Hey guys ... the "seal" coat I mention in the video is the same mod podge. After your first coat of mod podge is dry, add another coat of the mod podge over your glitter this time. Be gentle. This prevents any glitter fall outs. It helps to seal it in. Let that dry completely before using it. It will dry clear.
@@jlynn8843 Not quite, mod podge is made with varnish, so unless you add some form of varnish or other hardener to this, you end up with something that has nothing like the durability of mod podge
@@Frithgar so glad I saw this. Don't even have to watch the video haha I was just curious to try mod podge as a wood finish but I'll just stick with cheap water based poly for home stuff
I been doing this for a few years and it works great ..I had Google it and it was the same as a modge podge ..That's why I did this many many years ago it's a money saver ...And yes it def needs over a spray of clear seal spray ..But it does work ..I say this for the people complaining about it ...I still got my projects around it's a great alternative but do seal coat it as a extra form of securing it more ...And Ido gotta say this i didn't think of mixing it in a mason jar ..So that I will do next time ...Plus Dollar tree does carry for a $1 modge podge too ...I was thinking of making a jar with it in it too
Oh my gosh! Thank you so much! I've been dying to find something that'll substitute mod podge since there's no mod podge in my place. 😊 you're the best!
Except that mod podge is made with varnish, this is just watered down glue. So unless you're adding varnish or some other hardener then you're not making anything other than watered down pva glue which doesn't have anywhere near the same durability.
I confirm, I tested this and wasn’t happy with the result. I usually add black acrylic paint in my mod podge and a bit of water. Didn’t have those results with this formula
If your primary surface area is copy paper or light weight cardstock, don’t add water! Water makes paper swell leaving it warped. Add a third part floetrol to the Elmer’s Glue. It’s available in box stores in the wall paint department. I use Flood because it’s available in a quart bottle. It goes on thin so you’ll want to use a bigger brush because it dries in less than a minute! Repeat until the surface is sealed. Usually 2-3 applications!
Just to be clear the title of video is now to make your own modge podge. Adding an acrylic top coat of your choice is an option. To any project. It’s like doing your nails some do 20 steps I only do top coat. Period. You also just cant say you need a top coat. Top coat can be oil based, acrylic, varnish, poly, urethane. All age differently and are completely different chemicals. I water down wood glue for gluing cardboard projects. Because cardboard is from trees and trees are wood. Do you want to know how many men say that I can’t do this? Works great for recutting my moving boxes into bookcase sized storage boxes then covering. Also used for stage craft for elementary schools where the men said nope cannot do that. Basically I’m saying. Stop being negative all over the www.
I just did 2 (ugly) lamp shades like that.... OMG... it turned out Beautiful.. I only use plain glue... I think adding the water would have been better... I also made my business sign 8 foot x 4 foot... (yes you read that right!!) and put pounds of Glitter on each letter ... Remember if you do that to paint the same color underneath the glitter first, then add plain thick elmer's glue...and gobs of glitter... leave 24 hours before shaking excess glitter off the sign... Thank you for sharing this great video...
@@surezhang3805 What is that word? Colloquials? I tried to look it up and good said there was "No Results Found" Are you asking me why I use so many Ellipsis? Truthfully, because sometimes on certain (small) phones, all the words seem to run together... using the 3 dots or the correct word ELLIPSIS ... IT SPACES WORDS OUT... so you can read them better. Thanks for asking.
I checked the comments saying it works, and I painted something using acrylic paint and it always scratches off (because I used clear nail polish to coat it) and I have glue so this will work...thank you for this idea
Excellent video girl. Your was about the tenth one that I clicked on. All the others were full of useless rhetoric. Yours was succinct, clear, and easy2follow. You will make a good business manager/CEO some day.
This is not the same and will not work for sealing purposes! Did you try actually decoupaging something to confirm your statements of this functioning the same as Mod Podge? Your recipe is missing the main useful ingredient: acrylic varnish. This is simply diluted glue and yout project will turn yellow with time.
Brandi is right. Acrylic is water soluble synthetic medium ( Polymer) fast drying but after drying it becomes permanent, water insoluble and strong. You can buy Acrylic gel , Acrylic varnish... at art supply stores.
Rena Miller my guess is that it’s this varnish or coating that seals and protects objects. Kind of like liquid plastic wrap but not really. I’m not sure but there’s always google
But the focus of the video is the title, how to make modge podge. Adding an acrylic top coat is an additional step and a choice. Yes many do that but its a choice like waxing a chalk painted furniture piece. Or puttting an acrylic top coat or just leaving it to become more rustic. All choices.
Anna Morris There are different Mod Podge's for different craft's there is regular , dishwasher safe and many more . And you are right this would start to break down in even high humidity . Unless it had a water proof top coat .
I know this is an older video, but one idea ... Elmer's Glue All in place of School Glue (Glue All is not washable and has a thicker shinier consistency)
Glad you shared this, but when you said ''Let's try it out',the demo proved nothing.You could have achieved the same results by adding glitter to regular glue.??? What should be shown is whether this gives a clear finish like Mod Podge,and is there a way to make it glossy?
Thanks for the help cuz i'm having a hard time looking Mod Podge here in our place. Can we use this method or version of Mod Podge and mix with food coloring to have Pale Tint or Color Resin Film just like same effect in Plastic Bottle
she for got to add polycrylic to make it shine and hole.because if you use it like whate she did your things will fall apart it wont hole together.and it wont shine.maybe she forgot to add polycrylic.
Can I use this method when I putting a photo on a pice of wood I can put the picture down with it and seal it with it will it work the same way if I was to buy it at the store
Angeles Quilloy directly after using the brush, massage the brush under warm water like you’re washing your hair. do this until the brush isn’t sticky and just feels wet. then let it dry with the bristles facing up.
i painted a phone case is cow print and i was so happy, it was awesome but i wanted to cover it with something so i made mod podge i put it on the phone case and it completely ruined my phone case. im so disapointed.
Yes, modge podge is basically glue. I’m old and old school. Back in the say we only had a hardware store which I STILL only use. No such thing as a Micheals. You dont need it. Like chalk paint.

So, I made this mixture a while ago to do a project, and it worked pretty well, but today when I tried to open the jar to use it again something happened. The lid of the jar that I used is now glued to the container, and I believe that it is because of the shaking. So now I can not use the jar or the mod podge. Also, I noticed that the glue separated from the water and there is just a solid, white glob at the bottom of the container. Even though the idea was good, it had some inconveniences.
I believe you have to keep shaking it up when using it or stirring it ...also ...depending on the container you have it stored in...if its plastic & you cannot get the lid off ...just cut the top off & put into another container. Hopefully this will help.
I need to make a glitter phone case at home just like u did in ur video, will this substitute for mod podge help me in stopping the glitters from falling off??? And also will the glitters shine after applying seal coat??

Jennylove217 ...i did this 2 times but the gliter will fall...evertine when i touch my phone.... Wt will i do???
Alamgir Khan I don’t think so... since the modge podge is made with water it means it’s water soluble... I believe getting it wet will break it down.
Does it work for transfering pic to wood ?
@@nehabhardwaj4730 use polyurethane top coat for really durable finish or polycrylic which will seal but not as durable

In other words.... Two parts glue (PVA glue) to one part water.
equal amounts but I'd do 1 cup glue to 1/3 cup water
Hello! As I have no common sense.... I use 2 bottles of Elmer's Glue and then fill up one empty Elmer's Glue bottle with water? Thamk you in advance!
In other words it's a 2:1 ratio .Right ?
@@susyshepard320 yes.
@@lynlalalala it was a rhetorical question as she seemed to have difficulty spitting that out. In other words a more precise way to explain it.🦋

Just found this video and I thought it was great. You showed a very simple recipe that will save a lot of money. Thanks!
Except that mod podge is made with varnish, this is just watered down glue. So unless you're adding varnish or some other hardener then you're not making anything other than watered down pva glue which doesn't have anywhere near the same durability.
So would u recommend just using the glue instead of watering it down?
But does it yellow?
Yeah I think if she added a varnish or hardener to it it would have made more sense to me.
I confirm, I tested this and wasn’t happy with the result. I usually add black acrylic paint in my mod podge and a bit of water. Didn’t have those results with this formula
It's called home made mod podge
In case you want to make a clear varnish, use clear glue. It worked for me.
If your primary surface area is copy paper or light weight cardstock, don’t add water! Water makes paper swell leaving it warped. Add a third part floetrol to the Elmer’s Glue.

It goes on thin so you’ll want to use a bigger brush because it dries in less than a minute! Repeat until the surface is sealed. Usually 2-3 applications!

cool i always wondered what mod podge was. i use this mixture all the time. sweet XD thanks for clearing up what ive been wondering for a while now.
I believe real modpodge has silicone in it
I thought Mod-Page was somewhat water proof/resistant? I don't think white school glue + water would be very water resistant?

Great recipe for working with kids; for museum quality work it will yellow, and you might want to add additional sealant:)
have you tried using this in transferring photos to wood?
Same question. 😂😂

can you use this "mod podge"like they do when they transfer a picture on to wood with mod podge would this work like that
No
I don't think so either
Is this diy mod podge ok for using on printed photos for a magnet diy
Sia P hi! To tell you the truth idk I never tried it but I don't see why not since it dries clear when I use it for other craft ..
Can you use this DIY Mod Podge to transfer photos to wood etc the same as the "real" stuff ? thanks
Hi....you mean two parts of glue ang one part of water?thanks for the answer
You have saved me so much money
Will i have to use only elmer branded glue to make modge podge or can it be any brand?
I think it has to be Elmer's. I tried with crazy art and it didnt work
Can it be used over acrylic paints ??
Awesome vid. What song did you use? I love it ❤️
That’s not mod podge, that’s just watered down pva. Mod Podge has flow aids and varnish in it
she for got to add polycrylic to make it shine and hole.because if you use it like whate she did your things will fall apart it wont hole together.and it wont shine.maybe she forgot to add polycrylic.
You forgot how to spell.
Can i use it in photo transfer craft??
Dope! Glad I watched
So can this white elmers school glue use tk hold crush glasses and glitter since its the same as mod podge
Sorry... I have one more question... Would this mod podge be good for creating photo coasters?
Thanks for sharing, great idea
What happens if it gets exposed to water? Is it gonna be ruined? Thanks
Can you use the clear Elmer's glue? Or mix half white half clear?
Can you use this to photo transfer? I want to transfer a printed photo to an acetate sheet.
Same thing I want to know
@Jackaza 142 can i please know how u did it?
Can we use it to decoupage?
Can this use on fabric as well
I’ll try this out
How much water? Just what you pour in the empty bottle/bottles?
can I use it for decoupage ??
Can we use white glue instead of
school glue?
Is this water proof? Bcoz im gonna use for my phone
can we use this to seal our painting
Can I use this method when I putting a photo on a pice of wood I can put the picture down with it and seal it with it will it work the same way if I was to buy it at the store
Will it work with clear glue?
Does this dry clear?
Yes, but it will come off. Why do you think Mod Podge is more expensive? It's not the same!
La Fridamanía ok thanks!
OMG FOR REAL? That's all there is to mod podge? D: I could have been saving money by buying just regular glue and stretching it with water!
Nice! But how do zi soften and clean my brush if I reuse it bec it turns stiff after each use. Please advise. Many thanks!

Does it work for photo to wood transfers though?
Can we do decaupage too with this home made mod podge
Yes, modge podge is basically glue. I’m old and old school. Back in the say we only had a hardware store which I STILL only use. No such thing as a Micheals. You dont need it. Like chalk paint. My new hobby. First look up not what chalk paint is but what Chalk is. It’s basically gypsum. But there are several different kinds of gypsum chalk in nature. Plater of Paris comes from a mine outside of Paris France and has one ingredient no other chalk base has. Which is why they used it for casts. Knowledge is power!
