Hi- I have been a florist since 1967. The best glue gun That I have found is a GORILLA GLUE GUN. When I am working on projects it might be plugged in for 8-10 hours straight. The Gorilla gun holds up much better than the so-called- professional glue gun that I paid a fortune for when I had my shop. I realize this post was a year ago, but I just found this channel. Hope this helps.
Just by luck, I saw this snapshot, and wow, I have a photo of a vintage snowman that I have kept for years and dreamed of making! Really endearing watching the process and the use of found items🌲hopefully you will see this heartfelt thank you! Blessed and safe days!
Hello! I made 2 of the snowmen as you directed. It was such fun. They look so vintage. I used the ring of a ball jar as the base. It was really good to hold them while I worked on them. Thank you so much for sharing!!
I love those snowmen, years ago, I made snowman with styrofoam balls . I used wax tarts that smelled so good. In white, and drip the white wax over the styrofoam. And they were my favorite snowman that I ever made
Hello Mary and Robin! These are exactly the kinds of Christmas ornaments I love best...vintage looking! Thank you so much for showing us how you make these beautiful snowmen. I'm closing my eyes tightly and making a wish that you'll make some more vintage looking ornaments :)
I love the snowman!!! Thank you for showing how to make the hat. My mom had told me I could make some, but never showed me how. I also loved that you showed different things to use for adornments. I really enjoyed you two conversing. I like that she asked questions I was thinking. I don't like the negativity some people expressed. Also, please show us how to make the feather tree. You are a great teacher.😊
I like that batting too. It's called Warm and Natural, and I've bought it at Joann Fabrics. I love the way you fray the edges and cover styrofoam with it.
I use an old bonnet hairdryer as a craft dryer. Pop the hose off of the bonnet and run it through a hole in a cardboard box or plastic bin with a lid. Works well for drying small projects.
I would just use the lid itself for the base; that way you have a nice raised edge to glue the greenery/decorations onto, spay painted first, of course.
