Thank you for your kind words! I think you're referring to the moment in the video around the 6-minute mark, where I added a small white piece of napkin with blue speckles along the edge. If so, I did this because the napkin had those tiny blue spots, and I thought it would look nice to place some of them on the shell in the white areas between the larger images. It helped balance the design and added a bit of extra detail. I hope this answers your question! If I misunderstood or you meant something else, please let me know-I'd be happy to help. 😊
Is there something I can use to fill in the indentations, small crevices, or blemishes to make the inside of the scallop smoother before I decoupage it?
I've never needed to fill in crevices myself, so I don't have firsthand advice, but you could try spackle, air-dry clay, or epoxy putty. Apply a thin layer, and once it’s fully dry, gently smooth it out with fine-grit sandpaper (around 220 grit). I hope one of these suggestions works for you!
You are very welcome. Wood putty could also work. It might be a bit denser than spackle. If you have any of these materials handy, I'd try that one first before purchasing something new. Let me know how it turns out - happy crafting! 🙂
❤ Beautiful!
Love these made by cutting the napkin, makes it more personal 💙🐚
Great video. Very helpful.
Thank you for watching! I'm so glad you found it helpful.
I admire your patience to paint edges front and back of this shell😃
They are beautiful and I am from middle river md first time watching thanks
Thanks for watching and also thank you for the kind words! I am so happy you liked the video :)
They are beautiful and you made crafting them look so simple! Thank you for including the links. I can't wait to try making them.
You are so welcome! I hope you have fun making them :)
Love them. Looks so easy.
Thank you so much! If you make them too let me know how they turn out :)
I really enjoyed this. When you put a piece of white napkin along the edge,did you do more than one area? And why did you do this? Thanks.

ThANKS SO MUCH. I'll get some today. Someone else suggested wood putty. Any thoughts on this?

Lovely! Are they waterproof? Can they be washed?
You could make them waterproof by using a different sealer but I only used Mod Podge so these are not waterproof.
Can’t wait to try these with my grandchildren!
