Thanks Cristy. Haven't used pins for a long time - love my elmers glue. I use a piece of heavy cardboard to lay my fabric pieces on so glue doesn't get onto my mats etc.
I like to use dental flossers (the ones that are plastic loops) -- really inexpensive & also come in handy when threading my serger. First I put a pretty bead on - it stops at the beginning of the loop, & then thread the straight end into the glue bottle. If you find it too thin, depending on the size of your glue tip, use 2 together. Like you, I tried straight pins & found it rusted fairly quickly.
I can not keep up with the little pieces of plastic that are inserted in the tips of the glue. I stumbled on another thing that can be used. The little interdental between teeth floss and brush can be used. I think the brand I found that works perfect is by the label GUMS. The brush keeps the opening unplugged. These can be found in the dental/tooth paste sections.
Glenda Slayton Great idea, thank you. We don't have Elmers glue but something the same so I will use your trick. I usually throw brushes away but now found a good home after a soak in disinfectant
I ordered tips and am sooo excited to try this technique! I do have one question... Can I use the clear Elmers school glue. I ask only because I have that on hand. Thank you for sharing your videos!

Good tip.!!
Try as I may, I cannot find the glue bottles with those fine tips! So I bought some bottles from Amazon with fine tips and a cover…….
i always store my glues in the fridge along with my nail polish it keeps forever and won't dry out
Can we get the Elmer’s School Glue in Québec? Thank you for the video demonstration.
Hi Roseline. I think you can. Look for the Elmer's or a washable school glue alternative.
Thank you for the video. Where do you buy the tips?
