There are a lot of great decoupage mediums out there (Modge Podge is my favorite) however I find there are times that a) I am too lazy to go buy any, b) don't have money to buy any or c)..well screw it , 2 reasons are all I can come up with. So anyway, I have a recipe for making my own. It is really easy and super cheap, and most people have the 2 ingredients on hand anyway. So here it is....Elmers white glue and water, 50/50 solution. Really, and for truly, that is it. Mix it up and slap it on.
I did up this wooden box with my mixture and pages from a book I finally read to pieces. I just removed the hardware to make it easier to cover and then let it dry overnight. I love that a craft that is so "old school" made this boring box so cool and contemporary. As well as letting me reuse one of my favorite books!
