Can I use regular glue instead of multi-purpose glue?

Keep Screen Awake Prevent your screen from going dark

Prepare your workspace: Lay down some newspaper or a drop cloth to protect your table from glue and spray. Ensure you are in a well-ventilated area due to the acrylic spray.
Apply glue: Using a paintbrush, apply a thin layer of multi-purpose glue to one side of the starfish.
Add crystals: While the glue is still wet, sprinkle craft crystals or glitter over the glue-covered areas.
Allow drying time: Let the starfish dry for at least 15-30 minutes, depending on the glue used.
Seal with acrylic spray: Once the glue is dry, apply a light coat of clear acrylic spray over the starfish.
Final dry: Let the spray dry completely before handling your new decor.

Consider using a decorative plate or tiered stand to display your finished starfish creatively.
