Do you seal the project with a sealer (ie: mod podge, or other sealer) when you're done with the iron?
On most projects I would give a couple light coats of a spray-on sealant
@@JoanMarieDomino
Thank you.
Brilllliant video. No music and you get straight to the point. Thanks.
Thank you so much! I have started to add a little (just a tiny bit) of music in the beginning of each video but I still try to get right to the point! I’m glad you liked my video and I hope you give the iron-on technique a try! 💕🙂 - Joan
Loved this technique, Joan-Marie! You are such a wonderful teacher on how to do decoupage on all sorts of surfaces. Would love to see you do Christmas themed wooden spoons, but without the iron of course. Thanks again for this wonderful tutorial! :-)
Hi! I have wooden spoons but alas it is hard to get to everything! Hopefully in 2022! Thank you for the wonderful compliment Joan 🙂
I’m so very excited to try this! Wow…thank you 😀
I did it. Thanks so much for this video. Your method works perfectly! I used a 10" round piece with tissue paper. It came out so pretty. I've been kinda scared to attempt it and mess something up. It's so easy! Thanks again! ❤️
BEAUTIFUL
V nice video… will surely try it… thanks Joan for such a wonderful idea … much love n God bless …
Thank you so much! Joan 🙂

Hi Janet! Girl you are everywhere! 😄 Yes the Iron-on is great for big and little things, love it! Thank you for watching and thank you sooo much for sharing and recommending my videos , I really appreciate it! ❤️- Joan
Great tip to use water brush to keep napkin from sliding-thanks!
Hi Renee! Thank you for watching and found some useful tips! Sometimes I forget that tip, lol 🙂 - Joan
It's beautiful ❤️
I’m definitely going to do 10 for gifts , thank you
Hi Maria! Great gift, have fun! 😃 Joan
I would have liked to see how you removed the napkin from the hole in the wood piece you were demonstrating.
I used a nail file along the edge.
Thank you for demo such a good idea xx💐
Thank you for watching my video and I hope you give it a try! - Joan 🙂
Cool idea! Thanks
Hi Ferris! I hope you get some time to try! 🙂 - Joan
@@JoanMarieDomino I have tried doing decoupage on vases and they didn't turn out very well but it's new to me and just need to practice more. At least I can wash off my boo boos and start over. But truly love this idea on wood.
Just need to practice some and be patient. I have tendencies to rush and then I’m washing things off and starting again! Lol 😆
Gr8 tutorial. Will try yr method :-)
I love it. Thank you for sharing.
Hi! Thank you so much for watching my video! - Joan 🙂
And no wrinkles! That's the best reason to do this method!
Yesssss
Yes! Not one wrinkle! Amazing.
Yikes I watched it again and got my answer. Thank you 😊
Hi Mary! Good luck! - Joan 🙂
Beautiful work
Aish K Thank you so much! 🙂
I love your videos!
Thank you Estella! 🙂 Joan
Thanks for your reply! Watched some more tutorials. Found that your answer on a couple of them!
That’s great! 🙂❤️
You are an amazing creator! I learned to decoupage glass jars by you and cant wait to try the iron on method
Hi Lee! I’m happy to hear I was helpful with decoupage on jars! - Joan 🌺
Joan Marie - do you put a final coat of mod podge over the finished project? Or perhaps a varnish or something to protect it? Thank you so much - I love your art and your videos
Hi Marie! Thank,you for watching and I’m glad you find my videos helpful and you enjoy them. I enjoy making them! I only seal things that will be handled a lot like jars and cans. I also seal things that go outside. Decor that I am hanging up or will not be handled I see no reason to seal so I skip that step! - Joan 🙂
Can another coat of modge podge be added when done for more glossy look
I don’t use MP on top. Use a spray sealant like rustoleum in glossy finish. Do several really light coats snd allow plenty of drying time between coats
Love this, wondering if it can be done in rough pallet wood, trying to find something I don't have to send, got a bunch free. Thank you
Hi Marcia! I don’t think it would work on rough wood because the surface needs to be flat. Plus there may be gaps in rough, it splinters and the napkin could rip off, not adhere well. But you can always try. Joan 🙂
@@JoanMarieDomino thank u
I have fallen in love with a pattern… on a “cheap” thinner cardstock…think “good” sketch pad paper. can I still use it for decoupage? Or is it too thick of a paper?
You can decoupage on a flat surface using the iron-on method from this video. You can do bigger pieces, thicker paper and the method is the same. - Joan
I'm goingvto try this to make wooden bookmarks do you seal these the same way as you do your glass jars I also had going to get epoxy bookmarks to can I do the same technique as you do the glass jars on them
Hi! I usually don’t seal my bookmarks but you can if you want. I have never seen or heard of epoxy bookmarks. If it’s a plastic product it may melt. -Joan
Hi. I just did a large wooden circle with tissue paper, using your method. It mostly looks great, but there are a few spots where it looks like I didn't have enough mod podge, so the paper is wrinkling. Do you have a suggestion to fix those areas? Can I put some light mod podge on top and iron again after it's dry? Thanks for your tutorial!
You can try putting Mod Podge on top but it would have to go thru the tissue paper to get it to adhere to the wood. - Joan
What did you use to remove the paper from the cutout circle on the door hanger your sponge looks like it would be too big to fit in there?
A nail file
Omg 🥰🥰🥰🥰
easy & so pretty
can we do it on metals or glass?
Hi! No metal conducts heat and will get very hot... so stick to wood! - Joan 🙂
@@JoanMarieDomino ok.. Thanks. 😘
Does the type of paint matter? Use Acrylic maybe?
You can use acrylic paint, nothing oil based - Joan
@@JoanMarieDomino thanks.
Great what about the embossed dots that are found at the nankin’s edges would it disappear? If not how to get rid of them
Hi Dina! Those embossed marks should iron out. If you want you can actually iron the napkin first, sounds crazy but if you really want to be sure the dots are gone! Thanks for watching! -Joan 🙂
@@JoanMarieDomino thank you so much I will try that
What grit sanding sponge do you use...fine grit? TFAI!
Hi! I don’t know but it’s not what I would call fine. Sometimes Home Depot has the fine sponges. I also use emery board nail files which are very fine! 🙂 - Joan
You are an awesome teacher. Is it ok to use your calendar idea? That’s ingenious!!
Hi yes of course and you can get the little calendars from Vippies Designs. Vippies is shipping 2023 now www.vippies.com
Thank you!!!
Hi, great video.. Sometimes after I varnished it, it get smudged and wrinkle.. Why is that happen? Tq
Hi! Smudge from ink that was not.waterproof. It wrinkled because the glue didn’t completely dry. It take time to dry like several days or more. You can re-iron. Next time give more time to dry and give several very light with LOTS of drying time between coats. - Joan
Do you need to seal it when you're done adhering the napkin to the wood?
Hi Monique! This is my rule of thumb. If it’s a sign or something that will never be touched or out in the elements I do not bother. When I do seal I use a clear spray...very light misting...not heavy...a couple coats give time to dry between coats. - Joan 🙂
Do you put a coat of mod podge over the finished final part? Or leave as is? Sorry, very new to this! Didn’t know if there was a protection coat on top or anything
I only seal things that will be handled a lot or outside.
Can a heat gun be used in place of the iron? Great info by the way.
Hi there! No! Do not replace the iron with a heat gun. 🙂
@@JoanMarieDomino ok, thank you so much
Do you need to put a layer of decoupage on top?
I don’t put anything on top of it’s not going to get handled or go outside. If I want to seal I use either Rustoleum spray or DuraClear brush-on.. I don’t put Mod Podge on top. - Joan
❤️$ Love your video! First time I’ve watched you! What kind of towel did you use underneath?
Hi Karen! Thank you! I have an ironing mat and a plain terry cloth towel. Joan 🙂
Did you ever decoupage fabric on wood.
Yes! You can do it the same way. Iron with no steam - Joan

Hi any suggestion for heat proofing coasters?
Hi Marie! I have found nothing that I am satisfied. So it is my suggestion NOT to use for hot beverages and possibly for decor only. Some crafters said clear engine spray keeps hot cups from sticking. My experience was that the cups still stuck and left ring marks on the coasters. - Joan 🙂
2 coats of modpodge.do you let the first coat dry,then do a second coat?
Yes!
💕🌷
Do you glaze everything or just leave it the way it is? Is the napkin have glue on it that it sticks to the backing , or did you glue the wood first?
I don’t seal everything but most times I do. The glue goes on the wood. 🙂
I want to decoupage individual African animals on my drawers. Don’t want to cover the whole drawer but have two or three animals on each drawer. Have seen a zillion u tubes but not one address’s individual pieces on wood. All cover the wood in its entirety. If I put on just the animals, cut out with the water method, Then iron on the individual animals, will I just put the glue where the cut out napkin will go? Also what do I seal it with, varnish, moe glue or nothing Your help would be so appreciated.. Thank you.
Hi Barbara! I have never done this however I would suggest you cover the entire front of the drawers as others have done. I would imagine you could ruin the finish of the wood with spot ironing then trying to add a sealant on top. Sorry I have no experience except what I have read. - Joan
How do you use this method for something that is curved in shape such as a can per se?
Hi Marsha! I do NOT do curved surfaces only flat. It would NEVER want one of my crafting friends to get injured with a hot iron, fire, glue gun, etc. Always ALWAYS safety first! Thank you for asking me this very important question ❤️ Joan
I want to add a flower from a napkins the center of a round board..do you have a video for that? As opposed to covering all the wood?
Just put the glue where you want the napkin to go! 🙂
@@JoanMarieDomino won't the iron burn the wood?
Gail, please watch before doing this technique, you can’t cut corners or rush! 🙂 czcams.com/video/ACloqh7IHiw/video.html
@@JoanMarieDomino so I have a board..putting a napkin flower in the center..so just put the modpodge where the flower will go. Then put parchment on top of the flower and iron?
Can I stay the napkin lightly with water in stead of the water pens?
No don’t spray the napkin with water. Take a regular paint brush, dip it in water and trace the image that way. - Joan
Do you have to paint the wood first or just put decoupage on raw wood?
You don’t have to paint the wood, you may not be able to see the napkin design if the wood is to dark
Will the napkin be protected without a little top coating?
Hi! It depends on where it will be going and if it will be handled a lot. You can use a clear spray sealant on top to protect. If you wait a few days you can also do a very light coat of Mod Podge applied with a soft brush. - Joan 🙂
How did you get the paper out of the center hole? I see the edges but not sure how to get the sand sponge in the center.
Hi Jenn! Put a slit with a scissor in the hole and cut away as much of the napkin as you can with a small scissor. Use a nail file on the edges of the center hole to remove all the excess in a downward stroke. Hope that helps! Joan
Thank you so much !
I love the door hangers. May I ask what size you used?
Hi! Sorry it took so long to reply. Vippies Designs doesn’t carry the doorknob hangers anymore as their supplier went out of business. I don’t have any so I’m not sure if the size. Joan
How did you do the sanding in the hole to get it neat and smooth?
Hi! Put a slit with a scissor in the hole and cut away as much of the napkin as you can with a small scissor. Use a nail file on the edges of the center hole to remove all the excess in a downward stroke. Hope that helps! Joan 🙂
@@JoanMarieDomino A nail file, that is a smart idea, thanks!
When did you add the decoupage glue?
Hi Mary! Please watch the video again so you can see exactly how the glue is applied, it is very important that this is done correctly for success! Joan 🙂🌻
Do you do the back side?
Hi Karen! You can do the back if you want. - Joan 🙂
Sorry, two coats of what before the Mod Podge?
Paint
Can you use paper instead of napkins
Hi Lisa! Yes you can use the same method with paper! - Joan 🙂
Does it matter what kind of paint you use?
Any paint but oil based
Will this work with wrapping paper
Hi Sandy! Yes it will work with wrapping paper and gift wrap tissue. Be careful because the ink May come off on the parchment paper so test before doing an entire project. - Joan 🙂
Last night i thought it was time to have a go at this. I followed the instructions and it was all going very well. Tissue stuck nicely with no wrinkles or bubbles. This morning I wsa about to put the mod podge on the top to seal it and noticed that they had all wrinkled. So disappointed. Why did it do that when it looked fine last night?
Hi Susan! I know you skipped at least one step but possibly two. Here’s my play list for the iron-on method. Watch a couple from beginning to end and try again AFTER you watch. Your next try will be perfect! czcams.com/play/PLXcu8mq6IXvdXI8s97APv-R2xF9waR8zR.html&si=uOZSkKu6VCvAdA8Y
Where do you find the little pad calendars?
Hi Ruth! Vippies Designs and 2022 are in stock and shipping. www.vippies.com
How do I attach it to the piece ?
Can you use the same method with tissue paper ?
Hi Sharon! You can use this method with gift tissue, gift wrap and fabric. - Joan
@@JoanMarieDomino thank you so much for the quick response
Loved your tutorial!
@@JoanMarieDomino i use fabric and then there's this transparent thing on top of my fabric when i remove the parchment from my fabric. Help plis
Love your video's. Do you put the mod podge on top after you iron it
Hi Judy! I usually will do a few light sprays of Rustoleum clear sealant. Something small like a coaster, I do a very light coat of Mod Podge then iron, the same exact method. - Joan 🙂
@@JoanMarieDomino so are you saying after you iron your napkin on , you reapply mod podge and once it dries you iron again?
Yes I do that sometimes but only on smaller things like coasters, larger things I go right to a spray sealant as I mentioned, - Joan 🙂
@@JoanMarieDomino Thank you so much for the help and the wonderful videos !! 🤗
After you iron on napkin, do you put 1-2 coats of mod podge??
Hi Marilyn! You can put a coat of Mod Podge on top, wait for it to dry then iron again. This is a good way to seal. Just remember to use the baking parchment on top before ironing. You can also use a clear spray sealant. Krylon and Rustoleum make them. Hope that helps! 🙂
Do you only paint the front or do you add something to the back? Also do you ever sand any of your wood prior to adding acrylic paint? Thx
Sometimes I paint the back of my projects especially if I’m giving it to someone because it looks more finished. I rarely sand wood unless it’s shiny. Usually chalk paint adheres well to wood and the napkin adheres well to the paint. - Joan 🙂
Decoupage D.I.Y. with Joan-Marie Domino thx so much for responding. I ordered from vippies.com and can’t wait to try this
I hope you have fun creating crafts with the decoupage method! Thank you from Vippies Designs! 🙂💕
How do you get the hole in the center off
The doorknob hangers come with the hole. I remove the napkin from the hole
the same as the edge, use a small nail file. Thanks for watching Debra! - Joan 🙂
What did you use to glue the napkin to the wood? Just the wax from the patch paper?
Hi Ardi! Please watch the video! I am very clear on what I use to adhere the napkin to the wood. The adhesive is very important to do the method correctly. Wax paper and parchment paper will NOT work as an adhesive. - Joan
Sand sponge? Water pen?
Juli - Yes! Great tools for crafters! 🙂
where do you get the napkins ? why didn't you finish the project ?
