Modge Podge

I'm officially addicted to Modge Podge. Do they have like a 10 step program for this stuff? I thought I liked paste in Kindergarten, but man oh man, Modge Podge is like paste on acid. Not only does it glue things together, it also makes a wicked finish.

It started when I decided to decorate my son's room a bit. We used to live in a one bedroom apartment, where the boy shared a room with my husband and I. We didn't really have much for him in our room decoration wise, so when we moved into a 2 bedroom apartment he was left with bare walls. Armed with a bottle of modge podge, some paper, and a $1 bag of clothespins, I set to work.

The clothespins. I didn't do any cohesive pattern or color scheme. I do have leftovers though, so perhaps that'll be my next project.

I hung photos with the finished clips on photo wire.

And now little boy has something hanging in his room, that not only looks fun but has photos of all of his loved ones and friends. I hope to put up some of his drawrings as well as cards and mail he gets from friends and family.

Well. What do you do with a perfectly good bottle of modge podge leftover from said clothespin project?

Make more clothespins.

I'll put magnets on the back of these and give them as gifts. Um, whoops. I mean, I'm NOT giving them as gifts...so please forget you ever saw these.

I remembered I had some frames that were a little scratched, dull, or otherwise non-display-able.

And those become podged as well.

I like the red on black. My hubby gave me a huge packet of paper for Christmas last year, and I haven't been able to find anything to use this for. Until now!

I think this one turned out best. I love the contrast of red and black.

I'm not giving this as a gift either. No. So don't even be thinking that I would. Because I wouldn't...Especially not for a birthday/wedding/congratulations. Nope.
