    I've really been enjoying your decoupage videos - thank you. I'm old enough to remember when years ago decoupage was "the thing" and wood plaques were everywhere for making wall decor. I also remember when for holidays my mom and I would decoupage appropriate things on painted clay pots to hold seasonal plants for gifts or decor.

      I appreciate this sweet comment Melinda! Believe it or not the reason I started my youtube channel was because I was doing home reno projects and would watch videos and people made it out to be very easy. ( now i did have a lot of experience with certain stuff from growing up doing this with my dad) But, when I would do these extra things I was not so sure of. I found out it was not at all like it was shown. I needed something else in addition to the stuff i was told. It took way longer to do. They skipped a steps. Something would end up falling apart later. Like, I did not spend all this time and money to make junk. Especially, FOR MY HOUSE! Who can afford to waste money like that??? I sure can not! It was really frustrating. SO, when my friends bullied me enough to do it..LOL I decided I was going to give ALL the information I had, so people could make their own decisions based on my experiences good OR A HOT MESS! I am so glad you are getting value in it!

    Hi! My first time checking out your vids. My favorite is number 4,,the winner!!!! I am very interested in learning about decoupage and your site is the only one who has mentioned the idea about whether or not you want the end product translucent or not. I, truly, enjoyed your down to earth approach and your sense of humor. Bit of background. I am a senior citizen who deals with terrible migraines. I find, that as I have gotten older, that at times even the light from my lamps in my living room hurt my eyes, so I thought that I would purchase some small lamps. I found one I loved. It is called a mushroom lamp BUT the price of almost $120 per lamp totally not in my budget as I wanted 4, lol. The search began and right away I found glass spaghetti storage jars at Dollarama for $4 each which I thought perfect!! I will be using some fairy lights and want whatever finish I use to be translucent. I have been experimenting with window film so far not too impressed. I have used mod podge and food coloring to do abstract painting on one and really like it as I have always been kind of fascinated with the stain glass look. I am still stumbling along trying to find new looks for my lamps. My friends call my lamps "Senior night lights"" rofl. Please feel free to erase/edit my comment as I did start to ramble a bit. I am, now, going to look at your older posts to see if I can find something to help me out.

    I just thought I’d share this tip I just discovered for anyone who has a die cutter, you can die cut tissue paper and napkins and use them for decoupage. They work on anything, and you can color the tissue paper with alcohol markers. You can make your own floral transfers, or any other die cuts you have.

Amazon also has dies that are reasonable too. I love all your crafts, and I would love to see what you create with custom transfers. I’m having so much fun with them.

    Okay so now you've got me obsessed with decoupage. Everywhere I go I look for napkins LOL I'm thinking of changing my entire of decor right now I'm more into modern however above my price point LOL and I love the look of the items you create that I've got this plastic oval-shaped decorative tray decoupage? I was thinking if I sanded it first it's a brown color like fake wood got in that Dollar general for $3 but I'm thinking it would be super cute with some type of like filler I got at Kohl's and some rustic orbs. Again I apologize for my long comments but any suggestions would be super helpful and appreciated as always much love

      Decline?
      Use?
      My favorite brushes are synthetic wide bristle brushes in general! I hope this helps

    I'm wondering why you don't use a heat gun or hairdryer to dry in between coats?

    • @thediystruggle
      @thediystruggle  Рік тому

      For the paint? I don't heating up the glass. It makes me nervous. I've had glass explode on me before when it was too hot, going from one extreme to another too quickly, I think. Idky, it happened, really.
      If it was wood, I would have used a heat gun for the paint portion.
      For mod podge. I never heat that up unless with an iron because it reactivates it that's been my experience, and then my napkin will move if I am trying to do something else.
      Just personal preferences, really. Plus, natural drying allows for some cure time between coats and ensures a better bond applying the mod podge, so it's not like it hurts. Just my TIME..LOL. Again, I just prefer things done like this because of what I experienced and what works for me with why i do it this way.. If the heat gun works for you, I say go for it!!! I am just sharing my process. I hope this helps Sharon! Have a great rest of your week!!

    Thanks for awl the tips Brandi! I do have a question: how come you need to separate the napkin instead of just using the two layers? Couldn’t you skip the painting white underneath if you just used awl of the napkin? I haven’t tried it yet but every decoupage tutorial I’ve watched they separate the napkin. This is just a curious question.

    • @thediystruggle
      @thediystruggle  Рік тому +1

      I explain this is a lot of my videos. I'll break it down for you.
      Some napkins have the Xtra ply under the top decorative layer.
      If you leave let's say one ply under the decorative layer and try to put that on top of mod podge the ply UNDER the Decorative layer is going to have the most adhesion to the item your decoupaging. The top Decorative layer may be attached in some sections if the mod podge is thick enough but it's possible it will come up and bubble. This is especially the case if your doing the iron on Method. The mod podge is not really built to go through several layers like that. It can work but it's been my experience it don't more times that it does.
      Painting the underneath is a preference. I show in many videos with glass and wood. You can leave the glass clear or leave the wood. As wood but the result is transparent and your design will not pop as much as if you paint a white or cream background.
      I hope this helps!!

      @@thediystruggle yes! It helped A LOT! I guess I need to pay more attention. Lol. Haven’t had the chance to catch all of your videos yet. But I’m really looking forward to them! And I completely get why you’d wanna paint a solid white under the napkins. I guess I was thinking that the Mod Podge would just go through both layers. Not thinking that it could be a hit or miss. And I’ve never tried the iron on method. But I’m really looking forward to giving it a whirl too!😃👍👍and I really do love the detail you give while demonstrating. You’ve answered a lot of questions already!!😁😁😁
