- How to Decoupage with wrapping paper, it's Quick and easy! Upcycle with no painting.... See how I transform this stained hall table from BamTilly UK
Thanks for showing us this. Letting the glue dry for five minutes, then applying dry paper and ironing it, using parchment paper to create a barrier, really helps with wrinkles. I wasn't able to be wrinkle free without tearing Kraft wrapping paper until I stopped wetting it and used the iron method and then let it all dry for 24 hours before adding sealant layers, allowing recommended coat drying time.
A couple of suggestions: when you put wallpaper up you roll it up with the TOP of the piece to be applied on the outside of the roll. When you take the roll out of the water stand it vertically to let it drain.
Then you can easily line up the first part of the roll with your edge. Then slowly and gently unroll some more paper and smooth it into place. There are bespoke sponges for this or you can pat it down with your hand.
Keep a small, barely damp rag to wipe off excess glop from the sides
ALWAYS wipe downwards with a very light touch.
I thought your final product looked lovely.
Thank you very much, I found this idea incredible helpful 🙏🏼👏👍 I will try out using wrapping paper myself 😊 oce again THANK YOU 🌟👍
Thank-you. I'm preparing to turn a wooden stool I found at the trash, into a boho plant stand, using gift wrap & tassels. I could hear you perfectly and your table is lovely. I think the idea of wetting the gift wrap to make it more pliable, will be very helpful, since I'll be wrapping rounded, dowel legs and braces.
I've learned that it doesn't matter if you cut the paper to fit the area perfectly. Once you get the paper wet it expands a little bit and becomes bigger.
I would lay the paper on a towel and use a spray bottle to wet it xx
PS. Love the old typewriter. Great deco idea ;)
Thank you, I'm not very talented at this so your video really helped.
Wow. When I first watched this, and saw you dunking the paper into water, my brain said, "No... that can't be a good idea. Surely it would be easier to do it with dry paper." My brain was soooo wrong! I first tried dry, then ripped the paper after trying to get wrinkles out for about ten minutes. In my despair, I tried your wet method. SO MUCH EASIER! Thank you!
Wow! Nice! I can hear you just fine. I actually appreciate you not screaming, ha, ha. Job well done/beautiful, thank you for sharing. From the USA!!
your video caught my eye cause I just happen to have a table on my porch that needs love....this is the ticket....ty
TYFS - it turned out beautifully 🥰
Ahhhh, thanks so so much Bam Tilly - this is a great post!!!! I now have the confidence to recover my daughter's wardrobe doors!!!!! x x x
Well good, and if it go's wrong just wash it off and start again..... But I'm sure of will be fine!!! Good luck ❤️❤️
Im really interested in doing things like this at the moment and I'm in middle of a project thank you for your tutorial. I'm gonna give it a try.
Love your outfit! Table looks great!
i really enjoyed your video ,i will be trying this on an old table thanks.
Thank you so much. I had an old, beat-up dresser that I wanted to make over for a little girl and for some reason I thought it would look cool if I decoupaged the front of the drawers. I had no experience and most of the videos online covered furniture with things like scrap booking paper and wall paper by simply gluing them on with mod podge and coating over the top. But since I live in a small town and none of the shops sell scrap booking paper or wall paper, I thought I'd buy some wrapping paper instead. When I got home, I cut the paper to size, slopped on some mod podge and tried to glue the paper straight on to the drawers, just like the videos showed. But of course, much to my dismay, the paper wrinkled horribly. I continued a few more times, thinking that it may just be my lack of skill, but each time I was forced to scrap it and sand back the drawer once again. Finally I did a google search and worked out that reason the wrapping paper was wrinkling was because it was too thin and was sopping up all the glue. The paper that the people in the videos used was much thicker which is why they seemed to be more successful than I was. Needless to say, I was quite disappointed, as I really liked the pattern on the gift wrap and I knew it would take more time and money to order in new paper from online. Luckily, I found your video just as I was about to give up! I didn't think it would work at first, but decided I'd give it one more try. I soaked the paper before gluing it on and I was instantly amazed. I just finished the dresser a few hours ago and I think it looks great :-)

Nicole Fowler I had a similar experience with a door on a cupboard but even after I prestretched the paper with water it wrinkled this was 1999 so I had not come across the idea of using cling wrap no UA-cam tutorials about to do another table so just seeing other people’s ideas
A little hint... Instead of using a razor blade to get off the overlap wait until it drys and use a course nail file in one direction strokes. It works perfect!
What a great idea, il give it a go. Thanks for the tip x
So very helpful! Thanks ever so much.
Thank you for the nice comment x
Beautiful. I like your idea. I will try it and i will let you know. By the way I hear you perfectly . I do not have any problem with your tone of voice.
This is amazing love!
Thank you for sharing! xoxo
I love this! Thank you
Wow. Nice job. Looks great.
That looks quite nice love!
Great project👍🏻😊great tips, very nice table redo
Thank you Bam Tilly I love your tutorials they are great
Thank you, that's really nice of you to say xx
thank you great tutorial!!
Love this idea. I was thinking that the long narrow pan for wetting pre-pasted wall paper would work and not wrinkle the paper so much.
Great idea!!! Thank you for sharing x
Great job thanks for the tips
Thank you. I learned a lot from your video
Good work, it turned out good.
brilliant, thanks for sharing this x
Your welcome, any questions just ask. I think if you subscribe then all my videos show up x
+BamTilly watched them all :) thanks x
I have worked with Mod Podge and PVA. I find Mod Podge drys quite quick, which has it's benefits, but can be frustrating if you are painting a table top with it. Adding some water in the Mod Podge will help.
thank you for this! so helpful 😊
If you made a farmhouse dinner table it would look more expensive. Using scaffolding planks and cut to size.
You can also use a wet sponge to wipe the air bubbles/wrinkles smooth as well if you are worried about tearing the paper with your hands.
thanks for this great advice!!
One of the best videos on decoupaging and let me tell you it wasn't just the decoupaging that I was watching, I was looking at you and adirming your sweet face, you look like a porcelain doll ;) But to be honest altho your voice is so soft and lovely for avideo it is a wee bit too low. it is a wee bit low., and I must admit I couldn't hear you properly. Just make sure your next video is louder. I dont think it's a bad thing to let someone know, and perhaps they'll appreciate you for it 'cause based on voice you can lose a lot of viewers. So it's ok I guess to say so it's not like we are criticizing you not at all. Bless you and thanks for the video, this was very informative and one of the best and easiest, or perhaps it's you that makes it look easy ;) Great job on your table and very inspiring.
Very good👍
I have just bought some wrapping paper from eBay although the bloke says he prints it on demand from an ink jet printer, I have bought some sealer so it doesn’t run but would I still need to wet it? Also is everyone deaf on here, I could hear you just fine
Amazing
Thank you x
lovely, i teach craft and will refer my people to you
In the US, we have Modge Podge for doing decoupage. I wonder if this eliminates wetting the paper. Great vid! Thanks so much ;)
Jen Evans PVA is much much cheaper than modge podge. Like modge podge, it dries clear. In the UK it's also known as school glue, so perhaps you also know it as something else.
MiaSchu Americans would know it as Elmer’s glue, I use mod podge now but used pva when I first started decoupage. MP dries a lot quicker than the pva and water mix, which is great for beginners and some prefer it to MP.
If you use modge podge do you still wet the paper?
It would nice to be able to hear you.
Dipping the wrapping paper into a bowl trying not to rip it surely water in a spray bottle would be a lot easier 🤔
Que prático vou fazer no meu aparador
Hey ...thanks for this video...and i m gonna try to decoupage my table...can i use any kind of wrapping papers?? And i want to know about the glue...is it okay binder glue?? 😊
The glue is pva, you can use wrapping paper just don't get it as wet x
what is "PVA" ? i understand that it's a glue of some sort .
Why was the paper put in water ???
Love this! What is the reason to get the paper wet? Would you get it wet for any type of project? Or just large ones like this? Or because its wooden?
I think the idea was to turn the paper into cloth like material since it isn't actual decoupage paper which can be expensive at the size. I've seen people do decoupage with napkins, cloth, newspaper etc as an inexpensive way to decorate. I could be wrong though 🤷🏽♀️
Can u put a description of material
is using the pva glue the same as using mog podge
I have never used it myself however I believe it's just pva with a finishing varnish in it...... But yes it works exactly the same just a lot more expensive. Hope this helps xx
BamTilly
Is the topcoat of varnish nessisary ? Great video x
Yes because eventually the paper will get wet and be destroyed. I used clear contact paper the first time because I have no patience.
how do I use postcards to decoupage I m new to this
Hello, if your using postcards you can just put pure pva on the back of the postcard.
Then just seal with pure pva, because the postcards are rigid and thick they won't bubble! Hope this helps, any other questions just ask.
If you really struggle il make a video for you 😊 x
can you show us what you used to get the edges of the paper flush with the table please? It's the biggest problem I'm having so far.
didn't the items get stuck to the top of the table...
What is the name of the clear varnish you use and do you think this would work for a coffee table?
Hi the varnish is made by "polyvine" and I use a dead flat finish but you can you any finish you like. Iv done this on a coffee table and it's been fine, hope this helps xx
Can i use gift wrapping paper with mod podge?
Yes and you can even use fabric
Hi I want to do a bible pages on my TV stand ... will this way work as well please
Hay, it would but I wouldn't wet the pages. I'd put the PVA (a little watered down) directly onto the table then lay the pages on top.
Use dry hands to smooth the pages over.
When it's dry cover the whole thing with pure PVA (that isn't watered down) that should work just fine! Then once dry you can seal in any varnish you choose.
Hope this helps x
Your the best thankyou xx
+Natasha Haddon good luck, let me know if you get stuck x
Pba? Is that the UK equivalent to modge podge
It's the equivalent of American white glue.
PVA glue is the generic name for Elmer's glue, school glue etc. You do not need Modge Podge; it is just glue.
if I use wrapping paper, do I get it wet? Won't it tear? Thanks...
C Rob17 hi this is wrapping paper I'm using. You could try and do it dry (without setting the paper) but I think it will wrinkle too much x
How decoupage can be made at home?
What’s pb a?
You could do with a better microphone as it’s a little hard to hear you, also this will only work with thicker papers in my experience
so, you don't rub the paper off?
Can barely hear you with volume on high, loved the video though!
Same here . Very low sound at high setting
Very annoying I turned the volume all the way up and still can't hear a thing.
What is PVA?
School glue
please sort your volume out ;)
GREAT JOB....BUT YOUR VOICE IS SO SOFT....PLEASE SPEAK UP!!!!
love the table but i couldnt hear you
Can't hear what you're saying.
Had a hard time hearing you.
Microphone quality is bad. You need to invest in a microphone.
Sound too low to follow.. Pity. Bye-bye.
Use head phones, geez...gb
U need to put the phone closer to you or speak up
sound quality is so bad i cant hear a word she says
Hard to hear you
vol so low
Froarte simplu
Couldn't hear a word you said.
Next time please fast forward so we don't have to watch you brush glue on the entire table.
You can speed up videos....fyi
Very frustrating - I can not hear you with the volume on high - Why do people make videos and then mumble and not speak up - Don't you ever watch your own videos?
I could hear fine
Is nor good
Funny how the table and camera angle made you look like a dwarf :)
PAINFUL TO WATCH
...was gonna say the same...
What a messy way of doing this! Seems like there's an easier way..couldnt hear you either
Torturous
What is PVA?
Rachel de Ocampo
It's really common glue, you can pick it up from any craft shop or even most supermarkets will sell it
In the US it's white glue.
White glue, Elmer's glue, school glue. The cheap stuff works just as good as the brand name stuff.
In the US look for Mod Podge no need to wet paper. Then seal with clear polycrylic. But you did a beautiful job! .
This is white glue or school glue
