How about a Quickie!

I bet I got your attention! What I'm referring to is the Sakura Quickie Glue pen!  This pen is one of the best paper crafting tools out there.  If you aren't familiar with it you soon will be.

Basically, it's a pen filled with glue.  It looks just like a pen and works just like a pen BUT there is no ink, just a nice fine line of liquid glue.  The glue is tinged blue but dries clear.  I'm thankful that it is tinged blue because otherwise I wouldn't be able to see it without double strength reading glasses.  It dries quickly but it allows you plenty of time to get your bling or embellishment on.  If you use more than just a line or drop of the liquid glue it may take longer to dry. For me personally I've only had it take a couple of minutes at the most.

I reach for this glue pen constantly.  I use it for small areas that I want to add chalk, glitter or flocking to.  It's wonderful if you want to outline or write something because it works just like a pen.  I love it for attaching small embellishments and it's great for ribbon too.  Draw the line, stick down that ribbon - your done!

This pen is inexpensive, a plus we can all like!  I've seen it marked anywhere from $3.50 to $1.99.  Mostly it is sold in single packages, but sometimes it comes with three in the package.  I'm sure that you can find higher prices and maybe lower prices if you do a little searching.  Believe me you will use every single drop, I suggest you get more than just one.

I always have around five of the Quickie glue pens open and laying around my work space.  I tend to lose things when I'm working. Technically, they aren't really lost, they are just buried under all the 'stuff' I have spread out all over in my craft room.  When I'm creating, things get messy but I tell myself that it's O.K. because creative minds tend to clutter!

Happy Crafting!
