This page will guide you to the glue that will give you the best results. We have lots of different types of glue – hobby glue, school glue and glue sticks – and if you use our guide, you are sure to find the right glue for you and your creative project. Follow the guide to find out what kind of glue to use.

We offer a variety of glue qualities that suitable for paper and card. One of these is school glue, which comes in a bottle. Another is hobby glue, which can also be used for other materials, for example EVA foam, textiles and polystyrene. We also supply a glue marker, which is a liquid glue in pen format with a felt tip - ideal for small details and easy to handle. It can also be a good idea to go for a glue stick, which has a fairly firm consistency and is thus less messy than liquid glue. It can also be applied in a thin layer, which reduces the risk of bubbles in the final result. Along with double-sided adhesive tape, these are all suitable for scrapbooking, especially if you are also adding photos. Just make sure you choose acid-free and lignin-free paper or cardboard, otherwise the combination of the glue and the wrong paper quality may gradually start to discolour your photos.
Decoupage varnish has been developed specifically for fixing paper and functions as both glue and varnish. What is more, the product is water-resistant once dry, meaning that the decorated item can be cleaned with a damp cloth if necessary in the future. This is a big advantage for decorative objects and decorative accessories! Choose between different qualities depending on the material you are planning on sticking the paper onto (cardboard/wood, textiles and glass/porcelain). If a water-resistant surface is not required, we recommend lacquer glue or VTR glue. Along with wallpaper paste, the latter products are also suitable for making papier-mache (multiple layers of glued-together paper).
If you are making or repairing jewellery, power glue is the obvious choice. Not least because this glue type is extremely strong and also due to its almost instant drying time. Choose between several qualities, each in a small, handy bottle with either a brush in the lid or a practical dispensing nozzle. Both make fine motor activities a little easier when gluing small beads, gemstones, thin wires and chains, silicone cord etc. The extremely popular and cheaper glue, Clear Multi Glue Gel is also good for jewellery, but you should expect longer drying times with this type.
Remember that you will need a very strong adhesive if you wish to glue together items with a completely smooth, hard surface or that weigh a considerable amount. For example, when riveting together ceramic and porcelain pieces, or if you need to affix mosaic stones to glass and metal. All these types of adhesive are universal and can in principle be used for all applications, but each has their own individual advantages that you should take into consideration. The most environmentally-friendly is the slow-drying Clear Multi Glue Gel. Mounting glue also dries slowly, but it is 100% water resistant.
For bonding light materials such as polystyrene, cotton wool, wood, chenille pipe cleaners and plastic, then we recommend the universal and slow-drying types of glue in a bottle such as Clear Multi Glue Gel. For natural collages made with leaves, for example, we recommend a slow-drying lacquer glue. If you want a shorter drying time, choose a hot glue gun, which is easy to handle and uses special glue sticks. The glue gun is available in two types, which melt the glue at a low or high temperature respectively. The low temperature glue gun is suitable for gluing smaller pieces made from the aforementioned materials. However, we recommend the high temperature glue gun for gluing larger pieces (the higher temperature means a slightly longer drying time but also a stronger result).
