[ScrapPages]

wow what an awesome technique

[VM11238]

instead of ussing news pprint paper to iron on use the waxed paper<the release is so much easier :0)

[MsNancoo]

what a neat discovery! thanks for sharing...have you tried this on canvas (raw) or any other fabric? Just wonder what that might yield. lso, I like the fact that this technique stops color bleedng...I think I will try this!!

sorry sorry sorry, hit the wrong button!!!! love this!!!

[quelcita]

Thanks so much. This is a great idea. I just tried it with your tutorial and it worked perfectly. I am so happy!!! You made my day. Thanks again and greetings from Spain! :D

[CavalierHandler]

Instead of an iron and newsprint, could you use a laminator, using the same layers, and putting it in a carrier?

[queenlucimay]

Awesome idea. Thanks for the tutorial!

[PoconoPam]

TFS!

[crazycookie87]

does it need to be on card stock? have you tried a regular piece of paper?

[Mwedemeyer]

@crazycookie87 It needs to be card stock or a heavy weight paper to give the plastic film something to "melt" into. In my experience light weight paper burns before the plastic film gets hot enough to stick.

[roongratt]

I tried this technique and it took more than half an hour. The paper became yellow and some part of the napkin used turned orange.

[Mwedemeyer]

@roongratt It sounds like maybe the paper and/or the napkin you are using is too thick and the heat from the iron can not "get through" to melt the plastic. Try a thinner paper (I use newsprint) and be sure you have peeled the napkin down to only the thin top layer.

it always seemed to me that the napkin technique (the classical one, with adhesive and a lot of time working on it) seemed very complicated and hard to achieve. but wow, what you did here is so so incredibly easy! is like...cheating legally at an exam! :) I always loved the patterned papers and tried to achieved them every possible way, the cheapest being the digital papers. but what it lacked was the texture. with your technique you got them both! it cheap AND textured! thanks so very much!

that is really neat! thanks for sharing.

[erinbrookemcdonald]

This was very helpful! I was just trying to find a video to see if and/or how to decoupage over velvet (still cant find anything) but stumbled across this brilliangt idea. Im a late bloomer with all of the arts and crafts but always been resourseful and had an eye for art and design.. but never nurtured the passion. But now I've just dove into beading/ jewelry making, friendship bracelet making, as well as taking a stab at decoupage. This technique will be usful for several different projects!

@erinbrookemcdonald

fabric!!

i tink this way is better than the special glue.

but if you have it print on the kitchen wrap(PE better) (&with laser-printer ok^^)

then, IRON ON FABRIC

MYBE ok and more perfect

[TheSpikedawgz]

quick question. What if part of the design in on the creased part of the napkin. What it smooth it out?

[Mwedemeyer]

@TheSpikedawgz I have always tried to work with the part ot the napkin that is not creased. However, you might try the crease out of the napkin before you apply it to the card stock (with the plastic).

[MaryNSC]

That is so pretty!!

[sewsmartliz]

Really Cool idea!! Have used my iron in other ways, never thought of this one.

Thanks a bunch

[craftgrany]

I love this technique! I just got some beautiful napkins and someone gave me your link!  TFS!

[sweetgestures]

Very cool! Thanks for sharing!

[SazzyUK2610]

Just tried this. It went better than expected. I also tried it with christmas wrapping paper rather than a napkin so that I could make gift tags and it worked really, really well!

[SazzyUK2610]

I'm just about to try this! I hope it works!!! Wish me luck!

[sobutterfly1]

[nenjahtodlr]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is so fantastic. You are a genuis!

[luweehsah]

amazing idea ///i like it

[Mwedemeyer]

I have never tried it on chipboard. But I'm thinking it should work.

[javalitejunkie]

will it work on chipboard instead of cardstock?

[livelovescrap123]

great idea!!!!! very creative! thanks for sharing way to save money!!!!! i went to micheals 2 days ago to get a paper pack and the ones i wanted were like 24.99 and 19.99 and i was like whattt!!!??? it was way expensive just for patterned paper i would rather do this thank you so muchhhh!!!!

[cmarlow41]

I tried this with Reynolds Seal-tight wrap and it didn't work. Maybe a cheaper brand that will melt at lower temps?

[Mwedemeyer]

Yes, I find the cheaper the plastic wrap the better it works. You can also you the plastic bags from the dry cleaner.

[AtlantaGarden]

I had never heard of this before, but it intrigues me enough to want to try. Thank you.

[themickchick]

that is great! I can't wait to see what else I can use besides Napkins with this technique. I am amazed!. Great work.

[Craftylizette]

Great tutorial!! I have loads of napkins from decoupage, i will try them on some cards. Thank you for sharing.

[JoPuttPutt]

What a NEAT idea!! Am going to be looking a lot closer at napkins from now on!! Keep those excellent videos coming. Will be looking forward to LOTS more I hope!! Happy Holidays..take care..Jo

[blueheronarts]

I just tried. However, The Plastic Wrap for kitchen use does not work. Because that is designed to under under high temperature without melting. I would recommend the special Silicone Release paper that I use for mounting rice paper. See my video response for visit my channel for more info.

[kalinosmom]

Great idea! I've never seen this before. Thanks for sharing.

[sjmeeks5]

Thanks For the video..

[sakuravirtualjp]

[mommunson]

wow this is real cool. cant wait to try it.

thanks for sharing!

[wwilllloww]

I am so glad I found you!! Thanks for sharing this technique and explaining it so well!! I have subscribed to your videos and now look forward to many more interesting videos!!

[maggiliz]

Thank you for sharing this technique. A friend in the UK had shown me using glue But it is messy and the napkin can tear. I was thrilled to see your technique which is so easy and clean.

[katekk1200000]

@maggiliz

try freezer paper

it has a PE or PVC coating

tear the paper- the coating just like smoothing glue^^(double-face/less thinner )

[Gerangideon]

Wonderful Project!  Thank You so Much

[sashasquashi]
