DIY HOMEMADE MOD PODGE

We all know how expensive Mod Podge is at the craft store, right?  And since there are so many projects which use it, I thought I could find a homemade version online.  Love pinterest!  This is seriously the easiest DIY project I have ever done.

Supplies:

• A Jar (I rescued an empty Tostitos Creamy Spinach Dip Jar YUMMM which was on its way out to be recycled)
• Elmer's White Glue (I used two 4 fl oz bottles)
• Water

Before I made the Mod Podge, I washed out the jar and spray painted the lid silver.  I also took off the label from the jar and did my best to get rid of all of the adhesive (first tried a paper towel and rubbing alcohol, but it didn't work and then I tried olive oil and it worked like a charm).

Instructions:

1. Empty glue into jar
2. Fill the empty glue bottle with water and pour into the new jar with the glue  (Ideally, you want 50% glue and 50% water)
3. Shake, Shake, SHAKE the jar

That's it!  You have made homemade mod podge!  EASY PEASY!

You can get a little fancy and create a label too if you want.  My label was printed from here.  I simply added text before I printed and then cut it out.  I used packaging tape to tape it on the jar (so it would be easy to take on and off if I wanted and to keep it water sealed).
