The link doesn’t exist anymore, that’s why I present another hot glue stamp.
Personally I find that the hot glue stamp is not only great for Advent time ;-)
Actually you ‘paint’ your design with hot glue on a piece of wood and sand it carefully to get an even surface on your stamp.

I find it an interesting idea to incorporate shapes in weaving!
This shape here is from porcelain but it should work as well with a shape from hot glue, don’t you think?

Well, doesn’t the faux milk glass jewelry look nice?
Simply made from hot glue ;-)
The textured faux milk glass and the faux ceramic and milk glass vases are made in another way.

Doesn’t the glue gun heart pendant look cute? And it seems to be quite easy to make it :)

These twigs mini easels are meant for table cards and are simply glued together with hot glue. Nice idea! :)
And they surely look also good when you put photos on :)

A great idea again: the textured rolling pin is a very simply tool to e.g. press patterns into clay :)

A great idea: if you want to mould something small, you can use hot glue for the mould!
But only veeery carefully ;-)

I found two tutorials on how to make a hairpin lace loom (see links below) and because I hadn’t the appropriate material at hand (in fact that’s strange seeing all the stuff I have lying here about ;-)) I did it a little different:
I took two toilet paper tubes, cut them lengthwise, rolled them up strongly and taped them all around.
Then I pricked two metal kebeb skewers through those thick cardboard rolls: my hairpin lace loom was done!
;-)
At last I could give hairpin lace a try and it – worked.
That is to say that I haven’t read the hairpin lace instruction at stichdiva thoroughly(!) and therefore it didn’t work in the beginning.
They write ‘Insert hook under thread of topmost loop’, but for me it isn’t the topmost thread (blue arrow) but the foremost thread (red arrow).
After I took the foremost thread everything worked fine.
At the moment I don’t have the time for it but in future I will play around with hairpin lace :)
