Learn how to decoupage furniture with Mod Podge using this unique collection of tutorials. You’ll duplicate the look of high end pieces on a small budget!
If there’s one thing that makes me happy, it’s bringing back a piece of furniture with my trusty bottle of Mod Podge.

When I see large wrinkles on a refurbished piece made with Mod Podge, it’s typically because someone got skimpy on the Mod Podge. Remember . . . Mod Podge starts drying quickly! The best thing to do is to use a medium-heavy layer and a Mod Podge brayer; then wipe away the excess Mod Podge that comes out the sides using a paintbrush.
There are three mediums that people are typically using on top of furniture:
If you are wondering what Mod Podge formula to use to for your furniture, I recommend Furniture Mod Podge. It hardens to a durable, satin finish.
