Daily Pleasantries: A Day of Mod Podge.

Today was spent ripping up the pages of old books and mod podging (a verb?) them onto random household items; namely, a textured mason jar, a hurricane candle jar, and an old picture frame.

This is an extremely easy project, even for the artistically impaired.

All you need is: some old paper (book, newspaper, etc.), Mod Podge, sponge stick or paint brush, and whatever you want to fix up.

For the paper jars:
-Rip up pieces of paper in different shapes and sizes (I treated some pieces with watercolors beforehand for a touch of color to break up the monotony of the white pages...).
-Paint the piece of paper with Mod Podge and stick to the INSIDE of the jar. Make sure you work out all the kinks and air bubbles so that the paper lies flat. Cover the inside of the jar in its entirety.
-Coat finished jar with Mod Podge and let dry. Repeat. This will create a sealant.
-Wipe off any Mod Podge that got on the outside of the jar with a little warm water and paper towel.
-You can use this as a candle or fill it up with whatever (the sky is the limit!)...If you were using it for candles, old newspapers work best because they become more transparent than regular paper when the Mod Podge is applied.

Do the same steps to treat an old picture frame, etc.

Easy, fun, and sticky...really, very sticky. I would have posted step-by-step pictures, but I didn't want to subject my camera to the stickiness.
