Habitat Meet Mod Podge

Spring is almost here.  Time for some cleaning, organizing and the addition of new decor around the house.  After winter's long grip, the infusion of color to your interior spaces is a must.  And naturally, Mod Podge and fabric both figure into this scenario. 

I apologize for the lighting in these photos.  Even with matte Mod Podge it is difficult to get a good shot of these.  And lack of sun hasn't helped either.  But I think these are good enough for you to get the idea and to motivate you to grab some fabric, a couple canvas frames and a jar of Mod Podge.


I used Jay McCarroll's new collection, Habitat.  These two prints are particularly well suited for this project.  These frames measure 8" x 10" but larger sizes would look even more dramatic.  They can be hung without frames or you could use mismatched frames for an eclectic look.

I cut the pieces large enough to wrap around the frame to the backside and applied them with matte Mod Podge.  Several coats applied to the top and sides was all that was needed.  If you want to bring out the golden tones, apply Shimmer Mod Podge in Gold.

Check out the entire collection at Free Spirit.  With so many possibilities there's no excuse not to try this project.  What are you waiting for?  Get your Mod Podge and get going!

    If the winds are blowing in the right direction tomorrow, and the stars are properly aligned, I am going to give this a try. It is time for Lady Spring to start showing up around here. Thanks for the great idea! Carolina
