We are so excited to kick off National Mod Podge Month! Each May Plaid celebrates the fun and creativity of all that Mod Podge has to offer. We are crazy for Mod Podge and each year we go all out with a huge celebration for this amazing crafting product that has been a staple in so many craft rooms across the world.
In 1967, Atlanta interior designer Jan Wetstone introduced a fast and easy alternative to the time-consuming and labor-intensive process of decoupage. Her invention, Mod Podge, revolutionized decoupage, and we have never looked back! For over 50 years Mod Podge has been America's favorite glue, sealer, and finish.
This retro brand is a household name in the crafting industry and we are so proud to announce that this year Mod Podge was inducted into The Association For Creative Industries (ACFI) first class of the Product Hall of Fame. Check out our acceptance speech from our President, Mike McCooey.
In this blog, we want to discuss the Mod Podge formulas, learn more about what's new to Mod Podge, and share helpful tips and tricks for crafting with Mod Podge.

Now without further ado, let's learn some more details about some of the most popular formulas of Mod Podge.
The original formulas of Mod Podge come in a matte and gloss in a variety of convenient sizes. These two formulas have made Mod Podge America's favorite decoupage medium and we are so excited to celebrate all the great things that Mod Podge can do. 
Napkin crafts are one of the most popular ways to use Mod Podge. Take your notebooks to the next level by giving your journal covers some flair with napkins and Mod Podge!
This decoupage napkin jewelry box will look lovely on your nightstand or as a gift to a close friend.
Create a simple, yet colorful DIY bird feeder with clay pots, plates, and Mod Podge Outdoor! This formula is great for sealing and protecting your outdoor DIYs from the elements.
This formula is one of the most popular in the Mod Podge line! Photo Transfer is a great way to personalize all your projects. We have an entire section of our website devoted to Mod Podge Photo Transfer with tips, tricks, how-to, info sheets, and so much more. If you love to add your photos to all your crafts, you need to check out this easy-to-use formula and all that Mod Podge has to offer.
Mod Podge Ultra is a super-strong, spray formula that works as an all-in-one glue and sealer with a high adhesion level. Mod Podge Ultra is a part of the Mod Podge family of brands but is different compared to any other Mod Podge formula. Though this is a thinner formula, it has the same strong durability as Mod Podge.
Mod Podge Dimensional Magic allows you to easily add dimension to your artwork. This epoxy-like formula creates a faux mosaic texture that when dry this glue is clear allowing the surface color to show through. In this project we filled bottle caps with Dimensional Magic to create a fun tic-tac-toe board.
We are only scratching the surface when it comes to all the Mod Podge formulas. Did you know that there are 27 Mod Podge formulas? To learn more about ALL the formulas, check out our Mod Podge section of our website.
