Prepare your surface. Suitable surfaces include wood, papier mache, terra cotta, tin, cardboard and glass. Optional: basecoat your surface with acrylic paint. Learn more

Pick your Mod Podge formula.

Prepare Items to be Mod Podged. Cut out the paper or whatever it is that you are planning to decoupage. Experiment with design elements to determine the layout of the piece. Learn more

Measure as necessary, with a ruler and a pencil, and trim items to fit. Learn more

Adhere each element with your Mod Podge. Always start with the underlying design elements and work upward (when layering). Apply a medium coat of Mod Podge to the surface, smooth, and let dry. Learn more

You're going to finish up by sealing the top of the paper with Mod Podge.
