Wow, PIli, wow. It looks like you painted the whole picture onto the coffee tin. Amazing and I learnt two incredibly valuable ModPodge tricks too. Love it
Thanks so much Michelle, the whole tin seems hand painted because of the texture of it, that’s the good thing about using napkins and paint at the same time.
Glad you found the tricks useful.
Pili that is so, so pretty. I really learned a lot from this post. You know I have a love/hater relationship with decoupage. The tip about applying it with water and then before it dries to add the mod podge makes so much sense. Thanks for that. And painting all around the napkin that is such a smart idea too. It looks fantastic and I certainly would not have know it was just a napkin and then paint. You did an exceptional job. Can I start calling you :the Tin Lady” now?
I think all who have dealt with decoupage have that same feeling, but I can tell you those tricks make it much easier and you’ll feel not to throw the towel with it.
Thank you so much for your sweet comment, you made me laugh with the “tin lady” lol. Ask my hubby 😉
Wow Pili, it looks amazing! You did a great job, I had first thought that you had painted the picture on the tin. I will have to remember the tip about using water to stick the napkin on first then add mod podge.
Yes Linda, it is way easier to use water than glue or ModPodge because you don’t get so many wrinkles. It doesn’t mean the surface is completely flat but at least you don’t break the napkin so easily.
Pili you are the Queen of decoupage, it looks absolutely amazing! You did such an amazing job, I’m really loving this! And thank you so much for all of these amazing tricks you revealed, I had given up on decoupage because it just always looks horrible when I do it. I’d love to give it another go now. I also love the shape of the coffee tin, I would have taken them all as well, good for you!
You are making me blush Katrin! Whenever you feel it give decoupage another go with these tricks and you’ll see is not so frustrating. The lady told me some weeks ago she has more tins waiting for me, I guess it’s time to put on my thinking hat.
I love how this turned out, Pili! The napkin looks very artistic as if actually painted on. I must say the coffee can is now quite striking!
But at least your addiction is functional. I mean look at this treasure you created!!
XOXO

Oh wow Pili, how beautiful is that coffee can now! I love how you continued the sky in the napkin and one would think at first glance that this was handpainted. Beautiful! I hope you took the completed coffee can back to the coffee shop to show them – I’m sure they’d be so pleased! Pinning and sharing 🙂
wow, Pili this is brilliant. I love how you painted so the napkin edge just merges in, Such a clever idea. And a great tip about wetting the napkin before applying the glue. Thanks, I’ll remember that.
Pili, this is amazing! It looks absolutely wonderful! I’m always excited to see nautical and coastal makeovers. You did such a great job with this tin. I’m going to give this a try. Pinned.
Pili, I love this coffee tin and how you’ve gave it a whole new look! Great tips on mod podging! I don’t do much decoupage these days but I’ll definitely keep your tutorial in mind when I do. I said it before and I’ll say it again, you did such an amazing job blending the napkin into the paint, just the perfect shading everywhere! I love how the vase looks on the built in!
