Tea Cabinet
Moved from old blog. Original published June 22, 2007 - Below is my first successful decoupage project. I love it. It houses my tea and spices with personality. I don't care what my tv stands look like, but by golly, my cinnamon needs a fashionable home. For more information on the fun of decoupage check out Mod Podge Rocks.
Chris picked out this cabinet during our yard sale outing last week. It's nice solid wood, but I don't do "country" at all.
A paint job and some decoupage, and now I have something going.

Inside, I love red
I used acrylic paint, magazine images and my new favorite product Mod-Podge. I love it now.
Mod-Podge is a combo glue, varnish, sealer, overall crafty, sticky goo. It worked wonders. No matter how thick I'd slathered the stuff on, it dries clear pretty quickly. It comes in a couple different formulas, including one with sparkles. I'm on the lookout now for a project that demands glitter.
Thanks for the mention, you!

You missed the operative word - successful. The problem with the first was no Mod Podge. I picked this spray stuff up. It just didn't cover. The paper came off almost right away.
Thank goodness for the Podge.
