Can you decoupage on plastic

I like the print on the napkins! I have learned to not take myself seriously and to laugh at myself when doing these projects. The moment I stop laughing is when I will stop creating.

I must admit, your title was intriguing to me how NOT to do something. Been there! But — you persevered and did not let those plastic bottles defeat you! The final product is so appealing. The finished bottles are quite attractive, and I love the finishing touches you put on them with ribbon and twine.

Great job! Thank you Carol. When someone gives you a gift you cannot afford to disappoint. Otherwise I might have given up after the first hour. Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by!! Love this idea!! So simple yet so pretty and unique!! Hugs, Deb. But those turned out really cute! You are too hard on yourself, Mary! Your bottles are pretty! Just perfect for Spring. Take care, Cynthia. I love that you wrote this explaining what happened! I was thinking that I am the only blogger around that posts fails haha!

This was such a fun post to do Katerina. Not only was I humbled but I actually learned a lot. And you got to see my human side! What beautiful muffins…. You saved it in the end, they look great, especially the ones that you painted white, so well done.

The muffins were beautiful but even more yummy! Your step by step walking us through your thought process as well as the crafting process is hilarious!!

Everything we do teaches us a lesson. They turned out beautifully though and I love the look of the pretty napkins you picked out. Thanks so much for linking them up to the Inspiration Galore Project Party last week. You are one of my features tomorrow over at Recreated Designs. Pinned and shared. Decopage is mess business.

The napkins you used are adorable. I think the bottles turned out cute and the color is perfect for spring. Thanks for sharing at Monday Social. Mary, I did not read where you did lot of bragging, instead, you shown much humanity by admitting your mistakes. I love the way your project turned out. Your daughter friend must be so proud! I would have never thought to do anything like this. Your result is fabulous. Thank you for not giving up, and presenting this breathtaking results to your readers, and step by step of how we too, can also get the same results.

Thank you so much Ivory. Your comment is so sweet. I always try to look at my projects with a sense of humor. Nothing is worth getting so frustrated over that we have to ruin our health. Thank you for letting me know you enjoyed my post. Oh, but it does make a good story!! Relating here. What mistakes? I just see a creative person who gave it her best shot. Stacey no need to worry about a craft turning out terrible. You saw from my bottle fiasco that even if it was not perfect it was still a great learning experience.

The white bottles turned out great. Good for you hanging in there and finishing. You have saved us all hours of frustration, wasted materials and time! I love that you shared the fails, the end result does look great. Thanks for sharing at HomeMattersParty. What a creative idea to use the plastic bottles. I love to decoupage with napkins! Thanks for sharing with SYC. Well, for all your despair, I have to say that they turned out quite lovely!

I have covered eggs with napkins before but not bottles. Thanks for sharing this. Gives me some things to think about before starting my first paper napkin decoupage project. The bottom line is you can really not go wrong with it, I think it is just a preference. Good luck! Well after looking and looking I finally found you. Your the first I have a better understanding of what to do. Thank you Melanie for taking the time to reach out to me to let me know.

Happy Holidays to you!! Mary, I am so glad you are still learning! We have all tried something and messed it up. That is how we learn. As I write this we are getting eight more inches of snow, as if we needed any more! We are always learning Michele. I am just painting a rubber bucket right now and the paint is peeling off.

So it never ends. We too got a few inches of snow and are also expecting it to turn into freezing rain. The worst kind of weather. Napkins are really pretty for things like that but a big pain. You learn the little cheats by messing up and I learned some from you!

I have those napkins! Thanks Jeanie. Good luck with your Easter eggs. Thanks for sharing your tips! It will save us from making the same mistakes. I have been wanting to do more decoupage with napkins. I have only used this kind of technique for greeting cards.

Yours turned out great! Thanks so much for sharing at Thursday Favorite Things! Thanks for sharing… I think the bottles look great!

Thank you Julie, I think we always learn something when we make mistakes. Now if only we can keep from repeating them. I totally get it! I like your bottles! Especially when grouped together. The blue and white undertones complement each other.

I feel your frustration. I am surprised at how the blue and white paint make the bottles look different. There does exist a few projects which end up taking too much of our time with lesser than expected outcome. However we do learn something from them. Seems like this is one of them. Well done. Oh, Mary, you crack me up! In fact, I recently did a fairly quick craft project truly that ended up in the trash once they were finished.

You win some, you learn some. At least we can say we learned from our mistakes. Or in my case I try but even then I need more mistakes to learn Haha!!

This is hilarious! You could have just posted this like normal and acted like you had no problems. I find it sooo funny because I thought decoupaging a plastic ornament would be easy and it was a terrible fail.

How people get those beautiful eggs around Easter time is beyond me. For the best experience on our site, be sure to turn on Javascript in your browser. Plastic products are ideal for decorating with transparent decoupage paper and tissue paper. Choose from white or transparent two-piece plastic items, each with their own style and advantages. We recommend gloss or matt decoupage lacquer or decoupage lacquer with glitter for glueing.

I would use the Hard Coat for furniture, but you can also put a clear sealer on top of the Gloss. Acrylic products typically dry right away, or within hours or in humid environments maybe longer.

You can touch them, hang them, but you shouldn't expose them yet to rough handling. Curing is when solvents in a product evaporate and a product reaches its maximum strength. Curing is a chemical process. Even craft paint goes through this process, as does wall paint, etc. You can hang a Mod Podge canvas once it's dried. Wear Mod Podge earrings. Fill a Mod Podged mason jar with candy and gift it. You shouldn't let people use a Mod Podge stepstool or table until it's cured. Or a Dishwasher Safe mug.

This is because those particular items will get handled and "abused" more. So you want your acrylic medium in this case, Mod Podge to have time to reach its strongest state. Also an item is curing the entire 3 - 4 weeks. That means about 1. But cure time depends on environment where you live and other factors. Use your best judgement on when you can use the Mod Podged item based on how the final product will be handled.

If it's going to be beat up or washed, wait the four weeks. No, you don't need to seal the pages first.

However, they might wrinkle. I recommend misting them with water due to being thin. If it's on a table, I'd consider using Mod Podge resin. How do you midge pudge onto glass?
