    I do save ribbon. I will tie a tail of it to a magnifying glass, a key, small stuff that can get lost in clutter. I see the ribbon pattern and reclaim the item! I broke a Fiskars paper trimmer, but I have a great big old fashioned one with a nasty, scary blade and a great grid on it. It seems to be as big as a sheet of scrapbooking paper. My glue gun is about 20 years old or more. It is an Aleene's model in a carrying case with several tips. I have to admit I did not use it for about 15 years, but it fired right up when I was ready to craft again! I enjoyed your video, again!

    Norrine. I had to let go of my attic space for a project my husband is working on. I had to put things in big storage containers. I used some blue bags to store blankets and small pillows. My crafts area upstairs now has to merge with my laundry room space. Your videos are so helpful. I do plan to purge extras and stuff I don’t use. My sister is starting a homeschool room, for her daughter who just started preschool. I will be giving her some stuff. I took 5 boxes to the thrift store. They are open now. Thanks so much for sharing your tips on organizing. I’m starting my laundry room project today.

    I use my flat iron instead of a curling iron for my ribbon and paper. I create and design handmade journals and dye a lot of paper which leaves it crinkled. I hate to iron and I saw this trick several months ago and it works great! Plus it means I can iron my paper on an as needed basis.

    Have you tried the Tim Holtz guillotine cutter, coupled with a Score Buddy! I’ve found both to be much more accurate! I have both cutters that you’ve recommended, and neither are as accurate!
    As for ribbon scraps, I use paper towel, cardboard rolls for larger ribbon scraps and toilet paper rolls for smaller scraps! And no electricity needed! Only a very small scrap of low tack painters tape is need to keep the scraps adhered on the cardboard rolls! I love your page!!

    Hi Norrine. I do keep all bits of ribbon or twine or anything that ties a present or a purchase. The problem is I rarely use ribbon now on my cards (am trying different styles) so I've got a big box full 😅. I dont have a curling iron but have a hair straightener that works great too. I also use a food scraper but I chose a silicone one and use it often when spreading pastes over stencils ❤

    Love the butcher block paper hack. I have stored my paper scraps almost the same way for years now and by habit, always check it first before cutting a new piece of paper. Will definitely be getting one of those scrappers, loved that idea. My hot glue gun that I had for 25 years died, and must have bought 4 now to try and find one I like almost as good. I am currently using the Surebonder, but it's still not as good as my old gun was. I didn't know old glue sticks could go bad, so learned something today. Can't wait for your glue video.

    I enjoyed this video. The one thing that all of us crafters have in common is that we love our tools. I have the majority of the same tools that you highlighted. In my arsenal you'll also find the Crop-A-Dile Big Bite as well as the punch and eyelet setter. My go to adhesive is glitter glue...more so than my glue gun which is in a drawer ready to be used at a moments notice because it is the Queen of the adhesives. And I can't tell you how much fabric and lace as well as ribbon and trim I have in my collection. I'm so glad that I amassed my collection because when Covid-19 hit... I was completely fine...in my element with all of the things that I needed to continue my crafting uninterrupted.

  • @TheLovelyMissBeans
    @TheLovelyMissBeans 3 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    When purchasing a glue gun, look for one with a stand, its safer to use. Also, if you are using a high heat gun, look for a tip that is metal (copper is best) with silicone around it, not plastic. I see so many glue guns with burn marks around the top casing...how is that safe?!?! Also, if you sometimes use high heat and sometimes low, get 2 different guns rather than one marketed for both...they really don't work as well and you aren't saving an money really.

    To straighten my ribbon I use flat iron I purchased at Goodwill for $2.00. I loved my Cricut Expression. Sold it a couple of years ago to offset the cost of purchasing my Cricut Explorer Air 2 which I use all the time. I purchased the Cricut Joy a couple of months ago. I really love the Joy. I use it when I need to cut out small items.

    Another great tutorial.
    I remember the tutorial you did on the paper organizing and I shared with you then. That same week I found them on clearance at hobby lobby for such a good price....I bought them all. I sorted and not only was it a great idea...it cut down on ALL those small containers ( your previous post😊) sitting on my shelf. I used a file crate and it keeps them organized. If I’m cutting a project and have to stop, I put all the pieces in a sleeve to keep tidy till next time!
    All the ideas were very good.....I keep a rolling pin in my supply area for times when I have large glued paper projects.....works so well.
    Still working on my office area......going to organize my shelves like you did with the handles on the file boxes you have behind you. I’ll review that post and get my supplies for that project together. Definitely looking forward to sharing on your Facebook page. I always take before during and after pics of all my projects.
    As always enjoyed your tutorial today and looking forward to watching the post about the different glues 😊
    🥰🌹🥰

    Up until two months ago my glue gun was 5+ years old. I broke down and bought the Surebonder cordless as the cord has always been my nemesis lol.
    On my Xmas wish list - a Cricut & a Crop-a-Dile.
    Love the curling iron & butcher paper hacks - definitely on my to do list!!!!
    Started using Image Bin after watching your video (TY).
    My humble suggestions:
    Pencil sharpener, Black Mirado Warrior brand #2 pencils, Pentel hi-polymer erasers, My Sweet Petunia 2-pack precision cut-align clear rulers (8" & 15" - they're listed for cardmakers & sewers but I use them for everything), the very fine tip applicator & 2 oz bottle of Art Glitter glue (one time purchase then I refill with Elmer's school glue) and last but not least a $Tree tooth care pack pick (great for those pesky pull pieces of adhesives like foam, labels, etc - my Cricut tool hack lol).

    To answer your first question, yes I keep ribbon from packaging. I love the curling iron idea, though I never would have guessed you had one until I realized I too have curly hair and had a large curling iron for the Farrah look.
    As for the second question. My first glue gun was a Craftsman purchased at Sears because the craft stores hadn't caught on yet. I'm guessing that was 35 years or so ago. It came with wood-glue sticks.
    I have many non typical tools I use in crafting and sewing. Two of my favorites are meant for contractors. I have four metal yard sticks and a large metal T-Square that I use to measure and cut larger pieces of fabric or foamcore.
    Believe it or not, I've had a Silhouette (Cameo 2) for almost five years and have yet to hook it up and use it. I know, shameful.

    Your video got me thinking… Have you tried using your CropADile to extract small sections out of your dimensional adhesive? That way you still have the big piece, as well as, smaller pieces that can be used for smaller areas.

    Well, this is another that HAD to go on my favorites list! I am very anxious to see your adhesive video. As I've been sorting through my boxes of stuff to reorganize my sewing room I've found I have doubles of some glues and others I'd forgotten I had, so MANY! We bought a rolled sheet of copper metal to create a backsplash behind our stove. I plan to create a template before attempting to cut the copper but can't figure out how to attach it. If at some point in the future we want to remove it, I don't want to destroy the drywall taking it off, so glue is out. What would you suggest? As always, thank you for sharing your vast wealth of knowledge and skills with us peons!

    • @TheCraftyOrganizer
      @TheCraftyOrganizer  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Oh..... I'd use the Velcro command strips!!!! Attach the wall side as directed, but attach the other side to the copper with E6000 or Gorilla Glue. Let dry BEFORE you attach to the wall. This will give a super strong hold AND allow you to easily remove when needed.

      The Crafty Organizer , I just used it on a couple of cards I made. Alas I’ve already mailed them. And to decide which scrap page I’ve used it on, No idea it dries clear so you don’t see it. The thing with this is you MUST close it as soon as you use it or it will clog in the lid. But, just run warm water and it desolves. A little bit goes a long way. I watch this lady on you tube. She goes by “MayMay made it so can you”.She has a shop ( small business) I’ve ordered from her before she does mostly cards. Some of her crafts are really good. I would love to send you what I’ve done I can make another card real quick. But, I’m not tech savvy at all and have no idea how to attach to an email🤦🏽‍♀️. Be well be blessed. And I so enjoy your videos.
