Please use a regular stove at home, but enjoy this very informative and very simple tutorial and how to turn the components from a glue gun into a tiny electric stove.

Sculpy Clay Card
What you will need: Clear glue sticks Cardstock or ready made card Small cookie cutter in flower shape (or whatever!) Sculpy in desired colors (at least 2) Sculpy glaze Green glitter glue or fabric paint Using a pasta machine or roller, roll the Sculpy out into thin sheets. Depending on how many flowers you want on the front of your card, you'll only need a pinch of each color of Sculpy. Cut out the shapes with the cookie cutter and set aside.

Pom Pom Flag
This craft cost exactly $1.00 to make. I got a bag of red, white and blue, tiny pom poms from the dollar bin at JoAnn's and made this American flag in honor of the 4th of July! It's pretty open on what you can do with it: attach a wooden dowel and stick it in a garden or planter, attach to the front of a card, glue to an unsharpened pencil for a mini parade flag or even use it as a coaster! Materials: Glue gun/ clear glue sticks Metallic pom poms in the 1/4 inch size (red, white, blue)… Read More
