Hi Joan. I’m so happy to have found your channel. You have some great tutorials and I can’t wait to binge a few! I’d love to decoupage some tote bags I bought from Land’s End but not sure they would work. They don’t lay down flat like your bag does. If you Google “Small Natural Open Top Long Handle Canvas Tote Bag” from Land’s End, you’ll see the one I’d be working with. Do you think this technique would work on this bag and what, if any, modifications would I need to do in the process since it’s not flat. I don’t want to mess them up since they are a little pricey (I’ve had them for years so I didn’t pay the current price, thankfully!) but I have about 10 to do. Thanks for your great tips.

Dear Joan Marie, I've just decoupaged an old wooden tray that I stripped the paint off and then repainted in white. I used the iron method with Mod Podge and, at first, it looked great, but then when I sealed the tray with more Mod Podge, my decoupage paper went wrinkly and it looked awful!! Now that it's dried it looks better, but there are still bubbles and wrinkles in the paper. Should I iron the paper again with the baking paper in between the iron and the decoupage paper, because I'm really not sure what to do and I don't want to throw out the tray because it took me a while to do the project and I'd hate to lose it. Thanks for any advice you can give me. Love from Amanda Jones in Melbourne, Australia ❤️ P.S. I love your channel and the project you did with the canvas bag and the napkins. They look gorgeous and I'm definitely going to try making some as gifts, and to use myself.

Hi Joan,,, just did my 1st bag... just ordered the matte finish,, HL here had the satin varnish,,, tried on a small piece but it was too shiny... My bags are not white but beige color and I ordered some napkins from Amazon... did the torn method, but it still shows the outline of it... may have to do some kind of blending method... will use these bags up before getting more... My question is how would I blend in the edges of napkins and what step should I do in... also once the duraclear matte varnish is on .. do I let it cure.. What to sell these bags.... I wash them.. thanks for the great videos... hope this make sense.

Use white napkins on white bags if you want to tear the edge. Or do one entire panel of the napkin as I did in the video. Allow as much time as possible for DuraClear to cure.

Hi Lindsay! I don’t know why you got all the bubbles in the middle. Not enough glue? Too much glue? Glue was still wet? Didn’t iron enough? Did you iron from the center out? If you did the edges first then the middle of the napkin will have air under it snd cause bubbles. You can try to iron it again and maybe it will lay flat.
