Have a jar of Mod Podge and aren’t sure what to do with it? These top 10 Mod Podge crafts of the decade are the perfect place to start!
There’s been a lot of decoupage happening this year my friends! When I started this blog over 15 years ago, I had no idea that I’d still be doing it in 2024.
I wasn’t sure if there would be enough projects to keep me going for that entire year. Boy, was I wrong! You all love Mod Podge and you love it hard.
So I went back to the archives to gather the most popular Mod Podge craft ideas from this blog, and here they are. If you are a beginning decoupager, you can accomplish most of these – perhaps a bowl or mason jars to start?

What is your favorite decoupage idea of all time? Please let me know in the comments!
The first one is really a Gel Medium craft..not Mod Podge. How did this make the top 10. Mod Podge is my favorite craft helper, but glazing a surface to protect and seal is kinda what it’s known for. Kinda disappointed.
Chris – There are two ways to transfer photos with Mod Podge. The first is Mod Podge photo transfer medium (a product) and the second is this method: https://matsutakeblog.blogspot.com/2009/10/how-to-transfer-inkjet-images-to-wood.html
So you can definitely use it beyond just gluing and sealing!
