Ann if I could share a bit of information with you. I used to work for the company that makes Mod Podge and I have demo'd at many craft fairs and helped answer questions from consumers at the Corp offices. Mod podge is water based as well, so it would be best for you to put a sealer on top that is solvent based. The company suggested their clear sealer, but they also have a glossy one, as well as one that gives a pearlescent sheen to it. Of course you could use whatever brand you want as I am sure they have got to have new sealers out since I left in 96 shortly after I married. If you were to want a clear gloss look, you might want to use a very fine sandpaper between coats as it will remove and brush strokes left behind. They used to suggest the little sponge applicators that resemble a paintbrush. I know they have their own UA-cam channel for Mod podge now if you want to get some ideas straight from the manufacturer. I don't want to overstep my bounds as you have done a wonderful job on these coasters. I just didn't want you to leave a wet cup on one and it turn foggy from the glue or ruin all your beautiful work. These really are stunning and will make a wonderful gift. You can make some stunning ornaments as gifts this way, which would not require sealing other than the mod podge.
@@kristensadlier Kristen, they make clear spray sealer in matte finish, from several different manufacturers. You can get at any craft store, dept. store, or paint dept. Being a solvent, make sure you spray outside. God Bless
For the last couple of weeks, I have been seeing gorgeous results from using napkins. It amazed me so much I had to search for tut and found this one. Absolutely love that you show blunders. Nothing worse than someone making something look so easy that you feel like a failure if you can't do it as well the first time. It also gives us insight into what went wrong and at time how to fix things. Very educational. Thanks for sharing!
Brilliant! Thank you I'll have to try it. Also thank you so much for tearing the first napkin. Crafters on YT always make everything look so easy and perfect so when you go and try it yourself you feel like such an idiot because everything wasn't quite as straight forward as it looked in the video. Now I won't feel like I can't do it if I tear a few napkins.
I've really loved making theses coasters. I tore holes in the first half dozen. What worked for me in the end, was to put the plastic with the napkin under a very slow tap, then when I turned the plastic over onto the coaster, I pressed really hard and most of the water came out, which meant I hardly had to touch it with the brush. Thank-you so much for all your how to videos. Perth AU
I love that you didn't edit out the part where the tear happened and you had to restart. Most would edit it out like this is so easy and no problems. Your projects are so beautiful. Bunny hugs from North Carolina USA
You are right about Dainty Crafts...that is the method I now use after working like to give up by doing it the way that has been shown for years. No going back to THAT. Thanks for doing a good show of presenting it to us and even those that have seen it before.
Absolutely fabulous tutorial . Thank you Ann . Tried this and it has turned out brilliant and so easy to do . What would I do without your tutorials :-). So appreciated x
OMG I LOVE THESE! I’m definitely going to try it when I find some napkins I love. You could also buy a sheet of adhesive felt in a matching colour and put that on the back! Thank you for the video. Xx
These are absolutely beautiful, I am definitely going to try them. I did some jars with napkins, lovely cardinals that I associate with Canadian Christmas time. I did finish them with a solvent varnish, as advised below, tho I did it 2 years ago. I have loads of napkins as they are a popular hostess gift with my friends! I will enjoy perfecting this to make use of them.
Thank you so much Ann, I really really enjoyed watching you create these adorable little coasters for Christmas, and anytime really. I really really love ❤️ those scruffy birds and the robins too. I’m definitely going to try this out and see what I can get. If they’re anywhere as good as yours I shall be very very happy indeed. I know my daughter would really love ❤️ a set of the Robins. Please stay safe and well too. Looking forward to seeing the box you create for them too. xxx Mags
Those turned out fabulous. Excited to see you do the wooden box I have several I bought ages ago to turn into trinket boxes. I’m going to practice on some wood chips I have laying around. Thanks for sharing xx
Hi Ann, what a brilliant idea, don’t the birds with the ruffled feathers make you smile, thanks for making the video, the coasters are beautiful, take care. Regards.
I’m so glad you decided to leave in the part where the napkin ripped. For beginners like me, it’s important to know that goofups can happen to the best too 😊
What a wonderful idea Ann. These would also make a great Craft Fair item. Will be giving this one a go and see what happens. I have plenty of napkins as I've used them on creating cards with them. Be safe & TYFS
Thank you most helpful, beautiful work. I'm subscribed to Dainty Gifts as well and now yours. I have had a few successes and alot of fails channels like yours help so much, Thank you
I've only recently found your you tube tutorials and I've got so many new ideas to try. Like yourself I get bored easily just doing the same thing over and over so you have definitely given me so many new and exciting ideas to try. Thank you ❣️
Ann, I voted for you. Took me a while to get down to inspired category. I’m in Texas in the United States and hope I get to see who won in all the different categories, because I want to look up all my areas of interest on the internet and get inspired by them as much as you have inspired me. I found you just a few weeks back and haven’t been able to stop watching your videos. You are awesome! And love your accent too.
Thank you so very much Ann, you've just given me a great idea for Xmas gifts for a friend who has everything and wants for nothing. The coasters look absolutely exquisite. 🤗
Really love these makes something a little different and a great idea for a Christmas gift. Thanks. You really did a great job. I've got a few Christmas napkins left over from last year's decoupage projects. XXX 💖💝💗 BIG THANKS Sarah.
These are cool for gift giving! TFS Ann wonderful tutorial and awesome inspiration for everyone to make for the up coming holidays or for any occasion as well!
Thank you so very much Sweet Ann!! I really appreciate this wonderful class today...I will gather some supplies soon and give it a try ...Have a Wonderful Blessed Day...Crafty Hugs
Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. I use like a clear thin contact plastic type paper to cover mine verses just modge podge to protect them from condensation from drinks. I lay the clear contact plastic or clear vnyl (dollar tree) on coaster after it's been cut to fit then I lay wax paper over it and use an lower setting on iron and iron over wax paper until the plastic sheet melts onto coaster enough to make it stick. My wording isn't great but I think you get my point. You can also just modge podge then add clear vinyl sheet over too.
I watched another video on this, and she uses high temperature engine enamel in clear over the mod podge as a final finish. The mod podge is NOT heat resistant. It is heat activated, which is why you can iron on napkins or fabric for decoupage. ua-cam.com/video/ZEGZxZ6MO3I/v-deo.html
Wonderful 😍😍😍! So lovely the birds and the flowers! I colect napkins, so i have the napkins but i must to buy the coasters 😁. I'm watching Dainty Gifts also 🥰. Thank you! 😘🤗🥰
Positively Papercraft you deserve it As you see my pseudo has changed it is not anymore donna2165perez Anyways I will always follow you Thanks again for all tutorials I have a request Can you do a tutorial of a coffee mug in 3D please I really want to do it Best wishes 😍😘
i have a idea. instead of pouring the water onto the napkin try using a spray bottle that has a fine mist spray. that will allow you to control how much water is applied vs soaking the napkin. maybe use a brayer to roll out the wrinkles vs using the paint brush? maybe use a really soft makeup brush?? if these are going to be used to place iced drinks on would the dishwasher safe mod podge do a better job as resisting moisture? the napkins look great. nice work.
These are beautiful hunni & I can see them making wonderful presents, especially if you an get photos of people's pets or family memories printed out onto thin enough paper. XXX

Do you know of a matte sealer that's solvent based? I'd like to attempt this activity in memory care. Thanks for any help kristensadlier@gmail.com

Great viedeo...and I really love that you leave the little "Oops-moments" in, because that' s what helps the viewers a lot. Love, Monique :-)
Thank you Monique 😘😘
Yes, that's what makes me willing to try it. I can see how to handle it when it happens to me.
When she split it I said a swear word🤣 this looks great, I must try 😊
Brilliant! Thank you I'll have to try it. Also thank you so much for tearing the first napkin.

Started a little business in Perth, WA doing decoupage canvases, frames and wooden letters. This is my next project to expand my business.
I love that you didn't edit out the part where the tear happened and you had to restart. Most would edit it out like this is so easy and no problems. Your projects are so beautiful. Bunny hugs from North Carolina USA
Thank you so much. No point is there ? You need to keep it real :-) xx
Wow Ann, these are terrific. Thanks so much. 😊

Gorgeous! Great technique to follow as I always have wrinkles in mine 😣 I love the sparkly mod podge, helps wrinkles disappear!!! 🎄🎄🎄❤
Technique is amazing 👏
love your video been having probs getting wrinkle free napkins thankyou
Game changer! Thank you for sharing this technique, tnot a wrinkle in sight!
Glad it was helpful!
Wow, so beautiful and great idea
Thank you for making the Christmas gift ideas
Can’t wait to try it. Thanks Ann!
I have just recently found your wonderful channel and enjoying all of your videos so much! Thank you so very much.
You are so welcome!
Just watched this today. Love this idea and want to try. Question: how well does the modpodge handle heat? As in hot coffee cups?
I watched another video on this, and she uses high temperature engine enamel in clear over the mod podge as a final finish. The mod podge is NOT heat resistant. It is heat activated, which is why you can iron on napkins or fabric for decoupage. ua-cam.com/video/ZEGZxZ6MO3I/v-deo.html
Modpodge makes hot drinks stick to coasters, even if you put another coat of something else on top of it.. I'm going to try the engine enamel.
Wonderful 😍😍😍! So lovely the birds and the flowers! I colect napkins, so i have the napkins but i must to buy the coasters 😁. I'm watching Dainty Gifts also 🥰. Thank you! 😘🤗🥰
Thank you x
