Tips &
Techniques Aleene's Original Tacky Glue can be used on non-washable fabrics. If you
are working with a light or delicate fabric and the glue soaks through, apply glue
to the fabric and let it set for five minutes before attaching it to the project.
Wait another five minutes before firmly pressing it in
place. Use Original Tacky Glue
to achieve a ceramic finish when creating bread dough modeling
projects. A basic bread dough
formula is one slice of bread to one tablespoon of Aleene's Original Tacky Glue.
- Remove all of the
crusts from the number of slices you'll need for your project and tear into small
pieces.
- Put the bread in a
plastic bag and pour the appropriate number of tablespoons of glue into the bag (1
piece bread to 1 tablespoon glue).
- Knead the dough for 10 minutes or until it becomes smooth and workable.
At first it will be sticky, but keep kneading.
- Due to differences in climate
and moisture in the area, you may need to adjust the ratio of bread to glue. If
after 10 minutes the mixture is still too sticky, add more small pieces of bread. If
it is too dry or stiff add a few more drops of glue.
- You can color the dough by
adding a few drops of food coloring to the dough. Only add color to the amount of
dough you'll need in that color.
- Roll the dough out on a smooth and clean surface as you would with
cookie dough. Dust with flour if necessary. Use your fingers or cookies cutters to
mold and cut shapes.
- Small
projects will take hours to dry, while larger ones could take days.
- You can store the dough in a
sealed plastic bag in the refrigerator for several months.
