I was blog hopping this weekend and I saw a video on turning strips of scrap material into a flower. I cannot remember the blog...I really hate it when things fall out of my head! She used a different brand of glue, similar but different. Her glue did not fall over and I was fascinated on why. She did not mention it because she was giving a tuturial on gluing a flower together. The video was good and the flower turned out very cute.
Finally the light was just right in the video and I could see that she had glued a piece of clear flat plastic to the lid of the glue bottle. Maybe it was a scrap of acetate but I don't think so. Acetate would bend easily. It was clear so it was really hard to catch. How clever! I did a similar thing but I used the same Scotch glue to adhere the lid of my Scotch glue to a round piece of chipboard that I had on hand. It works like a charm. The glue is always ready to go and it doesn't fall over easily. When the bottle is empty, I will throw it away and keep the lid attached to the cardboard to put on a new bottle of Scotch glue. I cannot take credit for this idea but I can certainly pass it on to you. If I remember where I saw that video, I will post it.
