How to
glue
and clamp
small
p.uts
Making several copies of each
ornament design leaves
you
with
lots of little
parts
to hold in
place
while the
glue
dries. Spring-type
clothespins, as shown in the
photo,
right,
do the
trick. You
can
buy
enough
to
clamp up a
tableful
of
ornaments
for
just
a
few
dollars.
Apply
glue
with a fine-tipped
plastic
glue
injector,
as shown. This allows
you
to
lay
down fine dots and beads
of
glue,
avoiding squeeze-out.
