Once a month, our friends, Craft Box Girls, go live on our Facebook page, to teach viewers some fun crafts featuring one of our glues!  This month, Lynn taught viewers how to make three sparkly crafts with Beacon Gem-Tac.  She walked us through how to make a keychain, make up bag and a terra cotta pot.  Also, did you notice the new label?!  We decided to give you all a sneak peek on the new Gem-Tac label that will be out soon.  Follow along below to learn how to make these three crafts yourself.  Let’s get started!

Step 3: Use a paint pen and trace the nose and mouth of your face.

Step 4: Put a dab of Gem-Tac into your paint pallet.  Then, using your tweezers, pick up your gem/crystal and lightly dab it into the Gem-Tac.

Step 5: Glue your gems/crystals onto the eyes you drew onto the terra cotta pot.  Make sure they are somewhat even and wait until it is fully dry before using it.

Step 6: Add faux plants or real plants inside your terra cotta pot as the hair!

Note: Gem-Tac is a permanent adhesive that goes on white but dries clear.  It’s one of the only adhesives that is suitable for applying mirror backed stones, as the glue won’t warp or alter the appearance of gems or rhinestones.  It is non-toxic and unlike other craft glues on the market, Gem-Tac does NOT contain PERC, otherwise known as a carcinogen.
