I made glue stencils a couple of years ago (#90, Parts 1 and 2, of the Things Challenge (DWPB100ThingsChallenge) on my channel). I had a lot of fun making those. I think I'll make some more! I had to watch your video because you have such a great sense of humor. Thanks for sharing, Laurel!

In the past, I made my glue stencils for my gel printing! Great minds think alike, Laurel!

👍 You can write words (I have). This leaves a white area instead of dark areas like stamping does. You can create stamps with the glue gun (as seen on a KZfaq video). So you can use these as a resist or to use these to add color ! Cool, huh ? 🙋 Nana in se OK usa :-))

BTW, it isn’t drying, It is cooling. It was never wet. Hot glue is low melt plastic.

This is quite cool, I made this type of stencil years ago when I was doing mixed media things, but it has been years. While I was watching you, I had a really crazy idea, not sure how it will work but will try it today and let you know. My idea is: you know the little things people get from SSS and other places to set their ink pads on so they don't move all over the desk when you are ink blending... why not use this. I would think it would somewhat stick to a glass surface and then keep your ink pad from slipping. I dunno, I'll let you know if it works. TFS.

Your channel is quite addictive. I paint address numbers and make my own stencils too. Yup. Except I use masking tape to make them waterproof. Then I cut the stencil with a razor. I save tons of money and keep the major profit to reinvest on more to earn more. It's a job but somebody gotta do it. I work for myself. Thank you GOD. and u as well for such great ideas.

Hello Laurel, nice to meet you. I’m a new subscriber. And, so happy I caught this video. I saw a new glue gun at Home Depot yesterday. They had a cordless glue gun (320-380 degrees) I’m dying to use it. I’m also looking to use the spray oxides. I have 20 colors in the stamping pads. I typically use a large makeup brush when using stencils but these are gorgeous!!

Since I’ve never had a glue gun I have no concept of how it’s going to work in reality but it does look like you used a lot of glue sticks. Would you estimate like three glue sticks for two stencils or something like that? Laurel… you are fabulous! Another great short video.
