I thought I would start a thread for those (like me) who have mostly brilliant ideas that run amuk when it comes to the execution phase. Topics could include:
1. the horror of glue
2. paint is your friend
3. using the other guy's stuff
I thought I'd start in 'the horror of glue' catagory cuz I just found an easypeasy way to coat an object with glue without glueing myself.
Stuff you need:
Object to be glued upon
Stuff to be glued on the object to be glued upon arranged in the pattern you want on a flat nonstick surface (eg. old cookie sheets)
Plastic bag equivalent to the size of object to be glued upon
Glue
Method:
Squeeze/pour glue into one corner of the bag. Place object to be glued into bag. Seal bag by tying or zipping. Turn bag so corner with glue is on top. Massage object while moving bag about until object is coated. Open bag and gently plop object to be glued upon out of the bag onto your arranged stuff to be glued on. Using the plastic bag, gently move the object to be glued upon over the stuff to be glued on. Set aside to dry on another nonstick surface or a rack or whatever works for you. TA DA!
