I never thought about how fun it is to work with hot glue until I came upon so many ideas for creating useful crafts out of it.
This time I'm making a glass coaster using hot glue.
Supplies:
- 2 sticks hot glue
- glue gun
- 2 pieces of acetate or parchment paper
- glitters (assorted colors)
- flat iron
- cloth
- pencil
- scissors
Steps:
- On a piece of paper trace the bottom of a glass. Draw a design around it. To keep it simple I chose to make a flower.
- Cover the top of the paper with acetate. If you have a piece of parchment paper you won't be needing an acetate layer.
- Sprinkle different glitter colors within the design.
- Now start tracing the sides with hot glue using a glue gun. Then fill the spaces.
- Cover with another piece of acetate or parchment paper.
- Get a piece of cloth and put it on top. If you're using parchment paper there is no need to place a cloth on the layers.
- Turn on the flat iron and put it on top of the cloth or parchment paper for 30 seconds.
- Wait until the glue dries completely. Carefully peel off the acetate.
- Using a pencil draw the details again on the dried glue. Then cut the sides to emphasize the details of the design.
- Line the sides of the circle with hot glue to support the base of the glass as you place it on top. And it's done.
