 ReUseIt Project: Stick Um's

 

Level: Easy

 

Time: 1 Hour

(not including drying time)

 

 Materials:

9" and 6" square

pieces of

a white plastic

grocery bag

 

12" square piece

of thin cardboard

  Supplies:

       Mod Podge      

Paint

Tape

Pattern

 

 

 

 Tools:

Scissors

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Notes:

Picture pattern

is up to you!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tape the 9" piece of plastic to the 

cardboard.Place the pattern on top of the

plastic and mark the plastic about an

1" over the size of the pattern.

 

 

 

Using a paint brush,apply

2 heavy layers of Mod Podge the size

of the marks, as smooth as possible,

allowing to dry in between layers.

 

 

After it's completely dry, place

 the pattern on the layers of Mod Podge

then tape the 6" piece of plastic over

 top of the pattern.

 

 

Since you can see thru the plastic,

it's not neccessary to draw the pattern,just

start painting!The neat thing is,if you mess up,

it's easy to wipe off or if the paint has dried,

use a craft knife and lightly draw a line over

the area and peal off.Or,you can just replace

the plastic!

Once the paint dries,remove the

top piece of plastic with the painted design

and trim around the edge.

Secure the design to the dried layers

of Mod Podge by applying a small amount

of Mod Podge either on the back of the design 

or on top of the Mod Podge layers, to hold in

 place.Apply 2 layers of Mod Podge over top of

the design,allowing to dry in between layers.

 

 

After the project is completely dry,gently

 peel off from the first layer of Mod Podge at one

 of the corner marks.You can cut out the design

or cut a shape around the design. It sticks great

to windows or the frig!

  

This same procedure can work for a

large window scene (I'm thinking of doing one

for Christmas decor) or putting several designs

together and moving them around for a different

look etc...they can be removed and placed

over and over again!
