Modge Podge, rather Hodge Podge

Mog Podge, rather Hodge Podge 

See what I did there? Using Mog Podge can be a great way to update almost anything. It's simple to do and can be a great way to save a few bucks. After finishing more summer school than should be allowed, I have been able to work on some DIY projects. The plan is to put them in my dorm room when I move back to school.

The first project I did was the transformation of this tray. It was a Goodwill find, in good shape, and only cost $2 or $3. 

I took scrapbook paper and arranged it how I wanted it. 

It's best to glue the paper down to the tray before adding Mod Podge to the top. 

Take Mod Podge, the orange label kind, and cover the top of the paper. The more the better. 

After letting it dry, this was the final project. 

The next Mod Podge project I tackled was a mason jar. This was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I had to cover both sides of the paper in Mod Podge and then get it into the jar. To position the paper I used a pencil with an eraser. 

This is the final project. It took awhile to completely dry, but turned out pretty cool. A candle or small flashlight could be cute put inside of the jar. 

The third project I tackled was an old jewelry box. The mirror had fallen out of the lid of the box so I decided to give it a new look. 

The process was similar to the previous. The challenge was fitting the paper into the small spaces. 

It also took more time to complete because I had to wait for the Mod a Podge to dry in certain places before moving on.

It looks a lot better than it did before and was pretty easy to do. Mod Podgeing is an easy and cheap fix for items than need updating.
