you can cover the fabric with parchment paper before ironing to melt the saran wrap

I use parchment paper to cover fabric and plastic! That way it doesn't melt on your iron!

You can do it with any thing. Parchment paper use always with anything you want to do

thanks for trying these out Brandy. Really appreciate it. I wonder if using parchment paper over the fabric/paper would keep the plastic wrap from melting to your iron? Might be worth a shot *grins*

Hi Brandi. I loved learning this along with you. I just had a few questions. Have you tried it on a painted surface with a napkin? Have you tried it with burlap? How about with tissue paper? I loved that napkin! Did you know if you keep your cling wrap in the fridge it won't stick to itself? Thank you for your time, I appreciate you.

I didn’t know that about cling wrap! I don’t think I have room for it in my fridge but that’s good to know. Thanks! ❤️💜💚

THANKS FOR THIS GIRL!! When I use this technique I iron on with parchment paper over it so I don’t get plastic wrap on my iron but for my “sealer” I put another layer of plastic wrap on top and iron with parchment or wax paper to protect my iron!!

Put some patchment paper between the iron and the fabric. That should help.

Thank you for taking 1 for the team and trying out all these different papers!!!😊 appreciate it! Class 101

Need to iron a long time for both paper and fabric! I often times put two layers of plastic wrap under the fabric! Also, my fabric stays on after I seal them, but I use polyacrylic!

Hi, just came on the channel. If you would place parchment or copy paper over the fabric it will save the iron from the plastic. You most likely know this, just got ahead of yourself. Nice work.

Have u tried sealing the top of ur DIY w/another piece of plastic wrap? Let it cool then place the plastic on the top, get a piece of freezer paper or parchment paper. Iron the plastic wrap, cool & remove the top paper. Who knows, it might work. I think I'll try it myself.

I keep a damp old dish towel next to my iron and when it gets gunky I rub it over the wet towel and the gunk comes right off. I work with Heat n Bond a lot but it’s expensive. I tried fusing gift wrap and tissue with plastic wrap on cardstock but I couldn’t get either to stick but you have inspired me to try again. I use my heat resistant silicone mat under my project and parchment paper over the top when I use Heat n Bond and I have a lot less mess. The silicone mat is cleanable, the parchment can be to a point before it’s no good anymore. I have a thought I want to try… freezer paper bonds to paper and to some thin fabrics. It’s a great stabilizer, I wonder if I back them with freezer paper then set with plastic wrap would it work better and hold long term. Hmmm, will have to experiment with that when I get time. Love your videos, you save us effort and you inspire me!

Put parchment paper on top of fabric

Thanks for this tutorial. I may try this method. I want to make a key hanger and this looks like a good way to make one. I doubt that you are going to take a pic and dig into your piece, so I would go ahead and seal it if that's the look your going for. Well the others pealed so easily that I don't think I'll be using cling wrap with paper or fabric, however the napkin stuck really good. I may try this method.

For some reason I expected you to put cling wrap on the top and bottom. I may try this on my heat press. Great info!

Great video Brandi. I have never used the plastic wrap method… never even seen it… Interesting. The mod podge iron on is my go to method.

I always love ur videos. You're a hoot, your DIY's & furniture updates super great!! I think I would take the pointed edge of the iron around the top edges, move down the center then iron side edges. Or start in the middle & move out 2 the edges. Keeps the iron cleaner.

Thank you for this tutorial. It was informative and helpful. Really like that you're doing these type of tutorials to teach us the best way.

Idk if they always help, ( I am so glad this one did) but at least you can save time seeing someone else do it step by step and not filtering any results out. This helps (in my opinion) you make decisions for yourself on if you want to waste your time trying it or not, ya know?? I have botched way to many projects, especially home demolition or renovations, because I did not have accurate step by step information. It goes a lot way knowing exactly what your getting in to, or knowing if something didn't work for one person you can try another method! Saves time and especially money.

Super fun! I'm impressed with your highly scientific approach! Give us more Professor Brandy! I wonder how it would work on a paper box or something. It might adhere better than the wood. Maybe even on fabric - napkin on fabric! 💡

Use parchment paper on top of what you're decoupaging next time. That'll stop the plastic from melting onto your iron.

Also have you retried the fabric with the decopage and parchment paper yet to see if it peeled as well?

Hey you! Welcome!! Sorry so late getting to your questions. I try my beat to get through as many comments as I can a day! So I have decoupage a piece and used spray paint sealer. If that's what you mean over the piece. Yes and on furniture too. I have videos of it around here somewhere...lol Napkins, paper all works the same just make sure you let the decoupage piece cure 48 hours first. Specially if it's a table top or something! And, yes parchment paper protects mostly. It don't matter much in this case for the cling wrap it was the heat. Iron isn't hot enough

I meant to say the plastic wrap won’t stick to the iron. Lol

I'm interested to know how it would work with a picture you print on tissue paper!

Thanks for sharing. I've had a love-hate relationship with modge Podge, particularly with scrapbook paper. I get so many bubbles. It seems that I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Does anybody have any suggestions?

How long after you put the sealer on did you peel it off? Was it 24 hours, or just a couple of hours? I'm just wondering if the results would have been different if you let it cure for a day or so before attempting to peel it off? I was going to mention the parchment paper to protect your iron, but a lot of other viewers did. I definitely wouldn't use wax paper. I hope you do another one of these with some of the suggestions from the comments. I feel like we were in the lab experimenting tonight, Brandi. I love these videos. ♥

Seems like the easiest way is to iron the center then trim the outside

I use that method and I did seal it, but I spray painted with a sealer. I was too afraid to wet it. Am I glad I didn’t use a water based sealer. Question; who in hell is going to try and pull it off?😖 I love those tags. Thanks for the inspiration!

The iron on method works best with Wood. Metal kinda is a heat conductor and activates from underneath probably overheating it.
