Helmar is excited to introduce you to our December Guest Designer, Lynda Lindley. I have followed Lynda's work for a long time and am so happy to see her creativity using Helmar! Take it away Lynda……
My name is Lynda Lindley and I live in the beautiful state of Washington with my husband, two daughters, and a puppy. I have been paper crafting for twenty years; starting out as a stamper, slowly moving into scrapbooking and other paper crafts. I am so excited about being Helmar's guest designer for December!
A common saying here in our house is "give it to Mama…she can fix it" and I find myself reaching for Helmar adhesives for a LOT of my rescue projects. Most recently the new puppy decided to play with a stuffed animal and her eye came out…Helmar to the rescue…the next morning the black and white puppy was good as new thanks to Helmar's gemstone glue!
Here is what he looked like before his Helmar repair….and after!!
Thank you Helmar!
Tis the season to start making gifts and each year I try and come up with new ideas for teacher gifts that the girls and I can make together. This year we decided to make ornaments.
I picked up some paper mache ornaments for $.89 at the local craft store. I gathered my supplies, my Helmar Acid free glue, paintbrush, glitter, and tray to catch the glitter.
I first squeeze some of the glue out onto a piece of cardboard. I then paint the glue onto the ornament. Once the entire surface is covered dump your desired glitter color onto the glue; carefully tapping off the excess. Wait for each color to dry completely before moving to the next color. For my ornament I used pink, green, and yellow glitter.
These make great gifts for the holidays and are great kid projects!
Have a wonderful day,
