this is a piece of computer paper that i mod podged onto a piece of wood
this is a glass face that i decoupaged a napkin onto and this is an easter jar that i made that's
right full of wrinkles and the bottom kind of wrinkled up and doesn't look all that nice
and a jar that's just bad i'm gonna clean these up so i can redo them
the first project that i'm gonna fix up is this little wooden sign and i decoupage just with
regular computer paper it onto the piece of wood and then put a top coat of mod podge i'm putting
really hot warm water dabbing it on and i'm going to let it sit for about 15 minutes okay i've let
it sit for about 15 minutes and i'm going to take my scraper and i'm going to start at the corner
and i'm just going to scrape away and see if it'll lift off and you might have to add a little
bit more warm water and let it sit a little bit longer but it should eventually just peel right
off
and as you can see as the water penetrates through it is quite easy to scrape off
sometimes for no apparent reason with
mod podge or any sort of decoupage you just have bubbles and wrinkles that show up for
no reason and that's what just happened with this sign i just had one bubble that showed up
on the side of it and it's easier just to scrape it completely off and start right from scratch
and i got the graphic completely scraped off and i'm just going to give it a little bit
of a sanding with a sanding block and it'll be ready to redo into a new sign
i'm just using an 80 grit sanding block and just giving it a light sand
it's not taking too much of the paint off and you can always just touch up the paint after
now for the next project gone wrong i'm gonna fill up my kitchen sink with really hot soapy water and
the project that i'm going to try to fix has a layer of chalk paint a decoupage napkin applied
with mod podge and then a top coat of mod podge so i'm going to put it in the sink and let it soak
you'll probably need to soak this for 10 or 15 minutes in the hot water
and once you do that you'll see how easy the chalk paint will scratch right off the glass bottle
as you can see it's only been in there a few minutes and it's already starting to scratch off
okay it's been 10 minutes and you can see how easy it's peeling right off the glass jar
my poor little easter jar was so cute the napkins that i got were so cute
but i'm going to redo another one and the same way and i'm going to
try to do it without as many bubbles and wrinkles and i'll be much happier with it
just a little bit more scraping and it's all ready for me to redo again
next project fail this is just a napkin decoupage with mod podge
and then a top coat of mod podge put on it same thing just soak it in some hot soapy
water leave it for 10 or 15 minutes and it'll probably peel right off really easy
and as you can see it does it peels right off really easy and i'll clean it up again and redo
it again if you have a project that you're not happy with you can see how easy it is just to
let it soak start from scratch and you'll feel much better about it after doing it a second
time plus you're learning as you go i always take this as a learning experience figure out
where i went wrong and then try to improve it the next time and it came off really easy
and again just a glass jar that i decoupaged a napkin onto i tried to do a full napkin and
it wrinkled up on me halfway through and just went sideways real fast so just soak it 10 or
15 minutes and you'll see that'll lift off really easy now this process works on the mod podge matte
or gloss finish not the dishwasher safe mod podge it would be a lot more difficult to remove that
and the last project that didn't go very well as this little wooden shelf sitter
i decoupaged a napkin that i made onto this little sign so it has decoupage napkin with
a top coat of mod podge and i'm just going to soak it with some hot water and sometimes
these are a little bit more difficult to scrape off but it takes a little bit of
elbow grease and it should all come off so i'm just going to use my scraper and scrape away
and as you can see it's been a little bit stubborn to scrape off but i'm just going
to work away at it because i'm persistent and i want to use this again to make a new sign
so i'm going to just scrape away until it all comes off
okay i got it all off it was a little bit of a job but i'm just going to take
the sanding block now and smooth it and i'll probably put another little
top coat of chalk paint on top of it before i make it into a sign again
so all my failed projects are fixed up and i have a clean palette to start all over again let's hope
Thursday and Friday's projects turn out a little bit better than Monday Tuesday and Wednesdays
