More tips for you

1. When applying the Mod Podge, it is best to use thin layers rather than thick ones. Thin layers will dry faster and more evenly.
2. Apply the Mod Podge from top to bottom rather than side to side. Being consistent with the strokes will also help make the finished project look better.
3. If you are using a lightweight design, such as a napkin, there may some shifting. You can simply adjust the shifting while applying the Mod Podge.

Personalize your decoupage vase.

 

This vase project is easy and colorful when you use a beverage or similar kind of napkin.
There are some ways to make this project even better.

Try one of these ideas.

• Instead of using a napkin, use printed words from a newspaper, magazine, or something personal such as program from an event.
• Personalize this for a gift recipient by using their photo or something relevant such as a wedding invitation.
• Add some glitter between layers make the vase sparkle. I suggest that you allow the layer to fully set to prevent the glitter from traveling.

1. Start by applying a thin layer of Mod Podge to the entire length of one side of the vase
2. Carefully place the napkin on the vase, forming the edge onto the bottom. Gently press and form the napkin to the shape of the vase.
3. Rotate the vase repeating this process so that the entire vase is covered. Trim any excess napkin that overhangs the vase
