Craft Shows Directory
About.com has a directory of Craft Shows, Fairs, Events & more in the US that can be viewed by state, alphabetically and even how to apply to those shows, the cost and booth size if you're looking to part with some of your own crafty treasures! There is also an option for vendors to review a craft show and let others know how they fared and for promoters to submit a show to the directory. Very handy for those gearing up for the upcoming summer festival season! Tags:glue+gun, glue+gun+crafts, glue+gun+projects, craft+projects, craft+events, event+directory… Read More

As previously posted, there were some young ladies redefining the uses of a glue gun. Here are some young men (from the looks of it in a dorm room) in what could possibly be their underwear using a glue gun in a means other than suggested by the manufacturer. *Warning: There is some situational inspired profanity.
