A glue gun is an integral part of the arsenal of fans of DIY and home decor. There is so much can be done with them to help us show off our creative sides. However, as well as being a handy ally during creative moments, it can also save your life in other common ways. Of course, speaking of saving lives might be a little extreme, but wait until you hear the unprecedented and amazing ways a simple glue gun can be used!
1) A tray for cleaning makeup brushes
With any type of flexible material (or silicone), create a tool that will be well known to make up lovers (but usually at an elevated price!) The rough ridges created by the glue gun allow you to scrub the hairs of your makeup brushes and remove all residue.
2) To hang things on the walls without drilling large holes
If you prefer not to make holes in the walls (especially if you are renting), you can try out this technique that allows you to easily pin notes and designs on the wall, without risk of damaging it.
3) Give the soles of shoes better grip by writing your children’s names on them in glue
4) No more will your clothes be destroyed, with these anti-slip zig-zags glued to the hanger!
5) To hang a banner or another temporary display (posters, designs, etc.)
Stick a little masking tape to protect the wall and apply some glue to the tape. Stick whatever you like to the wall using the glue. It’s more durable and looks better than using sellotape.
6) For children who dream of being tap dancers, here’s how to create their own tap shoes to keep them amused!
7) For squeaky bath toys
Have you noticed that these toys let water in but never let it out again? To prevent them from getting mouldy and to keep them hygienic, a little dab of glue closes up the hole.
8) A rug that never stays in place
9) A few dots of glue on each of the four corners of a picture frame stops it from moving. Your pictures will stay in place no matter what happens.
