Deco Podge Napkin Projects...something new from Japan!

 I hope you were able to attend the Mapunapuna BFC store demonstrations of the fabulous new Japanese projects. I tried the Deco Podge napkin products and these were the results.

This eyeglass holder (or mini pouch) has a zipper on the top. I used the iron-on Deco Podge film to adhere the napkin pieces to the holder. It was pretty easy and foolproof.  To insure that I wouldn't melt any of the film on my iron, I covered the designs with parchment paper before ironing.

I made this tote with the Deco Podge liquid.  (The green label is for fabric, but I think BFC only sells the pink label which is the all-purpose one.)  The liquid is messier than the iron-on film but allows you to apply napkin designs to surfaces that can't be ironed flat.  I suppose I could have inserted a small pillow into the tote if I wanted to use iron-on method.

Just think of all the fabulous items you could decorate with these products.  Go to the HM Ben Franklin Crafts (in Mapunapuna) to see all the new Japanese crafts.  In future posts I will be showing some of the cool resin jewelry I am currently working on.  Hope to see you soon!
