How To Save Your Kids Game Boxes

     Hey Scrappy Friends!  I keep coming up with ways to use The Best Glue Ever that I want to share with you.  I mean let's be real...if we can buy one glue that does all these things, and supports a small business, why not right!?

     So if your kiddos are anything like mine they are super rough on the boxes for their board games.  Look at the poor checkers box.

     I have tried other things to repair game boxes before, but none of them seem to hold.  I've used staples, tape, other glues and they always come back apart again quickly.  Enter The Best Glue Ever...

     All you have to do is put some in the areas you need to re-stick. I actually used more than needed here just to be me REALLY certain it wasn't going to come back undone.

     I also clipped the corners I wasn't working on together with binder clips since I knew nap time was coming to an end.  I could walk away then knowing all corners were held together until dry (which really doesn't take long) if baby girl woke up sooner than expected.

     Now look at this result!  There isn't a gap to be seen, and we can go back to enjoying our game without pieces falling all over, rubber bands holding things together or having to re-box.

     I really hope some of my ideas have been helping you look at your crafting supplies in new ways to use around your house.  Until next time....

How To Clean Your Purse Quickly

    Hey Scrappy Friends!  I wanted to share with you today a new way I found to use my ScraPerfect Best Cleaner Ever, and I'm so excited about the result.  

     I recently bought a new purse, and when I brought it in my husband's car I honestly don't know what happened, but it came out all black. The picture doesn't show how bad it really looked :-(

     I figured I had nothing to lose, but I suggest testing on a small inconspicuous spot...just in case.  I tested on the bottom.

     To clean I just sprayed a bit on a cotton ball and rubbed where the black was.

     So are you ready for the result...The Best Cleaner Ever saved my new purse!

     

How to easily add embellishments to your craft project

     Hey Scrappy Friends!  I'm here today with a new to me product that I wanted to share with you because it's changing the way I craft.  It's the Embellie Gellie by ScraPerfect.

     Previously I was using the following pick up stick produced by another company.

     The problem with the above is see the green stuff...it only stays sticky for about three embellishments and then you have to pull it off and advance more.  I mean seriously...who only put three sequins or gem type things on a layout.  I was advancing sometimes three times each layout.  Enter the Embellie Gellie.

     It comes with a wooden wand and the tacky portion in a small re-sealable container.

     Since you only use a small portion at a time I chose to score mine with my Tim Holtz craft knife so that I knew they were relatively proportional.

     Pull off the portion you scored and roll it around the flat end of the wooden wand.  You can mold it to the shape you need for your embellishment.  For a smaller one I used a point and a larger just a more round end.

      You're now ready to start attaching embellishments.  Touch the wand to the embellishment and you're ready to go.   So much easier to perfectly place than using your fingers or having the item pop away from you when using tweezers.  

     You can always pick up multiple embellishments to transfer to your project.  I tried picking up both the flat and rounded side of these homemade enamel dots to test and it worked on both sides.  

     You can these use the pointed end of the wand to do any minor adjustments or push the embellishment further in your dot of adhesive.  Game changer my friends...let me tell you.

    I then pop my tacky portion back in the box and it's ready to use again the next time I craft.  How easy is that and less expensive than buy the other product over and over since it runs out so quickly.
