Hello, hello there!
I was pretty excited to receive a box of goodies from Plaid.
Today I am sharing how to create a cute piece of art work with Mod podge Melts.
Mod podge melts are new, and of course I have never worked with them and you all know how much I already love mod podge.
To be honest, when I saw the mod podge melt form, I was a little clueless as to what exactly I would do with these.These forms are small
and I really have never worked with anything like this.
So there it sat on my kitchen table for about a week.
I wanted to do something really different.
I thought these are super cute to make some jewelry with
however,
no that’s not me.
How about something cute with a can and embellish with these?
Ok, so that was my first mini trial
I realized I should have trimmed these up with small scissors as you can see I had slight glue overflow.
That would have cleaned it right up.
NO biggie, moving on.
Supplies:
High Temp Hot Glue Gun
Mod Melts in Milk Glass White
Mod Mold
Acrylic Paint
Paint Dauber
So I got to it, and made the little forms which was simple
Simply insert the mod podge melt stick in a hot glue gun
and shoot the gun into the form
wait ten minutes and pop them out.
Paint with the dabber.
A few weeks back a friend of mine ordered some vinyl wall words for another friends new kitchen.
She received a freebie of a cute tree and bird.
My friend Natalie said here Debbiedoo’s you like birds and I am sure you can come up with something fun to do with this.
This morning the light bulb went off…
use the mod podge little melt forms to embellish the vinyl tree that I wound up just putting in the guest room as you enter.
Done deal!
Cute as cute can be:)
Hope you enjoyed my easy diy art work with mod podge melts.
Your creativity can go in many directions with these cute little embellishments.

June 27 at 10:24 amOMGosh- Aren’t those cute? The kids would love them-but I wouldn’t let them touch the hot glue part but they could certainly pop them out and paint them. Very clever and I like the way you used them on the tree-xo Diana

June 27 at 10:32 amNow that is just the cutest idea with the birds and branch. : ).. Adorable! You always have the best ideas! Well done!
Victoria says
June 27 at 11:59 amOh how darling! Could you use them as furniture appliques also? I’ve never seen or heard of them before!
debbiedoo's says
June 27 at 12:39 pmSure you can, I don’t see why not:)

Melissa@TheHappierHomemaker says
June 27 at 5:08 pmWow! Those are super cute-I love it! I think I’d try some jewelry or hair clips. Or what about embellishments for gift tags? I can’t wait to try these-it seems like there are a ton of possibilities!!
Courtenay says
June 27 at 5:12 pmThose look so fun! I know one craft that I’ll be doing with my daughter this Summer! She’s just getting to be old enough to use the glue gun, so she’ll LOVE having these to play around with too!
Jessi @ Practically Functional says
June 27 at 5:20 pmOh wow Debbie, I just LOVE those melts on that wall! What a totally creative idea! The vinyl by itself would have been super cute, but I love the color and the 3D of adding the birds and butterflies!!! Pinning for sure!
Kristin @ Yellow Bliss Road says
June 27 at 5:21 pmWhat a cute idea Debbie. I love the little tree. Really dresses up a spot you wouldn’t be likely to notice otherwise!
Hmmm I would probably create some kind of wall art.
Angela says
June 27 at 6:06 pmSo cute!! You’ve got my create juices flowin!! LOL!! ~~Angela

June 27 at 6:39 pmDebbie, I have heard of these, but when I went to find them, they weren’t in the stores yet! I love what you did with your wall art…so cute! If you do another post I would love to know how many sticks it took to like make 4 or 5 birds…do they go a long ways? I wonder what they cost? Got to try them!

Courtney @ Golden Boys and Me says

June 28 at 10:38 amDebbie these are adorable! I’ve never heard of Mod Melts before, but I bet Garrett would love crafting something with these! Great ideas!
Deborah D says
June 28 at 11:02 amLove you idea! And your your new hair do too!
jenny@birdsandsoap says
June 28 at 9:30 pmAdorable project! You know I love anything birds, I especially love how you used them to make your vinyl stand out. It took it from cutesy to real art! I could totally move in that guest room. This looks like a new craft I could get into; birds on everything!
Heather Luckhurst says
July 1 at 9:18 amSoo pretty and adorable Debbie! There are so many different ways you could decorate your home with this product! I’ve never used it – off to check it out! Pinned!
Jennifer Edwards says
July 1 at 12:18 pmI tried these this weekend. I used two sticks of melt material on about a dozen forms. Am I the only one that’s having a problem with air bubbles? I start filling the mold from the middle, then loop around until the whole mold is full. I even tried dropping the mold on the table from a couple of inches, hoping to settle the melt material. But every dang one of my forms came out with air bubbles, or places where they weren’t filled in. I would LOVE any advice you have. Thanks!
debbiedoo's says
July 1 at 12:22 pmHi there Jennifer. You have to use a high temperature glue gun. You can pop the bubbles with a pin. I did not have any troubles at all with bubbles. I filled the form even slightly and now learned I could trim the access around the form once I pop out my embellishment.
Cathie Filian says
July 17 at 11:03 amAdorable!!! We love what you made with our Mod Melts! Sharing today on Facebook. 🙂
Carol says
July 17 at 7:28 pmWell, seriously, where have I been? I’ve never heard of this product before. I think this certainly means I need to spend more time at Michael’s or Hob Lob — I mean, really, I need to stay up on all things new, fun and just doggone cute! Your jars turned out so cute.
I saw on FB that you are doing something with Rit, and I just wanted to say how great that is and how much you deserve that recognition. Congratulations, Debbie!

February 24 at 10:16 amI am so far behind, I didn’t even know these existed. What a fun idea, I love the tree on the wall!
Christina says
June 9 at 8:31 amSo Fun! Just bought these and am so excited to use them- I never would have thought of wall accents – love it 🙂
annebee says
August 11 at 2:08 amYou can also use the molds with high temp glues and glitter glue sticks. I used the molds for creating pieces with polymer clay also…so cool.
Crafty Connie says
August 2 at 9:51 amI’m going to the store today to get the Mod Podge sticks, Hadn’t heard of them before, thanks for your instructions, so cute, love the tree. Howare these sticks different than glue sticks?
