Crushed Glass Christmas Wreaths with Mod Podge

Supplies:

  1. Glossy Mod Podge:
  2. Silicone mold. Make sure it is glossy inside if you want your resin piece to be glossy.
  3. Crushed glass.
  4. Ribbon.
  5. Small bow and/or flowers.
  6. Extra pieces to decorate with, like sequins, tube glitter, thick glitter, different colors of crushed glass, and diamond gems.

Steps:

1. Mix your glossy Mod Podge with a little bit of water. (I mixed to much water with my Mod Podge) The water helps make the Mod Podge seep into all the cracks.

2. Pour a little bit of your Mod Podge into the bottom of your mold to insure the glue mixture reaches the bottom of your mold.

3. Pour crushed glass of your choice of color into your silicon mold. Stop at about half way and place your ribbon to hang your wreath from. You may need to adjust the ribbon occasionally.

4. Pour a little more Mod Podge into each of your molds, then pour more crushed glass on top followed by a little more Mod Podge. The amount of crushed glass depends how thick you want your wreath to be.

5. Place extra decorations on each of your wreaths. I like to add a bow or flower to the top of my wreath to finish it off.

6. Add a little more Mod Podge to each mold to insure all extra decorative pieces are covered.

7. Carefully unmold your wreaths.

8. My glue was not drying. So, I had to remove as much of my wreath as I could and flip it over to allow the back side to dry.

9. Once the back was dry, I then added more crushed glass, that was still very wet with my Mod Podge, to the back of my wreath to build it up and give it more stability. Wait for that to fully dry and repeat if needed.

For some reason my Mod Podge was not drying. I am not sure if it was because I added to much water to my Mod Podge or if the Mod Podge needed the light or air to help it dry, which it was not getting at the bottom of the mold. To fix this, I recommend using a thinner mold like the one I show in my video.

I love how these turn out, but the resin version was a lot easier for me and will hold up a lot better. I am not sure how long these wreaths will last since they will need to be stored away after the holidays.
