Ok ladies, just to be clear; never do this to someones guitar without their permission. This technique will render the guitar as just an ornament, playing it at this point will ruin all the work on the fret board and really dull the sound of the guitar. You would have to approach this in a different manner if you still want the guitar to be useful, and you would not do anything to the fret board. If you still want the guitar playable watch this: Easy-to-make comic book guitar design: How-to Decoupage! Great video overall, Thank you.
+Thomas Gosselin I was wondering why she was protecting the strings, since the guitar is basically useless for playing now, I guess she wants it to be ornamental.
+Curious Watcher Yes, strictly ornamental. :)

She. 😏
Thomas Gosselin I'm guy tho, this shit still apply?
@@pg.6065the shit still applies if you are male, female or non-binary. This video is for a guitar that will be a decor item ONLY, after finishing. If you want to use/play the guitar, they are several more videos online that apply to that scenario.
I have a guitar sitting here that I really want to decoupage so this video has helped me a great deal. Thank you. Your finished guitar was absolutely gorgeous... I hope my end result is just as good!
I love all your projects, but this one is my favorite!
thank you Teresa! It's one of my favorites too. :)
Patti
Oh my goodness, you never cease to amaze me with your talent Patti. This is stunning!
Debb Doss Thank you so much Debb! I feel like I have just been hugged. :)
Patti
I watched your video and i understand this is for decorative purposes only. Something like this can be done on an electric guitar body though...
A few suggestions though :
1) remove the strings, nuts, and tuning pegs
2) maybe do something about those guitar frets ? because the way you do it, you are going to have a bunch of paint on the side of each fret. So maybe try to do a more delicate work, not painting the frets, then polishing them with a dremel tool ?
3) you should definitely seal the fretboard wood : it's often porous, oily wood that won't let paint stick too well. So for that, i definitely suggest applying some pore filler before you paint on it.
4) the guitar is finished in lacquer : you should definitely rough it up with some 1000-grit sandpaper, just so it's nice and smooth for the paint to adhere and look good.
Have a nice day !

My hubby a musician and has a great studio. So I got 2 guitars to upcycle, one mosaic and one decoupage. This tutorial is great and giving me awesome ideas. Both the guitars I have are acoustic like yours but think I'm going to try an electric one too I saw for $20.
Thanks sooooooooooooo much for the inspiration♡ love your work.
Sonya Lemacks Thank you Sonua! I have a page on Facebook and I would love to see both of your guitars! I love mosaic too. My page on FB is called Upcycle with Decoupage, and if you have time, maybe when you're done you can show me your work. I get inspired by you too!
Patti
Absolutely, thanks
Super pretty! Luv all your techniques.
Hi Patti
Another Magnifent video!!! The guitar is just Gorgeous, so much prettier now!! See you next week
deezie
Deneen Lotz Thank you Deezie!
hope you're well!
Patti
I am in the UK and love watching your talent and original ideas on CZcams. You've inspired me to have a go at it too but I'm very nervous x
k jobson Hi K! Thank you….I know what you mean. It's a good idea to practice first on something that's not that expensive or that you were going to toss anyway. There's another Facebook page called Mason Jar Madness and Decoupage, that focuses primarily on decoupage. There are a lot of people from the UK on the page as well, and they're very helpful. Someone is always on the page and ready to help when someone has a question. I also have a Facebook page but I take a lot longer to respond. Once you start though you'll probably just keep on going. :)
Patti
Beautiful!!!!💛❤💚
Thank you!!
Love this project
BEAUTIFUL!
I love your videos! Thank you for the lovely idea
Adiga Love thank you Adiga! I hope you give it a try!
Patti
Hi Patti,
Did something like this a couple of years ago, but with pictures of a dear friend throughout the years. It turned out amazing and he loved it! Love the idea of doing decoupage first, and then the pictures. About to start on a guitar wedding gift and will follow your video.
djrepasky aww, that's a great gift, I'm so happy he loved it. Let me know if you have any questions. :)
Patti
Wow! Love this!
Very pretty! Tfs
Paula Fowler thank you Paula!
Patti
I love it such a cute idea for a decor piece I wish I could of got my hands on these guitars that this music store just threw away in the dumpster because they were slightly damaged because of the sprinkler system went off when there was a small fire.But sadly when I returned with something to take them with me the dumpster was gone.I could of made a bunch of those and kept a few and still have some to give away to friends there was at least 10 or possibly 15 in there that would of been so fun to have that many to work with.
Hi Patti - as always its beautiful! My son turn 16 this year, he plays guitar and has a small childs guitar that he has outgrown that I would love to do this with. He is a rocker though so would need pictures that are appropriate; Guns n Roses etc. You have inspired we do get on with it. Thanks again from NZ!!
Maxine Sutherland Lovely! That's a great idea, and I see why you would need to use a different pattern. The flowers won't do at all. :)
Have fun!
Patti
I want to thank you so much for this video, you inspired me so much!!! I lost my 17 year old son, almost 18 years ago, shortly before he died, my parents gave him a bass guitar, he didn't have it long and was trying to learn to play. I have had it in a closet all these years, it was broken by movers, and I never had it fixed, anyway after watching your video, I dug it out, started painting and gluing!!! It looks fantastic (not as good as your amazing work) but I am very happy with how it turned out. A friend of mine wrote a song about my son called Brandon My Love, so I placed the name of the song on the front of the bass and the words of the song on the back, and it is covered in red poppies!. Thank you so much for the inspiration!!!!!!
+Lisa D Hello Lisa, I saw your post on my FB page and thank you so much for getting in touch with me. Again, so so sorry for your loss. It had to feel like you were connecting with Brandon while you were working on this, and I'm so sure he's pleased with the outcome and how much happiness it gave you to do this. I'll bet you felt his presence around you as you worked on this. Hugs! Your work is beautiful, made from the heart.
Patti
+patioelf Sorry about the "double" post, I was looking for a way to contact you, didn't think of facebook until after, wanted to send you a picture, I am just so happy the bass no longer lives in the closet, but is out where I see it everyday, thank you for sharing all of your video's you are truly inspiring!!!!
No worries at all about a double post Lisa, it's such a sweet story that it was nice to read 2 times! I love that it's now out for you to see! For everyone to see and to keep a part of your son around all of you. :)
big hugs!
Patti
Hi Patti,
Thank You for the video!! It's really pretty. My Mom is an artist and she taught me a little trick. When you have awkward things like guitar strings that you don't want to get paint on...wrap them in saran wrap.
My kitten was watching your video with me and pounced on the screen at your hands flitting around the screen and fast forwarded the video to the end....little stinker.
lornaswest Thank you Lorna!
Patti
Notice!! Beautiful!
rubymimosa LOL.
thank you!
Patti
Hermoso 🥰
Love
Wow!
paobiologia Thank you!
Patti
Just bought my guitar for £3 can't wait to do this to mine
Hi Gemma! I'm sorry I missed your comment, did you do this to your guitar? I would love to see it...
Patti
Well you finally did it,Absolutely stunning Patti, nowI must get around to doing the ones I have ,thank uou so much xx
Jennifer Peters You were my inspiration Jennifer! I think you decoupaged a violin and I loved it so much I just had to find one - which was proving to be impossible, so I found this guitar. Thank you!
Patti
This was great! I have a child's guitar sitting in my closet and it is perfect for a project like this. I was wondering if the guitar was still usable after this treatment? Maybe if I use a varnish on top, it would be more durable?
Trouble O'Hara Hi Trouble,
One of the viewers on this video asked me to please let people know that they can NOT still use the guitar after you paint it or decoupage it. I did not know that but I'm glad she let me know. Mine is strictly for decorative purposes so I hadn't thought too much about it.
Patti
Thank you, great video. Do you have to remove the wooden polish on the guitar with something first?! Or just add primary color? I am afraid the color might peel, or the image might peel if I apply it directly?
+2vamp1 You are welcome and thank you! I would remove any polish that's on it with a good degreaser before you work on it. Then paint and decoupage your images and add a top coat or varnish over it. What images are you afraid of peeling away? Are there already images on your guitar that you don't want to paint over? You can skip painting that part if you want. Was that what you were talking about?
Patti
+patioelf Yes, I thought if I could skip painting. I worked on clean tables before but never with wood with a finish on it like guitar wood.
+patioelf The guitar is clean, I was worried just about how the surface will behave since I work with regular paper, and not napkins.
;)
I found one on the side of the road on trash day...and have been holding on to it for sometime. I had intended to do a mosaic on it, but maybe this might be easier?
Please make sure people know the instruments will not be playable once decorated.
The materials fill in the wood's pores, and deaden all sound.
Tina Hamilton I had said that in the video Tina, I must have edited it out? I'll add it in captions though.
thanks!
Patti
You can simply un-string the guitar prior to painting. Just push the strings through the holes in the bridge - then, when finished painting - push the strings through the holes and re-string.
To maintain authenticity, you should wrap some masking tape (like a tag) around each string, denoting it's position. Number them as you like.
The strings are ordered by thickness. Just search CZcams or Google for "guitar anatomy" or how to string an acoustic guitar.
I agree, this is a cool project, but I would also remove the strings first. They either push directly through the bridge of the guitar or sometimes have bridge pins.
If they are strung through the bridge, you would remove the strings from the tuning keys and then just pull them out of the bridge and set aside. And of course, reverse the procedure to re-string. (the guitar in this video has strings that feed through the bridge).
If you have bridge pins, you just loosen the strings and remove from the tuning keys, and then use pliers to pry the bridge pins out and the strings will come right out of the hole. Then of course, reverse the process to re-string.
One other thing, I would also have removed the tuning keys. It would look much nicer when finished. It is pretty easy, usually just a couple of screws on the back and a nut on the front depending on what kind of keys they are.
Hi Patti, I just love this video, I live in the UK and have just purchased an old guitar for £2.00 sterling so I want to decoupage it following your video.
I have got as far as the top coat of paint, and I have a 'script' stamp but I don't know what 'Stays On' is exactly, I can't find it in the uk ... so any ideas .. I think the script will run if I don't use something to stop it!
Regards, Heather x
Heather Thomas Hi Heather! Thank you…..There's a page on Facebook called Mason Jar Madness and Decoupage. If you friend that page a lot of the people on it are from the UK and Oh so helpful! They can tell you what to use instead of the Stays On. It's really a stamp pad that uses a waterproof ink-if that helps. I thought all stamp pads were waterproof since they are ink! But I found out the hard way that isn't true. The inks get wet and smear and run, that's no fun. :) If you friend them on Facebook please let them know that Patti from youtube sent you, they'll welcome you right in. ( they were getting too much spam and had to close the group) It's a fun page too where people share their work and get and give inspiration. If you're not on Facebook please let me know and I'll ask them what you can use instead of the Stayz On. :)
Patti
patioelf ps Heather, I never get back this quickly but I just happened to be responding to a lot of questions today and saw yours come in while I was answering. If you comment back and I don't answer right away, no worries, I will get back to you within a few days if you need a response. :)
Thank you so much for your help Pati, and yes I do have a Facebook page, so I will take your advice. My guitar by the way is looking beautiful, I couldn't get the 'paper' design that you used, so I have used a Wild Roses design, so thank you again. xx
Heather Thomas so happy to hear that you're pleased with your guitar! Sometimes it comes out prettier when you use napkins that you find that are different. I would love to see it!
Patti
My boyfriend got a panic attack after seeing this. I have been trying to make him agree on me decoupaging his guitar for a while! :)))))
Milica Levajac LOL Milica-I have not even shown this to my brother (who is a musician) because he will have that same reaction. I have been told that you can't play the guitar after you do this to it though, (someone commented on this a few posts down) so that may help you with your decision.
Patti
hahhahahha ok, I will try my luck on the ukulelle then
Milica Levajac Would like to see that! ;)
Patti
Me, too, dear Patti! I'm workin on it lol
Milica Levajac Keep me posted! :)
Patti
Does it play?
+Misanthropic Wallflower I've been told by someone who does play guitar that you can not play this once you've painted it or decoupaged it. Sorry.
Patti
thanks!
;)
what is Jesso?
You can read about it here (you can also buy it if you like) amzn.to/2fEegfu
Patti
How much would you sell this for? so pretty and feminine
Ok ladies, just to be clear Its DIVORCE if you do this to your Husbands Guitar . The only thing that would be worse would be if You took a Dump in the sound hole . Then make sure he doesn't catch up with You ,
you say napkin you mean plain table napkins? Newbie hear never tried this before
Hi there....yes and no. The plain table napkins won't do right? We want pretty so they now make hundreds if not thousands of beautiful pretty paper napkins that can be used for decoupage. :) Let me know if you have any other questions. I'm happy to help!
Patti
AAAAAAAAAAAAHH !!
Don't decoupage the front of the guitar if you still want to play it. The sound will be muffled and will not project. Beautiful project though
those are called strings by the way, not chords!
Deveria ter tirado pelo menos as tarrachas 😂
Chords? Strings. Why bother preserving it as a working guitar.?
