Hello..I'm Cindy..I did a couple glass dollar tree plates myself with napkins and contact paper..you did a great job placing the roses and the little bees and butterfly..I like that you added the smaller flowers around the bee to tie everything together. ..I also like how you took the pattern to the rim and painted the rim gold..it brings out the golden flowers..I never would have thought to paint the back the same green color...great job 👌👍💯
Thank you so much Cynthia. I really appreciate your positive feedback. I have a couple more videos to load over the next few days so please watch out for them.
This is so beautiful. I'm new to decoupaging and have not used rice paper yet, so this video is extremely helpful in dispelling some nerves in giving it a go. Thanks for the video.
Hi and thank you. I prefer yo use a white or cream colour base but as long as you use a light colour it will be fine. A pastel or similar will work. The darker your base the less vibrant your image will be. I suggest playing around with colours to see what works for you. If you are wanting a darker finish you can découpage over white then paint around your image with a dark colour. If your base is very dark I would suggest using a different type of paper like wrapping paper or magazine cut outs. I hope this is helpful. Thanks for watching.
Hi, the varnish sets very hard. To be fully waterproof you would need multiple coats, with a day's drying between each one plus at least 7 days to cure. I prefer to only do two or three coats of varnish and just wipe my items with a damp cloth to clean.
The description in the original link showed a recipe for mod podge was in the video but I didn't see that. Where can I find the recipe? Thank you. Your video was extremely helpful and I look forward to trying it myself.
Hi, Thanks for watching. I added the recipe to my description but here it is for you: How to make homemade Mod Podge: 1 cup PVA glue (white craft glue) 1/3 cup Water Mix together! So simple! I hope you enjoy découpage.
Hi and thank you. This was a few years ago now. I think I just used a little gold paint on a brush. I just brushed it on very carefully. Alternatively, you could use a little gilt cream/wax. Hope this helps.
The one I used was a couple of hours only but all depends on the temperature and the product you are using. The spray on one's have about an hours wait but some are 24 hours. Best to read the product labels to find one that suits you. I recommend only using a water based varnish as oil based turns yellow with time.
You are so blessed and gifted person. Really appreciate for sharing us using rice paper.
Thank you .
God bless you richly.❤
What a beautiful comment. Thank you so much. ❤️

This is so beautiful, and you made it look easy, however you have a artistic gift. You are amazing!! Thank you for sharing, madlene (from USA).
You are too kind! Thank you.
Absolutely stunning! Thank you so much for sharing your talent! May I ask where you purchased the plates please?
Beautiful thank you for sharing from Scotland 🏴
Thanks so much for watching. I appreciate your kind comment. 🙏
Beautiful! Can you decopauge on ceramic plates?
Hi, yes that should work fine. If they are highly glazed make sure you sand them a little first.
Turned out very beautiful ❣️
Thank you so much!
Beautiful.
Thank you!
How did you transfer the napkin print to I assume a Laserjet printer in order to use the rice paper?
Lovely idea. MountainAngel
Hi, no need, you can buy the rice paper already printed. That's what I do. Search "stamperia" for some pretty papers.
thanks for sharing can i use the decoupage glue on fabric using rice paper ?
Hi, I haven't tried that myself yet but I have seen other people doing it online. Probably best to do a test on some scrap fabric first.
This is so pretty but what if you're base is a different color then your paper how do u blend it together to make it look as one
Hi and thank you. I prefer yo use a white or cream colour base but as long as you use a light colour it will be fine. A pastel or similar will work.

Beautiful hi from Victoria Australia
Hi! Thank you! Lovely to hear from a Southern Hemisphere friend 💛
Beautiful and great teacher
Thank you so much!
Hi, loved this video, but wondered now it’s been varnished, would that make it waterproof.. or just suitable to wipe with damp cloth... many thanks...

Gorgeous ❤
Thank you so much 🥰
Really beautiful. But - is it waterproof? Could I wash it (by hand)?
Hi, when I use this I clean it with a damp cloth. I wouldn't Immerse it in water but it is easily cleaned.
The description in the original link showed a recipe for mod podge was in the video but I didn't see that. Where can I find the recipe? Thank you. Your video was extremely helpful and I look forward to trying it myself.
Hi, Thanks for watching. I added the recipe to my description but here it is for you:

So beautiful as always! What gold do you use around the edge? I always make a mess doing that. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent !
Hi and thank you. This was a few years ago now. I think I just used a little gold paint on a brush. I just brushed it on very carefully. Alternatively, you could use a little gilt cream/wax. Hope this helps.
Beautiful 😍
Thank you.
It is lovely!
Thank you so much.
I love this it is gorgeous 💞
Thank you! 😃
what was the coat on the surface varnish of glue or another type?
Hi, I put thee coats of water based varnish on it.
Beautiful 🙏🌹💖🤗🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Thank you so much!
Beautiful!!
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful
Can you use parchment paper instead of cling wrap?
You could try. I haven't found it successful myself. It is a bit to stiff and thick.
How long did you wait in between the coats of varnish?
The one I used was a couple of hours only but all depends on the temperature and the product you are using. The spray on one's have about an hours wait but some are 24 hours. Best to read the product labels to find one that suits you. I recommend only using a water based varnish as oil based turns yellow with time.
My rice paper frayed and wouldn’t blend on my wood piece. Is it not recommended for wood?
Perhaps poor quality paper? Usually it's absolutely fine on wood or any surface.
It's a metal plate or glass or ceramic
Hi, the one I used was wooden. You can achieve similar on metal or glass.
Thank you because I wanted to ask the same question. Got it now.❤
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🌹👍
Thank you! Please check out my latest video. Loaded it up today!
You could burn the edges on the plate
Yes you could do that. The soot bothers me with that but on the right project it could be great. 🌺
Is it food safe dear?
Hi, yes it is.
Yes, it is. Thanks.
