Celebrate Craft Month with Klutz!

by the editors at Klutz

It’s our favorite time of year at Klutz – National Craft Month! We’re celebrating with a fun, spring-themed DIY using materials and tips from the Klutz Pop Collage kit and a handy ceramic pot—but you can customize anything you want with these ideas and a little POP! 

First, assemble all your materials—you’ll need a foam brush, custom glaze, patterned papers and glitter, all included in the Pop Collage kit. It helps to start tearing or cutting the paper that you are going to use so it’s ready to go when you start gluing.

Next, begin by painting a thin layer of glue on the surface of the object you are going to collage. Then layer the paper along the surface of the object so it adheres to the glaze. You can even add glitter if you’d like.

 

Once you have covered as much of the surface as you want, paint a top layer of custom glaze to seal in your design. Let your creation dry et voila! Your very own personalized pen holder, craft container—or whatever YOU choose!

Happy craft month from Klutz! For more Pop Collage in action, check out this video!
