Helmar Blog Hop featuring Acid Free Glue

Welcome to the Helmar Blog Hop!  I am honored and excited to feature Helmar's Acid Free Glue...

This is one of my most favorite adhesives!  It was originally made for book binding so it is strong, acid free, does not yellow and does not buckle your paper.  It is perfect for all those Altered Art projects.  Today I want to show some quick and easy techniques using this awesome adhesives. 

For my first project I purchased this inexpensive recycled journal. 
 
  
Since I have to pretty everything up, I immediately turn to my Acid Free Glue.  I quickly gathered products from some of my favorite manufacturers:

• Nikki Sivils, "UR Pretty" Patterned Paper
• Creative Impressions Ribbon, Bling & Blossoms & Leaves
• Magic Mesh

Now remember the idea is quick and easy so I simply place a thin layer of Acid Free Glue on the outside face of the journal.  Helmar sells a handy little glue spreader or I use an inexpensive foam brush to get that thin layer.  When I am done with the brush I simply rinse it off and it is ready to re-use. 
 

I finished the project by adding the ribbon, Magic Mesh, Flowers & Bling to create this adorable journal:
 
 
You know all those restaurant coasters?  Cover them, alter them, Acid Free Glue them! 
 
What a great inexpensive album but don't tell your local restaurants I suggested you borrow their coasters.

How about this inexpensive frame.........Acid Free Glue it
 
 

Chipboard embellishments......Acid Free Glue them.  Your crop buddy.......Acid Free Glue her.  Ok, forget that last one.  I am getting carried away but you get the idea.
