Fun ideas. Just a hint.....fuse with slow even pressure, not hard and let it sit a second before you lift if off your tile or paper. You need to let the plastic cool a bit to adhere the top with the bottom. COOLING is the secret not pressure. The heat does all the work but you need to let it cool to set.....have fun!
I'd use a once used dryer sheet and rub inside plastic before fusing. Reducing the static. Thanks for sharing and being brave to put yourself out there on video tutorial. It's harder than it looks.
I can't wait until my fuse arrives! I like glitter in my pocket shakers, just not so much. Love the addition of the liquid pearls for a great finished edge. TFS great process share! Hugs, Kristina
I just got my fuse...thank you for this, I wanted a real tutorial and this is just great. very helpful and makes me feel better to use it. cheers from Trinidad....
Thanks for the video with the "not to do's" included. I always learn more by mistakes and appreciate that you left that in. I will not be using glitter unless it is blacker green for a halloween monster and then nothing else but glitter. Monsters should be yucky!
Thank you! I like that you just went for it and we could see the whole process, good and bad. :) Just what I needed to see the fuse tool in action with the cutting tip. Great job!
I loved this video! You explain very well! Thank you for sharing your time and experience! The only observation that I have is that if you can put the materiais in a list below the videos: I'm in another country and sometimes I need that to try to found then or change something...
I enjoy these videos! It feels like I was right there with you in your studio. Thanks for sharing what works and what doesn't when making these shakers with the fuse.
So very helpful, I appreciated the what not to use in the shakers, Thank you for posting this, I just got my fuse tool and I am excited to try new projects with it!
What did you put around the outside of the heart? Sorry If I missed that in the video. I also went through the first page of comments and didn't see that anyone else asked that question. I love how easy you make this look. I recently purchased this tool and now have some help. Thank you so much.
I worked at Michaels for 3 years, and people would ask where the fuse tools were, and I would show them, but had no idea what it actually did! lol now I have one and hate that I didn't get it sooner! Lol this is a great idea 💕
Really like that technique i have a fuse tool yey its a must try for sure!! I really would like to see how you apply them to your projects ,this is were I’m stumped,no clue for what to do with them after...thank you for tutorial
Excellent tutorial! It was nice to learn along with you what to do if it doesn't fuse in certain areas. Looking forward to more vids/tuts from you. TFS.
This was a Very Cool video!! Full of FAB tips and ideas........I just ordered the WRMK Fuse With Ulimate Accessory Bundle through HSN today (it is the Today's Special). It is a bundle full of Yumminess!! And, I was excited when I ordered it, but now I'm CrAZY excited and cannot wait to play with it. Thank you so much for sharing with us and inspiring us!! Taylor:)
Just a tip, You can make a mini embossing buddy with a nylon sock, corn starch and a rubber band & then glue it to the end of a BBB skewer or Popsicle stick that you can use to swab the inside of the pouch before filling with sequins/glitter etc to reduce static & make your filler shake more freely
Hi. Enjoyed watching your video. I like the fact that you don't mind trying out ideas while on video. It gives a kind of sense as though you are in the room w/ you, working side by side. Cute idea. Thanks for taking the time. Your video has inspired me to get busy and try out some of your ideas since I just received my Fuse in the mail. Thanks again. Hugs!
This was a GREAT video with tons of really good ideas and help. I wonder if when you made the circle....before you filled it and sealed it if you made a smile face with the tool? In other words when you fill it those places would not fill up as they would be sealed? I have saved this to my favs....so I can come back and watch again when I find my cookie cutters. Hugs Jonnie
Super helpful tip using paper underneath. I was thinking that I'll use the ruler if I have to go back over any spots missed. Love the idea of using cookie cutters! TFS
I found your video through a shoutout from Tracy XO. I love these! Since you're using paper below, it seems like you could have patterns on the paper and fuse any shape you want. I love that little triangular thang you used to fill them! Must be a bead tool. I think that smaller ones would look cool at the top of the big colored paper clips to use in planners. You could back them with felt. Really inspiring video--thank you!!
Hi, cool ideas. I made a pouch with baby powder from the Dollar Tree 's . It has corn starch, so it really works very well. And another is the dryer sheets! They help with the clothes to get off static. So they help with paper also, plastic or whatever you use to do your sequence and your glitter. Hope it help to make your crafting better. Thanks and God Bless!
Mine came with 4 tips and two of those fancy rulers -,I agree, if you can't "like' don't dislike, I believe it's the same premise as "if you don't have something nice to say...... You could use that triangle bead tray as well as metal dies for shapes. I haven't used mine yet.
Hi Sara, I know this video is old so you may have figured it out already or maybe someone else mentioned it in the comments but I was watching a video where they took the powder tool (for embossing) and rubbed it in the plastic pouch and then put the sequins and glitter and none of stuck to the plastic...p.s. I love your work. Debbie
That was a wonderful video. Gave me ideas. But..my fuse tool would never heat up and I bought two. Got so frustrated and threw it away. Now Im using regular soldering iron but it's too hot. Your video has lifted me up to go and try again!d Thanks. (michele)
Your right about plastic. I tried 3 different types of plastic. Found thinner works better but it depends on your iron. Trial and error. If I find iron, I'll let you know...but it could be a while, I hurt my hand!
I am in love with this technique. I have yet to actually use my Fuse, but after watching this video, I'm psyched. I'm getting up early in the morning to try this! I was wondering what you used to create the welded look on the edges. I was quite surprised when you said it was Perfect Pearls. If it wasn't pushing midnight, my time, I would so be trying this right now. Thanks for sharing! ;)
+TheClover2claire LOL, I've been there, when you can't sleep because you need to create. After making these I have never used my fuse again. Have fun, TFW, Sara
This was really fun to watch. I have a wood burning tool that was marketed as a scrapbooking tool & it has a pointy tip for making your own photo sleeves. I don't even need a fuse to do those little shapes. I love all of the different things you added to them & the way you finished off the edges. What are you planning to do with them? JIL
I was playing around earlier with my Fuse and discovered I didn't like glitter in my pockets either. It stuck all over everything and covered up the bigger items. I'm gonna try using the cutting tip like this. Tfs
Had no clue what a 'Fuse' was but the cloud caught my eye. They are super cute. Could a liquid (glycerine, water, etc) be sealed in the center (maybe by freezing it while sealing)?
Love those. Maybe try an embossing buddy to help with the static of the glitter it may work. Maybe throw glitter on the liquid pearls to get the effect of stickles.
I know this is old but you can check the clog just by pulling out the top with a pair of pliers, its pops out easily and goes back in easily. you may find old paint that dries around the edge of the bottle over time. You can pull it out with tweezers.
+JustCardsBy Sara Hi, I have a Dremel Versatip solder iron with several tips,. One looks just like this. It shows all the uses on the box and it will work for this project. I hope that helps. Wouldn't hurt to try, huh? Good luck!
+JustCardsBy Sara , hi, I'm a glass artist by trade. I have 4 solder irons. The regular irons are too hot to even use to cut stencil material. If you have a temperature controlled one that might work on the lowest setting.
Hi Sarah, what kind of plastic is this? The weight or type to use? Thanks. Love your tutorials! BTW, Your first video I ever watched was when Kiwi pooped on your painting! 😂 I was hooked on your fun, relaxed style. 🤗👍🏻❤️
I did my first shaker shape out of a cookie cutter. thanks to this tutorial. I was going to take it back because it kept ripping my sheet protector. but I didn't know that could actually be a good thing to cut and seal a shape. one concern however, do you get a strong odor from the tool? I don't have a window in my craft room and I am wondering if its normal and it should use it outside, or maybe I got a defected product
Hi. I've had my fuse for ages and just used it for the first time. How did you get the outline color on your pieces? On the examples you showed at the beginning? Thanks. They're so nice!
I've ordered the fuse tool, can't wait to get it. Great tips. Would I be able to use OHP sheets? I got a load of them from a charity shop. I've used them in shaker cards which have been sealed with foam tape, and it would be great if I could use them with the fuse tools. Thanx 😎
Hi I wanted to know after selling the top of any flower or what ever ,do you emboss you're stuff I see a color on the edge if what ever you doing??? I love it everything....going to start my first fun card I love everything
Fun ideas. Just a hint.....fuse with slow even pressure, not hard and let it sit a second before you lift if off your tile or paper. You need to let the plastic cool a bit to adhere the top with the bottom. COOLING is the secret not pressure. The heat does all the work but you need to let it cool to set.....have fun!
Ok. I will try that next time. Thanks, Sara
The cloud is so beautiful! Love this idea!

CraftyPaws Thanks Kristina, I am still figuring out how much glitter to put in. I think less is better. TFW, Sara

Thanks for the video with the "not to do's" included. I always learn more by mistakes and appreciate that you left that in. I will not be using glitter unless it is blacker green for a halloween monster and then nothing else but glitter. Monsters should be yucky!

+Paola Mendoza Vara your welcome
Thanks for getting back to me.
thanks for sharing I love the ideas
Thanks for posting this!! I tried using the wheel, but they just didn't look good. Now I have a plan B! :)
X great idea! I didn't like glitter in my shakers very much either:( it covered all the pretty stuff!

+myserenitycrafts you're very welcome :-)
Amber MacMurtry I’ve tried the cornstarch method. It didn’t work nearly as well as the Embossing Buddy.
Amber MacMurtry wow!!! Great tip! Tfs
Great ideas.

+Suzy Ikerd Thank you so much. I am glad. Have fun and TFW, SAra
Great video. Useful tips.
I can't think why you would get any 'dislikes' TFS
Thank you so much. I never put dislike even when I don't really like a video. I just move on. People. Go figure.
OMG Cookie cutters! Brilliant idea. thank you for sharing :D
+Danielle Bailey Well, Thanks TFW, SAra
Oh yours are so cute! I've made some of these and used does instead of cookie cutters.
Rosemary Bryson Thanks
This was really helpful!
Great tutorial! TFS :)
Beautiful. You could use an anti static bag to keep it from clinging. Thank you for sharing.

Wow Judy you are right about the paper underneath as a guide. I haven't used my fuse since I made this video. So glad it inspired, TFW, sAra
Love this idea I'm getting my husbands cookie cutters out and giving this a try ... 😊
I like your attitude
like the moon and cloude
Great tutorial
Thank you Karin. I'll look for one next I'm out shopping.

stampyra Why not when we can make all of the inserts and books. I like the leather and the fabric, really great for gifts too!. TTYL, Sara
Those 1.3 and 1.4 stickers would look cool on my firing system.
I ONLY USE THE pointy tip.....makes it so much smoother
I was playing around earlier with my Fuse and discovered I didn't like glitter in my pockets either. It stuck all over everything and covered up the bigger items. I'm gonna try using the cutting tip like this. Tfs
TracyScraps That's what I think too. unless u r going for that look, TFW, Sara
Had no clue what a 'Fuse' was but the cloud caught my eye.
They are super cute.
Could a liquid (glycerine, water, etc) be sealed in the center (maybe by freezing it while sealing)?
Love those. Maybe try an embossing buddy to help with the static of the glitter it may work. Maybe throw glitter on the liquid pearls to get the effect of stickles.

Have you tried using a duster like for embossing.... that would remove the static.
Omg so cute!!! I wonder if u could create the same with a solder iron!!!

Not a strong odor. A little bit like burning plastic. If it's an electrical smell that's bad.
great ideas with the cookie cutters. will stickers work on them.

I think glitter glue would work better, cheaper than liquid pearls, and would match better. good tutorial! TFS blessings,
