Deck the Halls with Mod Podge Holiday Crafts

Get started with your projects for the holiday season early! Here is a huge collection of Mod Podge holiday crafts that you’ll love.

Mod Podge holiday craft tutorials

It’s almost here my friends – the holiday season! That means it’s time for holiday crafts. In the crafting world we get to start a little earlier so that people have time to make stuff.

That’s why we see all those goodies in the craft store so early, right? I typically start making gifts and decorations in late summer so that I get extra time. I want to be ready when the holidays roll around!

I have several decoupage tutorials on my blog for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and the general seasons around there, so I thought I’d share them all in one post so that you could get started now.

I’ve got a few projects in mind already, so as I finish I’ll be adding to this collection (hence the 125+).

Mod Podge to Use

Check the formula guide, but you’ll be able to use a variety of formulas for these projects. I definitely recommend the regular Gloss and Matte, but I also encourage you to take a peek at formulas like Sparkle Mod Podge and Dimensional Magic.

They are perfect for the holidays!

Where to Get Surfaces

Obviously you can hit up the craft stores. But, also check the recycle bin . . . there are a lot of hidden gems in terms of surfaces, and I’ve got lots of recycled ideas below.

If I can’t find the basics at a craft store or the Goodwill, I hit up my favorite online stores. It’s nice to stock up and get those free shipping bonuses if you know what I mean!
