Sharing the uncoventional

Hello, it is Arin again and I am pulling away from my little oasis I call my craft room to share with you a couple of ways you can use Globecraft & Piccolo's Embossing Powders that are not your average conventional ways you would use them.

First you can upgrade a plain MDF craft letter to having a rustic full metal jacket look by applying Piccolo Embossing Powder Adhesive in a dabber bottle and then dusting it with Piccolo Vintage Silver Embossing Powder, shaking off the excess and setting it with a heat gun.   

This next idea came to me as I was crunched for time and needed to add a little bling to my home-crafted felt roses. I did not have time to wait for glue and glitter to set and dry and I thought about applying some embossing powder to it. It worked!

All I did was take a small Q-tip like brush and dip it into the Piccolo Embossing Powder Adhesive and applied it to various areas around the felt rose. I then dusted those areas with Piccolo Siam Silver Embossing Powder and brushed off the excess and slowly heated the area with a heat gun (take care in this step to not get the felt too hot, or it will melt).  

As you can see, Piccolo Embossing Powders not only add a level of elegance and beauty to a project, they can also act as a great staple in any crafter's supply stash.
