Mod Podge "family"








Ok, so it's been what...2 or 3 months since I last posted? Does absence make the heart grow fonder? Or is it like when I went off to college and I asked my parents if they were going to miss me and they replied "out of sight, out of mind". Either way - I'm back.

I had found these letters cheap at Kinko's of all places. So for those who don't know the wonders of deco-podge let me fill you in. Find whatever coordinating paper you like and cut out the letters. Just put one layer of podge on the (cardboard)letters and then put your paper on it...the podge acts as glue. Let me warn you now - there WILL be bubbles. No matter how smoothly I put the podge on, there is always bubbles. But don't try to scrunch them down because when it drys the bubbles will be gone - I PROMISE.

Once the podge is dry (give it about 4 hours) then put another layer of podge on top of the paper...now the podge acts as a sealant. Again, you will see bubbles reappear. And I'm telling you, have no fear because by morning it will be perfect again. Then you can add whatever embellishments you like. I intended for "family" to hang straight across but I just wasn't feeling it, dawg (whatup randy). So over the dresser it went. So hope this spells it out enough so you will want to go mod podge it up this weekend. I'll also try to put another mod podge craft up by the end of the week to give you ideas. Enjoy.

ok...i love your house and all it's creativity. I just want to curl up on that pink chair of yours and read a book and take a nap. It's so cozy looking. Thanks for having us over. I'm still waiting on season 2 of little house...I need a good cry.
