1 Prepare the necessary materials
  • 2 Prepare the surface for Mod Podge application and, if necessary, paint the surface with acrylic paint.
  • 3 Cut the paper to fit your surface.
  • 4 Apply a medium coat of Mod Podge glue to both the back of the paper and the surface itself.
  • 5 Smooth the paper over the surface. Continue ironing the paper until you remove any air bubbles underneath. A hand roller will help you with this.
  • 6 Let Mod Podge dry for at least 15-20 minutes.
  • 7 Apply a top coat of glue to the entire surface and let it dry.
  • 8 Apply a second coat of glue to the surface and let it dry.
  • 9 Wait 24 hours before using your project.
  • Tips

    • Remove any excess Mod Podge that may come off the edges of the paper with a paper brush.
    • When your work is complete, use a clear acrylic sealant. This will avoid / get rid of stickiness and add extra strength.
    • The roller is a great tool for smoothing paper onto surfaces.
    • To make your own Mod Podge, pour 8 ounces of white washable glue, 4 ounces of water into a container and mix!
