I am the Mod Podge Queen!

{not really}

I have wanted to learn how to decoupage because there is an art project I want to do this year, and I need to learn how to use the medium before I start the project. I have a 2011 Goals List you can read here. You'll notice that I have a decoupaged vase on my goals list. I thought it would be an easy project to introduce me to process, and now I can check-off goal #5!

This is a picture of the project I wanted to complete. I tried to find a rose pot shaped just like the one in the picture, but I could not.

I did find one, but it has a slight curve at the top which was hard to deal with, and as hard as I tried, I could not get all the wrinkles and air bubbles out because of the curvature of the pot. Here are my results:

I took most of the pictures in my kitchen because the lighting is better. I also wanted to show all sides of the vase, too. The vase will live on our coffee table when I have flowers in it.

I am fairly pleased with the results. I chose images that spoke to me, and I think they go together fairly well.

I don't think any surface in our home is safe from mod podge anymore.

Linking to Wow Us Wednesday at Savvy Southern Style, and Feathered Nest Friday hosted by Courtney.

Until next time...

Blessings!

That looks GREAT! I was eyeing off the Mod Podge the other day but couldn't decide what one to get! Indoor, outdoor, gloss, matt, I can't choose!

Congrats on ticking one of your goals off the list! That's always satisfying!
