    Thank you for your beginner tutorial. I've done some but I see some of the beautiful creations others have made and I want to jump right in. Made me think about it and realize I need to take it slow. Enjoyed your presentation as it was simple, what and what not to do, and I need to be patient. Thank you again.

    I was so inspired by your explanation and lovely techniques. I went to the dollar store got the napkin and went to St Michael’s and got mod podge and tried it today, it turned out great. It was my first time and felt good to do something for the first time in a long time😀👌🏻
    Going to try more. Keep inspiring. Love from Canada 💜😀

    Hello and thank you for posting this video. I do you have a quick question I painted wood with chalk paint first then added a thin layer and put my napkin on and it looked perfect until I put a thin layer of Modge podge on top and it bubbled what did I do wrong. I did let it dry overnight before I put a coat on top

    • @OurUpcycledLife
      @OurUpcycledLife  2 роки тому +1

      I find when using mod podge as a topcoat if you put too much on it will bubble up. Are use a water-based poly acrylic sealer as my topcoat and only put on a very thin coat hope that helps
