Glue Dots® Adhesives are so versatile. I predominately craft with my Glue Dots, but I've been checking out the "power of the dot" with other projects around my house.
Fix 'er Up One
This is more like a project, but I used Glue Dots® Adhesives because I was frustrated with trying to do what the local framer had told me.
Tabitha's mother-in-law gave her the silverware David used as a baby. Tabitha wanted to frame them in a shadow box for Little Honey's room. The framer told us to use a clear type thread and sew a loop around the next of the fork, knife, and spoon.
I was frustrated with trying to make it look right. So I pulled out my Glue Dots® Adhesives Craft. Placed a one Dot at the top and one on the bottom of the silverware. Placed it on the back ground of the shadow box. Gave the piece a good shaking to make sure it wasn't coming off. Presto! Now I'm into making shadow boxes!
Fix 'er Up Two
I have this beautiful photo of my grandmother and grandfather that hangs in my living room. For the life of me I've never been able to get it straight. I had placed a small pin near the bottom of the frame in the wall to keep it straight.
I removed the pin and place a Removable Glue Dots® Adhesive on the back of the picture frame, centered the frame where I wanted it, and pressed. It hasn’t moved since! It’s nice to not have an unsightly pin just hanging on the wall.
Fix 'er Up Three
I have three Fiskars Easy Stamp Presses. I’ve had them for several years and use the Press teaching classes, doing demos, and my personal use. They have certainly received a work out.
The Easy Stamp Press has these little sponge/foam “feet.” My Press "feet" kept losing its grip and falling off. I knew that liquid glue would soak into foam and stiffen. Tape runner did not hold for long.
Glue Dots® Adhesives to the rescue!
I used one Craft Dot on the each “foot” that was having problems staying attached and ta-da no more loose feet. It works like new!

I love the idea that they are strong and removable when YOU want them to be...my craft room is in the basement, and has cement walls, so I really can't hang anything easily. When I saw your silverware shadowbox, I remembered I have some old silverware I have collected over the years, and I think I would try doing something like you did first !
ReplyDeletelove your silverware shadow box!!! great idea!!
ReplyDeleteI use glue dots on flowers for my scrapbooking layouts
ReplyDeleteI would use glue dots on photo frames to keep them straight on the walls.
ReplyDeleteI would use glue dots when creating my next shadow box.
ReplyDeleteGreat helpful ideas Deb! I am now going to make a shadowbox of my husbands baby utinsles. I LOVE that!
ReplyDeleteI use Glue Dots ALL the time in making my cards to adhere bling, pearls, bows, charms, flowers etc.
ReplyDeleteI am now going to use your Glue Dots idea to make a shadow box of my FIL WWII medals. My husband has been wanting to do this, but uncertain how we were going to adhere them. Using Glue Dots is the perfect way. Thanks for the idea Deb!
ReplyDeleteI recently used Glue Dots to reattach the rubber "feet" on my DH's laptop computer.
ReplyDeleteGreat tips and projects, Debby!
glue dots are the best!
ReplyDeleteAwww, your doggie is adorable Debby. I love the silverware in the frame and this is a great use of glue dots. I often use glue dots to hold down ribbon for various projects. Sometimes those bows just WILL NOT stay where you want them too.
ReplyDeleteReally clever ways to use glue dots! I love the shadow box idea and would probably make one with my husbands army medals, etc
ReplyDeleteooh those are cute projects - i would use the gluedots under my wooden giraffes to stop the cats kicking them over so easily!!! love the grand-dog, he is cute xxx
