Sparkle and effects: Mod Podge decoupage glue with the look built in

Mod Podge decoupage glue and sealer with the look already mixed in — glitter, crackle, antique and super matte.

The formulas that change how a piece looks rather than just protecting it. Glitter is carried in suspension so it lands evenly instead of pooling in one corner; the iridescent and pearl finishes shift colour as the light moves.

Antique, crackle and vintage effects do the opposite job — they put age on a surface deliberately. Glow-in-the-dark takes a charge from a lamp and gives it back once the room is dark.

Mod Podge decoupage glue with sparkle, crackle and age built in

These are the same water based decoupage glue with something added to the formula. Glitter is held in suspension so it lands evenly across the surface instead of pooling in one corner, which is the difference between a sparkle finish and a mess. Iridescent and pearl do the same thing with a softer shimmer.

The effects formulas change the look rather than the handling. Antique Matte lays a warm weathered tint over the piece. The crackle medium splits as it dries so a new surface reads as old. Glow in the dark takes a charge from a lamp and gives the light back once the room goes dark.

All of them still glue, seal and finish, so you can use one as your only medium on a project. We usually do the opposite: plain matte or gloss to stick the paper down, then a special effects coat over the top where it will actually be seen.

Questions we get about this shelf

Does the glitter settle in the jar?

Give it a stir before you start, the same as any suspension. Once it is on the brush it stays where you put it.

Can I put glitter over an ordinary coat?

That is how we use it. Glue the design down with matte or gloss, let it dry, then one sparkle coat on top. You use less and the design underneath stays readable.

How do I charge the glow formula?

Any bright lamp or ten minutes of daylight. The brighter the charge, the longer it holds.
