it just for decoration you could probably do use the lace-I'm guessing you wouldn't be using it for food if you're going to have the lace on it though. You can then just use regular decoupage glue or fabric decoupage glue. :) Patti

+patioelf I was planning on using it as a decorative piece. I found the lace after a yard sale - it was on a very beautiful bassinet that wasn't sold and just sitting on the curb for the trash! It is so lovely but I also don't know how to sew so I'm saving it for a very special project. =D

That's great! Don't you love when you find a gem like that? Trash? The people clearly were not crafters. :) I'm so happy you took it in, and I'm with you....I don't sew but there are so many beautiful fabrics out there, like lace that I have to find ways to use. You'll be fine using yours as a decorative piece. :) If you're on Facebook I would love to see what you do. :) Patti

+oky1972 Thank you Oky! Me too! Patti

+purpleshammrock Thank you! The back is not tacky at all. It came out feeling like fabric still oddly. So when I ran my fingers over it I could tell it was fabric. It's not as glossy as I thought it would be. More like a satin finish. Thank you again! Patti

that's 175 * Fahrenheit. Celsius (centigrade) would be 79.44444

Thank you Dante! Patti

+Melinda Smith No, never dumb to ask questions, most people are very new to decoupage. :) Paper works really well-I just did a video on it that I'll post here for you. It's not on plates but you can follow these same steps. :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r7tlgNiTlbuXnIE.html Patti

Thanks so much, Patti! :)

my pleasure!

If you were using the glass plates in the paper he would still use the dishwasher safe mod podge correct? And still do the same method of curing it in the oven? And can you cure it three times in the oven? I don’t have 28 days to wait on a project LOL

+TheKnittyGrittyChrocheter83 Hi there! Thank you and I agree with you. It does open up so many possibilities. I don't like keeping things like cereal, pasta or flour in the cardboard containers in the pantry, so I re use the large glass jars to store things in. May as well make them pretty right? How exciting that you are building a new home! I hope you're taking lots of pictures b/c years and years down the road you're going to be fascinated by how your home has grown and where it all began. Oh, I got the plates from Bed Bath and Beyond. They always seem to have the clear square plates. :) Have fun! Patti

+Carla Kneisel Hi Carla and thank you! I am not sure but I do know they add different elements to each solution. You could test it but I haven't tried that yet. :) Patti
