and#8220;Mod Podge hasn't changed much in 45 years, but crafting tastes have. Anderson (modpodgerocksblog.com) has assembled a variety of home decor, accessory, and holiday projects that bring this iconic sealer from the macramand#233;-planter era to the modern age. Standouts include a necklace made with candy wrappers and a stylish clock using washi tape and scrapbook paper.
