I'm making clear glass Christmas plates with fabric and MP. After the fabric has dried and MP sealer was applied, some of the fabric around the rim of the plate lacks MP to adhere to plate.
Normally if you want to add material to a glass object you need to use a special glue that will allow you to glue the material to the object. Now if the plate needs to have food you would normally only glue a part of the plate and cover this with the material. I find out that MP is not good to use to seal this. I normally seal mine with some clear varnish. Just keep in mind no matter what you will need to leave a section of the plate free from glue or material so that you can add food to the plate. I have made a lot of Christmas plates in the past and when I put the food on the plates I normally lay the food on wax paper if I have covered the full plate.
I want to place holiday stickers on glass ornaments. I am using the glossy so is there a way to use modge podge and not be filmy?
Also can you use modge podge over matte paint on plastic or glass?You can mod podge goes on white but dries clear.So you can use on any surface.
Yes. Seal it down with two or three coats first then do the whole ornament
I am trying to put fabric onto the back of glass plates using mod podge but when it dries I get streaks across the glass. How do I stop this streaking? Thank you.

I have done this a few times and have never had a problem with streaks on the glass. I just went and looked at the one hanging in my daughter's room(I helped her make it as a project for a disabled people's 4-H group that she belonged to at one time.) What we did was we put the mod podge on the plate and then sprinkled some glitter onto the modpodge, then we applied the fabric.
Thank you for your feedback and congratulations on winning the ribbon. My neighbour and I have tried for 3 months now and we still get spotty glass from the modpodge when the light hits it. Obviously we are doing something wrong. Maybe using the wrong modpodge?
You can try applying it with a sponge (& pouncing in on). Also it helps to REALLY press down hard on the fabric with your fingers or a roller to remove the streaks. Then when it's half-way dried, do it again (press down on it). On the areas where there is no fabric, you'll have to carefully wipe off ALL the mod-podge.
* It helps to first clean off the additional wet mod-podge with a paper towel then use a little rubbing alcohol to clean off any additional mod-podge. If you miss a spot, once the mod-podge has dried, use fingernail polish remover to remove the dried on mod-podge.
Thank you for the feedback. I will try pouncing with the sponge. If I ever get it to work they would make lovely Christmas presents. I will keep trying until I do get it right.
I should add that I always use a piece of fabric large enough to cover the entire plate. I have never seen any that didn't cover the entire plate.
I have also had this problem and have realized that how important it is to carefully clean the plate first. I use alcohol and a lint free cloth, let it dry well, pick the plate up and look again to see if it is completely clean and dry - then I apply the Mod Podge. And what the other woman said about pressing down is very, very important!
Thank you all very much for your tips. I will try cleaning the glass with alcohol first.
I'm trying to dye a glass vase with mod podge, but it keeps beating up and not sticking to the glass. Do you know why?
It's not just streaking, it's not sticking at all, as if it's water proof glass.I am trying to use mod podge to glue material fall leaves onto a Mason jar. I have cleaned the jar with alcohol and done everything I know and cannot get them to stick.
I am very frustrated. What am I doing wrong?Okay, I have never used Mod Podge, but I constantly see the name when searching crafts. My question is, can it be used to transfer a saying onto a glass, such as a wine glass from Wall-Mart? If so, how? I'm trying to make personalized glasses for my wedding in October and would very much like to use a specific font, but due to the shape of the glass I cannot properly trace it with a Sharpie. Any and all help is appreciated, thank-you!

Mod Podge is essentially Elmer's school glue in a jar. What it's used for is to seal pictures onto items. I don't think it would work for your purpose. It would make a sticky mess. What I would suggest, is find a custom sticker maker and see if they can do stickers in your font.
Can I mix glitter with mod Podge and paint it directly onto a glass bottle? Thus preventing the mess with sprinkling glitter on?
When using Mod Podge to glue glitter on the stem of a glass I used the paper type. Will that be OK or should I scrap it and go out and buy the dishwasher safe kind?
I Mod Podged fabric on a glass plate using the dishwasher safe Mod Podge formula and the back of the plate is rough to the touch. What can I use to seal it or make it smooth without sanding it? Any ideas? Thanks!
If I used Modge Podge to apply a label to glass, would it dry clear? And would you be able to tell where the Modge Podge was applied? Thank you.

Can I use Modge podge to glue paper on the outside of a mason jar? The jar is not smooth. It has the Ball name on the side.
