Mod Podge Tables

Have you ever Mod Podged a table? Re-doing furniture is pretty much my most favorite thing ever, and I don’t get to do these projects nearly as much as I like.

My apartment is small, but soon I’m going to be moving into a new space which will allow me to makeover as much furniture as I want! I’m going to start with a large desk table first, and I can’t wait.

To get inspired, I put together this roundup of Mod Podge table projects. I’m not sure which one I’ll use yet, but I’ll let you know when I figure out what I’m doing.

In the meantime, I think you should attempt a Mod Podge table as well. You’ll need ideas, so scroll down to see my picks. I think you’ll like them!

How to ReDo a Table with Mod Podge

If you’re just getting started with furniture and decoupage, I highly recommend reading how to prep furniture for decoupage as well as how to Mod Podge fabric to furniture.

You might also want to read about Mod Podge Hard Coat. That is formula I recommend for these tables. Now scroll down and enjoy the projects!
