Step 3Getting Sticky
After you've cut your fabric, use Mod Podge on the shelf surface and the back of fabric and stick down. allow 15 mins to dry, and be sure to smooth out any air bubbles that appear with a metal ruler or similar. When dry, apply a few coats of Mod Podge to seal, allowing 15-20 mins between each coat, and lightly sanding in between. You should only need around 2-3 coats for sealing, however if you want a textured finish, you can add as many coats as you desire. Repeat until each desired surface is covered.
Tips/Extra bits:
-Be sure to keep your brush wet when not using it, as the glue dries fast and can harden and ruin your brush. If you like, you can purchase a painter's brush from the hardware section of your local discount store for around $1-$2.
-Mod Podge is water soluble, so it will wash out of your clothes and it can even be used for kid's crafts as a regular glue. Though if you're still worried, be sure to wear older clothes that you don't mind if they're ruined.
-Work in a well-ventilated area. Your respiratory system will thank you. Also, it might be a good idea to leave overnight before using; especially in a small room (like a bedroom). I speak from experience.
