This paste recipe is good for paper projects and it will last for a long time if you keep it covered and in the refrigerator.

Make this glue and apply it to the back of magazine pictures, photo copies, or other pictures; and then let it dry. When you are ready to use the picture, simply lick (or moisten with a dab of water) and stick! This recipe gives you enough glue for dozens of home-made stickers/stamps.

This no-cook paper mache paste recipe is a good one to make with kids because it is easy to make and does not require heat.

This paper mache paste dries to a very hard finish to make your finished projects more durable.

Make up a batch of this plain, white glue to have on hand whenever you need it.
