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! :-)
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
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
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! ❤️
@@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.
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 🙂
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
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
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!
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
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 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
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 🙂
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 🙂
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 🙂
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 🙂
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
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
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
@@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?
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
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 🙂
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 🙂🌻
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 🙂

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 🙂
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
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 🙂
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! ru-vid.com/group/PLXcu8mq6IXvdXI8s97APv-R2xF9waR8zR&si=uOZSkKu6VCvAdA8Y
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 🙂
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! 🙂
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 🙂
