Mod Podge Creative Fix

Another reason to love Mod Podge is the minimal amount of skill or brain power needed to use it.  It's not toxic so there's no need for caution or ventilated spaces.  There are limitless little projects to fiddle with so you don't need to worry excessively over cost of supplies.  Despite more hay fever and Claritin malaise, I can still play with Mod Podge and not worry that a lapse in reflexes or judgment are going to result in injury.  Like might occur when using a hot iron, a sharp rotary cutter or a very pointy needle under the same conditions.

This time I've added a bolt of blue to the fridge.  The two round magnets and the wooden star came from Michael's.  The Mod Podge, the fabric and the glitter glue were in my supplies.  For these projects I used Fabric Mod Podge and regular Mod Podge.

To make your own, just assemble your supplies and follow the steps below:

1. Apply Fabric Mod Podge to your fabric scraps and allow to dry.  (Remember to use foil or wax paper as your work surface to avoid sticking fabric to your table or counter.)
2. Trace the shapes of the star to make your cutting pattern.  The magnets come with a paper insert that you can use instead of tracing.
3. For the magnets, cut card stock into circles of the proper size and Mod Podge to back of prepared scraps centering your design as desired.  Cut fabric using card stock as your guide.
4. For the star cut out all fabric pieces from scraps.  Mod Podge to the star.  
5. Trim pieces for fit.
6. Put circles into magnet holder and secure with back.
7. To finish star, apply several coats of Mod Podge letting each coat dry thoroughly in between applications.  Use Sparkle Mod Podge for more bling.  When finished with Mod Podge, apply glitter glue to high points and edges of star.  
8. Thread ribbon through pre-drilled hole in the top of the star and hang wherever you want some sparkle.

It's really that easy.  And the cleanup is a cinch too.  Soap and water takes care of it all.  I can imagine a refrigerator with magnet polka dots of different fabrics.  Maybe it's just the hay fever talking but I think it would make a fun statement for the kitchen.
