Use Elmer's glue craft bond when creating scrapbooks. Extra strength Craft Bond glue sticks can be used to hold borders, ribbon, scrap booking paper, accessories and photos to the pages of your scrapbook. Apply Elmer's glue to the outside edges of the item you are gluing and press it firmly onto the paper. The glue will form a strong bond and hold the object in place in the scrap book.
Use a paper mache technique with Elmer's glue to create a variety of different crafts. Form a runny paste by mixing 1/4 cup Elmer's glue with a small amount of water. The paste holds the newspaper strips and paper squares onto a balloon. Dip newspaper strips into the glue solution and cover the balloon entirely. Once the balloon has dried, usually 24 hours later, make another bath of the Elmer's glue and water mixture. Use a paintbrush to apply the mixture to various colors of tissue paper. Apply the tissue paper to the balloon. Once the balloon is dry, you can use it to create a beehive, critters, plants or other various round items.

Once the entire jar is covered with tissue paper, apply another layer of glue over the top.
