Helmar + Glitter = My 1st Post

Hello everyone!
I am so thrilled to be here today sharing my first post and project!!! Oh  how excited I was to open my first package of Helmar supplies.

I had a project in mind but it had to be an organizing idea for me. Let me share a few steps along the way to create this glitter organizer.

Just happened to find this package of tall salt and pepper shakers and knew they would be perfect for my glitters.

So the products I used are

Craft Glue 8.45 fl.oz.

450 Quick Dry Adhesive 4.23 fl.oz

Quickfix Adhesive Runner

Decoupage & Craft Paste 8.45 fl.oz.

Zapdots Clear Round 1/4"

 

 How about this, the container was the perfect size and piece to use for keeping all the glass shakers.
I used some of my favorite papers from My Mind's Eye- Lost and Found. I find that the Helmar 450 works fabulous to hold the paper on this cardboard

I used Quickfix Adhesive Runner to attach the vintage trim in the inside and on the outside. I found that using just a small amount of Craft Glue 8.45 fl.oz.on the cut ends of the trim holds them down and prevents them unraveling.I had these wonderful pre-made flowers from my friend Natasha...attached with some Zapdots Clear Round 1/4".

I even used  Craft Glue 8.45 fl.oz to attach the glittered letters so they stay permanently ...I hate when they don't stick .

 I filled all the bottles with different colors using a funnel. It was harder to choose which colors to put into containers.

All I needed to do was label my containers with some baker's twine, I just used some old fashion metal circle tags and wrote the colors. I decided I would use the Decoupage & Craft Paste 8.45 fl.oz. 
to seal the writing just in case it gets wet.

This is just a start of organizing a few of my glitters and I hope to organize many more of them this way. Hope I inspired you to think "outside" or maybe "inside" the box when using Helmar products.
