This is kind of a Part Two to my "DIY: Customize Your Table" blog post.

Customizing is pretty much turning something into something new or modify it to make it your own. 

The process on how I customize my things is fairly easy so I wanted to show you in case one day you get bored and decide you want to customize something.

First, you will need to look for pictures you like. You can google them, cut them out magazines or use your own personal pictures. 

(In this case, I decided to find them in WeHeartIt and print them out.)

Once have your pictures, cut them out in any shape and form you would like.

After that you can rearrange them any way you think fits on the object you are customizing and once you are done, whip out a paint brush and your mod podge!

First apply a thin layer of mod podge on the object, then begin laying the pictures down. 

It's okay for the background to look all gluey and messy, in case you didn't know mod podge dries clear.

After let the pictures sit on the mod podge for about five minutes so they can get nice and sticky. Then carefully apply a coat of mod podge over all the pictures and let it dry.

and BAM! My journal is no longer black and boring, now it has some personality.

Again this process can be used on anything...

You can customize any decoration with this simple process. Hope you learned something and even if you didn't, I hope you enjoyed the pictures!
