Decoupage is an easy and fun way to decorate everything from small vases and picture frames to large pieces of furniture. Use Mod Podge as your decoupage medium to give old home décor or thrift store finds a completely new look without spending a lot of money.
And you can do some truly fantastic things with Mod Podge! I had no idea you could mix it with paint or blend it with glitter to make unique holiday decorations, party crafts, or kids’ art projects.
I buy the 8 or 16 ounce sizes of various Mod Podge formulas, but as you can see, I keep plenty of the gloss and matte finishes on hand. Did you know Mod Podge is available in gallon sizes?
Decoupage Projects For Your Home
Confetti Coasters. All you need for this project are plain white tiles, confetti, and Mod Podge. I added cork feet on the bottom to save the table surface.
Just cut small pieces of cork and glue them to the bottom of each corner, or if you have a lot of cork, then cover the bottom surface of the tile completely.
Turquoise Bar Stool With Papered Legs. This project is my play on paint-dipped legs. I thought, why not paper on the legs instead of painting them with a contrasting color?
And that’s what I did. The wrapping paper has bold colors. Wrapping paper designs are so pretty these days.
Metallic Watering Can. You may not believe this, but the watering can is made of plastic. The metallic paint worked wonders. I brushed the paint on, and I was afraid there would be all kinds of brush marks, but the paint leveled out nicely.
The metallic paint is Modern Masters. I just added one other detail to take it over the top…..a decoupaged vintage card.
Mod Podge is a Sealer! Use it to seal puzzles, wood, photos, magazine articles, and more.

Decoupaged Nightstand. Did you know you can decoupage fabric onto furniture? The most challenging part of decoupaging paper and fabric to anything is smoothing the bubbles! Sometimes I can’t smooth them all out, and if I don’t think they will be too noticeable, I don’t worry about them.
The nightstand got a complete makeover, including a change of knobs. If you look at the before photo, you wouldn’t know it is the same nightstand.
Mod Podge Minion Characters. This playful stool is a great piece to have around for the kiddos. Makes it easy for them to reach the bathroom sink or things they probably shouldn’t, lol.
I decoupage this desk many years ago, and I deleted the tutorial. I don’t know why! I found some old curtains at the thrift store and cut them up to decoupage the desk. The bright circles are fun.
Decoupaged Map. The tabletop is covered with a printed map, and let me tell you, it was a mess. I finally distressed the Mod Podged map to make it look distressed on purpose. It helped to hide my bubbles and paper tears.
Decoupaged Confetti On Furniture. I found the small storage bench at the thrift store. Paint and colorful confetti made it the perfect piece for a child’s room. I
