Wall Decor With Sticky U

Happy Sunday, fellow crafters!

It was quite a thrill to be asked to join the alum at

TOMBOW's STICKY UNIVERSITY

www.tombowusa.com

The task: use Tombow's Xtreme Permanent Adhesive

to create a project of my choice!

Let me preface by saying that I wasn't a stranger to the Xtreme adhesive

before beginning this project... I all ready knew that this was the ultimate in

permanent adhesives!  But, being that the adhesive is so tenacious I was happy

to learn a little tidbit that may go unnoticed on the back of the product packaging:

Roll to apply and then swipe the tip to the side for a clean break.

I purchased this set of pre-cut wooden letters at Michael's for my daughter's room.

I chose three different patterns of black & white patterned papers by Doodlebug Design.

After tracing the letters onto the patterned paper and cutting out, 

I applied the Xtreme Permanent Adhesive around the edge of each wood piece.

The letters will be hanging on her wall for the foreseeable future, so I wanted

to use an adhesive that I knew wouldn't give-way after a month or two!

I added some sequins and rhinestones to each letter and also added baker's twine 

around the edge of the letters; this helps to give a clean, finished look!

To do so, I used Tombow's Glue Pen...just use the glue pen as you would a 

writing pen and draw a line of glue around the edge of the letter.  

Press the baker's twine into the glue and hold for a few seconds to secure in place.

I attached a length of ribbon tot he back of each letter for hanging.

Lastly, let me share a photo of me in my SU t-shirt and holding my diploma!
