MOD PODGE TO THE RESCUE

Many of you are old enough to remember Mod Podge from the 60's and 70's....some of you are not! It is a glue and sealer...you can put it on just about anything! Learn more about it's history here. And see a women who uses it on everything here.
I had an old cork bulletin board, so I Mod Podged the cork, added scrap book paper, and Mod Podged over the top to seal it.
This is the paper up close....
Then I put it on the fronts of my new magazine holders, so they all look the same. Much better than the old black ones. I am actually sewing a project I will show you soon....I do other things besides paint everything in site! YEAH, my book is at the printers...so, September it will be available, I will tell you when you can get it!

I love mod podge! I covered an entire filing cabinet one time with tiny pictures from Mary Englebriet calendars. It sure spruced it up. Love your magazine holders!
