Nature-inspired decoration for a tabletop lantern: Here's how
For our autumn-themed tabletop lantern, you need: KREUL Nature Handicraft Glue, a glass jar, some sand, assorted dry flowers or pressed leaves and a paintbrush. First paint KREUL Nature Handicraft Glue onto the outside of the glass jar. The milky glue comes in a liquid consistency, making it easy to spread over large areas. Later as the glue dries, it turns transparent. Sprinkle some sand over the glued areas. This gives your lantern an awesome rustic look, which you first need to let dry.
We aren’t just inspired by the beauty of nature, we want to preserve it. That’s why we have developed KREUL Nature Handicraft Glue as a sustainable product. The glue is vegan and made of at least 80 % raw materials of natural origin. The basis for the glue, for instance, are vegetable oils. Of course, KREUL Nature Handicraft Glue is made at our plant in Hallerndorf – with consistent quality, in safe and fair working conditions.
KREUL Nature Handicraft Glue: for large areas or dots of glue
Once the sand has dried, you get to use the KREUL Nature Handicraft Glue again. Stick dried flowers onto the surface of the glass. Simply dot a little glue onto the surface and press the flowers against the glass. Your can also stick pressed leaves onto the glass, but it is best to use a paintbrush to coat these with glue first.
KREUL Nature Handicraft Glue does not contain any solvents, but made on a water basis. That is why it doesn’t smell, so you can comfortably use it indoors. Super for crafting at the cooler times of the year!
All-purpose glue with refill option
Our nature-inspired tabletop lantern is all finished. With this technique, you can decorate home accessories in next to no time. But let’s decorate another glass jar with selected accessories. KREUL Nature Handicraft Glue is an all-purpose glue. You can use it not only to stick on dried and silk flowers, but paper, cardboard, textiles, felt, raffia, leather, cork, wood, glass, polystyrene and plastics, too.
So, of course, you are going to be using the sustainable glue again and again. And that's why we offer a refill option. You can refill the 80-ml-bottle of KREUL Nature Handicraft Glue three times with the content of the 250-ml bottle. So no need to bin the empty 80-ml bottle straightaway, and this way we can protect the environment and save resources.
