Hot Glue and Alcohol Ink Tutorial

This is the technique I used on the June Front Porch Kit layout -
A Place in the Sun. 
It is for the blue wave pattern you see going across the two pages.  You will see below you can form the hot glue into any shape you wish.  

 Supplies:

Craft mat that will hold up to hot glue - I used the Ranger mat

Hot glue gun

Ranger Alcohol Inks

Pencil

Ranger Glossy Accents

Draw your shape on the craft mat or go freestyle

Squirt hot glue over the shape - I found this works on larger patterns but is difficult to control on finer details

Let the hot glue cool - this only takes a few minutes

Stem and leaf pattern

Flower pattern

Scroll pattern

Flourishy Pattern

Side view so you can see how much glue

Now dab with alohol inks

Peel from mat

Finished Product will be attached to project with Glossy Accents

Make sure you check out the great projects at The Little Blue House and check out the gallery and projects at Front Porch Kits and the new Front Porch Kits Blog.
Hope you enjoyed this tutorial. Have fun trying different shapes and post and let me know what magical glue designs you create.  The Howell family is heading north to Michigan for a Family and Friends Fourth of July.  Stay safe and God Bless the USA and our Troops
