For the Love of DIY Mod Podge

More DIY Mod Podge Adventures! I probably should have made this two videos but didn't, so you can hop around to whatever interests you. I have to say I'm still crushing on my original DIY Mod Podge mix, but in this video I introduce a second recipe that I like, perhaps a smidge more! In this video I show you how DIY (or any) Mod Podge can save the day for delicate papers and cheezy 1980s greeting cards. Plus I show how I get a smooth silky, brush-free finish on decoupaged candy tins. Thanks for stopping by! For your love and support, and I invite you to share your mod podge triumphs and nightmares! (We've all had them!)

Did you use clear Matte? I used to make my own too, years ago, i dont rem what i used, lol. Today i just use pva watered down, but im not triple coating to create a sand able surface. I also love to use matte fluid medium as a topcoat and sometimes to apply tissue etc. Was fun to watch, thank you.

[@sparkbirdstudios]

Are you asking about the acrylic polycoat? I used Gloss finish - but it still came out matte in the end which works for me!

[@jaciswarts4466]

What about the old tins that have a raised top where the letters have a 3 D effect .. have you used any of them and had good results ?

[@sparkbirdstudios]

Yes! I do use actual Altoids tins as well. You can feel the embossing with regular paper but can minimize it by printing your are on 110# index stock, or using heavy weight papers. Have fun@

[@candiceblack1476]

Do you print the designs for the tins on cardstock or plain copy/print paper?

[@sparkbirdstudios]

I mostly print on HP Premium 32 which is little sturdier than plain copy paper and it works well. Sometimes when using actual Altoids tins I also print on 110# card stock. It minimizes being able to feel the raised design of the Altoids tin.
