About Mod Podge
Inspiring creativity and bringing DIY dreams to life for over 60 years
The Mod Podge Story
In 1956, a creative visionary set out to solve a common problem faced by crafters everywhere. Artists and DIY enthusiasts needed multiple products to complete their decoupage projects – a glue to adhere materials, a sealer to protect them, and a finish to make them shine. It was complicated, expensive, and time-consuming.
That’s when Mod Podge was born. Our founder invented the world’s first all-in-one decoupage medium, a revolutionary formula that could glue, seal, and finish in one simple application. The name Mod Podge – short for “modern decoupage” – perfectly captured this innovative spirit.
From One Bottle to a Crafting Empire
What started as a single bottle of Mod Podge has grown into a complete family of over 65 specialized formulas. From Mod Podge Matte and Mod Podge Gloss to specialty options like Mod Podge Outdoor, Mod Podge Fabric, and Mod Podge Dimensional Magic, we’ve created solutions for every creative need.
But no matter how much we’ve grown, our core philosophy remains unchanged: Mod Podge should make crafting easier, more accessible, and more enjoyable for everyone. Whether you’re a professional artist, a classroom teacher, or a parent looking for weekend projects with your kids, Mod Podge is here to help your creativity shine.
