review 1: Mod Podge Rocks and oh yes, this book rocks, too. It's filled with lots of great ideas for beginners and serious crafters alike. Author Amy Anderson gives an excellent introduction to various Mod Podge products and basic techniques for using them on a range of projects: from wearables like cute embellished boots and accessories, to home decor items including furniture, furnishings and decorative pieces, as well as holiday projects and gifts. Among my favorites were the art charm bracelet, a clock whose hours are marked with washi tape-covered tiles, the DIY backgammon board and the Christmas countdown calendar.Most of the projects involve decoupage but there are a few other techniques to try like simple painting for decor, making stencils and screen printing using Mod Podg... moree. The tutorials are simple to follow, the instructions are clear and accompanied by several photos. There are over 40 projects in the book - plenty to satisfy most people and even if you don't like some, the techniques are easily adaptable to other projects. The best thing is the projects are all pretty easy to complete. In fact, this would be a great book for crafting for and with kids.
review 2: Got this for bedtime eye candy. Most of the projects are too kitchy for my taste, but there are a few things I like. Overall, my impression of this book is, "Dang, these are some women with time on their hands!" (Why is it never men gluing shit to other shit to make it look cute? It's always women.) I just can't imagine the circumstances under which I'd think, "You know what the #1 thing I need to do today is? Decorate my magazine boxes. They hold the magazines just fine, but it's high time for them to stop being plain white and start being cute." Same with the mailbox, planters, old metal lawn chairs, dog sweaters(!!!), and pretty much everything else. I'm glad these people have found a hobby that makes them feel happy and creative, but I find the whole thing a bit baffling, to be honest. Obviously I'm not the target market here. less
