Great tutorial!
I wonder..is mod podge suitable for decoupaging fabric onto a kitchen table as well?
How can I make it more durable and water proof?
that tutorial was great and funny. i guess she made the mistakes i would have made for me! ill definatley be trying to dec. some fabric onto....something...theres gotta be something laying around here that NEEDS it hahah
What an adorable dresser! I'm going to do the same with a shelving unit. Is the finished surface wipeable? How durable is it?
Okay, I have my fabric, and some mod podge... But how much am I going to need? I'm a little worried about starting my project and needing more mod podge. How much did you use for this side table?
Hi Rhonda! It would probably take me one 8 oz. bottle to do this (maybe not even the whole thing).
The instuctions look great, but I'm worried that my fabric will ravel. Do you think I could/should (1) finish the edges with a zig zag stitch; (2) use Stitch Witchery on the edges before decoupaging or (3) decoupage a larger piece of fabric before applying it to the furniture and cut it to size? (I know you don't recommend #3, but it sort of makes sense to get a perfect edge. Thanks!
Anonymous, I actually do recommend #3. Please see my FAQ for tips on fabric and Mod Podge:
