Ann if I could share a bit of information with you. I used to work for the company that makes Mod Podge and I have demo'd at many craft fairs and helped answer questions from consumers at the Corp offices. Mod podge is water based as well, so it would be best for you to put a sealer on top that is solvent based. The company suggested their clear sealer, but they also have a glossy one, as well as one that gives a pearlescent sheen to it. Of course you could use whatever brand you want as I am sure they have got to have new sealers out since I left in 96 shortly after I married. If you were to want a clear gloss look, you might want to use a very fine sandpaper between coats as it will remove and brush strokes left behind. They used to suggest the little sponge applicators that resemble a paintbrush. I know they have their own KZread channel for Mod podge now if you want to get some ideas straight from the manufacturer. I don't want to overstep my bounds as you have done a wonderful job on these coasters. I just didn't want you to leave a wet cup on one and it turn foggy from the glue or ruin all your beautiful work. These really are stunning and will make a wonderful gift. You can make some stunning ornaments as gifts this way, which would not require sealing other than the mod podge.

Do you know of a matte sealer that's solvent based? I'd like to attempt this activity in memory care. Thanks for any help kristensadlier@gmail.com

@@kristensadlier Kristen, they make clear spray sealer in matte finish, from several different manufacturers. You can get at any craft store, dept. store, or paint dept. Being a solvent, make sure you spray outside. God Bless

For the last couple of weeks, I have been seeing gorgeous results from using napkins. It amazed me so much I had to search for tut and found this one. Absolutely love that you show blunders. Nothing worse than someone making something look so easy that you feel like a failure if you can't do it as well the first time. It also gives us insight into what went wrong and at time how to fix things. Very educational. Thanks for sharing!

These are gorgeous and they look so easy to do, you have given me lots of ideas for gifts. Looking forward to the box make.Thank you Ann xx

Wow, what a great idea. And those napkins are stunning. Thanks for the link. Hugz

Love these, look forward to seeing the box for the costers.💖

Great viedeo...and I really love that you leave the little "Oops-moments" in, because that' s what helps the viewers a lot. Love, Monique :-)

Lovely coasters Ann. I’ve been wanting to try decoupage. Thank you for sharing this.😃

These are gorgeous 😍 I'm going to start on some right now! Thanks so much, Ann

You are right about Dainty Crafts...that is the method I now use after working like to give up by doing it the way that has been shown for years. No going back to THAT. Thanks for doing a good show of presenting it to us and even those that have seen it before.

Great gift idea! Now just have to find the napkins. Thanks for the video!

good idea, Ann Gallagher, I also have some needing to be revamped, thank you Ann for and interesting video xx

What a wonderful idea Ann. These would also make a great Craft Fair item. Will be giving this one a go and see what happens. I have plenty of napkins as I've used them on creating cards with them. Be safe & TYFS

Love this too, I have done a lot of decoupage including coasters but have not seen this method before. Definitely will give this a go

This is the first time I see this thoughtful watering napkin method. Thank you!

Hi Ms. Ann. I love the coasters and to think you used napkins. WOW!!!! Thank You for sharing 💕💕

I’ve been looking for a Christmas craft. I love this idea!!! Can’t wait to try this!!!

You picked the perfect napkin! Placement is excellent. ⭐️⭐️You make this project look easy😍😍

Brilliant! Thank you I'll have to try it. Also thank you so much for tearing the first napkin. Crafters on YT always make everything look so easy and perfect so when you go and try it yourself you feel like such an idiot because everything wasn't quite as straight forward as it looked in the video. Now I won't feel like I can't do it if I tear a few napkins.

Absolutely fabulous tutorial . Thank you Ann . Tried this and it has turned out brilliant and so easy to do . What would I do without your tutorials :-). So appreciated x

These are lovely. I am going to try making these. Thank you so much for sharing.

Thank you so much Ann, I really really enjoyed watching you create these adorable little coasters for Christmas, and anytime really. I really really love ❤️ those scruffy birds and the robins too. I’m definitely going to try this out and see what I can get. If they’re anywhere as good as yours I shall be very very happy indeed. I know my daughter would really love ❤️ a set of the Robins. Please stay safe and well too. Looking forward to seeing the box you create for them too. xxx Mags

This technique is time consuming but it’s also very effective.I tried it and the results are amazing. Thank you so much for sharing.

Wow Ann, these are terrific. Thanks so much. 😊

These are absolutely beautiful, I am definitely going to try them. I did some jars with napkins, lovely cardinals that I associate with Canadian Christmas time. I did finish them with a solvent varnish, as advised below, tho I did it 2 years ago. I have loads of napkins as they are a popular hostess gift with my friends! I will enjoy perfecting this to make use of them.

I've really loved making theses coasters. I tore holes in the first half dozen. What worked for me in the end, was to put the plastic with the napkin under a very slow tap, then when I turned the plastic over onto the coaster, I pressed really hard and most of the water came out, which meant I hardly had to touch it with the brush. Thank-you so much for all your how to videos. Perth AU

Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. I use like a clear thin contact plastic type paper to cover mine verses just modge podge to protect them from condensation from drinks. I lay the clear contact plastic or clear vnyl (dollar tree) on coaster after it's been cut to fit then I lay wax paper over it and use an lower setting on iron and iron over wax paper until the plastic sheet melts onto coaster enough to make it stick. My wording isn't great but I think you get my point. You can also just modge podge then add clear vinyl sheet over too.

These are beautiful hunni & I can see them making wonderful presents, especially if you an get photos of people's pets or family memories printed out onto thin enough paper. XXX
