So I had my first experience with Mod Podge yesterday! And what's the verdict?
It's fabulous!
It's very easy to use, quick to dry, and inexpensive. It's a little messy, but not too bad. I can definitely see myself using this on more projects in the future. Oh, so let me explain what the actual project was. I bought a wooden bird feeder from Hobby Lobby to decoupage for Mother's Day. I purchased a few different sheets of scrapbook paper there as well. Other than that, all I used was some cheapo white craft paint and paint brushes that I already had.
So this is the before and after:

I also used sticker decals to add the members of our family on the little ledges. I admit that part looks a bit tacky but they were too hard to remove after I decided I didn't like them so I just left 'em. In any case, I'm pretty pleased with the way it turned out! Not too shabby for a first attempt (I think).
What have you done or what's a project that you'd like to do using Mod Podge?

So for one of my sister's Christmas presents, I decided to make her ornaments. And what would be more appropriate than her beloved Harry Potter? :) Basically, all I did for these was use Elmer's glue to adhere a wooden sphere to another wooden shape, and then painted it with regular craft paint. Lastly, I used super glue to glue gold ribbon to the tops of them. Easy peasy! I'd definitely recommend trying something like this - you could do your own favorite characters or even your family members!
