I really wouldn't do it...you could test an inconspicious area to see what it looks like....Good luck!

Faux leather is usually vinyl so it should be fine but testing first is always a good idea.

you might also try a very secure glue like fabric tac or other tacky glue.

I was thinking the same thing Nan Said... Try tacky glue.. I dont think Mod Podge would stick with Leather.. Wouldn't hurt to try though..

I gave it a try on the back of one of my albums first and it actually worked really good. So, I altered the front of the portfolio. It seemed to take much longer for the mod podge to dry but it did adhere perfectly and had a great finish. Unfortunately the lens on my digi was broken and I had to give it as a gift yesterday. I got pics with my 35mm so whenever I decide to get the film developed (seems like such a chore now) I will post some pics.

Thanks for the support and advice ladies!!!

This is the album I used modge podge on to glue down and seal the letters I cut out with my cricut on, the other items are rubon. This was a leather 8X8 album I bought at walmart. no problems with it not sticking, did take a little longer to dry but worked perfectly.
