All about Adhesives!

Hey IBF friends!

March is all about adhesives at I've Been Framed!

If you haven't been in yet to check it out, here are some bits and blips of what has been going on at the store.

Kristi put a lot of effort into a glue chart that will help you see which glues work for gluing certain surfaces and materials. Super helpful and informative. Check it out!

We now have a "Try it" station located by the front door! We love when our customers get to participate and learn about different products with us. There's really no better way than to get your hands in it! But please be careful when handling the broken glass!

This month's try it station features a reclaimed sculpture currently in progress. We have a bin of broken up plates and cups and a bunch of different kinds of glues. Come help us piece together what will be the fabulous GLUE TROPHY! 

It's growing everyday!

Here we have IsaBellaFunk modeling a fabulous neck piece made out of hot glue! 

She's such a fashionista!

Here are some other hot-glue sculptures we have hanging above our display!

We are also hosting a contest!

Got some good glue tips and tricks? We'd like to know! We are running a contest until the end of the month at the shop. The rules? write down your best glue tip on a piece of paper. It can be for any kind of glue.. any tip or trick you know that is clever (see example below). Drop your paper complete with glue advice, your name and contact info into our contest entry box (located at the front of the store). We will chose a winner at the end of the month! The winner will receive the glue trophy and a glue goody bag. All of the tips and tricks entered will be displayed in the glue section of our store for all to see! Good luck and thanks in advance for all of you participants!

Example glue tip:

To make the annoying glue strings dissapear after using a hot glue gun. After your project is complete, get out your hair dryer and blast the project with a bit of hot air for a few seconds and watch the strings disappear  Be careful not to use the hair dryer for too long or else you might reheat the hot glue and ruin your project.

So that's only some of the sticky fun that we have going on at the shop. If any of this interests you, come on down and check it out! We'd love to talk glue with you. If you have any questions please call or come in and talk to one of our friendly and informative associates!
