Hot Melt Glue Gun - Top Tip #4 - Transfer Foils

Using the Stix2 Hot Melt Glue Gun with any of the Transfer Foils makes great pearls or brads to add to any homemade project. 

For this technique you need to wait until the Hot Melt Glue has cooled off. You will know it has done this because it will turn a cloudy colour. Using your Foil (Dull side down) press hard onto the glue and rub. You will need to apply some pressure on this to make sure the transfer takes effect. 

The Foil will leave the shiny print on the glue for your project. 

This also works with the PVA Glue, but again wait for it to dry.

Hot Melt Glue Gun - Top Tip #3 - Seed Beads and Glitter

Using the Hot Melt Glue Gun to make embellishments and the Seed Bead and Glitter Tri-Packs are both wonderful to look at and easy to do. For this we suggest you use a Messy Tray by Woodware. 

The best way to do this is to first create your blob of Glue and while this is still hot, pour the Glitter, Micro Beads or Large Beads directly on top. Don't worry about over spill, this is what the messy tray is for. 

*For the Large Beads sometimes it works best to push them a little into the Glue but please be careful as to NOT burn your fingers*

Allow some time for the glue to dry and lift your finished product out!

This also works great with the Clear Plastic Beads.
