How to Mod Podge a Puzzle

1. Prepare Your Puzzle: Ensure your puzzle is completed and placed on a flat surface.
2. Apply Mod Podge: Using a foam brush, apply a thin, even layer of Mod Podge over the entire puzzle. Make sure to cover the edges and corners.
3. Let It Dry: Allow the first layer to dry completely, which usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
4. Apply Additional Layers: For added protection, apply one or two more layers, allowing each layer to dry thoroughly.
5. Seal the Back: Once the front is fully dry, carefully flip the puzzle and apply Mod Podge to the back for extra durability.

1. Gather Supplies:
   • Completed puzzle

2. Apply Mod Podge:
   • Start from the center of the puzzle and work your way out to the edges.
   • Use a gentle, sweeping motion to avoid bubbles and ensure an even coat.
3. Drying Time:
   • Allow each layer of Mod Podge to dry completely before applying the next.
   • Drying times can vary, but generally, 15-20 minutes is sufficient.
4. Final Touches:
