Happy Monday! To kick off a new week we want to share with you a brand new Mod Podge project. Have you had a chance to craft with some of our new Mod Podge items? If not, here is a great project that incorporates our new rub on transfers, podgeable shapes, and papers. Chris Williams created this great mixed media project. Mixed media crafts make for great home decor, especially to create wall art. This is a perfect project for beginners that will only take about an hour to make.
