TruGrip CR-8 Orb Adhesive Review

Dussehra holidays are going on and my daughter was looking forward to them like every year. This is also my favourite time of the year as I have lots of childhood memories attached to this time. I grew up in a place where we celebrated Navratri/ Garba nights, Durga Puja and Dussehra and for kids it was the most fun time ever.

I too take my daughter to Dussehra, Durga Puja pandals and Dandiya nights, so she understands the significance of these festivals and makes memories. But this year is going to be different. We spent the holidays mostly indoors and it is definitely not easy for an 8 years old. So, I will try and make it as festive as possible and celebrate Dussehra at home itself.

We are going to make lots of Dussehra and Durga Puja crafts. We made our own Ravan with stuff lying around the house and I am going to share the same with you today. 

DIY Ravan :Dussehra Diwali crafts

Before we start, I also want to introduce you to a new product that I came to know of recently and used it in these crafts.

TruGrip CR-8 Orb Adhesive

It is the TruGrip CR-8 Orb Adhesive from Asian Paints. It is a white glue from the house of Asian Paints and both of us loved the product.

  • We loved the shape of the orbs and how colourful the packaging is.
  • The best feature is how easy it is to grip this glue for young kids. 
  • It is non-toxic, so we can safely let kids use this without any worry.
  • The narrow nozzle allows precise application.

Things you need to make your own Ravan

  1. Empty kitchen tissue paper roll
  2. Bright coloured papers
  3. White paper
  4. Yellow card paper
  5. Golden paper/ Glitter paper to make crown and embellishments 
  6. TruGrip CR-8 Orb Adhesive
  7. scissors, pencil, sketch pens
  8. Thick cardboard to make the Ravan stand

Process and steps to make the craft and pictures with the glue
