PVA projects

Polyvinyl Acetate (PVA) is a rubbery synthetic polymer. It was discovered in Germany by Dr. Fritz Klatte in 1912. PVA is widely used in bookbinding and book arts due to its flexibility and because it is non-acidic, unlike many other polymers. It is recommended for use in papier-mache projects as well as some of these great ideas.

Paper Pad

Left over paper? Make a paper pad! Cut paper scraps to the same size. Use binder clips to hold the papers firmly. Add a piece of bookboard beneath the clips so they do not indent the paper. Brush PVA along one edge of the paper. Allow to dry for 2-3 hours.

PVA Book

Try your hand at book binding! There are few things more satisfying than making a book with your very own hands. Paper Source has many Do-It-Yourself kits that take the mystery out of the book binding process. And if you would like hands on help, consider taking a Paper Source workshop at your local Paper Source store location!

PVA Bucket

Decoupage & Collage! PVA can be used to adhere paper to an object and it can also be used as a varnish to seal paper. PVA dries clear and it can be sanded smooth with sandpaper or steel wool to achieve a matte look. To make this Halloween treat basket we took a metal flower planter, marked the shape on our Halloween witches paper and trimmed it down, then we used a glue brush to apply the PVA to the planter and placed the paper on it.
