Aloha everyone...I was wondering if anyone had a recipe for homemade Modge Podge...I have never used it but I need some for a project I am working on. I didn't want to buy a huge bottle if I could make a smaller batch.
Mahalo!

Found these online. When I was a kid we used the white glue one sans the varnish and it worked great.

Just Like "Modge Podge Glaze"
Mix 3 parts white glue (elmer's or any cheap brand) to 1 part water. Add more or less water to get the desired texture and thickness. Add 2 Tbsp. varnish, for shine. Put into container with screw on lid.

1/4 c. sugar 1/4 c. non-self rising flour 1/2 tsp. powdered alum 1 3/4 c. water 1/4 tsp. oil of cinnamonIn medium size pan, mix together sugar, flour and alum. Gradually add 1 cup water, stirring vigorously to break up lumps. Boil until clear and smooth, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add remaining water and oil. Stir until thoroughly mixed. Put into container with screw on lid.
Looks like a lot of work. It will last if you don't use it all. I know when I bought a small bottle it was only a couple of dollars.
Most craft stores do sell it in small bottles. Hope that helps.

You can also do this:
Just Like "Modge Podge Glaze"
Mix 3 small squirts of white glue (elmer's or any cheap brand) Add more or less water to get the desired texture and thickness.
Once dried cover with clear "non-yellowing" nailpolish.
At least this is what I did.

I tend to go this route, as it's cheaper than Modgepodge.....be careful though, if you mix in too much water, it can affect the paper and make it peel.
