Are you a beginning Podger? Welcome! I’m pleased to introduce you to your new addiction. I think the best way to learn to use Mod Podge is to jump in (that’s what I did), so I’ve put together a collection of Mod Podge crafts that I believe will inspire you – from home decor to fashion to crafty. All of these are relatively easy and as a beginner, you should be able to handle these for your first try. And if you should need a little instruction, please visit my videos or my FAQ. I’m always here to help. Enjoy!

I really loved the fabric mosaic!
Love these! I just got some waterproof Mod Podge and can’t wait to try it out.
Love, love, love all oof these ideas…. Thanks Amy!!
Great projects! Thanks for sharing! I live in the UK and can’t find a mod podge brayer online. Can I get a regular brayer instead? If so what size is best?
Thanks
Yes, you can get a regular brayer. I’d recommend a 6″ brayer.
Thanks for the list Amy!!!!
I have only used Mod Podge a few times but I can’t never seem to get it right. Guess I’ll have to try again.
I’m always shocked when someone tells me they have never used MP. I will show them this list to encourage them to jump in!
Aw thanks Morena! xo
Oh wow! Thanks for picking my Doily Purse! Such a nice surprise to end my day
is there a place in Melbourne that teaches mod podge?
Hi Anonymous! I’m not sure about that, but you can learn from my videos here:

Thanks so much, Amy, for featuring my glitter votives! Great compilation! xo

I have only Podged once so I would say I need this article. I’m stopping by from Some What Simple today. Steph sent me

Hi Amy!
Your Blog Rocks!!
I have a Modge Podge question-
Im getting married next year- Labor Day weekend 2013-so I have time but
We traveled for 4 yrs back & forth before I relocated to Tx & my wedding is in Boston-
soooooo I said that to say- I saved TONS of our plane tickets saved !!initially it was for nostalgic, sentimental reason-
THEN …….I went to a wedding & saw a hat box decorated with postcards from all the couples travels -which inspired me-
To modge podge all of our plane tickets on to the a large hat box (which I have) BUT
I want to do it right- its my 1st time Modge Podging & I dont want to make a mess- to you have a tutorial or any advice, tips etc???
I’d appreciate it soo much
Marianna~
Hi Marianna! Definitely watch my videos at youtube.com/modpodgerocks and then check out the FAQ:
http://www.modpodgerocksblog.com/p/start-here.html
Mod Podging tickets to a hat box would be very similar to Mod Podging them onto a frame.
Amy,
I have a question- I’m planning to mod podge monograms/scrapbook paper on coffee cups to give as gifts. Obviously, coffee cups undergo a lot of moisture- would you recommend using Outdoor Mod Podge? And then sealing with a spray/polycrilic. I’d encourage the recipients to hand wash only with soap and water rather than using the dishwasher.
Hi there! Yes I do recommend that, but Outdoor Mod Podge is very thick so you’ll probably have to stick your brush in water and make sure it’s wet rather than Mod Podging with a dry brush. You should seal with a brush-on, outdoor spray. And definitely no dishwasher!
Great ideas! Thank you!!
I’ve never Mod Podged and have seen lots of crafts with it. I love crafts and will give this a try. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the Mod Podge ideas for beginners like me!!!
For the first time, I feel I can create crafts with the talented crafters!
i am a newby and i cant figure out how to keep the paper from wrinkling when podging. what am i doing wrong?
Hi Judy! I’d check out my basics video at youtube.com/modpodgerocks – I think that will help you!
Hello! My email isn’t in all caps btw haha. I have been psyched to use my new mode podge but I’m not sure if I got the right kind for the crafts i would like to try. I got the mode podge photo transfer medium. Can I still just use that kind to, for ex., glue down paper to a frame? Or what I’ve really been excited to do, make my own phone case? You just mode podge paper down on the pkain plastic case but I’m not sure if I can use this specific kind. Thanks!
Hi there! No, you can’t use it to glue things down – just for transferring photos. It works like this:

You’ll need regular Mod Podge for what you are talking about
Have fun!
Thank you so much! Just got some
great ideas btw!!!!!
