My interview with Amy of Mod Podge Rocks


If you haven't already, be sure to check out the Mod-Podge Rocks blog. If you love Mod Podge( and who doesn't?) you'll flip over this blog-it is a one stop information shop for all things decoupage. I recently got to interview, Amy, the crafty lady behind the blog.

What inspired you to start your blog?

It's no secret that I love Mod Podge. When I first started decoupaging on a regular basis, I went onto the internet to find project ideas, tips and tricks. I saw that a lot of people loved Mod Podge, but I spent hours trying to find information and put it all together. My original blog goals were to provide a forum for sharing projects and Mod Podge secrets, as well as a place where I could share what I Mod Podge with the world. It has turned out to be a great community of Mod Podge lovers sharing their projects as well as what they know about the most fabulous craft of decoupage.


What types of things do you make? What do you enjoy doing the most?

I make a little bit of everything, but my favorites are storage as well as home decor items. I am a child at heart, so all of my projects have a "youthful" twist. Plus, you can never have enough storage for children!

What is the most interesting or unusual project you've seen using MP?

The most interesting is definitely a bike helmet. I NEVER would have thought of that myself.

I know you love Halloween... What are your plans for the upcoming holidays?

Halloween is my favorite holiday. It's the craftiest time of year! I will be doing a wide range of projects - I'm starting with decorating items, but I will definitely do something kid-friendly. I completely encourage children to get involved in holiday crafting. Don't be suprised if I create an entire costume from Mod Podge and household items
