A Ballet Slipper

Hello everyone, Leanne here with you today.

I have made a paper ballet slipper that you
can create for a special little one
or someone young at heart to hang on a door handle.

You will need:
Plain or patterned paper
Cardboard: thick and thin
Lace, ribbon and trims
Paper flowers
Embellishments
Glues: I have used the following
Helmar Super Tacky Glue
Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive

A ballet slipper pattern can be found on the internet.

Next trace the sole pattern onto the thick & thin cardboard.
Then trace all of the pattern pieces onto patterned paper.
Then cut out each shape.

Next using the 450 Quick Dry Adhesive, glue the seam together as shown.
This piece is the top part of the slipper.

Then add 450 Quick Dry Adhesive glue to the toe area on the thick cardboard

and glue the toe patterned paper piece to the cardboard toe area as shown.

Then glue down the heel area next,

before working your way around the whole shoe.

Next add Super Tacky glue to the sole as shown.

 

Then adhere the thin cardboard sole piece.
Allow to dry.

Then it is time to decorate with lace, trims and embellishments.

The glues chosen for this project bond and hold really well,
making it easy to adhere all elements precisely and with ease.

So until next time,
Have fun crafting.

 

Jaymi - Simple embellishments using a nesting die.

Hi everyone, it's Jaymi today and I am showing you how to create my favourite simple embellishment. All you need is scrap paper and a nesting die set. I used my star die for this embellishment. I started by cutting out 4 stars to layer on top of each other.

I glued them together with some craft foam using the craft and tacky glue.

I then added a few pieces of ephemera and Pom poms using the craft and tacky glue again and it is finished. I love how these turn out. You can make so many in a a short time frame.

Timeless by Kim Kendell

Hi Helmar Fans I am up on the blog today and am looking forward to sharing this layout with you that I have created, using the awesome Helmar products.

Today's share is a vintage layout that is simple yet very effective. Through out this layout I have used my all time favourite Helmar product Helmar 450 glue, it is an awesome glue that holds absolutely every thing in place.

As you can see in this layout I have lots of chipboard and flowers which are all quite dimensional and these require a glue that has amazing super tack and hold which is why I have chosen Helmar 450 

In the below image you can see how well Helmar 450 works as its not visible once dry as it dries clear. Notice even the chipboard butterfly has no visible glue showing which is what make Helmar 450 the perfect glue for all you fine work.

In the below image  there is no glue mark showing yet I have used Helmar 450 to adhere the chipboard fence and the chipboard words which are all quite fine.  

I hope you have enjoyed my share today and I do hope you find the love of Helmar 450 the same as I do.  

Happy creating.

Flower Power Layout by Amanda

Helllooooo Everyone.....

Today I have my Flower Power Layout

using several of Helmars great adhesives.

Products Used

450 Quick Dry Adhesive

Super-Tac Glue

Gemstone Glue

Crystal Kote Matte Varnish

First off I have chosen a couple of 12 x 12in Papers and cut the top one down

to show the one underneath approx 11.5in all around.

Ink around all the edges and distress the top paper edges.

I have attached the bottom paper with some double sided tape and

Super-Tac Glue to a 12 x 12in piece of Chipboard so that it has a firm backing.

Do the same to attach the top paper and then cut out the

girls head and use the Super-Tac Glue to place her.

I have used the 450 Quick Dry Adhesive to glue on all the flowers

I have created some spatters to colour the flowers and added some dripping also.

Now I have used some Gemstone Glue to adhere the glass beads around the flowers.

Here are some close-ups.

Final;y I have added some word phrases using the

Super-Tac glue to make sure they stay on.

I have coloured her eyes and lips and added some pearls for her

necklace with gemstone glue.

I hope you have enjoyed this project

and are feeling inspired to create

with Helmars fabulous products.
