Decoupage is the hottest trend in the crafting world. Mod Podge is an all-in-one glue, sealer and finish that we can use to do lots of decorations and craft projects with a little bit of paper and cloth. The possibilities are only limited by our imagination!
I am new to Mod Podge and decoupage tools, so I excitedly did many projects using Mod Podge with my children. We will be sharing our projects one at a time, so stay tuned :) Here is a link to the Mod Podge Formula guide, which I found useful because it has tips and tricks for the beginners :)
a shoebox

Mod Podge with glitter *
foam brush
cloth
iron optional
scissors
paper to line the working surface
*Mod Podge can be found at craft stores like Michaels, and it is available in the 6-pot sampler pack or 8 oz bottles.
First iron and cut the cloth to the fit and cover the shoebox. Apply Mod Podge generously on the shoe box and glue the cloth. Put Mod Podge in a small section and cover with the cloth before doing another section because Mod Podge dries fast.
After the cloth glued on the shoebox dries completely, apply a coat of Mod Podge glitter and let it dry completely before using. This would make a lovely Personalized gift. I gave this box to my daughter to keep her treasures.
