Sand the top of the desk using sandpaper for better adhesion. Wipe away dust using a tack cloth.

Cut your paper or postcards to fit the desk using the scissors and/or craft knife.

Begin at one end of the desk. Place Mod Podge down on the desk and on the back of the paper/cards. Smooth down on the surface.

Continue along the length of the desk, adding paper or postcards until fully covered. Leave overhang for now.

Trim paper and cards to fit in blank areas or any areas that aren't fully covered.

Let dry for several hours if not overnight (weight down if necessary).

Trim off edges of the paper or postcards using scissors or a craft knife. Do this around the entire desktop.

Give two final coats of Mod Podge to the top of the desk, letting dry between coats.

Let the desk dry overnight before using. If desired, add a final sealing coat of polycrylic for added durability.
