Rather than smoothing with your hands try putting some Saran wrap over the project and smooth with your fingers on top of that - then you won't stick to it to pull/rip it - it's a nice smooth application that way...

Also Sonnet.. let the paper dry completely after the top coat of liquid patina and then sand in a downward motion around the edge of the paper and the paper will just fall off. Use like a 220 or 320 grit. You edges will be so much cleaner, crisper and neater!

Amber, once the project is totally dry, one of the big Emory board’s from Sally’s (or the Dollar Tree) will work for the sanding,.

@rhondasales5176 2 жыл бұрын

Love the projects you shared. When I decoupage I make sure that I put the modge podge on all the paper and let it completely dry and then it is easier to cut and remove the excess. For the riser let it dry completely and then in a downward motion rub with 220 sandpaper and it comes right off. 😊 thank for sharing.

@ambermoy8147 2 жыл бұрын

I would recommend never putting your hands or fingers on the paper. Use a ball of saran wrap to smooth out your paper after you lay it down. The reason your paper tore was because you already started putting liquid patina on top of the paper to seal it in, rubbed it with your fingers and then lifted it and put it back down. I would recommend that if you have to lift it to adjust it or get wrinkles out, do all of that before you put any of your liquid patina on the top of the paper. Also I would only reccomend lifting it up once in a certain area. You definitely do not want to lift like the right side up, lay it back down and lift it again... it will definitely tare. Do try the JRV papers though if you haven't already. You know I wouldn't steer you in the wrong direction 😁❤️

I like seeing other people's problems that they have when they're crafting. Honestly I think that makes videos so much better because it shows us the potential problems that you can run into and then we can all discuss some potential solutions. I hate that KZfaqrs make things look so easy and then I go to try it and I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Decoupaging has been one of those things that is not easy for me.

I would suggest you try Roycycled papers. I love the way they look and turn out on projects. I was wondering when you did the breadboard if using dark wax on the green edges would've changed the color tone enough to blend with the front green, but I like the coral color on it. That little case turned out pretty cute. And so many times the leaves on plants will actually have a tinge of the bloom color in them somewhere, so that was a happy little accident and not a problem! That little bit of color outside the lines gives the overall look "character", LOL, but that's the way many water color pictures are....so you're an artist!

Thanks for sharing. If you trace where you want to cut, instead of cutting on trace line, take a wet Qtip and apply on the trace line and gently tear...try on a small piece to see if the particular paper works with this technique first...I have found it to work well. Maybe you have had someone offer this tip before...it also works with napkins and Mulberry paper. Love all the projects!

Hi Sonnet, The technique on the suitcase was very cool and finished item fabulous. As I was watching the final clip of the tiered tray I thought that cutting the inside edge with a rolling pizza cutter might work well to remove excess, just a thought as I have not tried.

If you use soft gel (I like Golden Soft Gel) to apply decoupage paper you can list and adjust the paper with it ripping. It has a longer “open time” that allows you to move it around a bit.
