VIDEO: I Haven't Capped my Glue in a YEAR

I've literally waited a year to tell you about this. The absolute BANE of my existence is my inability to put a cap on my glue, the glue clogging, and me trying to unclog it. 

About a year ago, I got the prototype of the Precision Glue Press, and I have not capped my glue since! It has been SO hard to hide this in my videos and daily lives, let me tell you!

It's a super ergonomic, easy to hold and squeeze pressure tool for glue - any glue you want - that makes SUPER fine lines of glue, and it sits in a stand that keeps the glue from clogging WITHOUT A CAP. NO PIN. NOTHING - just pop the little press in the stand - there's a little silicone pillow that the tip rests on that keeps it from drying!

I'm so glad it's finally arrived and I can stop keeping it out of my videos LOL.

This thing is great if you have a hard time squeezing tubes or bottles of glue. I'll put a video demo below, but this has become as essential to my craft process as the MISTI.

I have a new video on an old technique today - this is the final video in my three part series on using patterned paper creatively - it's the Herringbone technique.

This video will actually have a second part where I show you how to color the little cottage, but today's video is just about the background. It's such a striking way to build a background, all I added was this Thanksgiving sentiment - I colored the little - what are those - excitement marks? - to match, but super simple. This is the patterned paper pack I used - and I talk about the different types of patterns you can use in the video. I punched out little circles of glitter paper as DIY embellishments.

Here's the video:

Now a few tips and the video on the glue press. It comes with one full bottle of glue and one empty bottle for whatever glue you like. The cap sits permanently on that front part of the stand. You get a regular nozzle and a fine tip nozzle - I just use the fine tip one because I love it for teeny word die cuts, but if you use a very viscous glue you might want to try the larger tip. Pop the glue bottle in from the back - all the way until it clicks. This is what ensures it sits on the little pillow that keeps it from clogging - see how the end of the bottle is flush with the back of the press?

Then that's it! Pick it up whenever you want and give it a gentle squeeze! Pop it back in the stand and it's ready to go for next time! Whatever glue is in the nozzle when you put it back on the stand will collect on the pillow and sometimes around the tip - just pull that off. 

You are going to wonder what you did without this thing. I'll tell you what I did - I threw away a lot of glue! OH and the other thing is - it's very efficient - with the fine tip and the ability to control how much glue comes out by the way you squeeze the handle - I'm still using the same bottle of glue that came with mine a YEAR ago, and I use it several times a day. A bottle of glue has never lasted this long. 

Here's her video of it:

Have a great Tuesday! Loveyameanitbye.
