first mod podge expierence

Yay, my first Mod Podge project! It isn't anything fantastic, but I couldn't stand the color of these boxes (can't remember where I got them) and now they are cute (ish!). It wasn't too difficult either, seeing as I had no idea what I was doing. I did it during naps, fairly quickly. I am so excited to get better at this and turn "bleh" things into cute, colorful things! The only downside to this whole thing is that I was planning on using these old photo boxes to store dvds/blurays in (like PINTEREST said I could do!) but they don't fit. Sad. Oh well. I will have plenty other uses for them, I'm sure :).



Everything I needed

Photo box- already had it

Sponge brush- borrowed from my kid's art supplies

Mod Podge- bought at Walmart

Cute scrapbook paper- have a lot, still bought more :)

I didn't think of taking pictures step by step because I am just learning how to do this. I also did better with my first box then my second, which was a little frustrating. For the first box I put a light coat of Mod Podge on the paper, and a heavier sealer coat on top.

All Done

Box number 2 was a bit more bubbly. I tried using more glue on the paper and less as a sealer. I didn't like it as much that way. But still, cute :). I like using the sponge applicator too, but maybe next time I will try a bristle brush.

This project also was my pic of the day :).

Oh, and if anyone has any Mod Podge tips, please pass them on. I need all the help I can get! Until next time....
