Do You Mod Podge?

Do you mod podge? Or in other words: Have you done decoupage -cut out pictures and glued them onto objects?

Mod Podge for decoupage crafts
I have not! But I fell in love with decoupage after I learned about John Derian's Decoupage line. Now I'm looking forward to post many decoupage projects. But before I do I thought I make sure you knew about Mod Podge and Amy's blog Mod Podge Rocks.

Mod Podge Starter Pack
Mod Podge, as I understand, makes decoupage real easy -it's a glue, sealer and finish all in one. And Amy gives away starter sets all the time! The only thing negative I learned is that the glossy version of Mod Podge can be a bit sticky (due to the glue properties). The solution? Simply spray over it with a clear acrylic sealer!

Now back to the question. I'd love to know.



I'd love to try!

The first thing I decoupaged was an old mailbox in the 60's. I'm never pleased with the final top coat, even when using matte. Maybe will find help on her blog.

Yes Maya...I do mod pudge! I've done it many times in some of my projects and love it! I'm heading to check out her blog now to see what she's up to.

I've done a couple projects but was SO disappointed to find out it has to cure for FOUR weeks before you can put a sealer over it. I thought you could seal when it was dry to the touch and now I have some furniture that will have to sit in my garage until the end of October. (Plaid Enterprises is who told me not to seal for 4 weeks).

I honestly don't know if I will use it again. At least not on furniture.

No but I would love to try!

Not since I used to roll my own magazine beads!

Yes, decades ago when only the original was still available. I picked up a small jar months ago...it's still un-opened. There are so many projects to do with it and so little time.

I hadn't done it in decades until I started blogging. I'm still pretty messy with it, but seeing all the ideas around here...you just get caught up in it!

I did for my son's project in school and it was so enjoyable...it's addictive even if you're still doing the project you are already thinking of your next decoupage project.

Has anyone found a Mod-Podge style stuff (ie: just as easy, quick drying, easy clean-up etc I WANT IT ALL! ) that does not yellow after a few years?

It's been ages since I did decoupage -- way back when I was in elementary school. Which was probably before there was such a thing as Mod-Podge!!

Kristine's amazing furniture transformation makes me want to take a shot at doing decoupage again too :-)

P.S. You'd be surprised how quickly I used up my $6,000 living room makeover budget!!

Hi Maya!
Yes, I do Mod Podge.. In fact I am making a scary corpse for my front yard grave yard for Halloween. Using styrofoam bones, tissue paper and tinted Mod Podge! But I use it for so many things too!
