Stuck on You

Dear Home Ec 101:

I recently made fabulous folders with pretty paper and also a great magnetic memo board with fabric on a silver tray all thanks to decoupage. But I’m a bit of a mess and the decopage is all over my favorite yoga pants and a cute t-shirt. How can I get it out?

 Signed,

Luckily for you decoupage glues, like Mod Podge are fairly easy to remove. Scrape off as much as you can, then work plain petroleum jelly into the stain.  Remove the petroleum jelly with dishwashing liquid. I prefer Dawn (don’t get fancy, the original unscented formula is the best for situations like this). Use the hottest water tolerated by the fabric to rinse it clean.

Do not dry the articles of clothing until all traces of the stain have been removed.

Good luck!
