I love Modge Podge and have used it on boxes to cover them with fabrics. I like the idea of recovering my lampshade and other things, what a fun prize package.
ReplyDeleteDebbie
Ooh me ooh me! I think the first thing I mod podged was a cork bord covered with all my favorite riot grrrl album covers and early bust magazine cut outs. Sigh, high school angst. I think it's still around in the basement somewhere...
ReplyDeleteI'm in LOVE with that suitcase idea! I've got a few vintage ones I'd love to try it on.

Great giveaway. The first thing I mod-podged was a little box covered with old postage stamps. I used to store adress labels, postage stamps, and docrative stamps in it.
ReplyDeleteI Modge Podge an old fabric lamp that I had from the 70s and added a bunch of bird and floral designs. I gave it to my Aunt for her birthday.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the chance to win this!

The first thing I ever modge podged was a pinata I made for a friend (it was a hot dog in a bun). Yeah, that made for one nearly indestructable pinata (didn't think that through very well). My friend kept the wiener remnants for years (hmm, maybe she still has it, I should ask her).
ReplyDeleteI modge podged bits of wrapping paper onto the body of a lamp. Lately, I've been making coasters with Modge Podge. I love the stuff.
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh i love this giveaway! the first thing I modpodged was a panel of fabric to put on my sewing machine cover, but I did it wrong so it never ended up going on there. I still have it.
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I created was when I was in high school—a magazine clipping collage covered old crayon box. The pencil box type with the lid flap (not the flimsy cardboard boxes). It had crazy-cool psychedelic stuff on it, and I kept all my concert tickets, photo booth photos, and other little knick-knacks in it. Sometimes some green stuff. And in my heart, it will always be MODGE Podge (because I learned it wrong). :)
ReplyDeletelove your blog, recently started reading - haven't modge podged since I was little but dying to try some projects soon with my kids
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I ever mod podged was a jar. In high school, I had the opportunity to go on a student exchange trip to Germany. So I cut out the letters G-E-R-M-A-N-Y and mod podged them to a jar to collect change for the trip. My Germany Jar still sits on my bookshelf to this day, though it hasn't gained any change for some time, it sits steadily at a 1/4 full. I'd love to see what other projects I could do! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteOooo, I haven't actually done much modge podge, but I think it's because I'm a little "scared" or clueless! This book would be fabulous! bailjane(at)hotmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteOof...I can't remember the first thing I Mod Podged, but I most recently made coasters using tiles from Home Depot and scrapbooking paper.
ReplyDeletelinds273 at yahoo dot com
I modge podged an old slimfast can with some scrapbooking paper to turn into a "garbage can".
ReplyDeleteLooks like an awesome book! I used Mod Podge when I was a child, making mosaics on cigar boxes. Haven't tried it in a long time. Thanks for the chance at the great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome book! It looks like it has a lot of new ideas. My first mod-podge was a vase that was U-G-L-Y and I covered it with cool quotes.
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway! I would love try it out!
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I ever mod podged was a tin vase. I chose beautiful napkins printed with tulips and gold fleur de lis... still have it and still love it. Awesome giveaway - fingers crossed :)
ReplyDeleteI'm fairly new to mod podge. I've made a few cereal box file organizers and a few crafts with kids.
ReplyDeleteI can remember using Mod Podge when I was a kid - I think I decorated a box. That was not too long after it was invented - yikes!!! Thanks for the chance to win -I'd love to try all of the new versions of their products!
ReplyDeleteellen(at)myerly(dot)net
Very cool giveaway! First thing I ever modpodged was a little picture frame...it turned out very cute!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Mod Podge! I don't remember the first thing that I Mod Podged but I was a very crafty kid and I will never out grow using it. It just makes me happy! :)
ReplyDeleteI've never used Modge Podge, but it looks like a fantastic way to change the looks of a number of things around my home, including the horrible step-stool
ReplyDeleteI have never Mod Podged anything, but I've been wanting to Mod Podge some fabric to an old trunk to make a toy box for my daughter.
ReplyDeleteI haven't used it yet but I would like to do some artwork!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great give away! I have used Mod Podge for so long I can't remember the very first but one of the first was maps on wood and they hung for a long time in our den. I had a hard time parting with them.
ReplyDeleteWow, I didn't realize all the cute stuff one could make with Mod Podge! Now you have me thinking about all the cute things and of course, it's going to affect my sleep...I'll be up in the middle of the night, thinking I can Mod Podge things that probably wouldn't make a lot of sense in the mornin' ahhahaha Thank you for the give away! I look forward to seeing the goodies you both create. :)

I haven't used it yet (gasp!), but I have an old icky stool I would like to beautify with some pretty fabric.
ReplyDeleteMODGE PODGE does ROCK.. I will be using it today and will post it on my blog and link up, I use it alot to put my cross-stitch on items. My son is repurposing a rocking chair for his bride to be, he had me stitch a stork. so we will use it to attach it to the rocker.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun giveaway! Waaaaaayyyy back I Mod Podged pictures on rocks. Would love to try some updated projects.
ReplyDeleteThis book looks so good! The only Mod Podge-ing I have done is some switch plates with my kids. I would love to learn more about the different types and techniques!
ReplyDeleteMy kids and I love to Modge Podge! It's so versatile - you can make a GAZILLION different things with it- we've done collages, furniture, switch plates, frames, etc... I'm always looking for something else to create with it! It is an awesome way to use all of that beautiful paper or cut up anthropologie catalogs!
ReplyDeleteI ♥ Mod Podge. First thing I ever made was a present for my mom when I was a kid. A picture of me on a wood plaque. Now I use it with my kids. School are projects, teacher presents, household decorations. We make our own light switch covers, decoupage furniture. We love it ;-)
ReplyDeletejaitaesmom@comcast.net
Oooh fun! Haven't used mod podge in a while, but looking forward to some crafts with the boys!! ;)

I L O V E Mod Podge! The first thing I mod podged was a camelbak bottle with pictures collaged from magazines with the outdoor mod podge so it would be waterproof. I love it!
ReplyDeletebnshores@shoresfamily.com
The first thing I ever Mod-Podged was some clothespin magnets that I covered in strips of scrapbook paper. They were very well-received, so I moved into the realm of glass marble magnets.
ReplyDeletekclementsdvm @ gmail dot com
Okay - I'll be honest, I've never Mod-Podged. I've been tempted many times but never gotten any. Which is a real shame as just this last month I built a paper bag dress for a local production of The Paper Bag Princess and if I'd had some Mod-Podge I think the dress may have been sturdier. I used watered down glue, which worked, I just don't think quite as well as the Mod-Podge would have, so, I'd LOVE to win this and give it a try - I'm a costumer and I have a feeling I'd use it for any number of projects. Thank you for your consideration.
ReplyDeletei was a decoupaging fool back in high school! i love modge podge! definitely need to revisit this 'fun' with my kids
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway! The first thing I ever mod-podged was a small box covered in travel photos from magazines. I put all my little souvenirs in it. rachel @ musicictysuds.com
ReplyDeleteWOW! That looks like a lot of fun! The very first thing I ever modge podged was definitely the cover of a notebook when I was a kid. We used to cut stuff out of magazines and cover notebooks with collage-style clippings.
ReplyDeleteI love this giveaway someone is sure going to have a lot of fun, I did boxes with mine it is so fun to do and it has millions of uses.
ReplyDeleteTechnically the first thing I mod podged was my socks... in an attempt to actually mod podge a picture frame with pages cut from my college brochure pamphlet. Sitting criss-cross on the floor and being generous with the glue on brush resulted in my crunchy pair of socks.
ReplyDeletelast year i took a box for dispensing york peppermint patties and made it into a storage box. covered everything with scraps of batik using mod podge. this was for my daughter and included bolts and washers wrapped in strips of batiks that were also mod podged. really looked so fantastic. i sanded everything a bit using paper bag scraps as "sandpaper" to get a nice smooth finish on the fabrics. thanks for the opportunity for such a wonderful giveaway and have a great day
ReplyDeleteOoh, Mod Podge (or Modge Podge, right?)! :) The first thing I ever mod podged was a clementine box, which I covered with magazine images and quotes I loved. This was in high school, and I used the box to store my CDs. I haven't decoupaged in years, so this would be fun to win and get back into it!
ReplyDeleteI have not mod podged in many, many years, but love to try it again. I have been collecting greeting cards for quite some time and would love to mod podge some of the greetings (like Happy Birthday) onto a picture frame.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember the first thing, but yesterday I mod podged a no solicitors sign for my front door
ReplyDeleteI remember mod podging a puzzle with my dad when I was a wee little one! It was so fun! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I ever mod podged was a 3-foot-tall statue when I was a teenager. I would love to mod podge again, haven't done it in a long time!!
ReplyDeleteI love Mod Podge!! I remember making a plaque with a piese of wrapping paper at a camp years ago....
ReplyDeleteMy son has some ideas for decorating his balsa wood planes and pinewood derby cars with mod podge and home-made decals...this could get him started.
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I ever modpodged were cardboard christmas pins my boys made for all the ladies of the family one year. We cut out cardboard trees, stockings, etc, added lots of glued newspapers, smoothed it out, painted it and then MPed it to high heaven. They turned out awesome and I still have my fancy stocking pin for Christmas every year!

ReplyDeleteThe first thing I mod podged were a couple of tactile fabric books for two children I provided respite care for, one was blind who loved dinosaurs and the other had aspegers syndrome and loved butterflies.

ReplyDeleteI love Mod Podge!!! I recently Mod Podged book pages on to the shelves of a bookcase...making it a literal "bookcase!" So much fun!

ReplyDeleteI don't remember the first things I ModPodged. Probably New Kids pictures to everything in my room. Now, I work in a Women's Shelter. I do crafts with the ladies, and the kids. We decoupaged light switch covers, pens, and are currently working on journals. Fun Stuff!

I love Mod Podge too! I did a project not too long ago with cardboard letters for my boys' room. I used their initials & used Mod Podge to put scrapbooking paper on them. Turned out really cute. I'm always looking for a good Mod Podge project. :-)
ReplyDeletebeckymilstead@gmail.com
My first ModPodge obsession was the cover of my high school planners (ie those things we used before smartphones.) I would do a new collage on the cover every year. So fun.
ReplyDeleteI discovered Mod Podge just last November when searching for handmade Christmas gifts. I used it the first time making the glass marble magnets which have been a huge hit!!!
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I Mod Podged was Christmas ornaments from the leftover wrapping paper when I was a kid. I don't have them anymore, but have thought about doing it again sometime!

the first thing i mod podge was a month a go , and was a chair i wish i can share with you guys and other things that i dint;n know i can lol i think its late for me to participate but i have faith i can winn.. :p ariettafq@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteIn the early 70's We made plaques from wood and plaster, We cut pictures from wrapping paper, napkins, cards all kinds of things. We also used a product I think made by you called Decal it, that would capture the ink into the dried product after painting it on paper. My mom used little molds to make plaster ovals and drilled a tiny hole in them, and we would Modge Podge the print on them after removing the paper. We made pendants like this. Also, Plaques.
ReplyDeleteI wish you would use what other giveaway hosts do, and have a box that we can put our email address, and give it to you but not have it posted! I am pretty uncomfortable putting my email out there for everyone. joy4carla@gmail.com I guess you can see how much I want to win. This is the first time I have put it out there like this, and I am pretty uncomfortable about it. Another option...Isn't there a way you can get our email from our FB page/account? I sign in to giveaway entries through my FB account.
Hope I'm not too late! The first thing I mod podged was a wood box purse when I was a teenager. We won't say just how long ago that was!
ReplyDeleteIn 2001 I mod podged a tabe and bars tools and made some really cool looking wall art with dried flower, ceiling tile, drywall mud, paint and of course mod podge. It was so fun to creat with.
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I ever mod podged was back in college when a friend was showing me a craft to do... so we mod podged little pictures onto one of those cheap frame mats.
ReplyDeleteI Modpodged when I was in Jr-Hi plaques with cute little girls on them and now at 61 doing plastic stackable drawers for my sons room using animal print fabric.
ReplyDeleteI have Mod Podged so much and started so long ago I don't know what I did first. I have so many projects in the works now. I love Mod Podge! And what a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to say that I've never Mod Podged ANYTHING! It's driving me crazy to know this incredible stuff exists and I have yet to get to use it!!!! And now I see this awesome book and I'm even MORE antsy to get my hands on all of it. I think my first project will be a family wall chart for when we start homeschool this fall. Wheeeeeeeeeee!
