Pinterest Project #8 - Homemade Mod Podge!
Pinterest Project #8 of my 365 Days of Pinterest Projects (on a Budget!) Challenge...
Guess what, I found a recipe on Pinterest for homemade Mod Podge. I think I've only bought Mod Podge one time in my life, but since I started pinning projects & gathering ideas for my challenge over this next year, I realized I need to get ahold of some Mod Podge. I'm a frugal gal, so the thought of making my own appealed to me!
Speaking of being frugal, if you are inclined to buy real Mod Podge, it is fairly cheap at Walmart. But might I suggest if you have a Hobby Lobby nearby, use a 40% off coupon that Hobby Lobby offers every week (print the coupon online) and it ends up being cheaper than Walmart! Incidentally, Hobby Lobby's Krylon spray paint will also end up being cheaper than Walmart if you use a 40% off coupon.
Alright, on to the recipe for homemade Mod Podge. A lot of homemade Mod Podge recipes say to use a 50/50 solution of glue and water. Personally, I think it is too runny, so I adjusted mine to about 75% glue and 25% water. I reused a little mayonnaise jar, poured in the glue and water, screwed the lid on tight and shook the jar until it was mixed. This was so much cheaper than buying the real thing. I hope the results are similar! You never know until you try!
