How-to Tuesday: Concert Ticket Wall Art!

It is absolutely no secret that one of my favorite things to craft with is Mod Podge. It's so simple and quick to make pretty much anything awesome out of this awesome brush glue. As a kid, I started saving my movie tickets. That led to saving my concert tickets. Fast forward to a little earlier this year: I was sick of taping my concert tickets to every refrigerator I've ever had, so I wanted to do something else with them. I remembered that I had a canvas and some Mod Podge and voila!

You will need:

• A pile of old tickets (it doesn't need to be concert tickets)
• Mod Podge, either Matte or Gloss original, and the purple-labeled Hard Coat
• An old brush or sponge applicator
• Canvas to fit as many tickets as you have

It's all pretty simple! Here's your steps!

1. Grab your tickets, canvas, brush (or sponge) and Mod Podge. 
2. Organize your tickets however you deem fit on your canvas (I did one large rectangle, then a smaller one, and a smaller one yet, etc.)
3. Use your original Mod Podge (with either the yellow or orange label) and lay down some glue on both the canvas and the ticket. I would do one rectangle at a time. 
4. Once your entire canvas is covered, I'd do a layer of the Hard Coat just to make sure none of the edges come unglued.
5. Hang up and enjoy!

One tip I will give you on this is not to use a hair dryer to try and get the glue to dry faster. I did it (as you can tell from the random black splotch), and it changed the color of the heat-sensitive paper. 

And there you have it! Another fun way to use Mod Podge. Let me know what you did with yours in the comments, check back next week for another How-To Tuesday, and don't forget to follow if you're enjoying what you're reading!
