Modge Podge (D.I.Y)

[toshi]

Hey has anyone ever used modge podge before?

 

I'm thinking of getting some as I enjoy making my own clothes etc, but I'm a bit lost with it as there are like a billion different types and all the tutorials I've seen show different techniques of using it.

 

I'm hoping to transfer images onto t-shirts, sweaters, etc. It would be nice as well If I could transfer them without a background if thats possible.

 

Also I want to use it to transfer images onto shoes, but the tutorials I've seen have been cutting up images, sticking them on the shoes and then leaving them like that, it doesn't sound like it would be very nice having paper feeling shoes. I want it so I can transfer the image but pull the paper off and leave the image on the shoes.

 

Are these things I want possible with Modge Podge?

No idea. I've only ever used it for pottery.

If your sneakers are like "canvas" style, I think you would be better off with the MOD PODGE FABRIC type. I'm not too sure, my sister has used this before (she's an artist) and likes it.

Ill probably use canvas shoes like 90% of the time, but it would be nice to decorate some plain nike shoes as well.

As far as t-shirts and sweaters, most of the label manufacturers also make iron-on transfer paper. You print your image backwards on the transfer paper, iron it on to the article of clothing, and peel off the back.
