Mod Podge

So I was feeling extra creative this week and decided I wanted to try Mod Podging. I have never done it before and wanted to try it out. I seem to get very ambitious with a project, I am not a perfectionist and I don't like being told how to do things. Like sewing, I hate more than anything trying to follow a pattern. They are so complicated and I just don't have the patience. This is also the reason why every craft I do is uniquely mine. I made a quilt once in young women, the squares weren't lined up and it looked like crap. I never even finished it because the picture I had in my head of what it should have looked like required too much patience on my part. (Luckily it was finished by one of my great young women leaders years later for a gift when I got married.) So in this whole Mod Podging project I was pretty sure that instead of asking someone for help and step by step instructions I would just try it out. I think it turned out great, although they're are bubbles under the paper that I didn't smooth out and the paper isn't cut exactly symmetrical. I am very proud of the end product!
