| Hello all -- Merry Christmas! I have my first ever bottles of mod podge! I'm so excited. lol! I searched the net for ideas for usage and everything I found involves using it like glue to stick paper to something, and then covering the entire thing in mod podge again to seal or finish it. Is that all there is? What are cool things to do with mod podge? I can use any and all tips on this. None of the sites said, but I assume I should just pour out some MP into a cup -- and then use a sponge brush to apply it thickly to some object. Would MP work to apply dried/pressed flowers to something? Can the dried flowers then be covered in MP to seal them? :) Thanks for any help and ideas! :) |

| I usually apply with a brush. I usually use on flat surfaces. I've taken plain wooden boxes and painted and decoupaged them. I've taken clear glass plates and decoupage on the back so the pattern shows through from the front...for decoration only, not eating. I've decoupaged on the front of furniture to decorate painted thrift store finds. I've taken cheap vases and decoupage the exterior and then streaked it roughly with rub n buff for an antiqued look. I've spent lots of time in front of the TV cutting out interesting things from decorating magazines to use for decoupage, like birds, columns, statues, etc. Good for keeping the hands busy. You can also get wallpaper books for free that are discontinued and decouapge the wallpaper cutouts. |

| I saw someone once who did beautiful decoupage using onion skins. Delicate and amazing and a high degree of patience required. |
