BerryCrafty Bonet haha glad i'm not the only one 😂😂🤷🏻‍♀️

I got that glue gun because it had the fine tip but it just oozes SO MUCH GLUE! Drives me nuts! Love everything you do ☺️💕

[@Craftpurge]

Ohhhh I seriously love everything you make. Love the finished look! And I'm going to try wrapping goodies like that, very pretty.

[@Craftpurge]

Aww thanks so much, yes definitely try and make some🤗💕

[@lisawalters5482]

You are amazing. These are adorable. Good job. And now I realize that’s also why my stuff takes so long...have to make everything each time. And the stringy-ness may be the glue you are buying. Not the gun.

[@Craftpurge]

Lisa Walters yep have to start over each time and make for each swap😂🤦🏻‍♀️ ohh i never thought of that, i'll try a diff glue stick! Tfs💕

[@mydyisgod]

Lisa Walters, do you know of a particular brand of glue stick that is better for crafting. I too hate the ‘stringy’ lines.

[@nicolette2803]

Cute flags! Love the packaging. That trim is beautiful!!!

[@tammy8017]

Sorry i'm making embellishments and came across your video, looked at your channel and subscribed. But anyway I take my brads from the dollar tree and poke them through foam board in rows then take all my gems, charms and other things and glue them on top of the brad to make my own. Thrifty DIY. TFS your videos. Have a great day :)

[@Craftpurge]

oo great tip!tfs :)

[@susansheartstrings]

Your paperclips are so pretty! Love how you packaged them up too. Really like the glue gun your using with the fine tip. I need that. Thank you for making this video! Happy Weekend!

[@Craftpurge]

Susan Klein thanks Susan! Have a great weekend as well🤗hugs

[@504PrettyThings]

Super cute! Never would have thought to cut the backs off of brads

[@Craftpurge]

504 PrettyThings anytime i see brads I see cabochon instead 😂🙌🏻

[@pattyguggenmos4531]

I just found you! Love your go for it attitude and your hyena pack creating. Such cute tags and packaging. I wondered where everyone got those clear bags. Being a rancher from the sandhills of Ne., I feel obligated to tell you they make a tool to cut off those pesky BRAD backs. They are called side cutters and they would be in jewelry tools at Hobby Lobby.

[@Craftpurge]

🙈🤣 and thank you i'll definitely have to pick one up since i just use scissors right now😂😂

[@MsCurliegirlie]

So cute!☺️💕

[@MissEddieBlueKawaiiKrafts]

[@genamomma]

Really nice tutorials with your embellishments series! Thank you for sharing! 💖

[@dinahsoar6982]

Love your paperclips. I do the same, using the ticks and not fooling with the fractional part. But if you count all the ticks in a single inch, that will tell you what the increments, i.e. the ticks, are. They are generally multiples of 4: 16ths, 8ths, 4ths and expressed accordingly. If there are 16 ticks, each tick is 1/16, and so on. So three ticks would be 3/16. Eight ticks would be 8/16 , which as a fraction, can be reduced and is essentially 1/2. It's basic match that used to be taught in elementary school.I struggled w/ fractions and if my mother had not helped me, I'd have never wrapped my brain around it in the classroom.

[@Craftpurge]

Dinahsoar 🙌🏻🙌🏻yes ive noticed all my rules have different amount of ticks i was like forgetttt it ahhaha now i know😘

[@charlybeany]

These are beautiful you are so talented .. im binge watching your videos 😀 thanks for sharing x

[@robinjamriska6261]

My 1st two scrapbooks I did with very few supplies no punches or dies scissors and paper from Staples not even scrapbook paper I did them back in 1999

[@bournonville13]

Go for good quality glue sticky.. makes less spiderweb 😊

[@Paperhorse3]

Omg the scissors!! I have those and that how i started I would crop my photos with them lmao omg !!! I would get mine from LTD Magazine lol 😂 janet

[@Craftpurge]

hahah i would cut my photos too and i thought that was sooooo fancy hahaha!

[@MyLovelyDesigns]

They’re so pretty!! 😍💗

[@Craftpurge]

My Lovely Designs thanks girl😘

[@niecytell9429]

Thank you so much for sharing this is a very cute idea and you just talked it off with great packaging but I'll give you a tap if you don't mind try putting your glue sticks in the freezer just a little bit and then put him in your glue gun it limits the spider webs because when you put him in the freezer it does something to the glue that won't cause the spider webs try it and let me know how it works out for you

[@Craftpurge]

DENISE Tell ohhh myyy thank you for sharing! Def going to try that!! So over these spider webs!!😂😂💀😭

[@aneciak4479]

This is very nice ;)

[@Craftpurge]

Aneciak thank you💕💕

[@daniellecruz2121]

Sooooo pretty! Where did you get that pink trim from?! 😍

[@Craftpurge]

Danielle Cruz hobby lobby sells it🤗 and like 6-7 diff colors💕 and on sale this week😘

[@daniellecruz2121]

I’m getting in my car now! Lol 😂

[@cynthiacrea1996]

Thank you for this cuty tutorial

[@karenanderson5239]

Super cute! Tfs

[@tanyaperrin1218]

Cute tutorial! Did you get the gold leafy bone from at hobby lobby?

[@Craftpurge]

Tanya Perrin yes got the gold trim from hobby lobby🤗

[@dinahsoar6982]

My Surebonderglue gun leaks like swiss cheese and the glue strings are horrendous. I've stopped using it b/c it would melt/leak a whole glue stick in 30 mins. And it did that from day 1. I should have returned it.Now I'm stuck with it and it's worthless to me.

[@Craftpurge]

Dinahsoar oh man!! My previous glue gun nevvvverrr leaked a single drip but my baby broke it!! And now i cant find it in stores😭

[@dinahsoar6982]

I finally found a detail glue gun that does not leak and it has no strings. AND it's a Surebonder! I thought 'are you crazy" when I put it in my cart, but I decided I'd bring it back if it was a dud like by other SB. It was only $11.99; I got it at Hobby Lobby; it is blue with lime green. It is high temp and the package say "Surebonder Specialty" and also says "DETAIL, for the perfectionist. It has a detail tip and shows on the pkg that it can lay down safely. It's a mini too, and it has an on/off switch with a light indicating it's on. I've used it for at least a month now and no leaks or strings. I'm really glad I took a chance on it. Wanted to let you know b/c it took me a long time to find a detail glue gun that works so well and for not a lot of money. The only number I could find on it is 'reorder number #H- 195F". States that it bonds: wood, metal, plastic, fabric, leather, ceramic, etc"

[@Craftpurge]

Dinahsoar perfect i'll have to check it out! Did u find it in the glue section or by the fake flowers section?💕

[@dinahsoar6982]

Hi. I'm pretty sure it was in the section with the glue guns. My memory is horrible; but I have the receipt with the packing which I kept, and it was definitely purchased at my local Hobby Lobby. I tried to get you a pic from the Hobby Lobby website because I noticed there are several Surebonder Glue Guns that are blue with lime green. But my browser is telling me the connection is not secure. However, I did find a pic of it here so you can see it in the package: www.createforless.com/Surebonder-Glue-Gun-Mini-High-Temp-Detail-20-watt/pid244798.aspx. The pic is identical to the pkg and the gun I bought that is so perfect. I oon't know anything about that website/business; it's the first one I found that matched my gun identically. Also, while I'm thinking about it, I tested it with the Surebonder Glue sticks initially; it worked perfect. After a week or so, I used another brand of glue stick in it and I got the same wonderful results. (I get them at Michaels and/or Walmart, depending on need and if I have a coupon. The Surebonder Glue sticks are pricier than the other brands and I go through a lot of glue. LOL, a LOT less now that I'm not using a gun that constantly streams glue.) Hope you can find it. I am so happy with mine.
