Mod Podge is a thick, gluey substance I suspect is actually just boiled-down Elmer's glue. It comes in two varieties: Glossy (orange label) and Matte (yellow label). I prefer the Glossy, and so should you. You can find it at any craft store.

Now I will teach you the secrets of Mod Podge. This is what you will need:

• Glossy Mod Podge
• one of those cheap spongy brushes
• many pictures
• scissors
• an object

The idea is to cover your object of choice with pictures! It will work with shrines, boxes, furniture, frames, books, walls, and just about anything else. The best kind of pictures to use are naked ladies or religious figures. You should never use pictures of cats or children or celebrities. They ruin any project.

Coat your object with Mod Podge, then a picture, then press down, smooth out the air bubbles, add more Mod Podge, and you're on your way! You can't use too much. Layer it on! Go hog wild! Just make sure you let each layer dry before adding more, or it will stay cloudy (it's clear & glossy when dry).

It is always a good idea to add glitter when you are finished. Now you have a present that even the Girl Who Has Everything could not resist!

Here is an example of a wonderful Mod Podged gift!
