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.

A nice idea: make with a glue gun snowflakes and colour them with nail polish :)
But you can make much more with a glue gun :)

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

When there comes the time again where you can sit on your patio and dine with friends (ok, ok, it will still take some time, but a woman can dream ;-)), the candle lit photo stands can make a romantic atmosphere.
In the instruction they print their own photos on vellum and glue them on, I preferred my favourite gift wrap.
Besides you should also be able to use the topmost layer of the used paper napkins (possibly glued on vellum), then everything matches even better.

A lovely little gift could be the photo pencils with your own photo.
I really like the idea, it is similar to the paper pen decoration, but this time with your own photos and for a couple of pencils.
Furthermore it must be nice to decorate the recycled magazine rollups that I presented yesterday instead of pencils by glueing the clippings of your own photo on the paper rolls :)

I found a tutorial on how to make rice glue to be used with paper crafts.
I’m always glad when I find non-toxic recipes so I immediatly bookmarked this one.
For the photo I took a picture of rice but I think that Sushi rice or rice pudding rice will work better.

Once I wanted to make a photo frame for a friend. There are so many ways to do this, but then I got an idea I still find great ;-))
I used a simple glass frame as seen on the second photo that I already had at home and glued a kind of Paper Crazy Quilt with two windows for the photos onto the glass.
I used flower photos from an ad as paper and the only embroidery stitches I used where the zigzag stitches, because I wanted it to be simple.

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.

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 :)
