How to make your own Mod Podge ?


There are many regions of India where mod podge is still not available. I have struggled in the beginning for searching mod podge, so i know the pain. i remember a experience when i was searching for mod podge in local market near me, i found it but it had different packaging but the same name, so i asked the shopkeeper, n he  said, "Mam Yaha koi nahi kharidata, aap jaise ek aadh aa jate hai islie hum ye indian wala rakhte hai." Seriously!! I thought. but i buyed to give it a try, but it was hopeless. And hence i decided, i need to make my own Mod Podge. 

After a lot of research on the internet, and from some childhood memories,(i used to see the show called ArtAttack on Pogo, i don't remember exactly but the host of show used to use this recipe for his projects.) here’s what I tried and tested.



Do it yourself Mod Podge

  1. Get Fevicol MR.
  1.  Mix equal parts of water to it
  1. Stir well until the glue and water form a homogeneous mixture
  1. Use it the way you would use Mod Podge and let it dry.
  1. Apply few layers of clear varnish to protect your work since this cannot provide the same kind of sealant properties Mod Podge can. 
This DIY did work. However, Mod Podge also has a sealer formula that don't exist in craft glues. And that is why it lasts longer and is more durable on projects. This is only a substandard alternative to Mod Podge when it is unavailable near you..
