First developed in 1956 by Harry Tabachnick, Mod Podge (short for "decoupage") is a water-based, non-toxic range of versatile 3-in-1 glues, sealers & finishes strong enough to bond wood, fabric, glass & more. Available in several variations, their thick, creamy consistency applies smoothly, dries perfectly clear & is available in several different finishes.
Adored for it's creamy consistency, perfectly clear finish & versatility, Mod Podge was an immediate hit amongst crafters and decoupage enthusiasts. As decoupage grew in popularity over time, so too did Mod Podge, with these incredible adhesives now available in over 65 countries.
Not content with creating one iconic craft material, Mod Podge has grown to include a variety of specially formulated varieties including Matte, Gloss, Glitter, Outdoor and more. However, no matter what, the original all-in-one glue & sealer remains a beloved staple.
An Iconic All-in-One Formula
Born with the original all-in-one glue, sealer & finish more than 50 years ago, this 3 step system demonstrates the true versatility of Mod Podge by keeping everything simple & eliminating the need for separate glue, varnish or finish products, streamlining the creative process.
- Glue your paper, fabric or embellishments in place with a thin layer of Mod Podge.
- Seal to protect your work and create a smooth surface by brushing on 1-3 coats of Mod Podge.
- Finish with a glossy, satin or matte sheen depending on your desired look.
Drying completely clear to ensure your work isn’t obstructed, their soft, brushable consistency is easy to control & clean up and adheres to almost any porous or non-porous surface whilst allowing room for natural expansion & contraction.
Mod Podge Matte
Available in several sizes, Mod Podge Matte offers a non-shiny, ultra-matte & subtly textured finish ideal for decoupage, collages, mixed-media work or any craft projects.
Especially popular for finishing and sealing surfaces like wood, paper, fabric, canvas, pottery or glass. However, they’re not suitable for non-porous surfaces such as metal, plastic, or silicone and may darken some papers and thin fabrics. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
To use, simply apply a layer of the glue to your craft surface with a brush or foam applicator & let it dry completely (touch dry in 20-30 mins, fully cured in 1-2 hours). For best results, apply 2-3 thin coats at least.
Mod Podge Gloss
As the name may suggest, Mod Podge Gloss offers an incredibly glossy finish with strong adhesive capabilities, transforming any everyday object into an artistic masterpiece.
Incredibly versatile, Mod Podge Gloss adheres to wood, glass, paper, fabric, plastic, wicker, canvas, terracotta, metal & more. If using on an unusual surface, it’s best to test how it will behave first.
To use, start with stirring the adhesive beforehand (as settling may occur) before using a foam brush to apply thin layers to your surface. Once completely dry (around 2-3 hours), apply another coat to seal the edges & finish with a third coat for a smooth, glossy finish.
Mod Podge Outdoor
Specially formulated to withstand the elements, Mod Podge Outdoor is a water-resistant glue, sealer and finish ideal for everything from garden stones or decorations, all the way to patio furniture.
Whilst regular Mod Podge works beautifully indoors, it can deteriorate quickly if exposed to consistent moisture and sunlight, leading to unsightly peeling, cracking and yellowing. Mod Podge Outdoor is specially formulated with unique polymers that create a strong water-resistant seal that protects against UV rays.
Slightly thicker than standard indoor Mod Podge variants, it can take longer to dry, but the finish, texture & application process remains unchanged.
Mod Podge Fabric
Offering a strong, yet flexible, bond able to adhere fabrics and textiles to a variety of surfaces, the multipurpose Mod Podge Fabric is a game-changer for craft enthusiasts and DIYers, opening up countless creative possibilities from decorating clothes to transforming everyday objects with textile patterns or textures.
Whilst the original Mod Podge can be used in some fabric projects, the specially designed Mod Podge Fabric is formulated to offer superior flexibility & features a smoother consistency, preventing unsightly brush strokes for a seamless look over fabrics.
To wash-proof your projects, be sure to start with several thin layers of Mod Podge, covering all edges of the fabric. Finish with a top coat to seal the fabric underneath before doing a gentle test wash and allowing to air dry flat.
Mod Podge Sparkle
Similar to the Matte & Gloss ranges, Mod Podge Sparkle is a quick-drying decoupage glue that dries clear, leaving a smooth, sparkling finish across a variety of surfaces including wood, glass, paper, fabric and more!
Mod Podge Extreme Glitter
A step up from Mod Podge Sparkle is the incredibly vibrant Extreme Glitter, offering the same benefits, but with a lot more glitter!
