Even More Cool Ways to Use Stickles

I had posted about ways to use Stickles in a previous post and found that the link to the video no longer works, so I thought I would do an updated post on all the different ways you can use Stickles.

Stickles is a glitter glue that is manufactured by Ranger and come in tons of different colors. It has a fine tip so you can actually write with it, do fine-detailing, or you can really spread it around to cover a larger area. Stickles are the best scrapbook investment because for under $2 you can get a 0.5 ounce bottle that will last for many, many projects. Stickles is also acid-free and non-toxic so it is safe to use in your scrapbooks.

Some of the my favorite ways to use Stickles are listed below:

• Stamp a word then Stickles over it
• Use it for the center of a flower instead of a brad
  
• Accentuate part of a pattern on your patterned paper (i.e. if the paper has flowers you could outline some with Stickles)
• Lightly apply Stickles to your fabric flowers to make them sparkle
• Apply Stickles to your ribbon
• Use Stickles as a glue to glue down a transparent item like Heidi Swapp Ghost Shapes or Tim Holtz Fragments
• Use it to give a little bling to embellishments (i.e. add a little Stickles to a stamped image or sticker to make one little piece "pop")
• Write names on Christmas Stockings!
  
• Add some Bling to Cricut cutouts
  

Tips on Working with Stickles:
Clogged tip - use a needle and push it down the opening to clear out the clog
If you are HEAVY on the stickles and you put a TON on a page - let it dry for several hours, maybe even overnight! You can use a heat gun if you are in a rush.
Not sure which color to get - start with a clear one like Icicle or Diamond, these colors will just add sparkle to whatever you are using it with and the color will show through it. Then you can go crazy with all the other colors available!

Examples:


Stickles Titles - Stickle over a stamped word



Stickles for Center of Flowers



Stickles to make an Embellishment "pop"

Cool Ways to use Stickles

What's a Stickles you ask?! Well, it is the best little glitter glue combo on the market. Stickles are made by Ranger and they come in 0.5 oz squeeze bottles with a small tip that is great for writing. They are acid-free, non-toxic, and perfect for adding some "sparkle" to your scrapbook pages!

Some Tips and Hints for Stickles are:

• Use Stickles over a stamped word to make it Sparkle
• Do not use Stickles over water-based markers - it will make the marker run
• Stickles takes a long time to dry - so let it sit for a couple hours or overnight (depending on how thick you put it on!)
