Have you entered the world of Mod Podge? Have you? It took me awhile to dip my toes in, but I’m loving it! My first project was the Mod Podge Letter project last August. I quickly realized that this was the tip of the iceberg of what you can do with Mod Podge.
I met Amy Anderson at a sewing workshop in Atlanta a couple of summers ago and instantly loved her funky style. It has been a pleasure to get to know her better over the last two years, and I was so excited to get the chance to review her new book, Mod Podge Rocks! Decoupage Your World. Amy is the the woman behind THE best decoupage blog ever, by the same name, Mod Podge Rocks.
The first couple of pages of Mod Podge Rocks! are a “primer”. Not having tried all of the different types of Mod Podge that are out there, I find this section very helpful, and I love that she included it in the book. It tells about all the different types of Mod Podge and what they do as well as other tools and materials that you will need to complete the 40 fun filled projects in the pages that follow.
- Wearables
- Home Decor
- Holiday
Adorable!! Can’t you just see yourself carrying this little “deer” of a suitcase? It couldn’t be cuter!
Dimensional Magic Mod Podge is my new favorite kind to use. It’s used to make the charm bracelet pictured below, customized with your children’s artwork. I need to make one of these!
Amy has done such a wonderful job with this book. It’s a must have for crafters like us, and this is your chance to win a copy of your very own! Amy sent me a copy to giveaway to one of you!

I have never given it a try, but I’m sure I will soon
i keep meaning to pick some up and try it… lots of projects pinned
Yes, I love Mod Podge. I did a faux fireplace insert with fake tiles (scrapbook paper) and used a ton of Mod Podge.
I have been a Mod Podge convert since I was about 13 years old. I was even using it last night on a mixed media project!!!

I have used mod podge . One thing I did was cover a wooden box with cut outs from different maps for a friend.
I’ve never used Mod Podge. I have always wanted to try it!
Oh my gosh…I use Mod Podge for everything! I’m currently using it to make a jewelry box for my daughter with her photos on it.
I just used it to add glitter to some shoes for my daughters.
I have only used it once, but I’ve wanted to try more things and get the hang of the different types of Mod Podge. This book sounds perfect!
This is just the excuse I need to buy a giant bottle of Mod Podge!
I have used Mod Podge before and even used it recently for a project for my mom!
I used Mod Podge for the first time last Christmas when I made my mom an “art piece” (in quotations because of my artistic ability). I have millions of ideas of where/when/how to use it, but this book will just add to that list and hopefully inspire me to follow through!
I haven’t use Mod Podge – but I love the bike helmet idea. I think this will be my next project.

I’ve used Mod Podge a few times. . .mostly just to cover my sketchbooks in college. The bike helmet idea is sort of speaking to me. . .but I might get nasty glares from my husband & the girls (who gave it to me for Mother’s Day) might not aprove. However, if I were to let them help, they’d be behind the idea 500%. . .
I have used Mod Podge several times, but my fave still has to be adding glitter to my daughter’s shoes. So far we have done orange ones and green ones, I would love to do more with it though and the bike helmet looks like an excellent project.
I have used it before. It’s so versatile!

Last Christmas I made coasters using 4″ white tiles (10 cents each!) and scrapbook paper with Mod Podge. I love going to my friends homes and seeing them use something I made for them!
Thank you SO much for the amazing review!! xo
What a fun thing. I’ve never heard of the book before. Thanks for sharing.
