Pledge floor cleaner... Don't. It will yellow and crack! Polycrylic ages well. Drain any excess by placing them upside down in cups. Allow the medium to set apx 3 minutes _BEFORE_ adding your glitter. These are important steps. Allow 24 hr drying time before capping.
thanks
Yup!! Definitely yellows and cracks! Would never use the floor cleaner because of that!!
What should you use if your trying to paint (not glitter) the inside of the bulbs? I have used poly acrylic mixed with paint (chalk paint and acrylic paint) it ends up cracking .
@@chanelbovaburnworth487 hmm maybe just acrylic paint?
Its floor gloss not cleaner...theres a difference
I use the mod lodge watered down and it works fine and looks just like the poly acrylic,
So just water down the mode podge?
@@cassandradlminguez5399 Yes..but not too much. Make it like a thinish milky consistency. If you use straight mod podge you get a coverage that is too thick and takes forever to dry!
It will crack, trust me...
same thing I do. I use the super gloss mod podge & water it down.
How long does the ornament last with the mod podge?
Thanks to you and all the commenters. I am about to make ornaments for everyone in my family and almost used mod podge. Taking it back to exchange for polycrylic for this project. Thanks so much for saving me time - and tears, as I want these to last.
You're welcome!
Thank you Tanner for this comparison. I never would have thought about the mod podge being so think and harder to dry, makes sense now. I love how your always teaching us different techniques
Thank you so much Treva 💖
The polycrylic definitely looks much better and demonstrates the glitter in a greater shine. My personal preference is the polycrylic. Great video thanks for sharing.
That polycrylic ornament is beautiful! You can tell the glitter held better. ❤️
Thank you for watching! ❤
As a MGL member and learning this process from Tanner, I’ve only ever used the poly!
Great comparison, thank you! Off to grab some floor cleaner.🎄🥰
In one cricut face book group I’m in, some girl used clear Elmer’s glue for her glitter ornaments and they turned out awesome! That would have been cool to compare
Thank you for watching! ❤
I was just about to ask about the clear elmers glue! Would love to see a video of this!
I used elmers glue, all the glitter and glue dripped to the center, and even after 3 days, it still wasn’t dry!!
That’s great! I have some at home and wanted to try it. Will try it out later this week!
I made some with Elmer’s glue 15 years ago and they still look great. I’m actually a little surprised no glitter has fallen off.
Polycrylic and extra fine glitter.
yes!
Are there any tips on fixing ornaments that have streaks or bald spots?
Since it's floor cleaner and not glue, did the glitter come off after it fully dried or when you tap it against a table?
Love the comparison videos. Excellent. So far I have not made a glitter ornament due to the “mess” factor. Wishing you Tanner, Rachel, Courtney, Becca, Blake, Joe and the entire MGL team a super week. Hugs Susan
Thank you so much Susan 💖
I just started making glitter ornaments and love them! I use the polycrcrylic and I allow them to drain upside down for 10 to 20 minutes! I also went to Walmart and bought ketchup bottles not sure if that’s what they are called that I put my glitter in to pour into the ornaments and I also put a garbage bag on my work surface and it catches any loose glitter and is not all over! The only time that I like static! Lol! If you want to see the bottles I use for my glitter message me and I will share a picture not sure if one can be added here!
Also with the mod podge I let it dry for a little bit before putting the glitter in it. With thinning the mod podge down so its more like the poly acrylic it makes it work just like it.
Yes, good tip
Does it matter what type of mod podge you are working with? Or type of glitter it is?
Also can you mix the glitter in with the mod podge before hand would that work??
How long did it take to dry? How has it been holding up?
I used Mop n Glo last year as a gift for a workmate that just got married so I made their 1st Christmas ornament as a married couple and my results were the same as your floor cleaner but I did measurements and a lot of steps I got off of the internet your way was way easier. Thank you for showing me I didn't have to be so OCD.
Thank you so much Nadine 💖
Thank you! This was the video I was looking for !!
You are welcome!
I used hairspray inside mine and when knocked it bumped the glitter has already fallen off, is there a way to fix this without having to start over? Please any help or advice is appreciated
I just watched someone using Suave Max Hold hairspray for glitter ornaments. She sprayed 7 or 8 times and her glitter ornaments turned out great!
And I was just about to throw away all my hairspray- thanks!
I do not think the hairspray holds the glitter for very long. If the ornament is banged the hairspray cracks and falls off.
Oooh I’ll have to try this! That’s the type of hairspray I use lol
Hi1 have you ever tried clear Elmers glue? I have a big bottle and wondering if that would stand the test of time? Thanks. Good video!
I've been making these for years and I've found that the glitter falls from the sides of the ornaments when stored if you use floor cleaner. I've used ModPodge with great success, but I thin it down. I've not used polyurethane yet because I don't want such a large amount of adhesive sitting around between projects.
We totally understand and have actually gotten that complaint about the floor cleaner! Thank you for your opinion!
@@MakersGonnaLearn people should try cleaning their floors.
How much water do you add to mod podge?
What size glitter do ya'll recommend. I been using ultra fine but feel like it's too see through. I use polycrylic. This is my first year doing glitter ornaments
Awesome video! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
I pour my Polyacrylic in a dollar tree condiment bottle and it pours really well and stores too.
Yes! That fun hack is in a video we have coming out this holiday season!
The $1 condiment squeeze bottles work great too.
I love the pledge floor gloss
Could you possibly add modpodge or something over your dried ornament glitter inside to keep it from cracking or yellowing from the floor polish? Just started making these and my first couple have been sentimental to me and I don’t want them to be ruined by next year😔
How do you put the glitter in there where it looks like it’s iridescent?
How do you Clean the syringes or do you just throw them away?
I did a mod podge ornament 4 days ago and it is still not completely dry. I even left the lid off and set it upside down to let any excess drain out before applying the glitter. I’m anxious to see what it will look like when finally dry. But I’m heading to the store to buy polycrylic it looks beautiful from the get go
Did they ever dry?
I used mop and global 2vyears ago to make glitter ornaments and they are still beautiful
Five or so years ago I used Mop n Glo floor wax, which is milky in appearance, to make a glitter ornament as seen in YT videos. Mine wasn’t very good. I’ll be using Minwax polycrylic in the future, between that and the Pledge, the polycrylic looked better, imo.
Thanks for sharing!! You'll love the polycrylic for this! amzn.to/2KzC588
this tutorial has presented a true comparison on the type of adhesive used.thanks for the information. I really saw not much difference between the floor cleaner and the polyacrilic
You're very welcome!
Awesome training. Thanks
Thank you for watching! ❤
I tried using freeze hold hair spray and it worked well
About 5 years ago I made glitter ornaments with Pledge and as of last Christmas they looked as good as the day I made them! I bought old glass ornaments that had seen better days at the local goodwill, and removed the inside coloring with some bleach and canning salt and let them dry overnight before applying the glitter.
Thanks for the update!
Colorado Leen I think I used that same product - it was trending on YT, wasn’t it - and was not happy with my results, even with another application. I’m glad yours turned out good.
@MarilynOtte Quick question.. How do you thin mod podge or Elmers glue? I'm a Major newbie on this subject. :)
Hello! So, you would thin it by adding water to it :)
What matters most to me is how long will it last ! I have heard from others that have making these glitter bulbs that the floor cleaner ended up cracking and falling from the inside therefore no good. Polly just in my book has no worries. Easier and ready to use.
That's what we prefer too :)
I just made a bunch of glitter ornaments using straight mod podge. It does take a long time to dry but they look great once dry. I did buy polycrylic but haven’t used it yet
How long does it take for mod podge to dry?
@@catrinasmith2651 over a day to completely dry. Maybe an hr for it to stop dripping. I don’t remember exactly.
I used Pledge and found that the glitter doesn't stay on very well. Some of my ornaments from last year have large areas with no glitter. I am definitely going to try the polyacrylic this year. Thanks for the comparisons!
You're welcome!
Can you try diluting the model podge? I would love to see if that would work.
You're welcome to try that!
cbklynfinest233 (
do you think the mod podge wold have worked better if you used the clear mod podge instead of matte? just curious before my family and i start making ornaments tomorrow!(:
I don't think it was the finish as much as the consistency! Good thought though. Mod Podge is just so thick.
Try letting some of the excess minwax drain out till its almost clear! Wont be as heavy and still is great coverage!!!
I used Polycrylic on mine. It's been 2 days and it's not drying. Any advice?
@ mandi. I saw a comment here that said to leave off the cap for 24 hrs to allow it to dry.
@@EllaL123 Hi there. Thank you for responding but what am I supposed to leave the cap off of?
@ mandi the comment I read said to leave the top ( I shouldn’t have said cap) of the ornament off for 24 hrs so it would dry. I’m doing mine now so I’m going to see if that works.
Thank you for the comparison. I would have like to have seen them after they fully dried. Also, how do they hold up for the long term? Tfs and God Bless ☃️
So far they've held up just fine!
@@MakersGonnaLearn , I mean like after a year or so?
I used floor cleaner last year, all the glitter fell off of them by the time I pulled them out this year.
@@allisonsmith4748 I've heard that happens, so sorry 😞
@@designsbydawn976 It’s okay, learning experience. Now I can make them again 😁
How long did you let the mod podge drain out of the ornament for?
A few minutes! Then add your glitter, and place it back upside down in your cup and allow it to drain and dry through the night :)
I'm looking into making these but my only concern is safety. Are the glues flammable?
Never thought to use a syringe. Thanks so much. Made my work much easier and less messy
The syringe is a great hack!
great comparison
Thank you so much!
Can you use polyurethane?
A friend of mine did the floor cleaner one and it was beautiful at first then all the glitter fell down later. I don't know if this is common and if it is then it should be a consideration.
Thank you for watching! ❤
Ugh thats what happened to mine. I want to sell my customers quality long lasting ornaments. I think ill try the polycrylic
@@Jessica-bx6im I am selling ornaments too, did the polycrylic work?
Try it with hairspray! Works great!
Thanks for the suggestion!
Hmmmm what a cool idea!
The thing I've found with floor cleaner I have used was the glitter is always loosening. I had glitter everywhere and I shook it out so many times. Also, you don't let the Poly sit a little bit to get tackier before inserting the glitter?
JESSICA BARROZO
I always sit my ornaments over a small Dixie cup and let as much polyacrylic run out as possible and let it get a little bit tacky before putting the glitter in.
C F me too!
Me too! I swear that’s the way I had seen tanner do it last year when I signed up.
I did this using the floor wax and chunky glitter to test, and there are some holes...after slowing proper drying time, do you think I could repeat the process to try to fill holes?
Thanks for the comparison-I LOVE listening to you craft!!
It's worth a shot!
I was about to make glitter ornaments with mod podge, but used the floor cleaner thanks to this video! I'm so glad I did, they turned out amazingggggg!!!!
Thank you for watching! ❤
How have they aged with the floor cleaner ? Did they yellow and fall apart?
How have they held up?!
Didn't the glitter get cross-contaminated? Or did you use 3 different glitter bottles?
We used different glitter :)
Thanks for the test. 3 syringes up👍
Thank you so much for watching 💖
Do you shake or stir the minwax?
Stir so it won't get bubbles
@@keriturner6135 Thanks I didn't think about bubbles.
What size glitter are you using?
It's pretty big
Polycrylic needs to be used in a well ventilated room. It works the best but be careful not to breathe the fumes. Thank you for the other options.
yes always use in a well ventilated area or outside! :)
I have used it for many things and never smelled anything and no I so not smoke never have , my nose works actually to well. Never had a problem but heck its always good to have good air
Great info!! Loved this video!
So glad you loved it!😊
Which one works better on glass?
Minwax Polycrylic: amzn.to/2KzC588
@@MakersGonnaLearn thank you!
I uses the polyacrylic but it was still wet and runny even a week later leaving clear spots. I tried to redo the process for a second layer and it all just ran. What am i doing wrong?
Same thing is happening to me. I put the Polycrylic in the ball, coated it well, let it drip for 2 or 3 min, then poured glitter and dumped excess.. It's been 2 days and it's not dry. I tested it, to see if it was dry, by gently placing my finger on the side and it moved. It's still wet. Have you found a solution yet?
@@mandijones4995 Hey guys! I just made some last night with poly, I let mine sit upside down on an old pill bottle for like 10 min then added the glitter. and shook it around. I just checked on them about 24 hours later and they are all dry. hope this helps. :)
@@angelacaputo439 thank you so much for this!!!! ✨🥰
@@NurseSnow2U absolutely ❤️❤️
What is the uk equivalent to polycrylic?
I would love to know that to xx
I've made baubles as gifts for last 10 years for sick children...blue glitter or acrylic with Superman logo and red ones also. Found 2 old ones in my craftroom from 4 years ago and they are still perfectly fine. I used modge podge gloss lustre or sparkle (thinned down a little) just tried another one 1 week ago using Craftmill polyurethane craft varnish clear gloss same consistency as Minwax £3.10 for 250ml as opposed to Minwax over £30 for us in the UK 😳. Just checked their website out of stock atm 🙊...just found the little craftybugs company and creativ company online...both have demo of glitter baubles made with transparent glass glue....hope this helps 👍
Great! Hopefully some of our UK friends can help you!
Hopefully some of our UK friends can help you!
Thank you for your opinion!
i’ve always used the super gloss mod podge, but watered down! it works so much better than just using mod podge as is. it dries much clearer and i’ve never had issues with this method.
Thanks for sharing!
Where is the dried mod podge one??
But how did the mod podge ornament look after it dried?!?!?!
It looked good!!! :)
I used Elmers clear glue worked like a charm
Great!!
Takes forever to dry
MIND READERS!! I was doing research on this very topic today!!!
Yay!
I did the mod podge and I didn't care for it it made the glitter dull
We understand that! It was pretty thick!
I am looking for that brand at Home Depot pledge they don’t have it
Ive used floor cleaner and never had problems.
We used the pledge floor cleaner because it was a last minute idea to have a fun craft to do with my family. We loved how easy and fun it was! And we all loved our creations! UNTIL... the next morning when all our ornaments were clear again. That was very disappointing. Oh well, lesson learned - stick to polyacrylic.
aww, we're sorry you had that issue!
Thank you for posting this comment, though im very sorry they didnt stay beautiful. Going to use polycrylic now for sure!
Maybe follow with a second coat to seal the glitter..
Wish you showed how it dried
Minwax Polycrylic: amzn.to/2KzC588 dried the best :)
I use a glitter glue I forgot the brand name lol. Awesome video !
Thank you Sara 💖
I've heard the floor cleaner cracks over time, unfortunately.
The syringe is a great idea. "Your local drug store is happy to give you some for all your medical or crafting needs". 😆
Oh no!! That darn floor cleaner! Also, that's too funny haha!
And you need to let your ornaments drip for a minute or so I use and old egg carton and put them upsidedown before you add the glitter.
sure
I don’t know how to make a comment on my own, sorry for adding to this .... Tanner, how do you ‘PAINT’ the inside of ornaments? I used polycrylic mixed with chalk paint and also tried it mixed with acrylic paint... both keep chipping. I do use plastic bulbs. I have many orders coming in and I am scared to paint these bulbs again bc last years didn’t hold up for most. I am so sad!
Great demo
Thank you for watching! ❤
I like the floor polish process, the finished result looks a little like mercury glass. Yikes, just checked the price on Revive it, $65 !?!
Mix your MP glue with the glitter than put it into the clear ball and leave the top off, it will dry.
Great tip!
So I also tried the floor care n modpodge.. with floor wax, all my glitter fell off ...did this happen to anybody else?
We've heard that before! Minwax Polycrylic: amzn.to/2KzC588 is the best option that we've tried :)
We have found that Pledge and other floor polishes did not hold up well for ornaments you want to keep. Is disheartening for anyone who has spent time making these ornaments, whether a child or adult, to have the glitter not stick well, ornaments yellow, etc.
We agree! We like polycrylic.
I prefer only using polyurethane and waiting 30 mins before putting in the glitter to ensure all excess poly is drained out and tacky NOT wet, glitter sticks beautiful and you absolutely have to let them dry 48 hours before putting the tops back on or you risk scratching the glitter off with those crazy little prongs
Great tips!
The word is Polycrylic, not PolyAcrylic. Thanks for your comparison.
Anytime!
Floor cleaner is definitely not an option, it cracks and the polycrylic is the best.... 100% long lasting for years to come....
But it’s not clear. I tried it out and it clouded my fine glitter 😩 wasn’t happy with the result so I ended up rinsing it out and using clear Elmer’s glue, it really makes it sparkle ✨
