craftingitup: You know what acts as a great sealant? MOD PODGE. That’s why it’s useful for tutorials like the glitter flats I posted waaay back, the summertime clutch refashion, and even simple, three step artwork like the one posted here. I used it today to really lock in some silver spray paint on a tassel I made from leather cording. You can even use GLOSS Mod Podge (orange-y red label) to put a shine on things.  A couple of things to watch out for— Mod Podge is first and foremost a glue of sorts. It’s for decoupaging and gluing, so be careful that while it dries, it’s not touching anything you don’t want it to stick to.  The difference between Gloss and Matte. Matte is your standard Mod Podge and comes with a yellow label. That means it won’t be shiny, while the orangey-red labeled Gloss will. I use Gloss more often, but a lot of times on re-fashioning projects you’ll want to use Matte- it keeps the brushstrokes from standing out and shining.  How do you use Mod Podge?

A couple of things to watch out for—

  • Mod Podge is first and foremost a glue of sorts. It’s for decoupaging and gluing, so be careful that while it dries, it’s not touching anything you don’t want it to stick to. 
  • The difference between Gloss and Matte. Matte is your standard Mod Podge and comes with a yellow label. That means it won’t be shiny, while the orangey-red labeled Gloss will. I use Gloss more often, but a lot of times on re-fashioning projects you’ll want to use Matte- it keeps the brushstrokes from standing out and shining.
