wood scw and placed it over top next I poured the hot wax into each glass and let it cool we are going to make some beautiful home decor items using clear Elmer's Glue we are going to fill this vase with the clear glue then we're going to add in some clear and white decorative Pebbles now I'm going to grab some faux flowers now I'm just going to stick these into that glue once you've got them arranged just right set this aside and let it [Music] dry quick trip to my local dollar armor separate the layers cut the napkins so that you have enough to cover the body of the jar now I'm using some clear glue mixed with a tiny amount of water painted onto the side of the glass jar then lay down the paper nut and then using a piece of scrunch dark plastic wrap use that to pat down the napkin and eliminate any wrinkles that way draw around the lid because that will be the right size and cut out the piece of napkin Stick it to the bottom of the jar in the same way using the same process cut out a circle for the top and a little strip for the edge and stick it in place when it was dry I decided to give it two coats of a gloss varnish I have taken a battery operated Puck Light and stuck it into the lid of the glass [Music] jar we need a skinny roll of tape and we also need some clear Elmer's glue and our template for today is going to be an outside window we got to put some of that tape on the window now you can go ahead and take the tape and mask it to the grid that's already on the window or you can just go random like I'm doing it but the next step to this is way to grab that Elmer's Glue once we get some paint in there all you got to do is just go back and forth with it and it shakes up really nice next move on to your second color these are four colors we're going to go with now because it's on the Elmer's Glue it's actually non-toxic and I used a foam brush to transfer it to the window it's going to take multiple coats but the glue and the paint dries really fast you can actually put a coat on within an hour after you put on once it dries overnight you're going to take a knife and very gently we don't want to scratch the window if you try to pull the tape with it out using the knife it may pull the glue off just go ahead and start pulling the tape off it's another thing when you're done with this and you want to change it or just take it off later it peels right off we are going to grab a couple glass mason jars you're going to grab a small dish and you're going to fill it with clear glue in a little bit of water I used about 2 tbsp of glue and about about 1 tbsp of water then I'm going to drop in a little bit of food coloring then Stir It Up Until it's mixed really well grab your mason jar make sure it's nice and clean pour that dark blue mixture into the jar and swirl it around so it covers everything once you swirled it all around you can dump the excess back into the original container now we want to let this drip for a little bit let it drip for about 10 minutes take a paper towel wipe off any excess drips that are around the rim of the jar then place this upside down on a piece of parchment paper pop it in your oven at 175 for about 20 minutes after 20 minutes take it out turn it right side up and let it cool completely I'm going to take the piece of glass out and I'm going to draw a grid of squares and rectangles with black puffy paint when that's done I want to let that dry completely I'm going to use a little bit of clear glue and a few drops of paint so on that piece of glass where we added the puffy paint when it's completely dry I'm just going to use a popsicle stick and transfer some of those beautiful blue colors onto the glass but a little goes a long way because you don't want this to run over the black line once everything is done you can grab a toothpick and go back and just pop any of those bubbles that are in there then set this aside and just let it be grab some Elmer school glue for this rener friendly project first I gave my window a really good cleaning grab some masking tape to mask out an abstract design and then I'm going to take my Elmer's glue and pour it straight into the tray then I just rolled my glue onto the window I removed that masking tape before the Elmer's Glue could dry the carpet in my office needed to be replaced but it just wasn't in the budget but corn and crumpled paper was mixing equal parts of glue and water I made the paste for the floor using a wide paint brush I applied the glue to the floor making sure I got underneath the baseboards then I laid down the paper and brushed the glue on top I continued to apply the glue to the floor then the torn paper and then more glue over top of the torn paper I switched out my brush for a foam roller to cover larger areas but I kept the brush to use underneath the baseboard after the glue dried I applied stain to the floor using a foam roller after the stain dried I applied coat after coat of polyurethane using a lamb's wool applicator made this process so easy I made a trip to my local Dollar Store taking a terracotta pot I draw a very random shape taking the clear glue I pour some onto the side of the pot picking up some of the blue gravel and press it down I then put some of the silver glitter glue around the edge I'm going to stick these grasses and weeds to this glass cut off these extra bits on the bottom now I'm going to stick the tissue paper to the bars and I'm going to use a glue stick and then just rolling it pulling it tight on this side some more glue down and gently stick that in place too I'm going to go around and just trim head to the thrift store and pick up a set of matching glasses I'm grabbing a block of candle wax I'm going to take this all to the stove let it melt completely I'm going to set it aside and let it cool going to add Wix to these glasses now I can pour the wax into each candle and I'm going to let this set for a full 24 hours grab a Candlestick grab yourself a little container and pour in some mod podage then you're going to add a few drops of food coloring and just apply a coat over the entire outside of the Candlestick now I'm going to add a little bit of blue and then make another Candlestick Side Glass is covered just set these aside for an hour to so we're going to start with this cellophane piece here so I'm going to make the lines here go ahead and cut this put a clear dot or you could run a clear line and next I'm going to go ahead and place the celophane onto the glue and glass so I'll go ahead and continue putting the glue and the celophane up on all the [Music] blenders so I put two spoons of corn starch and two spoons of Elmer's glue and that's what we're looking for I'm going to use this really Lov L mandala stencil going very carefully I'm now going to apply it the whole stencil is covered and now for the Moment of Truth very very very carefully lift this off this is the next day now I left it overnight to dry also sanded it very lightly okay just going to give it one coat going to leave that to dry now I took the table apart separating the glass from the metal ring laid the glass on top of the mixure I mixed two parts white glue to one part Black Craft paint I outlined the Sun and once the lines had dried I cleaned up any lines that were too thick by cutting them away using a utility knife I painted the background using a 1in wide brush I added designs to each panel I gave the paint two coats of spray sealant I used a medium grit sanding sponge I painted the metal bright blue [Music] he
