Decoupaging is one of my absolute favourite hobbies and I've done it for years (learnt it when living right by a hobby/craft shop in Waterloo Belgium) but there are always things to learn... didn't know about using a dry sponge. Great tip! Thank you for sharing your creative talent and inspiring your fellow crafters, me being one of them 🤗🕊️
My pleasure! I am so glad to be able to add some extra crafty ideas to your arsenal
Lady love your sense of humor while you are teaching us to decoupage. Love it. Thank you
😊😅
(hugs)
I love that you just throw all the information out there. I am just learning and so many times people forget that everyone isn't experienced!! I'm excited to see more of your tips and advice!!
So glad to have you demonstrating and sharing tips. Helps a very amateurish person to feel confident enough to try. Thanks again.💕
You got this! It really does take patience! And, some may make it look easy but its genuinely not easy on its own! It becomes like that! I made so many mistakes starting out! Just dont use any good napkins or paper when you are starting.. save the good stuff..lol
It's an old video but I just now saw it. LOVED your instructions, but loved most of all....your inserts of you!! Love your funny way of talking and laughing. Made the video much more entertaining. Can't wait to see more.
I don’t know whether I like your projects or your joyful attitude more!
💞💞💞💞
Yeah, definitely paint some finishing pinks and such on the little birdie cup. Sooooo Cute!
Yes! Thank you!
I love your video, the only one that I have found simple and to the point. Thanks a lot…
I appreciate that!!!
Ty. I’m new and I’ve been watching a lot of UA-cam videos. You have really helped me in this video. Also, your giggles make me giggle.
Aww, thank you jean! That means a lot! UA-cam is such an amazing place to get information! I am glad I could help!
Yes, this is exactly what I needed! Thank you so much! This will help me immensely on my project. I’m going to decoupage three attic doors in my bedroom. I think it will be exactly what the room needs!
That sounds amazing!! I hope it turns out atunning
Where have you been all of my life!🤣 you are a breath of fresh air! I have been binge watching your videos! Dam I talk to myself like you do! 😂. Your wood video came at a PERFECT time because I just invested in tools that I really have NO IDEA HOW TO USE (hence probably shouldn’t really use) so I can pretend to be a real crafter and stop paying dollar tree for a scrap piece of wood. Lord help us all🤞🏻😅
O Allison my friend your going to love a collab I am scheduled to do in January, duping Dollar Trees scrap wood with regular wood you can get at Home depot!! We are gonna be using some tools!!! YOU GOT THIS!!!
So helpful Brandi Love how you explain so easily.
The sand paper hack changed my life!
Thanks for the thorough explanation. Let’s see how this goes!!
New to decoupaging, good video. Thanks.
I will have to try using the sponge and iron methods.
No judgement! Thank you.
Best video about decoupage ever! Thank you!
AWWWW Thank you, Carmen!!!
Thank you! I needed to see this.
You are so welcome! I hope it helped
YOUR WORK IS BEAUTIFUL AMD EASY TO FOLLOW, sorry about caps. You crack me up, Love to watch you always get a laugh out of a video..
I really appreciate that! Thank you!
I love your tutorials, you're my favorite UA-camr. Please show us some of your furniture pieces.❤😁😃
I’m new to decoupage what a great video! Thank you!
My pleasure! I hope it helped!!
It has been my experience and KNOWLEDGE that you DO NOT want to use wax paper - you want to use parhment paper between your iron and your napkin - That way there is no chance of burning anything in case you want to /need to iron the project more than you thought you needed or wanted to - ALSO, you can use mod podge and nthen adhere your napkin on wet or dry as you showed OR you can put plastic wrap on top of your box or card or whatever item your are working on and then place napkin or paper (keep smooth and be sure you do not allow plastic wrap too close to iron or it will melt onton your iron). Once you have this "sandwich" made, put large enough piece of parchment paper to cover your project with approx. a few inches LARGER that your project. Iron with a DRY iron at highest heat and keep ironing untill occasional checks shows that it is COMPLETELY adherd to project. Continue with whatever way you feel you want to do it.
Thank you for this wonderfull tip of information Patti! I am sure this will help many who come along and need additional tips!
That was good for me thank you❤
I have used parchment paper always. And I like putting mod podge and let it dry and then use the iron as 1 no tear and 2 no wrinkles so ect.
Girl yes. Thank you I just learned so much.
My pleasure!
I’m so happy to find some one that explains to you! I’m very new at this! So thank you!
I'm happy to help Karen!! Thank you so much for stopping by!
Thank you, thank you! I have never mod podged, but I want to try it. I was looking for a video to help me, and I found it!
Thanks for stopping by Barb!
Brandi, you are lovely! I teach arts and crafts to seniors so my projects need to be SIMPLE and -- QUICK and EASY. You are. Thank you. Thank you. You are real. Again, thank you.
I have been called many things Oliver but quick and easy has never been one, I love it, thank you!!! Bless you for doing that job! Teachers of any kind have the patience of a saint.

“Lather it on up” You crack me up. 😂
Sometimes you just got too!!!😂😂
I just noticed that you have beautiful eyes girl! I'm about to decopauge onto an old wooden cigar box that I painted and I'm turning into a jewelry box for my mom's birthday present. I figured that I better watch your tips first, because I'm pretty much a decopauge virgin. I normally just use the craft bond glue stick...
Awww Paige ( hugs ) Thank you!! I hope this helps!!
wow! your video is amazing, i love the little pop up art thingy's with your own comments.
Thank you LouAnn, she has many names around here...lol some call her my alter ego, some call her pop ups, some call her a meme..lol deff staple on the channel! Nice to meet you!

@@thediystruggle you're a great teacher. I love that you connect all of the dots! :)
I have Decopauged for years and that sponge technique is new to me and I will definitely be using it. This video was awesome. That butterfly napkin is beautiful. Thanks for all the tips, just love your videos. Favorite thing for me to create are footstools, and mini boxes. Love your mini pallet videos.
Awww (hugs) Thank you Linda!
My first time and you offer such great tips for my favorite craft~decoupage. . Yay!
Thank you!
I was waiting for my mod podge to dry on my tissue paper, 😁 checked UA-cam and here you are with this video, how wonderful is that. I love to decoupage and use it for a lot of my projects. I’ve never used the glue stick (that ain’t decoupaging, that’s gluing paper🤣) because I think it’s an insult to mod podge, (I’m loyal) 🤣🤣 I kid, do what ya want. I’m trying the Tim Holtz paper on a tin next. 😊 This was very helpful Brandi, thanks girl. 😊💕
Lol it is glueing paper but we mod Podge over top..lol.. just a trick for the wrinkles and lumps and bumps... Girl, I have had Sooooo many comments the past month or two about Decoupage. I had to make this video. It's not even as detailed as I wanted to get but it will deff answer many questions 💜💜💜 I love when you kid with me🤣
@@thediystruggle I’m happy you get my sarcasm, some don’t and think I’m being a “sassy pants”. 🤣🤗
@@micheleheinze5402 love love your sarcasm💜
Thanks so much for all the great information. It will really help me out with some projects that I was thinking about.
Thank you so much …I really enjoyed your audio!! 🌻
Thank you Lisa!
This was a really great video! I didn't even realize there were so many ways to apply Mod Podge. I absolutely love that wrapping paper, too! I've been on vacation - I've missed your vids and I'm trying to catch up!
I hope you enjoyed yourself woman!!! To sweet ! Thank you for always supporting me! I got a chance to pop in over your channel one day last week. I did not comment but I did like and have to tell ya! What you do is amazing! Specially the places you go looking for things! I would not have expected some of that! Your pretty unique yourself!!! Deff nice to see content so different than what I typically get offered from youtube!
I just found your channel-great information. Thank you from a new subscriber.
Thank you Veronica, Welcome!!! Happy this could help!
OMG I am so glad I came across your video. I was having such a hard time decougapging napkins onto tile to make coasters. I tried a few methods but could not get it to not have wrinkles. I was going to try your sponge method but first tried the one where you apply a lot of glue, let it dry then use an iron once applying the napkin. It worked so good! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
🥰 Yay!!! I'm so happy to hear that
thank you, that was awesome!
Thanks Kymmie!
I love the squeeze bottle idea. Thank you. This was wonderful. That sponge trick is so much better than the Saran Wrap. That gets kind of messy, I think.
I just heard about that from another subbie! I need to check into that..lol
This is amazing ! Can you write And resin over the paper and napkins and tape ?
Thank you! I appreciate you sharing many useful tips. Loved the butterfly napkin! Beautiful.
Absolutely, I LOVE DECOUPAGE!!! I am lucky if I can make a video without putting any in it I love it so much!!!
Fantastic information! Going to give it a try today! Best tools I have seen. Thank you!
Thank you Pam, I had a few people say the sponge ripped the napkin on them so try pressing the napkin with it over spreading it.
You are awsome I am decopauging for the first time you answered every question I had. I think I am ready to try it. Thank you so much!!🥰
Thank makes me so happy to hear Judy!!! I am happy I could help!! I love decoupage!!! It truly is an art to me!!!
You do a wonderful job on creating a tutorial! So glad I found you today!
Aww thank you! This is a real passion for me! I love the artistry in Decoupage and want to share the skill with people!
Loved your water/ paint brush method 💕
Thank you🤗
This was very helpful!! Thank you for all your inspiration and information!
That means a lot to hear Candice! Thank you! And, thank you for watching!
Great video very useful info I’m just getting ready to start
I purchased some rice paper so pretty but kind of pricey
Lots of helpful tips for decoupaging. I am definitely going to try these. Thank you for a great video!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for stopping by Marilyn!
I love to mod podge things! Good tips you gave.
Me too Connie! It is like a magical substance that has the ability to make all projects better...lol😂
Excellent !!!! I can't wait to do some
Happy to hear that Terri!!!! I love me some decoupage!
Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing your techniques!
You are so welcome! Thank you so much for watching!!
Brandi, this video is wonderful!!! Lots of great info! I absolutely love decoupaging and mod podge is what I use. However, despite my “experience” (lol), I’ve learned a lot from watching how you do it. That dry sponge thing is a gift from above. It makes a huge difference! The only time a sponge has been more useful has been when used as a contraceptive. 🤣🤣🤣 I’m kidding, don’t block me please lol!
I remember the first time I tried mod podging. I asked a crafty coworker how much I should use and she suggested the same amount as when doing paper mache. Can you imagine??? Girl, I was covered in mod podge…my paper was practically a soggy ball of wrinkly disintegration…and my mood was quite poor indeed. 😂😂😂 She must have hated me and I didn’t even know it. 😝
Thanks for the tips and tricks! Sending all kinds of love and happy thoughts! 🌼🍃💛
I can't imagine hating you!! That mean co worker..lol Block you??? I'ma wait for more of those gems!! Had me ROFLMBO....SOOO funny!! Mod Podge is like a crazy miracle...lol I really do love it!
So informative! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it Judith! I tried writing some stuff down. I hate reading from a paper. It sounds so forced in the two spots I did that in the video, but I did not want to for get anything...lol I had to joke myself about it. All the fun gets take out of my voice...lol
How informative and helpful are you!? I’m new to this fun way of creating beautiful things and was thrilled to learn I can use fabric ;) Thanks a bunch for all your tips and for making me laugh!
I am glad I could help Bard! Thank you so much!
This was sooo informative. Thank you
Thank YOU for stopping by Sherry!!!
Thanks for sharing this, it helped me a lot!! I love the little porcelain jug!!😊👍💜
Ginger my daughter came in and said, oh my this is so pretty. I said mhmm.. she said did you make this
..I said it's not done, she said she loved it!!
Lol I got such a chuckle from it because I wanna do something to it to make it looked more finished, but she feels it's beautiful just like that💜 Let me know how your DIY turns out!!!
@@thediystruggle that's cute, it sounds like my daughter. I think you might have to let her win this one..lol
I will definitely let you know. 😉

Great video, thank you
Happy you liked it Jill, Thanks for watching!!!
Thanks for the tips brandy I love napkin with the butterfly 😆 we have another thing in common I love napkins too
Yessss napkin lovers for the win
Very helpful! Love your humour napkins addiction indeed! Got a ton of William Morris napkins very cheaply at French shop online to make classic fireplace surrounds! Did you see Escape to the Chateau S9 ep1 she makes tiled table top like patchwork quilt fab! Saw a lady Pat Elrich? (Top5 decoupage tips) She uses stretched plastic wrap to press the napkins on and shield work as she smoothes out to avoid tears....been using catering/party sites to get more napkins cheaper❤ thanks for sanding block tip lmao some use sandpaper Pat uses giant nailfiles your block looks best!
Meant to say the fabric blew my brain! So much better to get little kids having a go❤
2/3 white PVA glue+1/3 water mixed well good budget initial adhesion save xpensive mod podge gloss etc for top layer
Awesome tips and tricks.. thanks a bunch... I used the Tim Holtz paper on a pumpkin... turned out really cute :)
I love that pumpkin! Thank you souvh for sending me that picture! I love love love seeing people's creativity💜
Did I give you an idea. I love this video. ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for showing us how to do it. You look beautiful in this video. I love your hair.
You ALWAYS give me ideas!! You are so inspiring! I have had so many subbies asking me questions lately, hopefully this helps I can start referring them to this video! Same my fingers typing so much..lol
Brandi, this is such a wonderful decoupage video !!!👍👍I'm getting a sponge tomorrow! Last year 3 of us got together & took wooden words( blessed. gather , etc.) & decoupaged them, then lit the extra paper with a lighter, which burned right up to the exact edge of the letters!!They turned out soo good! It worked! Use with tissue paper & napkins on wood ONLY!!! We had a Lil wine & tried scrapbook paper , we almost started a 🔥! Kept a bucket of water close by then !!..ha ha Thanks for all the tips & tricks!!! Great job!! Be safe & TFS, my talented friend ❤!!
Thank you Connie! I am so happy I could help with new information....Oh yes, This is what I was saying in the video about a burn method for removing the extra napkin. I looked into that and its just not my cup of tea. I burned a few napkins on some furniture for a vintage farmhouse look and those bits get a little braisen and sometimes fly where ever...lol This is THE DIY STRUGGLE....lol I do not need EXTRA help trying to burn my DIY's down I almost do that enough...lol.. It is totally a cool concept and I appreciate the people who have mentioned it, it is just not for me...lol That is awesome you and your friends get together and do that. Mine all think it is my job to cook for them when we gather..lol
@@thediystruggle How to do a gift bag on canvas like around the edges you cut in the middle of the canvas. How do you cover the edges where you don't have where you torn it or cut it out? Please help just starting.I love all your tipsvery helpful and reading all the fans messages also. Great to have everyone putting in what helps for them. Thanks everyone. Merry
I am simple blown away by the amount of info you have crammed into one fantastic video.
I'll definitely refer to this video over and over. Thank you!
Oh Girl! This was so helpful.. I love to decoupage.. and I see by watching what I have been doing wrong.. And material, Girl, I had forgotten you could use material too.. I love, love , love it.. Thank you so much.. I decoupaged a napkin onto a little white pumpkin, it was okay, but I see what I did wrong.. to much mod podge,, Thank you again.. Can't wait to try the material..
This makes me so happy to read this morning Cathy! I have seriously had so many questions over the past month and wanted to try and put as much as I could in a video. I seriously had more I could have talked about but did not want to drag it out...lol THANK YOU for watching my friend!
I was mod podging when your notification came up … almost perfect timing. Lol I got wrinkles in my globby mod podge for days … 😆 I’m going to try and iron them out… maybe. 🌈🖖🏽💕
Ahahaha Maybe
... priceless....yes, little bonus video this week. I would not want a how to, to take up a DIY Friday video spot! I think some of you would riot...lol
