Glubers!!!

Hi Everyone...
    I'm back with some more Victoria Gardens by Echo park and ... wait for it... a GLUBER TUTORIAL!!  Now you may be asking yourself, "What on earth is a Gluber?"  Think Uber Glue dot.  The folks over at Cosmo Cricket came up with the fabulous idea of creating glue dots that come in a variety of large sizes from 1" to 3".

 
 Now what would you do with an uber glue dot??  Make flowers!  There are so many different ways to use them, and I'm only showing you one way today, but the uses are only limited by your imagination.  

    For my tutorial today, we're going to make a loopy flower using seam tape that I dyed with Glimmer Mist and a 2" Gluber.

 

First, you peel off one side of the plastic covering the Gluber.  Try to avoid touching the Gluber, you may never un-stick your finger!

 

To start, place the end of the seam tape about 1/4" into the gluber. 

 

Make a loop that goes about 1/2" outside the gluber and bring the tape back onto the gluber and stick down.  Continue doing this all the way around the gluber. Try to keep the loops somewhat even, but they don't need to be perfect.

 

Once you've completed the outer circle, start another loopy circle just inside the outer circle.  Continue going around like this until you've reached the center of the gluber.

 
 

Once at the center, cut the tape.  To finish the loopy flower, add some bling or a button to the center.

 

To adhere the gluber flower to your layout, you just need to peel the backing off and stick to your layout. 
 
I hope I've inspired you to try glubers... I've been hooked since day one, they are so much fun.  Stop by Right at Home to get yours soon!
