Hi everyone, it's Sandee here with my first Helmar Design Team post, bringing you a easy gift idea for the upcoming holidays. A sewing box, made sew easy with Helmar Adhesives.
I love to re-cycle, up-cycle and re-purpose just about anything and today my project begins with a discarded ribbon card board tube and a foam insert that you find in your package of brads. So the first thing I did was to paint the cardboard and cut the foam into a circle.
Using Helmar's Craft & Hobby PVA Glue I attached the paper to the cardboard tube. This glue truly grabs hold and secures the paper, even along a round shape.
Then I added ribbon around the box, leaving one side open. You need a strong glue like Helmar's Fabric Glue to make sure the ribbon holds up to the opening andclosing of the box.
I used Helmar's Foam Glue to attach the ribbon onto the foam.
I attached the foam pin cushion to the top of the box, again with Helmar's Foam Glue.
There are 12 thin layers of flowers secured with Helmar's Fabric Glue and a dollop of Helmar's 450 Quick Dry Adhesive which holds the gold bead in the center of the flower and holds the flower onto the foam base.
I love that Helmar's 450 Quick Dry Adhesive dries to a crystal clear finish because, sometimes, what you don't see is the most important part of your artful creation!
