D is for Decoupage Diary


Materials Needed:
metallic gold paint
paint brushes
composition notebook
magazines filled with colorful inspirational pictures
Mod
Podge
 
Directions:
Be sure to do this task either outside or in a
well-ventilated area so you and the children
do not become overwhelmed with paint fumes.
Carefully paint the notebook cover with gold paint and allow it to dry thoroughly. You may need to apply multiple coats. It can be fun to blot, make waves, or spin circles with the paint to create a unique texturized look.

Cut out pictures, words or sentences from magazines that inspire you or make you happy.
After the notebook has completely dried, paint Mod Podge onto the back of each cut out magazine image or word, then place it on the notebook. Paint Mod Podge completely over the magazine item. Mod Podge is white when wet but it will dry clear.
