    I sprayed my pots with 2 coats of a clear sealer. That way my paint doesn't get absorbed into the pot.

      I think she means she seals the terricotta pot with a sealer before she begins.

      Certainly makes a boring pot more interesting! 🙂 But remember, use indoors only, to protect your hard work and use a liner inside if filling with a live plant.

    Beautiful work. You should think about a sand bag... I use one in painting curvy objects. I have an old wash cloth partially filled with rice... I found that didn't come out like the sand one.😊

    • @suzyscrafts
      @suzyscrafts  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello! Thank you, glad you enjoyed my video. You could perhaps scan your photos onto thin paper or a napkin taped to printer paper and then découpage with that. It works best with a laser printer as the ink doesn't run when wet unlike an ink jet printer. One day I might do a video about it but I haven't currently got a laser printer. An actual photo on photo paper would be too thick. Hope this helps 🌸.

    • @suzyscrafts

      Hi, thanks for watching. I recommend using a plant that has a plastic pot around it. If you want to plant directly into a découpaged pot I'd suggest sealing the pot inside and out with two coats of varnish before starting this project.

    I enjoyed your video and plan to use it to make a set of decorative outer pots sealed on the bottom for use indoors to protect furniture from potted plants. Do you find it necessary to wait until you have removed the designs from the napkin before separating the layers? I usually do that step first.

    • @suzyscrafts
      @suzyscrafts  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Gail, please do give it a try. Its so satisfying. You could cut the napkins but what I find is a torn edge seems to disappear into the surface whereas a cut edge you can see and feel when you're finished. I prefer to make mine look as smooth as possible so that's why I tear the edges.

    hi Suz, this looks so good, thank you! just want to ask if the porter's paint can go on a glass jar as you did with chalk paint in the other video? I do like the egg shell finish 😊 and can you mix students acrylic paint into white chalk paint to get a colored background?

    • @suzyscrafts
      @suzyscrafts  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hello and thanks for watching. I haven't tried the Porter's paints on glass myself. The test pots I use are quite a matt sort of paint finish so they maybe okay but you would need to do a test to see if they stick. I wouldn't recommend mixing student acrylics into chalk paint as they have different formulations. You can get the chalk paints in multiple colours these days so you might find one you like.

    Suzy, I'm having problems with the saucer. Should I seal it , paint it then decoupage it or no decoupage but seal it. I've sealed it with mod podge, painted, napkins, sealed and it wasn't waterproof. Ideas😢

    • @suzyscrafts
      @suzyscrafts  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi, i don't usually bother with saucers. Mod podge wouldn't be strong enough to seal it. If you plan to put live plants with water. I think you would need to use an oil based varnish (will turn yellow over time) or a boat varnish. Best if putting a live plant in your pot to keep it in a plastic pot as a liner or seal the inside with one of the above mentioned.

  • @ShazWag

    Because terracotta pots are so porous, do you need to use a special sealant before applying the decoupage and PVA glue-water mixture?

    • @suzyscrafts
      @suzyscrafts  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I don't do that myself, but you could seal the pot with varnish first if you wanted to.

    Thanks for the video, first time with decoupage. I have a question: Why don't you use a scissor to cut the napkin? 🤔

    • @suzyscrafts
      @suzyscrafts  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Good question. I find if I cut the napkin rather than tearing it I end up being able to see the hard cut lines once I'm finished. Torn edges seem to disappear into the painted surface more seamlessly.

    Hi Suzy, can you (or anyone) advise plz on where I'm going wrong? I'm new to decoupage & tried the napkin technique on 3 terracotta pots. Ens result is lovely, but i find that no matter how long I leave the glue to set, when I do the 2nd coat on top it disrupts the image & goes soggy. Ive used both Mod Pidge & PVA glue & not overloaded, so I dnt know why this is happening. How long are you meant to leave the 1st coat to dry? Hope you can help. Thanku❤

    • @suzyscrafts
      @suzyscrafts  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Julie, I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your glue drying. I'm not sure I've had the same problem. Can I ask, is the paper dry when you go to do your top coat of glue? Sometimes when you do the top coat of glue it does moisten the paper so you do need to be gentle in application so that the image doesn't move around. Once that top glue coat is dry you shouldn't have any problem with varnishing. As for how long it takes the glue to dry, that really depends on the temperature. Where I live, in summer it can be dry in minutes. In winter it can take hours.

      @@suzyscrafts Thanks so much for your advice. Like i said, I use either PVA or Mod Podge & let each layer dry accordingly. I put a 2nd payer of PVA on a pot yday, as it felt totally dry, but once I started putting on a thin layer it started shifting the image. I used your cling film method (genius) & smoothed it out thankfully. Decoupage paper seems much more resilient than tissue paper, it seems so fragile to work with. Ive ordered a sealant spray to finish it off, so fingers crossed.🤞

    To separate the layers, put a little glue between your index finger and thumb and press the corner of the napkin. The layers will separate easily.
