Homemade Mod Podge!

Today I wanted to make a crafter's basic necessity, Mod Podge or decoupage glue.    Plus it couldn't be better timed, we ate spaghetti last night, and you need an empty jar (with a lid) for this project!

*If you'd like to learn more about this conncoction, and how it holds up against the real deal, check out this review, Homemade Mod Podge vs. Real Mod Podge

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
-1 1/2 Cup Flour
-1/4 Cup of Granulated Sugar
-1 Tsp Oil (any kind)
-1 1/4 Cup Water
- Empty Jar (w/air tight lid)

Directions:
- First measure out all of your ingredients.  

- Slowly mix all the ingredients together over low heat. 

- Combine the ingredients until they are well mixed, if it gets too thick add more water. Make sure the water doesn't boil, or the mixture will get very clumpy.  If you want a higher varnish, add more oil.

- Pour mixture into an air tight container, and store at room temperature.  

Hope you all enjoyed.  I borrowed this recipe via instructables.  My hubby helped me with all but the last photo.  Happy DIYing, chris!

EDIT: I recently (12/12) did a review on homemade Mod Podge vs. The Real Deal, if you'd like to know more about this mixture, and how it holds up check out this post.  Thanks lovelies, have a great time DIYing, chris!
