How did I get such a fine line of glue on the end of my quilling strip? In the next series of posts, I'm going to delve into how I do things on a microscopic level and show you step-by-step photos and thoughts. You may have seen me use this fine-tip glue bottle before. It allows me to put down a thin line of glue on a piece of plastic. After the glue dries, I can easily flake it off and re-use the plastic again. I got mine at Michael's years ago, but haven't seen it around in a while. I've seen a similar bottle sold by Quilled Creations . I typically use Aleene's Acid-free Tacky Glue because it's thick and dries clear, quickly. Then I simply "skinny dip" my end into the glue line and voila! It's very easy to control this way because the depth of my glue is extremely shallow. Just let the end kiss the glue. There is no need to jam it into the glue until you touch plastic. This glue dries quickly, so here is a shot of the end when the glue is starti...

Don't you just love how nature supplies the perfect color palette? Anemone flowers have so many variations that I never get tired of looking at my finished blossoms. My favorite part is how the center dome is covered in what looks at first to be pollen. They are great as table setting decor or as a 3D greeting card. Can you imagine using this on top of gift boxes instead of a bow? I'd have a hard time opening my gift. I teach how to make these anemone flowers in my Craftsy class, Quilled and Sculpted Cards , as well as 6 other lessons. To celebrate Black Friday, ALL their classes $19.99 or less! It's the best deal of the year and you can watch whenever you like because it'll never expire.
