Thanks to lovely Bianca @luett.huus we came across Mod Podge . We are really excited about this versatile glue and would like to introduce it to you.
To help you find your way through the Mod Podge jungle, we have created a small overview with ideas and inspiration so that you can get started on your favorite projects right away.
What is Mod Podge?
Glue, seal, protect. That's the Mod Podge 3-in-1 formula.
The glue is water-based and dries transparent. It also applies a sealing layer of varnish that protects your project from external influences and is even water-repellent.
Often, the difference between the various products only becomes apparent in the protective finish. It can be matte, shiny, give a silky appearance or make your project durable against scratches and damage, like with the lovely Bianca.
The perfect notebook
Using designer paper , a bone folder , scissors , a wooden roller and Mod Podge Hard Coat, Bianca quickly conjures up a small, water-repellent notebook that is perfect for your next trip.
So you no longer have to worry about your coffee or tea cup on the craft table. The notebook can simply stay where it is 😉
Tip : Mod Podge is also super easy to remove from hands or tools with warm water and soap, which also makes it a great companion for crafting with children.

Ideas, tips and tricks for use
The right scissors
Anyone who enjoys crafting or works with book cloth will certainly be familiar with the problem - as soon as glue is involved, it is often not just what is supposed to stick that sticks, but also the paper on the scissors.
Do you know? Then definitely try the new non-stick scissors from Fiskars. You'll have fun crafting with them!
The ideal tool
To ensure that everything goes smoothly when working with glue, not only the right scissors but also the right tools are important. For this reason, we recommend using a nylon brush
After cleaning, the synthetic fibers are ready for your next idea because the "brush hairs" do not stick together.
Important
Apply each layer carefully, thinly and evenly and allow it to dry.
Step by step
Bianca shows you the individual steps in her reel. Here is the link to her channel @luett.huus .
Once you know what you want to do and what surface you are working on, you can determine the right Mod Podge formula for the project.
