I'm make a collage on my notebook, and I'm wondering if I can use rubber cement, bc i don't have glue and i only have a rubber cement bottle. Also, any ideas for me to glue on there? And the sad thing is is that i only have a Seventeen Magazine, and i need inspiration? :)
Ooooh, and arts and crafts question! I like these :) Okay, unfortunatly, rubber cement isn't the right type of glue to use if you're going to be making a collage made from magazine clips. It's usually used for thicker pieces of paper like construction paper or something. But if that's the only thing on you right now, I guess you can use it. You just have to be pretty careful with it so the pictures don't get all bulky and unsmooth. A trick I like to do is just use a little bit of it, and scoop very small clumps with a popsicle stick. Therefore, you can use the pop-stick instead of that brush the bottle comes from, and easily smooth the glue better in places. If you don't have a popsicle stick on you, then you can use the brush and your finger when you want to smooth it, but your finger gets sticky after a while (duh) so that could be annoying, and leave a small mess. As for the magazine, you could make a small self-portrait if you want. You can cut out a picture of your face, and then use bits out of the magazine to make your body. You can cut out a torso of someone, or you could cut out something totally different, like cut out a huge bolded word (CUTE, FASHION, STYLE) and use that as your torso or as your legs, or whatever you want. (Besides, I just made that idea up from the top of my head. There are endless possibilites on how to make a collage from a magazine. Heck, you can even draw some things if they're not in the magazine and glues them on!) Also, you can cut out words and spell things you want, like (Your Name)'s NoTe-BoOK using random letters from the magazine if you want. Welp! That's all the advice I have right now. I hope I helped :) Hope your collage looks great!! - Kira
No, it isn't good for collages. It does dry clear but, If you want to cover the artwork with it, dries sticky. ModgePodge is the best and you can get a Michaels coupon in the paper to get it 40% off. Definitely use ModgePodge!
