20 Mod Podge Project Ideas

You can organize, decorate, and even make celebration decor frugally by using Mod Podge to DIY some around-the-house decor projects. Fair warning, though, it is addictive. Decoupage has come a long way since those ’70s plates!

All of these projects were created using Mod Podge along with some other medium, like napkins or paper. I also use Mod Podge as a sealer when painted on as a top coat.

You may also enjoy seeing my Craft Room Makeover Reveal. I share a few of my craft storage tips.

1. DIY Blue & White Moss Ball Topiary

These topiaries are not only a Mod Podge project, but they are also  Dollar Store decor! Perfect DIY decor for a mantlescape or table setting.

2. How To Create An Organized Junk Drawer for Free

Creating these drawer dividers was really fun! I made them a custom fit for my kitchen junk drawer. I’m happy to report that, years later, this drawer remains well-organized! I spent nearly nothing to do it.

Another kitchen organization project was our Pantry Makeover. It was a project my husband took on during the COVID-19 shutdown of 2020. I am still very happy with my well-organized pantry.

3. Repurpose Mayonnaise Jars Into Pretty Craft Storage

Another organization Mod Podge project I enjoyed was making these craft storage jars for my craft room! I repurposed empty mayonnaise jars with some pretty napkins, paper, and other things.

4. How To Make An Authentic Looking Snowman Craft

This Mod Podge snowman was inspired by my DIY Chilly the Snowman ornament. He really looks cold, doesn’t he! You will love the Mod Podge trick for making him look icy.

5. Fall Napkin Dollar Store Pumpkin Makeover

The napkins I used for this Dollar Store Pumpkin makeover were leftovers from my Frugal Fall Decor project several years ago. So, my only expense for this project was the pumpkin from Dollar Tree. They carry those orange styrofoam pumpkins every year in the Fall.

6. Decoupage Pumpkin Fall Vignette

This napkin decoupage project is proof of why you should shop the Tuesday Morning store for pretty napkins to use in your Mod Podge projects!

7. DIY Two-Tier Spinning Craft Room Storage Tray

My spinning tray is a much-used storage component of my craft room. Those repurposed mayonnaise jars (see above) fit perfectly on the bottom tray! You will never believe what I used for that bottom tray!

8. Americana Mason Jar Lid Coasters

Another decoupage napkin project! DIY Mason Jar ring and lid coasters. This one is simple and easy. DIY Patriotic coasters add some red, white, and blue to summer decor.

9. Jewelry Box Makeover

You would have to see it to believe the transformation of this thrift store jewelry box. I enjoyed the process of the makeover. The drawers are lined with a pretty black and white toile design paper that I found at Hobby Lobby. I use it for storing small sewing supplies.

10. Decorative Watering Can Centerpiece

All you need for this easy outdoor decor project is a galvanized watering can, some pretty paper, and Mod Podge.

11. Valentine’s Candy Jars & Candle Vases

These Valentine’s candy jars are another Dollar Store Decor craft project! I used them to create a fun Hot Cocoa Bar. Bringing seasonal charm into your home does not have to be expensive.

12. DIY Chilly The Snowman Ornament

Chilly is one of my favorite projects ever using Mod Podge!

13. Frugal Fall Decor

Do not toss those empty jars! You can be so creative using them in Mod Podge projects for seasonal decor! After decorating this empty jar, I placed a battery votive candle inside.

14. DIY Fabric Covered Flower Containers To Match Porch Pillows

I used fabric remnants to cover these cans to match my porch pillows that I made. A few small Begonias were added for pretty summer porch decor.

15. Patriotic Repurposed Can Bird House

An empty coffee can and a fat quarter of fabric with Mod Podge. This birdhouse is still in my yard years later, and the birds still love making their nests in it. I did put bird food in it at first, but the birds wanted to use it for nesting, so it is a birdhouse.

16. Frosted Mason Jar Patriotic Luminaries

These Mason Jar candle holders are always really pretty lit up at night! They have been used for summer decor all over the house and on the porch. Mod Podge holds the mini flags on. I also created a frosted look on the back side to force the light to come through the flags.

17. Vintage Paper Plate Holder Becomes Scarf Holder

I insist you see the BEFORE picture of my scarf holder! It is a perfect fit in my closet to keep my winter scarves organized.

18. DIY Orbs Using A Plastic Baseball

Making my own Orbs has been on my to-do list for a while. So glad I was able to use Mod Podge and pretty napkins to make this project super easy.

19. DIY Plaid Cone Christmas Tree

Do you love plaid Christmas decor? See how to make one of the Plaid Cone Christmas trees for a pretty vignette. You can crank out a bunch of these in minutes!

20. DIY Devise Charging Station

Another Thrift Upcycle project. This one is in our guest room and is always helpful for when our daughter and son-in-law visit for a few days.

And there you have it! 20 Mod Podge Project ideas you can use around the house! I am ready to get back into my craft room and make more! Keep an eye out for what comes next!
