You are amazing,,,,,!,,,,,,I looking for this !!! YOU give life for this sea shells..........

Your shells are gorgeous...this too is one of my favorite things to do..i wasn't aware there was napkin decoupage glue... modge podge has been the go to.....wrinkles can pop up.....thank you so much for sharing your experience and product info

These are beautiful! I know I am going to so enjoying making these. Thank you for a great post!

Really beautiful. Love them! Just a fellow driller's hint for you: If you drill your shells or beach glass underwater they will not chip around the hole. Use a small piece of wood in a plastic container & add enough water to cover it and the whole part of the shell you're drilling. Watch the speed & depth of drill bit to keep the water from splashing around / out. You will have seamless holes every, every time.

Beautiful! I love the black and silver one.

Please keep your website open!I just opened it and it seems to have a wealth of information. I love video. So glad I found your page!

Really pretty, clever and now I have some ideas for my shells. Thank you for posting!! Well done!

Hi, this clip is so old now and I do hope you read this one day, but I have been looking for a way to decorate some shells my brother gave me from our mothers gardens. They are very big and I did not just want to paint them. You have given me so much to work from. I will give them my own touch of course, but thank you very much. N

These are so beautiful. I have used smaller shells but these are just elegant. I will try to use your website. You find the best napkins. I would like to do these. I appreciate you still being on You Tube

Thanks so much madam for sharing your knowledge!....Great work! 😍💙

Oh giiii!! Hi! I’ve bought supplies for projects you’ve shown from the YT description you put below the video. I know I’ve seen your webpage but I’m not sure if that was buying from the links below a vid or not. Actually the only issue I’ve ever had was it was a bit tedious going back and forth to buy the tissue paper your designed. I would have liked an option to buy your entire collection or even see it but couldn’t do that; I don’t know if that was because I was coming from a cell instead of a laptop though. So great to see this video, I’m deeply happy. Keep an eye on your YT analytics, in the last several days I’m seeing maybe two or three ads for every dozen or so vids I watch. : /. Makes me concerned although I know YT is trying to fix this I seem to be hitting the comments pretty regularly to ask “where is the ad?”. Hopefully that gives the creator an opportunity to quickly catch something going pear shaped. (They actually age-gated an iiSuperwomanii vid for its first 11hrs and really hurt its performance and I imagine if YT can mess up on her channel [1.6billion views] then everyone needs to be vigilant till this little detour docks safely) Is that what you asked regarding the web page feedback? Mua!

Beautiful!

C'est magnifique quelle merveilleuse idée bravo!!!!!!

Stunning ❤️

I love this idea! Now I look at every material and imagine putting decopauge on it. I do other diy's using embellishments and buy all my supplies from Amazon. It's so much cheaper than the stores and since having Prime and free shipping, don't buy things that have a shipping charge.

I did like it was really pretty stuff

Hi, Patti -- It's Patricia -- I finally put up my little channel -- for the record, I've been looking for your "patreon" site -- only I kept putting in your name, your YT channel name and Pantheon and it kept coming back a building in ancient Rome -- so I popped on your youtube channel to see if there was a link and found this today -- so great to see you again !!!! I have been decoupaging shells since you first showed it a year or so ago, and these are gorgeous -- I finally did the shell wreath and I have some of the larger scallop shells left over, but I've lost the box with all my napkins -- just feedback on your website -- I no longer have prime, but my son said you can pay like $11 and have a monthly subscription -- but I haven't ordered anything on Amazon in awhile, and the last time I did, I went through your site -- I'm lying -- not intentionally -- I've ordered flea meds, and I need to do that again -- I forgot -- and I'll go through your site to buy that today -- I need some MS glitter and paints and I'll try to put everything in that order -- I also said in a different video I did about how much I love the MS seashell chalk paint -- in my opinion, the prettiest pink I've seen -- and the course glitter, and gave you the total credit -- you teach so much more than just decoupage so glad you're back -- you've been certainly missed by so many !!! I can't remember what I did, but I gave a link to your site -- oh. I remember. My printer screwed up to beat the band -- but it was an easy fix, but not until I'd gone through 50 or more sheets of paper -- I had the printer on top of my trunk I decoupaged -- the first thing I ever tried, and I loved it -- and I gave you the credit and a link to your site -- and for the record, after I shot the video, I cleaned the paper up -- I'm going to have to post again to prove it -- ha. Be well, my friend !!! P.

Well, so far it's all about going to the thrift store -- ha -- but I love to decoupage -- it's amazing what you can do with a napkin -- and I learned that from you -- I'm going to Tues. Morning tomorrow and hope they have some pretty Christmas ones -- I hope you and all the fur babies are doing well -- and hubby, too -- tell him tonight is typical awful Richmond winter weather -- just at freezing, brisk winds and sleet -- yucko to the max !!!

I do appreciate your videos, btw... in fact that is what got me to doing furniture. Unfortunately people in my area don't appreciate that sort of artwork. But maybe with seashells...I May have more of a market. I live near the ocean (not that near)...but lotsa tourists. so 3 months out of the year...we actually get $$$ traffic. The rest of the year, it is dead. I was hoping that maybe ETSY would open up more territory for my art work...and that is a challenge in itself. They've changed the format. AND more foreign businesses are using them for ready to made work...factory business. Sad...it was once about handcrafted items & vintage...now all sort of things are on there.

Hi Juliana and good luck on Etsy! Thank you for letting me know that my video's helped you start doing furniture. (that is my favorite item to decoupage) The shell's have been a huge hit with everyone who has seen them. I've had company and neighbors stop by over the past couple of days and even they are wild about them, they are not a very creative bunch and know I'm always doing something...These really stood out. I know what you mean about those shore towns, or even being near the shore....there are towns out here like that. (i'm an hour from the shore, but the towns that are a lot closer and on the way to the shore, see a lot of revenue during those 3 to 4 months. I did not know that about Etsy by the way. Factory stuff is now on Etsy? That's no good! That is what used to be so good about Etsy, all hand made. I don't even attend craft shows where they allow factory (cheap) stuff. Thanks for stopping by Juliana! Patti

Would you mind sharing a list of the products you use ? Curious about the decoupage glue and glaze you use. Thanks for sharing.

Where do you buy the napkin decoupage glue? I'm not finding a listing for the things to buy or where to buy them. TY!!

Wonderful

WHERE DO I GET GOOD NAPKINS LIKE fowers? I can't find any in stores

Can you use a gold paint and paint it on instead of spraying did you use shellac inside of the shell

Do you do the inside or outside of the shell first? Like with the black & white napkin shell, which side do you do first?

patioelf, why are there holes in the shells? And, just beautiful

I have never seen deco. mod podge. Where can you get it?

Gratidão!😙😍👏👏👏

Napkin decoupage glue is no longer available what would be the next best thing?

Tip: try B-7000. That is the most precise glue to use on any craft because of the tip. trust me you will never regret it I do not use E 6000 anymore

Hi Patti, it's so good to see you on youtube, I hope you get to bring us more videos here. I'm sure going to do my best to help you out. I'm sending you video everywhere, maybe even to the moon, lol. If it is taking to much of you time , (and we all know how time gets away from us) to put the items that you use on your website, would it be any easier to put them here on youtube? Just a thought. Thanks so much for another great video. Take care, and remember Santa's watching you. Brenda

Why didn't I think of that? I am forever thinking that Santa is watching me, (habit from childhood) LOL Thank you so much Brenda! Dogs are barking at me to feed them. I better go now. ;) Patti

Can the shells get wet?

What size of pearls and crystals do you use?

Such beautiful work, just loved it and planning on collecting the shells here in Florida , learned a lot from you...I want to find your website ...please send to me ....❤️

Keep it. I just visited.

You wanted to know why no one uses your website, I just tried, it offered Vanityfair paper napkins site at the top and only plain white napkins are shown? Tried a different link there and it was the same?
