Rather than smoothing with your hands try putting some Saran wrap over the project and smooth with your fingers on top of that - then you won't stick to it to pull/rip it - it's a nice smooth application that way...

Also Sonnet.. let the paper dry completely after the top coat of liquid patina and then sand in a downward motion around the edge of the paper and the paper will just fall off. Use like a 220 or 320 grit. You edges will be so much cleaner, crisper and neater!

Amber, once the project is totally dry, one of the big Emory board’s from Sally’s (or the Dollar Tree) will work for the sanding,.

The step stool is my favorite. Your taste is so cool! I ❤️ DIY paint! Also IOD stamps.

I would recommend never putting your hands or fingers on the paper. Use a ball of saran wrap to smooth out your paper after you lay it down. The reason your paper tore was because you already started putting liquid patina on top of the paper to seal it in, rubbed it with your fingers and then lifted it and put it back down. I would recommend that if you have to lift it to adjust it or get wrinkles out, do all of that before you put any of your liquid patina on the top of the paper. Also I would only reccomend lifting it up once in a certain area. You definitely do not want to lift like the right side up, lay it back down and lift it again... it will definitely tare. Do try the JRV papers though if you haven't already. You know I wouldn't steer you in the wrong direction 😁❤️

Love the projects you shared. When I decoupage I make sure that I put the modge podge on all the paper and let it completely dry and then it is easier to cut and remove the excess. For the riser let it dry completely and then in a downward motion rub with 220 sandpaper and it comes right off. 😊 thank for sharing.

My cousin does decoupage, and she’s using napkins and the best selection they have at Tuesday morning stores, they always very pretty and always different ones.

We loved the suitcase and you painting the flowers then restamping the image…AMAZING!!

For the inset ones use a craft knife once the paper has dried with the liquid patina on top. Then do you second coat of liquid patina on top and it will be flawless 😁

Love the old wooden tiered tray the best...all just gorgeous 🌺🌺🌺

Loved the breadboard and the case. I loved the technique of stamp, paint and stamp again. It really looked amazing! Very nice!

Suitcase was my favorite! Loved it! It would be nice as you talked at the end, you would be showing all of your pieces that you worked on, since you don't show it long enough for my taste. Love your items that you upcycle!

I like seeing other people's problems that they have when they're crafting. Honestly I think that makes videos so much better because it shows us the potential problems that you can run into and then we can all discuss some potential solutions. I hate that KZreadrs make things look so easy and then I go to try it and I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Decoupaging has been one of those things that is not easy for me.

Everything turned out so beautiful! The little suitcase is actually an old typewriter case. I highly recommend JRV decoupage papers - they are gorgeous & very high quality. 🌻

I have had the paper tear, too, but if you can salvage a piece of the same coloring from your surrounding paper, it can be added on top and once lightly distressed, you really can’t tell. The flower was busy enough to hide the boo boo.

JRV decoupage papers are my favorite. I just bought some Roycycled papers. I have used a lot of papers in the past too.

I love Prima Re-Design decoupage paper because I love the vintage papers. I use both paper and their tissue paper. It goes on well and looks wonderful. All of your projects are outstanding and I know you will do well at your upcoming sale.

If you use soft gel (I like Golden Soft Gel) to apply decoupage paper you can list and adjust the paper with it ripping. It has a longer “open time” that allows you to move it around a bit.

Thanks for the tip! I’ll have to try it!

I would suggest you try Roycycled papers. I love the way they look and turn out on projects. I was wondering when you did the breadboard if using dark wax on the green edges would've changed the color tone enough to blend with the front green, but I like the coral color on it. That little case turned out pretty cute. And so many times the leaves on plants will actually have a tinge of the bloom color in them somewhere, so that was a happy little accident and not a problem! That little bit of color outside the lines gives the overall look "character", LOL, but that's the way many water color pictures are....so you're an artist!

Thanks for sharing. If you trace where you want to cut, instead of cutting on trace line, take a wet Qtip and apply on the trace line and gently tear...try on a small piece to see if the particular paper works with this technique first...I have found it to work well. Maybe you have had someone offer this tip before...it also works with napkins and Mulberry paper. Love all the projects!
