- Below you'll find complete instructions as well as products used in making this video. So sorry I call the puffin a puffer....I'm terrible with names....
I always have issues with my glue tips getting clogged and not being able to keep the glue running, so I decided to make a video with my latest trials...
I bought the Stopper Topper to keep my Bearly Art Glue black tip stopped...here's a link to the store where I bought it on Etsy. www.etsy.com/s...
I was in my local Dollar Tree and found this adorable bird planter in the plant section where you'd find plastic succulents and I thought it would be perfect for holding my Tombow Mono Aqua Glue bottle. There must be a total of eight options, but my store only had the bird and the walrus...link: www.dollartree... and www.dollartree... I really liked the sloth, but couldn't find it in my store.
You'll need a lot of hot glue sticks and E6000 glue as hot glue will sometimes release off of glass or ceramic if it goes from warm to cold and so the E6000 coating the bottom inside of the planter, ensures that the hot glue and the E6000 together will hold on the ceramic. I added a lot of hot glue in the inside center of the planter and then set the lid of the glue bottle well submerged in hot glue...you'd want to cover about half of the lid so once the glue sets, it will hold the glue bottle and will allow you to unscrew the bottle and the lid will always stay inside the planter, and this ensures the glue is always ready to be used and you don't have to shake it a lot to get the glue to come out of the bottle... If you get hot glue on the outside of the planter, use your heat tool and re heat the hot glue and then wipe it off with a cloth.
I'll let you know if the Stopper Topper works for the Bearly Art Glue. I did try the Standify on Amazon after contacting the owners of Bearly Art Glue and asking for a stopper for the black tip. I didn't love the Standify as you are supposed to keep the open tip of the glue bottle in the foam at the base of the Standify and sometimes I wouldn't get the tip to sit directly onto the foam and glue would seep out and I hated that. Plus the Standify always seemed to be in my way and I just didn't like it.

I truly love your tutorials they are not just informative but fun Thank you so much
Rosella, I'm so glad you enjoy my videos. I try to find ways to save crafters money and help with issues people give me. If you ever have a video idea you'd like me to cover, please let me know and I'll try to give it a whirl. saundralparker@yahoo.com is the best way to reach me. Sandy
Adorable glue holder! Thanks for sharing Sandy! Janet 💕
So glad you liked it Janet. I love finding cute things that are practical for my craft room, and really like the Tombow Mono Aqua glue especially when I don't have to shake it to get the glue to the tip, and now I don't have to ever worry about it again..YAY....
@@craftingforalmosteveryone So glad you found something that works for you! Hope the Stopper Topper works as well!
Yes Sandy, I loved the whole idea. Pepper is adorable...lol. Thank you for the share.
Glad you liked it. It's so cute in person.
Cute little glue holder from a plant holder.....thanks for sharing it.
And only $1.25, haha.....Made me happy that it was so cute for so little money and works perfectly for this...
Did you see this video of Lindsay's? ua-cam.com/video/0LYuVl9OiJo/v-deo.html Made me think of you....
@@craftingforalmosteveryone Yes, I did I even posted that it was my favorite lighthouse to visit...TFS
Great use of the Puffin cousin to the Penguins 😍
Thanks for the puffin info...I had no idea they were cousins to the penguins....
Love the Puffin to hold the glue. I have to see what I can find in my neck of the woods.
Seems like every Dollar Tree has different patterns...Look where you'd find their small plastic succulents as that's where I've seen them in two stores..Hope you find one you like...
I have Tilly the Turtle with a succulent in it on my office shelf. Never thought to use it this way. I love it!
It worked great. If you pick up one before we make our wreaths....get the glue and we'll make you one while you're here..
@@craftingforalmosteveryone I have a ceramic blue truck from the same brand. I'm bringing it!
@@shelliclarke5563 YAY
Try some trimmer (weedeater) string instead of a pin. Slips right out. 😝
Tim Holtz used to recommend the plastic strip that comes on clothes with a price tag, but that's too thin. Is there a certain thickness of weedeater string that works with the Bearly Art Glue? I'm not happy with the Topper Stopper, as that pin isn't long enough or quite thick enough to make sure it doesn't clog... I love your idea and hope you can help with the thickness that works best.
@@craftingforalmosteveryone I used some we had left over and hubby said it was either .065 or .055, he isn't sure. It's same size as inside of an 18g needle which is basically what their precision tip basically uses. The string is nylon, and the glue slides right off of it dries. A jumbo paperclip may also work depending on the manufacturer lol
I don’t think it matters what you glue the glue cap into, I use a 2inch plastic medicine jar cover, a jam jar cover would work well too. I haven’t had any problem with it coming apart but combining the hot glue with the E6000 should also keep it secure. I also make sure the hot glue goes up high on the glue cap too. Thanks for sharing!
You came up with some great ideas for gluing your glue lids into. I've had problems when I use hot glue with glass, as it sometimes releases from it, and maybe it's my damp climate, but it's happened more than once...
Great idea and cute too!
Thanks Nicki...I really like the puffin...
Nice one Sandy a very dear friend made me a bead thing for my glue nibs and it works beautiful so thank you x
You're so kind. I wish those needles would work for the Bearly Art tip that I like (the black one) but it's a pretty large opening and I haven't found any needles that are thick enough or long enough to work perfectly....but when I do, I'll let you know.
@@craftingforalmosteveryone I wonder if the needles I use for cross stitch would work l will have a look in the morning to see if I can find something heading back to bed my knees are sore today
@@francesinglis6078 I wonder if they would rust as a lot of needles do in glue. We'd need them to be longer too as the Topper Stopper needle isn't long enough. I have a new idea...fishing line
@@craftingforalmosteveryone I was thinking about beading needles
Storm Eunice has arrived wet and very windy so have plenty of time to rake through the needles and Duncan’s fishing lines
Fantastic idea! Thank you for sharing
Glad you liked it...Sandy
That’s a great idea to hold your glue but you could also of taken a pop bottle cut it down and decorated it and there you go in with your planner you could’ve put sand in it and then the glue or something like that it’s just a thought God bless and please have a amazing day
it is not a planner, it is a planter.
Thanks so much for your ideas. I wanted the planter to hold the lid permanently, so I could unscrew it and then the glue's always at the tip and I can simply set the bottle back inside the lid in between uses. I had used marbles to hold my glue bottles in the past and it worked to hold the glue upside down, but it didn't allow me to be able to easily access the glue without taking the whole bottle out of the marbles, including the lid...hope that made some sense. And it's fine with me that you said planner, as I knew exactly what you meant and we all make those kinds of mistakes. Sandy
LOVE it! Thanks for sharing ... 💕
So glad you enjoyed it...Sandy
Nifty ideas Sandy. TFS. Can't wait to try them. I've had problems with the BA glue drying out on our super hot days. Maybe your suggestion will help. Hugs from gg
I don't think the pin from the Stopper Topper is long enough to really work well with the Bearly Art black tip, but will keep looking until I find one that does....you'll be one of the first to know when I find one...
@@craftingforalmosteveryone
Thanks Sandy. Appreciate it.
I was watching a different video about bearly art glue and this was recommended, I'm so glad I watched it and found your channel! Dollar tree also sells a few different versions of those animals that are super cute, I have a squirrel one and a cat (and also bought them for my stepmom who is obsessed with squirrels). I'm gonna buy another one tomorrow to make a glue holder, thank you! I was thinking that the gorilla brand hot glue gun sticks might help?
I don't buy the Gorilla glue hot glue sticks as they are so much more expensive than the ones from Joanns....but, I've learned from others that hot glue doesn't bond to glass like you'd think it would, and when you go from hot to cold or cold to hot, it lets go, so that's why I recommend the E6000 under the hot glue. You need the hot glue to almost encompass the lid of your glue, so that's why I use both. I love the little animals and our DT hasn't had any since I found this bird which is a bummer...
I think you'll like your glue holder...Sandy
Why not super glue the top directly on the bottom of the container? Thanks for the demo!🤗
I found it was too tricky to get enough glue on the top to get it so stick to the bottom. You need a LOT of hot glue to make this stick. I also recommend, if I didn't say this in the video, to add a small amount of E6000 to the bottom of the planter, as hot glue and glass sometimes don't like temperature changes from season to season, and will let go. You'll be surprised at the amount of hot glue it will take to make sure the lid stays firmly in place..you need a hill of it, if that makes sense. Thanks for the question and so glad you liked the demo . Sandy
Another great idea tfs
So glad you liked it Cathy..
Cute glue holder from the little planter. I’ve never used one. I use Art Glitter glue and the stainless steel pin. To be such a tiny hole it can dry so quick, which is irritating. I know you have to put the pin back when you finish, but it tries to dry while I’m sitting it for a second while I get ready to glue the next thing. Anybody got a solution for that? Old eyes and constantly trying to hit that tiny hole makes for frustration.
That's one of the reasons I stopped using the fine tip applicators, and the same with the Bearly Art glue fine tip...the black tip is much easier for me to use but still it gets a little clogged, at least the tip is larger, so I can insert the pin that came with the Topper Stopper, but wish it was a longer pin, as I think it would work better if the pin was longer, just my 2 cents...Sandy
Thank You!
You're so welcome.
Did you find a solution for the glue you started out with at the beginning of the video?
Not yet. I've tried a variety of ideas, but none that made me happy. On their site they show a pin to go inside, but if it's the same as when I got mine, it's not thick enough to stop the glue from drying out. I think they expect you to use it daily so drying out is not an issue...but here's the link in case you want to think about it. bearly.art/products/tip-kit?pr_prod_strat=jac&pr_rec_id=d5f86effe&pr_rec_pid=4438534389831&pr_ref_pid=4325292245063&pr_seq=uniform What's needed is a thicker pin as their pins are just to thin. I was thinking of trying a plastic pin that came with a craft kit I bought and putting ribbon through the eyelet to keep it from falling in. If it works, I'll make a video about it.
MY nightmare glue is bearly art glue, it globs when I am trying to make a card, I can’t get more than one line of glue out of the thing..
That's weird. Have you contacted the company and told them your problem? Or, is there a chance you left the pin or closure off so the glue got thick inside the lid? If so I'd take off the lid and scrape out any globs around the sides and make sure you run hot water through the tip to get it cleared out and then, if your glue is still thick, I'd put a tablespoon of super hot water into it and shake it well to thin it out and if that doesn't work, I'd call the company and ask for advice. I personally can't use any needle tips as I don't have the strength to squeeze them and heard Lindsay the frugal crafter say she can't use them either because she doesn't use glue often enough and they get clogged on her, so she recommends these bottles from the dollar tree instead of using the fine tip bottles www.dollartree.com/jot-squeeze-applicator-bottles-2ct-packs/288579
Hope this helps as I get SO frustrated with glue too.
He's a "Puffin" 😉🥰
I've got it now..thanks for the assist.
just two things,…it’s a planter pot not a planner. And the bird s a Puffin not a puffer
Geez, I apologize...I didn't realize I said it was a planner, as I know it's a planter...I did struggle with the type of bird, though, I'll be honest, names slip my mind when I'm filming and for some reason the puffin didn't click with me. Wish I didn't make these kinds of mistakes, but am glad that you're here to correct me.
Pepper is a puffin which is like a penguin only they live in the northern hemisphere.
Thanks Mary...I knew the name of the bird and then immediately forgot when filming...they're so darn cute, aren't they?
@@craftingforalmosteveryone they are. I love penguins and puffins. My first stamp set was of these kind of birds. I use them for all occasions.
@@maryyoungblood8550 They're adorable and I've never seen a stamp set with them..
Cute, but I think I’ll try to find a stainless steel pin.
I made my own pin topper, but didn't think it was thick enough for the Bearly Art Glue. Here's the video in case you want to find the stainless steel pins I used. ua-cam.com/video/qLqo_wxc3xs/v-deo.html
@@craftingforalmosteveryone LOL. I meant find a stainless steel straight pin in my house. Watched your video, which was fantastic, but I’m trying the laziest way first-put pin in bottle and done. 😇
