We have developed the special glue to be as resource-friendly as possible. The formulation of the glue is vegan and contains at least 80 % raw materials of natural origin. And in line with that, everything around it is environmentally friendly. The plastic used for the glue tub consists of 40 % recycled material, its lid is even made of 96 % recyclate. That means we use raw materials that are already in circulation. KREUL Art Potch Nature is not produced overseas, but in Germany – in Hallerndorf in Upper Franconia. It is important for us that we can trust in the expertise of our highly trained employees. This not only ensures high product reliability, but fair working conditions, too. ![](https://farben-blog.c-kreul.de/fileadmin/_processed_/0/c/csm_491_KREUL_Art_Potch_Nature_Serviettentechnik_Nachhaltig_3_8cbcb35e38.jpg "Blumentopf Übertopf Dose DIY Garten Deko Idee Pflanzen KREUL Nature Art Potch") ### Silk-gloss and weatherproof finish Just one product is needed for stylish designs. After all, KREUL Art Potch Nature is glue and varnish in one. The sustainable special glue for paper napkin decoupage is water-based. In the tub, it has a milky appearance, but it dries transparent to a silk-gloss finish. Once dried, KREUL Art Potch Nature is weatherproof. Perfect for plant pots or candle holders used outdoors. This makes it super easy to make one-of-a-kind decorative items for your balcony, garden and patio. ![](https://farben-blog.c-kreul.de/fileadmin/_processed_/5/8/csm_491_KREUL_Art_Potch_Nature_Serviettentechnik_Nachhaltig_4_9687ca39bd.jpg "Sommer DIY Gartendeko Tischdekoration Inspiration Tipp Idee Serviettentechnik Design nachhaltiger Kleber KREUL") ### Decoupage with paper napkin designs: here’s how First, apply a thin layer of KREUL Art Potch Nature to the object you want to decorate. Suitable are surfaces made of wood, card, canvas, cork, ceramic, terracotta, stone, concrete, glass, metal and plastic. In our example photos, we have used KREUL Art Potch Nature on a log slice and empty tin cans. We gave the cans a base coat of KREUL Nature paint first for a very harmonious look. After all, the colours in he KREUL Nature line are inspired by the beauty of nature. After you have applied KREUL Art Potch Nature, lay the printed layer of the paper napkin onto the glued area and carefully press it down. Once you have smoothed out any folds or wrinkles, paint over the motif again with the sustainable paper napkin glue. This protects the design to ensure its durability on the object. All finished! ### Material [KREUL Art Potch Nature](https://www.c-kreul.de/en/products/art-nr/17599/) [KREUL Nature](https://www.c-kreul.de/en/products/colors/crafters/decorative-and-special-effect-paints/kreul-nature/) - [\#Verantwortung](https://farben-blog.c-kreul.de/en/farben-blog/blog/diy-ideas-for-crafters/page?tx_news_pi1%5BoverwriteDemand%5D%5Btags%5D=295&cHash=749e719ab3efee8ceb8b82c4dc4e58fc) - [\#Basteln](https://farben-blog.c-kreul.de/en/farben-blog/blog/diy-ideas-for-crafters/page?tx_news_pi1%5BoverwriteDemand%5D%5Btags%5D=2&cHash=d8287431ff887cf9cf9a3fb0c007436a) - [\#Upcycling](https://farben-blog.c-kreul.de/en/farben-blog/blog/diy-ideas-for-crafters/page?tx_news_pi1%5BoverwriteDemand%5D%5Btags%5D=88&cHash=154052e929977925a6b44b9964426cb4) - [\#Nachhaltigkeit](https://farben-blog.c-kreul.de/en/farben-blog/blog/diy-ideas-for-crafters/page?tx_news_pi1%5BoverwriteDemand%5D%5Btags%5D=243&cHash=593d5965e4e7383883b93e4231231349) - [\#Nature](https://farben-blog.c-kreul.de/en/farben-blog/blog/diy-ideas-for-crafters/page?tx_news_pi1%5BoverwriteDemand%5D%5Btags%5D=293&cHash=b4e6dfddb33533c4521ff4445b942796) - [\#Potchen](https://farben-blog.c-kreul.de/en/farben-blog/blog/diy-ideas-for-crafters/page?tx_news_pi1%5BoverwriteDemand%5D%5Btags%5D=40&cHash=e63e06ee12c81ed9ce513e8965dc952c) - [ Previous Entry: Making your own "Schultüte" in minimalist style ](https://farben-blog.c-kreul.de/en/farben-blog/blog/diy-ideas-for-crafters/2024/6/25/making-your-own-school-cone-in-minimalist-style) - [ Next Entry: Street art in chalk – our play idea for the holidays ](https://farben-blog.c-kreul.de/en/farben-blog/blog/playing-ideas-for-kids/2024/7/4/street-art-in-chalk-our-play-idea-for-the-holidays) - [Drucken](#print) - [Nach oben](#top) Cookie consent ================ On this website, we use cookies and similar functions to process personal data.
