11 Recipes to make your own glue
by Jen
You can make your own glue – even specialty types of glue – at home with ingredients that aren’t hard to find or work with. This is cheaper than using the storebought stuff, and also allows you to make only as much as you need.
- Waterproof Glass Glue recipe – works well for gluing pretty much anything to glass, and also metal to metal.
- Four recipes for basic glue, paste, Papier-Mache Paste and a no-cook paste recipe. You can add food coloring to these to interest kids in craft projects.
- Envelope or stamp glue – four recipes for lickable glue that go well with making your own envelopes out of recycled paper.
- Another recipe for papier-mache paste.
- Two library paste recipes. Used for binding paper and paperboard. And there’s a recipe for clear library paste on this page, as well as several other recipes for other kinds of glue.
