Elmers Glue vs Mod Podge

by Arlie W
If you were going to put some photos on a plastic clear ornaments, would you use Elmers or Mod Podge. I never used Mod Podge. Do they act pretty much the same way? Thanks for your answer.

    Mod Podge is watered down glue. If you have Mod Podge, use that for the ornament as it's thinner than glue and easier to brush on. If you don't have Mod Podge, just add water to the glue until it resembles the thickness of Mod Podge.

      Honestly use what you feel more comfortable with.If you have never used the product it is very thick in consistency. There are several posts on the use of mod podge if you want to do further research.

    I only uses Mod Podge. I have been putting lace on mason jars for Christmas and that work better than any kinds of glue.

    I agree that if you have Mod Podge use that. If not, thin down the white glue a bit and it will still be fine. Have fun!

    I have exclusively used Mod Podge until this winter when I read using white glue and water 1:1 ratio and it worked well. I do not know if it will hold up as long.

    Just reading a remark and a posting about 1:1 or 2:1 to make DIY Mod Podge tells me what I need to know. Never used Mod Podge.
