Very beautiful. Thank you for sharing. :)
I guess one CAN mend a broken heart!
Good job!
you can also use carnation sweet condensed caned milk
works better than glue
I recently accidentally broke a little bowl that I loved. I was going to use regular glue, but then I remembered this tutorial about repairing this using kintsugi, which is a beautiful Japanese concept about how things that were broken and brought back together again are even stronger than before, much like the human heart.
Please share your repaired bowl when you get it done. I'm sure all our community would love to see it.
I want to do this project. I searched on Amazon for "tube 527 multi use glue" and they want over $22 for one tube. This is way too expensive for me. What can I use for the glue for this project that will cost me $10 or less? Thanks so much!
I would try using the brand name, which is Beacon. I see a lot of glue for much cheaper on Amazon and also on the manufacturers site:
Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
Also, how do I clamp the broken pieces together so they can dry properly. I am doing this craft on a small bowl that broke into 2 large pieces and one small piece. Thanks again!
May I use this image on the cover of a book I'm writing?
