27:20 Best tip I learned YEARS ago from a long gone (and sadly I forgot who) blog is to store your glue sticks in the freezer and take them out as you need them. It cuts WAY down on those glue guns strings we all love so much, lol! Ive even tested it on OOOLLLDD glue sticks I got at the thrift shop that in a big bag of random stuff, lol, and it worked far better than expected bc if you ever used old glue sticks before you know how gooey and stringy they get, yuck, lol! But it helped even with those old yellowed sticks that I ended up using for embellishments as I hate wasting my good glue sticks for designs or even in silicone molds! Saving the old ones from thrift are PERFECT for that, esp if you throw them in the freezer. I put all my glue sticks in the freezer, glitter sticks, color sticks, even industrial and fabric sticks all go into the freezer! It doesnt affect the glue performance at all either and you go right from freezer to gluegun with no problem even on a low setting! Hope this helps! ANd if I shared this here before, my apologies for the re-post!

Everything is adorable, but I absolutely love the little dress. One year my mom made Easter dresses for me and my sister. We are 13 months apart and even though I'm the oldest, I was also the smallest. People were always asking if we were twins and my mom always dressed us alike. This particular year she made us dresses that looked like it came right out of "Little House on the Prairie". We had the pinafore, bonnet and the pretty slip. 😂 This was back in the 70's and I think I was probably 9 years old. 😂

Love the ornaments. Last year I made the stars but I didn’t use hot glue. After I folded the triangles, I trimmed the open sides with pinking shears like you did. And then I topstitched those same sides with my sewing machine. After putting the three pieces together into the star shape, I took a button and sewed it on in the centre, connecting all three pieces. I followed my sewing machine’s manual and I was able to sew the buttons on using my sewing machine! Game changer, I’m not a fan of hand sewing, lol. I then tacked on a ribbon hanger at the top with my sewing machine. 😘
