How to Get Rid of Hot Glue Strings

Happy Happy Wednesday to you! Today I’m sharing a quick craft tip that I use all.the.time. Its been talked about on the Craftaholics Anonymous® Facebook page a few times and is very helpful. I’m all about helping enable crafters and helping others, so I thought it would be fun to have a discussion on here about crafting tips and tricks.

craft tipAs we all know, whenever you craft with hot glue, you are bound to get glue strings everywhere! Many entries into the ‘You Know You’re a Craftaholic When…’ contests include hot glue strings. So we all know it is an issue for crafters everywhere.

How to Make Hot Glue Strings Disappear

You can also use a heat embossing gun as well.
