Decoupaged Christmas Ornament - PART 3 - "Trimming the Image and Applying Mod Podge"

In this video, PART 3, I will demonstrate how I used a small thin paintbrush and water to paint a water circle around the outer part of the image.

Leave a half inch gap between the image and the water circle because you can trim the excess after you glue it to the ornament and once it has dried.

The water circle makes it easier to tear the excess napkin or tissue away without damaging the image because it is extremely delicate. I will demonstrate how to pull the excess paper from the image by gently pulling it away from the main image using my finger.

After removing the excess paper, I demonstrate how I applied Mod Podge to the surface of the ornament. Mod Podge is a water based white glue that dries clear and it will allow you to dry any image onto any surface and is perfect for decoupage.

Lay your cut out image onto the wet Mod Podge. Tap gently to secure it. Do not rub it too hard.

Allow the image to dry thoroughly to the wet Mod Podge before moving to the next step.

After a few hours, see if your image is secure by genly rubbing with your finger. If it is dry, apply another coat of Mod Podge over the image to harden the surface so that the tissue or napkin won't tear off. It looks white, but will dry clear, so don't worry.
