How to make a tape nozzle for Glue Bottle

There’s no need to buy two bottles of glue for different craft projects. To create a temporary fine line tip for a glue bottle, all you need is tape!  This will allow you to create fine lines  for the Embossing with Glue projects I showed today on Cool2Craft.

Here it is!!!

Have fun with and and don’t forget to send me photos of your projects     heidi@ecoheidi.com

Instructions:

  1. First, cut off about ¼” from the tip of the glue bottle nozzle. Next, referring to the diagrams, wrap a 4” long piece of transparent tape around the tip of the nozzle. This tip will give you a finer line of glue than the nozzle and can be disposed of when you are finished using it.
  2. Align one long edge of tape with top edge of nozzle as shown. Press tape firmly to nozzle to prevent leaks.How to Make a Tip for Glue Bottle 1

  4. Continue rotating bottle and wrapping tape until the tape reverses direction and winds back down toward the bottle.How to Make a Fine Tip for Glue Bottle 3
