Linda….how did you get the glass to stay in the frame without adding the back of the frame back on? Are the little clips strong enough to hold the glass in place without the added thickness of the backing?
Oh my goodness, thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. I made a couple of Christmas trees like this with resin, but I like to use it outside because of the fumes, so I was making them in the freezing cold lol. Going to definitely try with the modpodge! Thanks!
Rebecca, I too live in a cold region. I would like to know a little about your process. 1. After you poured the resin, where I’d you leave it to cure? 2. Do you know the temperature of the area you let your project cure? In cold weather I can pour my resin in my garage (65 degrees average) but I am concerned about bringing the item inside to cure. Anyway, any info woukd be appreciated. Thank you!
I love this! I'd love to see you do more of this type of thing made with Mod Podge for those of us who can't take the fumes of resin. I really am so glad I found your channel!!
Thank you! I know I do . So a lot of the art that I do with resin can easily be done with Mod Podge especially if it is done on canvas. The tinier the glass is the better the Mod Podge will hold it together.
Thanks I have many tree videos and a more recent mod podge one on canvas that turned out real nice.th-cam.com/video/o5R4mMuyg0k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Ea5WJnwpHdhMZ0ea
I guess I didn't notice that you hadn't done the modge podge on the glass, cuz that's all I've been doing. I think it turns out okay I did put some glass on one of mine like you did and it made it look a little bit more like snow or like winter. yours looks pretty.
Oh thats so funny, So then does the glass around the crushed glass dry clear ? Or did you use sparkles like I did? I would love to see what you made. lberman6079@gmail.com
This was very important for me. I only have the garage to work and the temperature in ithere during this time of year is not conducive for using resin. I thought I wouldn’t be able to make anything until next year. I can now use the Mod Podge then bring it inside to dry. I am so grateful you did this. What do you think of using Elmer’s Clear glue instead of the Mod Podge??
Regular Elmer glue will dry foggy. Clear Elmer glue dries clear but the glass becomes difficult to shape like with full strength Mod Podge it clumps together, and is hard to shape. I have used the clear Elmer's glue on the bottom to keep things from moving around then poured Mod Podge over. I am currently doing alot with those rhinestone crystals to hold the shape then I have put the clear Elmers glue over the glass to keep it from moving then putting mod Podge over But I believe the clear Elmers glue would hold it alone. Now Im not sure how evenly you could spread it on the rest of the canvas. Ill send you a pic of something I just made
Maybe I will release the video of it today so everyone can see. I bet alot of people cant use the resin in their house. Now I use Art resin , thats the brand name and there are not any dangerous fumes.
@@crazyglasslady Hmmm. I’m headed to town in the next few. Maybe I’ll stop by Wal-Mart. I see that they sell it. It’s closer than Jo-Ann’s. I can put everything together in my garage then bring it inside. Thank you!!!
@@crazyglasslady I have seen you use the clear for things many times. What I’m getting from your message is that the glue begins drying quickly and would be very difficult to work with ( ie. beads, correcting objects, etc) after pouring it on. Ok….bad idea! 🙉
@@RobertVeasquez Well the full strength glue or mod Podge just makes everything clump up but look at the new little gingerbread man I made and at the end I show the difference between the 1/2 strenght and full strength
Well Elmers glue does not dry clear. It would hold everything together but would not be the same as gloss Mod Podge. Clear Elmer's glue dries clear but it may peal up easily.
No. Mod Podge is a water-based polymer (plastic) glue which is waterproof once dry. Elmer's glue is washes off with water after it's dry and peels off glass easily.
Yes that was actually a wide bracelett I had picked up at a garage sale. It consisted of about 10 of them held together by elastic. i wish I had a picture because its probably hard to picture.
@@crazyglasslady I know exactly what you're talking about. I make bracelets but have never seen anything like that. I don't guess you have one to sell?
I can not remember what I used. You could prob just use a dot of e 6000 that dries clear In this video I did the entire tree with liquid nails and that did not show on the back. Need to wear a respierator or go out side with that. I think lexel is similar
I thought it was a little foggy but I recently have been experimenting with Mod Podge again full strength and i thought it dried fairly clear . I will try to do another video with it on glass
I am so sorry I left that part out.When the tree is dry I replace the glass and run a bead of caulk around the perimeter on the back where the glass meets the frame. You can also put the adhesive down 1st around the perimeter where the glass panel would go and then place the glass on top.I show it in many of my other videos , but forgot to put it in this one. Sorry.
@@crazyglasslady they make the squeeze plastic or glue. It comes in colors, and it also comes in clear, and if you brush that on the glass, when it dries, it looks like stain glass crackles
It works well with crushed glass and I have even used it on fire glass but anything heavier then that needs to b glued with something stronger. here is a fire glass tree.th-cam.com/video/o5R4mMuyg0k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6BUHj-5l9BPkisa9
Yes you could make them on glass or canvas! I know I can not believe it is May. My mother in law always used to say the older you get the faster time goes.
@@melbabowen4389 I haven't done a lot of experimenting with Mod Podge as far as trying to get it off glass I know some people bake it thith food coloring in it to color glass jars.

Thank you for doing your experiment with Mod Podge on the glass Christmas tree.
You are so welcome! I have several other Mod Podge projects
A great idea for a nice hostess gift.
Yes it would be
I’d said it b4 and I’ll say it again - you’re awesome and I love your vids👌🥰
Thank you!😊
I was someone who asked about using mod podge on glass so I really appreciate that you did this video! I love it!
It was a wonderful suggestion thank you!
Did I miss how the plain glass looked with the mod podge?

Simply gorgeous! I’m really enjoying your channel a lot! Thanks!❤
You are so welcome!
Awesome! I’m going to do this instead of resin!!! Much easier❤️
Great I have a few Mod Podge videos.
beautiful!🙂👍☕
Thank you!
I love this idea, I make a different tree every year, I think I'll try your idea this year 👍✌️
Great let me know how it turns out.
BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you!😀
Beautiful!! Thank you for this experiment!! 💚🌲
You are so welcome!
My first time here... thank you❣️ can't wait to try this... subbed
Thanks I have done a few mod podge ones if you scroll through my videos. I recently did another Christmas tree on canvas
that turned out real nice.

I think that was my first mod podge on glass. I have other ones on canvas also.
Thank you for the great videos
You are welcome, thank you!
I'm afraid of resin, so I want to try this technique! Came out so beautiful!
You can do it! I have several other Mod Podge videos on my channel also.
Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
I love it! Very festive🥳
Thank you! 🤗
BEAUTIFUL
Thank you! 😊
If you take the sparkle away, it won't look magical ✨✨
That's right LOL
I love it 🤩
Thank you!
Looks amazing!!!
You should offer classes!!!
That’s kind of what my videos are free classes
Came out nice 😊
Thank you!
Looks beautiful, another great video. Merry Christmas!
Thank you! Merry Christmas!
Your awesome, thank you because I don't use resin. This has been so helpful. 💜 💜
You are welcome I have a few other Mod Podge glass art videos I have a couple more Mod Podge glass art projects coming out in a week or so
How did you finish the back? Did you just glue the mat onto the frame? I love it!!! (Cynthia)
So the glass was glued in place where it originally sat and then it was done just as you see it.
Stunning I will certainly give this a try...do you know what the equivalent of mod podge is in the UK please?
You do not have Mod Podge?
I just looked on amazon UK and they sell Mod Podge

@@crazyglasslady I know exactly what you're talking about. I make bracelets but have never seen anything like that. I don't guess you have one to sell?
What is holding the jewels on the top and bottom? Any glue used would show on the back. Am I correct?

How did the other glass pieces turn out. Ie just the gloss modge podge on glass. Thanks for any info
Lovely piece
I thought it was a little foggy but I recently have been experimenting with Mod Podge again full strength and i thought it dried fairly clear . I will try to do another video with it on glass
How does the glass hold in place with the frame please? Thanks so much for this!

The squeeze stuff
And put glass on it? what do you mean?

Can you use mode podge instead of resin on all things

About how much green glass did you use for the tree?
Oh wow this was a while ago but it is on a fairly small frame so maybe 1/2 cup.
These could sell. Christmas is coming.
Yes you could make them on glass or canvas! I know I can not believe it is May. My mother in law always used to say the older you get the faster time goes.
@Crazy Glass Lady your Mother in law was right.
@@johnrobertd748 LOL, it sure feels like it!
so pretty!!! Do you think the Mod Podge will yellow with time?
Honestly I do not know I need to get my tree down from last year.
i al think the glass could be cleaned easily off Dishwasher safe Mod Podge was used.
