HI its Bridget here again. Today I am going to share with you a great craft I did using one of my Favorite adhesives. Helmar's Premium Craft Glue is fantastic, it dries crystal clear and quickly. It also bonds to most surfaces so to me this makes it the perfect glue for crafting. Here is what I used Helmar's Premium Craft Glue for.
This is what you will need:
Helmars Premium Craft Glue
Wine bottles empty, clean and with the labels removed.
Rust-oleum ultra cover paint+primer ( I used Satin Granite)
Twine
Wood letters (I got these from lincraft)
Flowers or other embellishments
acrylic paint
After your wine bottle have been emptied, cleaned and dried take them outside or to a well ventilated area. Using a light back and forth motion spray your bottles. Let them dry between coats as you dont want any drips. Let dry.
Next step is to wrap the twine around the bottle. You can wrap the whole bottle, the middle, top and bottom any way you like. I find you dont need to cover the whole bottle in glue. Just place a few spots of glue around the bottle. The glue dries quickly so just put a few spots at a time where you are wrapping. Then tightly wrap the twine around the bottle, pushing each row into the next. I found the nozzle of the glue great for this.
Next step is to paint your wood letters. I choose to do HOME, but you could do FAMILY, LOVE, JOY the choice is yours just one bottle per letter looks best.
After these have dried using Helmar's Premium Craft Glue adhere to your bottles. You may need to press them while the glue starts to dry, but because it is such a quick drying glue you only need to hold the letters for a minute.
Then lastly using Helmars Premium craft glue attach any embellishments you wish to use.
Here is my completed project.
I really had a great time creating this. I hope you give this a try and if you do I would love to see what you created so please let us know. Until next time Happy Crafting!
