Adhesives are incredibly versatile, and their uses go beyond just sticking things together. Here are some unusual and creative things you can do with adhesives:
Create Texture Art
Mix adhesives with materials like sand, salt, or sawdust to create textured art pieces. Apply the mixture to canvases or other surfaces for a unique tactile experience. Bodar Fast Fix Odorless white adhesive is perfect for this project.
Make Custom Stickers
Use adhesive sheets to create your own custom stickers. Draw or print your designs, adhere them to the adhesive sheet, and cut out the shapes for personalized stickers. If your materials are all paper you can use the Bodar Classic multi-use paper glue for the best results.
Craft 3D Paintings
Apply adhesive in varying thicknesses to create a raised surface on a canvas. Once dry, paint over it to add dimension and create 3D paintings. Again the Bodar Fast Fix Odorless white adhesive is best for such a project.
Design A Decoupage Masterpiece
Combine adhesive with cutouts from magazines or decorative paper to create a decoupage masterpiece on furniture, home decor items, or even phone cases.
Craft Glue Batik
Use white glue to create a batik effect on fabric. Apply the glue in intricate patterns, let it dry, and then dye the fabric. The glue will resist the dye, leaving behind beautiful designs.
Make Faux Stained Glass
Create a faux stained glass effect by outlining designs on glass or clear plastic with black glue. Once dry, fill in the shapes with colored glue to mimic the look of stained glass.
DIY Luminaries
Apply adhesive to glass jars or containers in decorative patterns. Once dry, place a candle inside to create unique and personalized luminaries.
Craft With Hot Glue
Use hot glue to draw freeform designs on surfaces. Once dry, paint over the glue to create raised, textured artwork.
Seal and Waterproof
Use clear adhesive to seal and waterproof various items. This is particularly useful for protecting labels, outdoor signs, or preserving delicate materials.
Design Glue Sun Catcher
Create a sun catcher using adhesive and food coloring. Drop different colors of food coloring onto a plastic sheet covered with adhesive, swirl them together, and let it dry to create a vibrant sun catcher.
Fix A Drafty Window With Beads
Apply adhesive around the edges of a window and press beads into it. Once dry, the beads can act as a decorative and functional seal, helping to keep drafts out.
Craft With Glue Gun Wax Seal
Use a hot glue gun to create your own wax seals. Drip hot glue onto envelopes or other surfaces, then stamp with a seal before the glue fully dries.
