August Technique class - Stickles!!




Who remembers playing with glitter as a child? Remember how you would end up with glitter everywhere? You won’t have that problem with Stickles!! It’s a wonderful glitter glue that keeps the glitter where you want it! This month we are going to explore the uses of Stickles. It comes in too many colors to count and even in colors to match your Distress Inks! We will talk about the different kinds and I will even have some samples of several so you can see the difference. The first layout is titled “Off We Go” so bring 4-6 photos of a fun vacation. (You will get to choose between a plane, car, or truck chipboard shape). The second layout is titled “Cute”. It was originally meant to be a pet layout but can be just about anything you want it to be. Bring 4 4x6 photos of friends, family, pets, or just about any photos you have that makes you think “cute!!” One bottle of Stickles will be included in your class kit.

Please remember your basic class supplies:
12 inch trimmer
Scissors
Ruler
Tweezers
Wet and dry adhesive
Craft knife
Black pen

***You will also need your black and brown inks and sponges or Tim Holtz ink applicator, craft mat, pop dots (also known as 3D Dots). Paint will be available for use and a bottle of Stickles will be included in your kit.***
