- Hi Crafters, This video shows how to use three different types of paper to decoupage.
For links to all the supplies and for more information check out my blog post here -
Distress ink holder video - • How to store ink pads,...
Out of the many tutorials i have watched ( new at decoupage ) i found YOUR's to be LESS Rambling, Easy to understand @ covered ALL the basic questions. 😉 An added plus... showing the 3 different types of paper. Thank You!
Thank you so much. I hope you are still enjoying decoupage
Thank you for teaching me the proper pronunciation of the word "decoupage". It came up in an audiobook project and I have never encountered the word before.
Very clear and easy to understand video. I have not done decoupage in years, but this video will be a good refresher. Thank you.
Brilliant tutorial my 9 year old daughter and I were able to follow with ease. Thanks for tips and techniques 😎
Oh wonderful! I’m so glad you found it useful. I hope you had fun 💕
I too have fallen for decoupage. A newbie at this but love it. Your demo was very helpful
Great work! love the butterflies paper very much! a few tips for you and everyone really. I personally like to keep my paper on a flat surface after ripping them. I keep them aligned of each other to keep the pattern of the paper that I ripped so i dont overlap too much when gluing the pieces beside each other. It's nicer and cleaner. Also, add more glue on ur piece of paper and take the other side of your glue brush to flatten the paper from wrinkles a bit. it doesn't stick when you add enough glue. It will help again to make it cleaner as well. 😉
Thanks so much for the info 💕
This is the first time I am watching this craft.. Its amzing.. I will give a try 😊
Wonderful I hope you enjoy it
Love your technique of videoing - - quick and easy! Thank you; I just needed a reminder of how to do it.

I’m just learning how to do this but I’m definitely falling in love too! 😊
So glad you love it

Glad it helped, happy crafting 💕
Very nice , now I hope my project turns out ok
Good luck!
Many thanks for the tips.
No problem, i hope you enjoy crafting
I have the smaller version of this ink holder & kept saying I was going to paint it but I think it will now be a decoupage project for myself, my 12yr old son & 8yr old granddaughter, although the 2 of them will probably get bored in 2mins & I’ll end up completing it myself ha.
Wonderful! I hope you have fun 💗
Thank you for produce this tutorial...
No problem, I hope you got some useful tips
Great tutorial
Thank you
I am having a go at covering tissue box .once the paper is put on i will put ribbon ,lace, and pearls ,wasnt sure what pAper to use.
Sounds like a great project. Hope it turns out well
I tried it with a whole sheet of paper napkins, but for some reason it was very uneven when I was reapplying the top layer of glue, do you have any suggestions on how I can fix it!? Thanks, loved the tutorial 😊
+Shrishti Pachigalla you might find that as it dries it smoothes out.
Did you take the backing paper off the paper napkins ?
I made that mistake when first starting with decoupage.
Can you do it with magazines, does the pva need to be watered down for this (if so by how much) also can pva be used as a sealant.
Yes you can use magazines, it will work in a similar way to the wrapping paper. Water down the PVA with equal parts water. It can be used for sealing but won't be quite as long wearing as a sealant product
Crafty not Shifty thanks for letting me know
ok, thanx a lot
This is amazing love! ...helpful info!
(your channel name is adorable, by the way... lol) Thank you for sharing! xoxo
Thanks Maria 💕 glad it was helpful. I hope you enjoy some of my other craft videos
Thanks!! Nice video
Why thank you
looks lovely ... i want to try decoupage on chipboard round table if i decoupage with book pages will.i not need to paint it first. Love the orincess box 💖💖
+gm bean flick m You may find that you want to use a watered down white paint first as you might be able to see through the book pages. It really depends on the look you want
CraftynotShifty thank you . yes think its best to paint thank you. Love yr tutorial
+gm bean flick m I'm so glad you enjoyed the tutorial please do check out some of my other videos and if you haven't already be sure to subscribe
CraftynotShifty oh yes you got a new subscribers
It's beautiful... But I have a question Can we paste whole sheet rather than tearing up in small pieces.. or tearing up is a technique?
You could give it a try, I’ve always used the tearing technique. I think it would be difficult unless you had a large flat surface. If you want to preserve parts of the image you can always use the technique I used with the Disney princess paper
Love the name.. Crafty NOT Shifty.
😄 thank you - I get some funny looks of people misread it 💩
LOVE IT!
Thanks so much
Can I use the greeting cards which I have sitting for a long time? Thanks for sharing your skill
+sushmita chatterjee You could give it a try. I'm not sure how well it work work with thick card but it's work a try
If you have a photo copier you could try copying the cards, then use them.
Sushmita Chatterjee yes you can. trick is to water your thicker pieces of paper in a bowl of water first to make the paper more flexible to work with. gotta be careful not to rub too much after as the paper is also more fragile.
@@isabellelabrie01984 thank you for the advice. I'll use it for sure :)
@@strumm7733 my sweetest pleasure ;-)
Where can I find the decoupage paper like the butterfly one you use? Thanks!
I got mine at a chain craft store called Hobby Craft. I've also seen it at craft fairs and independent craft stores. Just search decoupage paper or check your local stores
Thank you😊
Helpful
nice
Thanks.🐽🐘
great stuff
very inspiring
+Clem McGuinness thank you, I hope you are encouraged to give it a try
Beautiful thanku😍
You are so welcome - I hope you have fun giving it a try
yes I love to learn searching for classes in my place not available so I searched in CZcams you teach so good thanks alot
I do hope you check out some of my other videos too 💗
@@CraftynotShiftyblogDo you post in Pinterest also?
Not so much because I always forget! But you can find everything at craftynotshifty.com
Do you put any protective coat over the decoupage? Do you put decoupage on the top side of your paper?
+Kathy Bergren I just add an extra layer of the mod podge glue
Kathy Bergren I always varnish after for against water damage. Varnish from Liquitex
can i decoupage with magazine's paper and which kind of Varnish use on it.
You can for sure, you can use decoupage glue or watered down PVA 👍
Just trying to fine a project why we have to stay home Got wrapping paper magazines tissue paper definitely got Christmas paper and I only have Elmers glue can I dilute the glue? Help. Please 😀
Yes for sure! That will work you just might find the paper wrinkles a little more and takes a little longer to dry
The pink paper you applied looks more like tissue paper than crepe paper which is very textured?
Jacky Macbean Not sure if you are American but remember that items are not always called the same thing in other countries. Just FYI.
magnoliasouth, the girl in the video is most definitely not American. Neither am I and I think you’ll find that tissue paper is pretty universal. In England, crape paper is very wrinkly as Jacky expressed. I think she made a valid point actually. I also think it’s pretty funny that you found her comment so offensive that you felt the need to be rude to her. Just FYI! 😝
Jacky’s Journals SO WHAT?!? THEY BOTH WILL LOOK GREAT if you apply the right amount of Mod Podge
Rebecca 23. i am SO With You, my friend. Some ppl. just have to add their dumb comments.
Ur absolutely right it was tissue paper she was using. crepe paper would have giving a more textured effect of wrinkles. I’m an American tissue paper and crepe paper are so dang on universal the only way u could rebuttal this is if u were trying to offend someone, but that’s us Americans for u so busy trying to be right that u offend somebody who wasn’t being offensive and then wait for 100 years before u fully understand that u were being a jerk. This comment didn’t even call for the negative response
That's a NO.
Thanks for the information.
*I'm interested in the brushes you used, please share?*
These are decoupage brushes from Amazon. They come in a three pack
How many layers of mod podge for the perfect finish?
I usually just apply the one for something like this. Of it was a table top I'd apply another coat over top once it was dry
Correct name...clearly printed on the containers...mod podge...NOT...MODGE....pretty things....nicely done
🤭 you're correct
why type of brush do you use to decop.?
I use decopatch nylon flat brushes. I believe any flat nylon or silk brush can be used
How about newspaper?
Yes that works too!
How do you join up tissue paper on a large surface without a join line?
I make sure that the paper overlaps and that I've torn it by hand rather than cutting it with scissors. This gives a nice finish to the project. If you have images you want to preserve you can layer them on top like I do with the princesses
Can I use newspaper
I don't see why not!
Thank you😎
D
I thought you always had to varnish at the end?
I never have but applying a varnish would offer more protection
@@CraftynotShiftyblog ok. Thanks heaps for replying 😄
can I do this on formica
+Diksha Pathak I've never tried it but I'm sure you could. You might need a stronger top coat if it's say a formica table that gets a lot of use
I wouldn't think formica would take pva glue very well with it being plastic and smooth. might not be so bad if you're going all over the surface of the object so the glue doesn't really have any boundaries, but ideally it would be a good idea to give the formica a good scuffing with 120 grit wet n dry just enough to give something for the glue to get hold of. at least that's what I'd do.

Can. I use construction paper with Decoupage? I have a case an don't like the color it's pink,an my living room is greens an purple.I have allot of different colors of purple an green construction paper ,please tell me it ok to use lol I don't want to buy stuff when I can use something already on hand.🤔
+Harley Toots I say give it a try on a small surface or even just on an old piece of cardboard. Experiment and see. You might find that it wrinkles a lot like the wrapping paper I used but it might smooth out as it dries. Good luck with your testing!
Can you decoupage with contact paper? Carol
I’ve not tried it but I would imagine so, try it on an old box and let it dry completely to see if you like the look 👍
I dont understand why u didnt just put the whole sheet on the glue rather than tear bits of?
Hi Lisa, great question! You could glue the entire piece down like adding wallpaper but part of the fun of decoupage is the layering of the pieces and the fun effect. It also enables you to not have to worry about the paper tearing or fitting it into all the little nooks and crannies 💞
Oh i see. I am yet to try it but i am not as patient & talented as u so i will just stick it all on lol.
@@2303scorpio You do you, just have fun with it 🥰
My eyes didn’t see the ‘F’ in your name lol I had to do a double take
😂 I get that a lot in person at events with name badges
It's not modge podge
It's a tough habit to break 🤭 For April Fools one year they should reprint the label to Modge Podge 😉
@@CraftynotShiftyblogGood comeback lol! I hope I didn't sound rude. ❤
@@issystar96 Not at all 🥰
