Picture and idea credit to: Christy, of Mrs. Humpal's Art Room blog:
Introducing.... THE GLUE SPONGE! -- This has revolutionized collage in my classes - LOVE IT!! |
Wish I could take credit for this great idea for your next cut and paste project!
Cut a new
sponge to fit a
plastic container (use two sponges if you only have thin sponges), and pour a bottle of
school/white glue all over it.
It can take quite a bit of glue to load it up, but once the sponge is saturated with glue, it will last a long time!
Now kids can just tap their shapes and cut-outs on the top of the sponge for a thin, even coat of glue - no more puddles!
I was concerned about the sponge getting icky, but she says she still has the one she made well over a year ago, and the sponge is still intact AND the glue isn't stinky.
To maintain: Add a few spritzes of water before closing it up for the day, and flip the sponge over every so often.

About Catherine: I have been writing frugal tips since 1982, when I was a young divorced mom of two - for my baby product company, Born to Love. I am now mom to three sons, who are all grown up - and re-married to a wonderful man. We have rescued two little dogs, Denny and Dexter - and Bella, the cat.
