Hot Glue & Gold Leaf Beads

[@olivewoo522]

Hey Mark! I started a small group at my church where ladies can come to make art. Some don't have the space at their apartments so the church has larger tables and more room. It's not a teaching class, but a safe place where we can gather and work on whatever we bring. 💜

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

This is wonderful Olive! Community is so important!

[@TexasMonica]

I wish it was near me because I would love that 🙂

[@bonniemorris1535]

Now this is a project I can get behind, the hot glue give these beads a one of a kind texture, and beauty, xo

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

It's pretty easy and lots of fun results!

[@NickSpirov]

[@ElainePetrakisMidnightCrafter]

Do you have to coat them with clear so the gold doesn't scratch off?

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

You certainly can coat them but the glue does a pretty good job of keeping on the gilding.

[@anna_makhaeva]

have a great weekend.

[@pegeen6634]

Oh I can do that Mark‼️ I love it when your channel pops up for me❣️ Do I really need gliding liquid? 🕊️💜🧜🏼‍♀️

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Hi Pegeen, I think the gilding glue is a good thing actually. Some hot glues have a bit of tack to them before they completely set so if you can dry off your bead with a lint free cloth you may be able to use the leaf without the gilding glue...It's a toss up. You can also use Elmers if you wait a bit until it's almost dry but still a bit tacky. Hope that helps! *Make sure to take a peek at my Patreon! www.Patreon.com/MarkMontano

[@Lily_of_the_Forest]

This is very cool!

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Glad you like them...Love me some hot glue crafts!

[@margaritaapicella2537]

Can they be worn outside on a hot day? Are they only decorative?

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Hot glue melts at 240 degrees so if it's that hot outside you might want to stay inside. :) *Take a peek my Patreon for videos I don't share anywhere else. Lots of jewelry & upcycling, too! www.patreon.com/MarkMontano
