Easy Decoupage Glue Recipe

It's easy to make your own decoupage glue.  It's also a lot cheaper than buying it already made.  For basic decoupage projects you can mix 3 parts white "school glue" with 1 part water. This gives a finish similar to what you get with basic Mod Podge.

You can use one part glue to one part water for gluing paper items onto something & then seal it with the 3-to-1 mixture if you like.

Try these out on some practice papers first to see if you like the effect. You can adjust the proportions if you like for you project's needs.

An easy project is taking plastic eggs and covering them with papers.  You can make pretty eggs as shown here or make anything you like.  Another easy project is to decoupage a picture frame.  Small table tops are other good projects.  You might want to seal some finished (and completely dry) projects with a waterproof varnish.
