The all-in-one glue, sealer, and finisher that every decoupage project starts with. The matte formula dries completely clear without any shine, letting your paper layers do all the talking.
Thin tissue paper conforms beautifully to curved surfaces and almost disappears under Mod Podge, giving a painted-on look. The floral prints in this set are exactly the right weight for furniture and tray projects.
Foam brushes apply Mod Podge without leaving bristle marks and are cheap enough to throw away when they get stiff. Buy in bulk — you will always need more than you think.
A light sand between sealer coats gives a glassy, professional finish. Essential for anything that will be handled regularly, like a tray or box lid.
