    Thank you for your tutorial! Yours went a little more detailed on certain aspects I wanted to know than most others. Such as, how to remove the excess design from the edges of the shell more cleanly. The addition of your sweet co-host, Jagger, was chef’s kiss! Hope you and Jagger are well!❤

    The part about painting the shell is ‘blink-and-you-miss-it’ I watched twice to catch this detail. The project is simple and end result lovely.

    Your tutorial is excellent. Thank you very much. I peeled the two layers off my napkin. I’m wondering why you find this step necessary or better? Also your cat is precious. Thanks again!

    The reason why I pull that second layer off is because when I didn’t, many times when I was going to smooth it out, the top layer buckled and the bottom layer stayed! I guess it doesn’t always happen and believe me I know how difficult it is to smooth it out with such a thin piece of material but I just find that it’s better to get all the bottom layers off. And what’s equally as important is definitely using saran wrap or a plastic bag of some sort when you’re smoothing it.

    Why can’t we use matte modge podge?

    You absolutely can. It’s really a personal preference. I personally like the shine that it leaves.
