Great idea. Creative thinking tfs, i love your work, where did you get a fine tipped glue gun?

[vmtee]

this is awesome!! I love it! I did this using pencil and glue *directly* on the project and this would be SO SO SO much easier!! :) (time saving too.. LOL)

[Luvkitty33]

Thank you for sharing this great idea!!! Where did you find the pink mat you're working on?

[nurseretiree]

hi.awesome idea.i tried it on wax paper but was unable to remove them.i wasn't using the fine tip glue gun.will have to get the mat.thanks for your wonderful ideas.keep them coming.

[dragonetta1]

I find that I hoard those too...lol! This is definately a great idea! I'll have to try this out my self. Thanks for the great idea.

[dadamahe]

Great idea!!! THANKS for sharing!!

[bearynice2u]

Most of the store bought blings have to be glued down anyway or they let go from projects. I have received several swaps where I had to glue the bling back on because it fell off during shipping. Will have to try your homemade bling to see if it stays on without glueing. Thanks

[PinkAndBluePaper]

This is such a wonderful idea! I will being trying this later today. TFS!
