Looking for new ways to use your glue gun? How about a glue gun pitcher like no other? This technique can be used to deboss a wide variety of items around our home. A new technique to turn trash into treasure and you are going to love it!
Especially when I say I made it from this…
…using a glue gun…yes a glue gun. I got this idea from Make the Best of Things. You will need:
- hot glue gun and glue
- tissue paper
- fleur de lis on paper
- mod podge
- your pitcher (any pitcher that needs rescued!)
I just cut out my fleur de lis and used it as a template to get my glue on. Yes hot glue right on that pitcher in a fleur de lis shape. You can of course use any shape you would like for this step. What is something you truly love? A monogram? A cow silhouette? The possibilities are endless!
Allow to dry completely and then spray paint. You will probably have to allow to dry at least overnight.
Now I stopped here cause I love it just like it is. You can keep going like Make the Best of Things and add some darker paint to highlight. So whaddya think? Like, love, hate? Still think I am crazy? What will you rescue with your hot glue gun?

Angie, that is really really cool!!! 🙂 I’ll admit that the hot glue by itself was pretty “eew,” but the finished product is awesome. 🙂 Visiting from The CSI Project! 🙂
That is a wonderful project! Thank you for sharing it! I’m thinking it would make for some pretty great Christmas gifts here.
