Is this Paperclay suitable for making child's handprint keepsake ornaments? Specifically, will it shrink much while drying?

I just read the other answers in this page. I find this paperclay to be very pliable compared to most others,DAS was much stiffer and smelled of gasoline, this has little to no odor and is extremely workable. I believe the under 3 warning is for in case they eat it and since its fibrous paper and clay the would have to label it as such.

It will work but since damp crepe paper bleeds it's color out you might have an issue with that. I think this is better suited to fabric, yarn and thread. However if you dilute it with water and work quickly the swirling colors might be a pretty cool effect. If you are trying to paint crepe paper onto glass or some other material I think modge podge or a shellac of some kind might be a better bet.

Yes, stamping will work. I stenciled it to make wrapping paper, and it came out great!

I have used mine to heat shrink. It is a little touchy, due to the high heat level, but it can work. I also have a heat gun I use for this.

Not sure, as I have no experience with shrink wrap. We used it for themed gift baskets, for the raffle at my church.

I think it would be, maybe give them a paper plate to practice on first, so they can get the feel of the flow of the glue. If they squeeze the blub that makes the glue come out too hard it will glob up or I guess puddle would be a better term. It's like writing with a ballpoint pen. I usually squeeze the blub, write on a plate or piece of paper for a letter or two and then continue writing on my protect. Also, you don't need much of the glue on the object for fine grain glitter to stick. The glue comes out blue then dries clear so you know exactly where you wrote. I did almost 100 Christmas cards in less than an hour. How this helped!

I would say a glue stick meant for that task would be better, since it's spreadable and restick-able. While this does dry clear, I think it would be difficult to apply to a photo evenly & set on paper to stick. You'd probably go through a lot of it too, and send up with it all over your hands! This is def best for a smaller fix-up job involving broken plastic pieces or something like that. Would not use for pic/paper craft projects.

The paper works best with Scotch Satin finish giftwrap tape (purple) and hold well. It does not hold well with the Scotch Matte Finish Magic tape (Green). This paper is also smoother than the average craft paper so it is not as fibery and allows certain tapes to stick better. Hopefully this help, Happy Holidays!

No shrinkage at all. I stapled Coco Liner to wooden flower boxes on deck in northeast, ice, snow, 100 degrees summer and liner holds up great. ...keeps roots moist throughout heat waves. Gerry (Boston area)

I use this for mosaics and have never had a problem. I use a big bottle to refill a small bottle (easier to work with) and neither one has dried up.

I don't think so. It won't be sticky like tape, but if you were to set it on a sweater it might pick up a fiber or two. As long as the white end is obviously softer than the pink end then your stamper should be just fine.

Virginia, I dried it in the dryer only until it was slightly damp, then let it hang until completely dry. I noticed very little, if any, shrinkage. It seemed to have a bit of a twist but ithat didn't affect the usability. It's a delightful fabric to work and produced exactly what I was hoping for. I've bought it multiple times. If you have a stretch stitch (straight or otherwise), I highly recommend using it.

We did the hand prints right away. I think cement dries quite quickly so actually the sooner you make any marks (whether handprints, letters, or other designs) the better. It seems the longer we waited and the more we "fussed" with the cement the more bumpy the end result was, rather than smooth. Hope that helps! This was a lot of fun and all the people we gave them to loved them and have them outside in their gardens! :)

I'm not sure - I've never made paper beads before. However, I believe if Mod Podge works for it this will as well. This is my 'go to' product for all things decoupage, even if you only use it as a finish coat. It leaves a shiny and strong finish, and dries very clear. I love the stuff!

You can see thought the paper, soaybe not great for gift wrapping. But if you have kids it's great for taping on the walls and painting/coloring. Or for covering tables.

I think it would work great for that purpose. It is bright white and same color and texture on both sides. It's thicker than printer paper but easy to fold. I bought to wrap gifts with it folded around them nicely but ended up being able to see through if boxes were colored so that gives you idea of how thick it is. :) hope this helps

I don't see why not as long as the paper is the thicker brown wrapping paper and you don't put it on to heavy( don't saturate ) and then let it dry real good before using it. I can't say that I've done but why not,I would just try it on a small piece to see for sure
