I saw this hack online. It’s a glue gun holder. All materials except the silicone potholder are from Dollar Tree.

I zip-tied the bottom centers of two napkin holders together.
Then, I zip-tied the upper middles together. Zip ties should have the “toothy“ side to the inside.
I cut the excess tie ends off.
I flopped the pot holder over the center.
I’ll use the glass candle base as a trivet.
I placed the glue gun and some glue sticks in the holder. It looks like a baby beluga whale in a carriage.

It’s functional, but I think a larger oven mitt would work better. This is the largest I’ve found, so far.

Maybe I’ll save it for a mini glue gun! (I won’t use it on the bed!)

at Dollar Tree today.

In our little community, if you want craft supplies, you have three options:

1) Dollar Tree

2) Walmart

3) order online

Otherwise, you have to travel a minimum of 30 miles.

Dollar Tree won today because it involved the least amount of walking. They also had the main thing I was after. (I checked online. Their search engine is a nightmare, by the way.)

I’m working on a collage for a challenge that ends tomorrow. I am not happy with the substrate I chose, so I headed out to buy the 12×12” plywood unfinished signs, complete with hanger. I bought 3, because hey, there are monthly challenges. (Look in the back of the box of round ones, if you go.)

I found other options, too! There were 12×16” stapled canvases and bamboo cutting boards in two sizes!

I found a new glue gun and glue sticks. (Where do they hide?) I bought a glass candle plate for it to rest on.

As you can see, I found lots of products with craft uses. Maybe I’ll explain them all someday. In the meantime, happy crafting to you and me! -K❤️
