Just laminating it wouldn’t work because you’d have to have everything already sticking to it in the first place, otherwise it would just mess up. I would just recommend any kind of glue stick. It doesn’t really matter the company. But if you get a glue stick instead of a bottle it will be less messy, stay better, and also the glue will be more evenly spread everything will lie flat on the wall.
Rubber Cement is good for collages. it sticks on clear, and if u make a mistake u could peel it off easily.
rubber cement is toxic and isn’t good to inhale.
glue sticks don’t stick that well… if you’re making something that’s not meant to be permanent I would use a glue stick.
Any kind of glue will work though. I would use a PVA glue. Use a brush to paint it on the back of what you’re sticking so it goes on evenly. Elmer’s glue will work too…just make sure you have an even, thin layer on the back of what you’re sticking.
well the best glue ever made is from horses. But if you love them don’t use it, try gorilla glue. Or go the laminate way or you can go with a coating method. Most stores will carry a protect-ant spray that you can spray over your work and it more less lays a clear coat over everything sealing it from the outside in, its your choice.
it depends on the surface you are gluing the collage pieces too and the thickness of the pieces. I usually tack them down with glue stick or a thin coat of Elmer’s glue thinned with some water, very thin to avoid bubbling and rippling. Then once everything is is place, I glaze it all down with Modgepodge or gel medium.
