    I like glue the best. Clear or a color that dries clear. Bought on clearance at school starts, of course. I almost always use that poly thickly on top of the finished product. Don’t you think you could make some smiling or laughing pop up Brandi’s? Dog hair is just a side product of living a life. Those napkins are gorgeous. Now make something with all those squares please. TFS. You are the best.

    Hi, i just discovered your videos, they are great! Thank you for testing all these mediums. I live in Canada and hadseen on a few UA-cam videos that the "deco art for napkins" was the bext . I dont think it is better than modge podge. I found it thicker, a bit harder to put on as well it was really hard to clean off your fingers. It also cost me $23! For 8oz. I think ill stick ( no pun intended 😂) to modge podge.

It was great to see you try everything that you did cos it gives us a lot more of an idea what and what not to use. I have a lot of things here that I’m waiting to decoupage but wasn’t sure really what to use so thanks heaps for your video. Have a great week.

    • @EvBarney
      @EvBarney 2 роки тому +3

      ​@@lateknightcreations ​ Fair enough! I found a few articles and posts. The differences seem to be: ESG is more wet and runny. It dries slowly and is more flexible once dried. It can be washed off of surfaces and out of clothing even when dried. EG is thicker, faster drying, and less flexible once dry. You may have to scrape it off surfaces once dry, and don't count on it easily coming out of clothing.

    Beacon, huh? Wow, whoda thunk? I do junk journals and use FabriTac, FabriFix, and/or Three-in-One (if there's a difference between the three I sure can't find it)all the time - its like cool hot glue (what??!?) in that it sets up pretty fast with just a little wiggle room before my project stays stuck forever. I like the Mod Podge too as well as the glue/water mixture, especially when I want wrinkles. Thanks Brittany, this was fun. Hugs from the Southern California desert, MK 🤗🏜🤗

You know what plain Elmer’s/white schools glue is great to crackle your paint and so much less expensive than using a crackle medium.
