 Hi guys, how are you? Yes, we're here with another homemade embellishment video This isn't a new idea. This has been around for a while hot glue embellishments in this case I did hot glue embellishments with colored hot glue so I do have a regular size large very old hot glue gun and You know most of the bag of like 500 glue sticks that I bought back in the 1990s and yeah I didn't necessarily want to use either of those for this I really didn't want to have to be bothered doing too much coloring of said glue after I made the embellishments and I'll show you the couple different ways. I did these So I bought one of these inexpensive, you know cheapo hot glue guns This is a high temp one and some colored glue sticks. You can see the remains of the blue one that's still in there to use for this project Turned out so much better than I thought it was going to to be honest So what I did was I heated up the hot glue gun and of course started putting glue sticks in it I had a sort of a brights pack that had bright colors in it plus black and white and then I had a sparkle pack The hot glue itself. I got it at Hobby Lobby. It was a little bit expensive I do know they sell colored hot glue Periodically at the dollar store that will be the next place. I get it because Hobby Lobby is a little pricey That by the same token, I thought the glue gun was a pretty good deal I do know sometimes they have these at Dollar Tree too, but this was only four bucks So I was okay with spending that So the first thing I did of course was just do some swirly blobby shapes with the hot glue These are going to be great. In fact, I'm going to use some of these today on the tags and paper clips I'm going to make today. I Love these and they I have different colors and then I thought as I was doing it. I wonder if you had One of my wax seals handy and you put just a blob of hot glue and then really quickly while it was hot push this into it What would happen? well It worked just great now I will say I tried this on the metal cookie sheet without the Teflon insert That worked But it was hard to get it off the cookie sheet it got came off But it was hard to get off so I would recommend taking one of your old craft I never throw these craft mats away like very rarely when the one on the table gets sort of old and past it I put a new one on the table But I save the old one and cut it up to line my cookie sheets. It works like a charm So I got one of my small ones to fill the cookie sheet And I put it in here and then I put another blob of hot glue put it down and while that was wet I'm sorry hot. I pushed the wax seal into it and let it dry. I just left it standing there And went and did other stuff when it was done the whole thing comes off the Teflon sheet and then you just peel it off the wax seal it came off like a charm now It's going to be really hard to see the design on here, but this is my b Seal and what you could do just like with some of the other stuff Is after you make it take a little bit of something like this rubbing buff And just very lightly And it'll make the design stand out and then you can use that on one of your embellishments for a tag up Paperclip I almost said bookmark. Yeah bookmark. You could do that An artist trade trading card artist trading coin a journal page just about almost anything They'd be super cute. I also did these sort of swirly blobby shapes that could be used for the same thing And these are great And I'll show you when you're storing them if you do a lot of them You do want to store them between wax paper because they will sort of try to stick to each other Um And then put the wax paper sheets between two pieces of chipboard Which is what I have here and then it's just held together with rubber bands And um, I made a bunch of round Scribbly shapes. I did do this sort of just wax I'm wax. Holy cow glue glue strings And I think this would also be interesting you could pull it apart And use it you could spread it out like this maybe use it over a book spine or something You can also just cut a hunk off it off. So that's going to be fun and it has a bunch of different colors in it Um, let me go. There we go And you can just you know make I ended up making a whole bunch of stuff It was a lot of fun. I think they're going to be fun to use And I can't wait to see um what I can create with them Now if you want to see what I do with these or some of the other homemade embellishments I've been doing and you're not waiting wanting to wait for a vlog video or something else on youtube Follow me on instagram or follow me on twitter or over in facebook one of the facebook groups Because I share what I make every day over in all of those places so I want you all to go out and experiment making homemade embellishments If you do something with hot glue, I want to see it Please share that would be great Or if you have some ideas leave something in the comments below questions comments concerns anything like that If you want to follow me on one of those social media sites Or you want to support the free content here on facebook.
