You can also dust a mold with mica powders or glitter and then squirt the glue in. It will adhere the mica powder. Use a paint brush to apply the powder evenly to the mold.
You can buy glue sticks that are already in colors and some with glitter. That way you can skip painting them if you want or at least use it as the base color.
If you store your glue sticks in the freezer, it cuts WAY down on those annoying strings you mentioned ;) It does NOT affect the glue either, I read this tip YEARSSSS ago in a blog I cant remember and is now long gone sadly, but I store every type of glue stick in the freezer and Ill take a few out at a time or Ill take one right from the freezer to the glue gun and it still works like normal. It doesnt affect the glue itself either. Ive even used this trick with SUPER OLD glue sticks I got at the thrift shop I volunteer at bc they were going to toss them...but I wanted to see if this trick would work on even super old stringy gooey glue sticks and sure enough it did! Lol! They were gross before I froze them, but worked fine after! I didnt keep them though bc the glue was actually yellowed, lol! My fav trick I learned and love to pass on bc Ive never heard anyone else mention it...and I store my fabric and glitter or colored sticks in the freezer too! My bf even tried it with his industrial glue gun sticks that are HUGE and yep, worked great with those too! Hope it helps you as well!
Oh wow! Never new this would work with hot glue! I have spent a lot of money on a variety of resins from Reynolds plastics, which are very pricey, where the glue gun molded items would work just as well!
This is a great idea, but I have a question... how do you avoid little bubbles in the mold after you have put the glue into the mold? I tried this several times, but ended up with little pocks in the cooled pieces. I tried to POP them, but that just made it worse. I also used my heat gun to help smooth the glue out, and that was fine, but I could not pop the bubbles. Anybody got any answers for me?
shawna ferguson I had to listen and relisten and try to enlarge the image. Finally got it “Finnabair” is the name! Looks like Prima-Finnair-Metallique are words to search on Amazon for both the paint and the wax. She must be working for Prima as the paper clay, molds, paints and waxes are all from Prima marketing. I use the wax. Nice. Prob get it at any craft hobby store. I’d like to get those paints too. I only have acrylic and chalk which is very matte and dry. That looks smooth and glossy! Guess we’ll have to order as I don’t think Michaels, Jo-Ann’s or Hobby Lobby are considered essential businesses. Hopefully soon!

Omg, I wanted to spruce up my dollar tree craft items and this will add to beautify them. Thank you so much for taking the time to show us this.

Thank you for the heat gun tip. That's what they do with resin molds too.
They look fantastic with the paint!
I like to mix in mica powders in the glue while its in the mold
Love your papers!
So
they look pretty durable too, this is a great idea, it'll save me lots of embossing powder haha~
This satisfied my creative search
Beautiful!
Thank you for sharing honey!
They would be so fun!!
Are you using a high or low glue stick. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work.
Great idea, Sharon , Thank you
Patricia Casal Bowles from BOLIViA
Great idea! Thanks for such great coverage of Creativation!
Have you tried to top coat with resin.
Omg! This is a terrific idea! I already own a few of the molds, paint and wax!❤️❤️
All of the molds I have found look fairly deep for flowers and leaves
I bet that if you preheat the mold in the oven first, the glue would spread even better.
This was great!!! Ty
Oh my gosh thank you for this information…
If you then wanted to apply to a glass vase, what type of glue would you use?
I would use a gel multi-medium or glossy accents.
What company makes the clock moulds? Thanks!
Hi is a hair dryer ok instead of a heat gun thanks.
A hair dryer doesn't usually get hot enough.
You definitely need a heat gun. A hair dryer isn’t hot enough
What's the name of the paint which you used.
From where i can get the paint and wax
CAN YOU USE THE MOLDS FOR EDIBLE THINGS AFTER USING HOT GLUE IN THE MOLDS ?
If your glue is non-toxic, possibly, but I would recommend having molds for crafting and separate molds for food.
Ok THAT LOOKS LIKE FUN😃. Thank you for sharing. Now I just need to know where you get all those molds?
Scrapbook.com - links in description
amazon is where i bought mine.
Can you use hot glue in a deep mold t9 make something bigger
You can try. If you fill it and it doesn’t work, try filling it in layers, letting the previous layer dry.
Oh wow thank You so much
Dont say this too often,,, GREAT IDEA!!!
TAKE MY WALLET, just TAKE IT!
What happens when its hot and the glue melts
It would have to be really hot for the glue to melt. At least 149F, typically hotter.
@@ScrapTimeVideos ok. Thanks
This great, thx

I believe you need to have your glue gun very hot, so the glue is almost liquid coming out. As in the video.
@@lindawarren2479 Thank you. I though it WAS hot enough, but I may have been too anxious to try this idea, and the glue may not have been hot enough..
Try also tapping the mould as in pick it up and drop it on the table a few times
