How to use regular paper with mod podge. Using mod podge is an easy way to adhere paper onto wood. If it peels off really easily it s not going to work. Allow the mod podge to dry for at least 15 to 20 minutes. Then spray both sides of the paper with a clear acrylic sealer to help protect it. For example if you are mod podging an image from a thin napkin onto a dresser use a thinner coat of mod podge.

Apply a layer of mod podge to the base item. Flip the paper back over with a gentle but firm hold while you smooth it into contact. Cut out the paper or whatever it is that you are planning to decoupage. Place the item you are mod podging onto your base item and smooth it down. Position your paper using a hinge of tape 2.

Wait for it to dry then paint both sides with mod podge. Cover the back of the item you will be applying with mod podge. You may need to wet the paper multiple times in order to remove it entirely. Apply the mod podge of your choice to your surface. You can apply it to your paper in thin layers let each layer dry for 20 to 30 minutes.

Spray the back of the paper with water once the mod podge dries. Prepare items to be mod podged. Mod podge the paper fabric down and let it dry for 15 minutes. Keep in mind that mod podge is sealing your paper so you cant paint it with every kind of paint anymore after you applied mod podge to your paper. You ll still be able to peel off the mod podged paper fabric so don t worry about ruining the surface.

Flip over your paper to the backside while the hinge of tape keeps it in place 3. Let the paper dry all the way before you use it for your project. Before you apply the paper sand the surface of the wood so it s nice and smooth. Cut items to fit the surface. Spray the front and back of the paper with an acrylic sealer.
