 If the mod podge gets thick like your second example.. how do you get it off, if I make that mistake??

Put a touch more MP on your brush and work it out.  Brush over it until that spot flattens out.  You have to work quickly...the MP will start to dry and that becomes a mess.

 you have great ideas      i have 3 dogs and 3 cats  and 2 parrots all of different things to keep treats in so a set of tins for xmas is on my brain tytytytyty

 These are so cute Miranda!  I may have to make some for the cats.  Darn Elsie for only doing dog pp!

**If you notice that an edge is bubbled or coming up, use a small paint brush and sneak a little MP under the lift.  Then use CLEAN fingers to rub that down a little.** 
Once this is mostly dry and you have no bubbles apply a thin, even coat of MP over the top of your papers being sure to get seams, corners, and edges.

 I SOOO want to make this. I have bags of dog bones for my doggie bentley.. would be nice to put them in a cute tin.

[Mom2Bri]

 Is this for dogs only or can cats get in too?  lol

 There may be small bubbles or pockets of air after this.  Don’t panic.  Once the MP s fully dry, it shrinks the paper just enough to take care of these. 

Allow your project to dry.

 Cut your tin label.  Apply stickers (you can also wait until after to add your stickers.  It's personal preference. 

Cut your tin label.  Apply stickers. 




Apply a thin, even layer of MP where you plan to place this piece.  Put your label over the new MP and rub it down, paying close attention to seams and edges.  Once nearly dry, MP over the top.  I did MP over these stickers.  If you want to wait to place your stickers, that will work

Then, apply the bling/final embellishments.  Rhinestones and glitter lose their glitz if you MP over them, so put them on when all of the MP is done and dry.

 I´m late as usual But me and my two cat´s are watching you And it looks awesome so fare

 We've completed our tin!  Questions??

We'll move on to the leash holder next. 

[writerlady]

 That is just SO cute!!!

[MLee]

 It's so shiny. My MP isn't that shiny. Now I'm going to have to look for more shiny MP!!

[LoveMyBella]

 The leash hanger….Sand your piece as needed and make sure it’s free from dirt/dust.  Trace and cut out what papers you need for your leash holder.  (Don’t ink them yet!)

 It's so shiny. My MP isn't that shiny. Now I'm going to have to look for more shiny MP!!

Noooo!  That's just still wet.  I always use the matte.  Though, I bet that's how the glossy looks when it's dry.

 For the hole in the holder, I put my papers over it and ran my scissors over the indentation to make an impression.  I then used an exacto knife to cut that piece out.

 Paint your item and allow it to dry.

[LoveMyBella]

 I removed the “knob” and went from there.  Apply MP as discussed earlier.  Be sure to apply a thin, even coat without any harsh starts and stops paying close attention to edges.  


Apply your papers.  For mine, I wanted two different papers, so I applied a little MP where I plan for the papers to overlap, and then placed the second piece.   

How the MP would overlap...


 Again, warm hands and rub the papers down paying close attention to the edges and the seam where the two papers meet.  Allow this to dry completely.

 Great tip about not putting MP over the rhinestones! Thanks for sharing, because I probably would have done it.
