Art Glue Gun idea: Personalise your mail

Craft Glue Gun idea: Colour the rainbow
Get playful with your glue gun. Choose a selection of your favourite shades of colouring pencils and carefully position them in a row. Use a Bostik Hot Melt Glue Gun to place two or three lines of glue across the row of pencils to join them – going back and forth to create thick lines of glue. Once dry, start drawing with your pencils to create some multi-coloured fun!
Art Glue Gun idea: Create a collage canvas
Take a small, square canvas and whatever materials inspire you; it might be colourful pom poms, buttons or ribbons, or natural materials like tiny shells, dried flowers or leaves. Spend a little time arranging them on the canvas and then lift each one to add a dot of glue to the canvas underneath from your Bostik Hot Melt Glue Gun. Press each object into place, and voila - your very own miniature work of art!
