    Do you use a glue gun? When doing big jobs, wreaths, centerpieces, what ever, try melting glue in a electric pan and dip and place the object where you want.
    So much easier the pick up the gun squeeze, put the gun down then place it, by then some times it's already cooled off an not as sticky.
    I used to find electric fry pans in thrift stores.

    Happy Holidays :)

    I burn myself with a glue gun.
    Can't wait to have a whole pan, full of hot glue, to spill on me. LOL

    roflmao sounds like you need a glue stick sir. You get burnt worse with the gun. You only need about an inch or so in the pan, would be costly to fill, that glue ain't cheap.

    I've made a few wreaths with a glue gun...but find it handy for numerous home repairs too, a handy tool. Don't do much crafting but like home made wreaths better than the store bought ones...more original.

    I used a glue gun once when I was helping out in one of my kids classes a few years back. It was kind of fun. I don't do crafts though, so don't have my own.

    I love to draw and use pastels, but don't have much interest in cutting and glueing.
