Okay, it’s not technically a magic trick–but, in my book it is!
I think it ranks up there with my MAT cleaning trick! 🙂 IF you haven’t seen that–it’s a must-see– Just Click here to view it!
If you know me….you know I love Glue Dots. I suspect I spend a small fortune each year on these little blobs of glue!
So, I thought it would be fun and beneficial to make my own Dots of Glue. Yes, I am crazy–my mom taught me at a young age that I could make almost anything myself–and it turns out she was right~
Do you think this is a magic trick you will use?
AWESOME!!!! I am totally going to do this!! Thanks!! 🙂
You never cease to amaze me. Seriously. I wish you were my neighbor and I could keep learning from you all day long.
Thanks Sarah!
Sarah, This is absolutely wonderful!!!! I will be heading to Michaels later to try for myself!!! TFS!

THat is so AWESOMe I am totally going to make these. I have learned soooo much from you thank you.
You’re so CLEVER!!! thanks for sharing!
Sarah I love this idea. I totally agree with your mom. Thanks so much for sharing. I’m getting this stuff. I’ve got a tip for you. I took a index card book put my touchs on it and than I made samples of all my cuttlebugs, borader punches and typed out all the carts I have and I carry it in my purse all the time. I also use it for stuff I need like if I need glue dots or there’s a punch I want I write it down. Cause I’m like a kid in a candy store LOL when I get in the store and see all the stuff I end up getting everything but what I went in there for LOL. I know it may take awhile to get it done, But once you get it done it’s easy to keep up with. Just my little tip for you.
Have a wonderful Day
Debbie

Thank you so much for this very clever idea:)
Love this idea. So Clever. Not so sure about the brake cleaner for cleaning mats. I did one of my really bad ones and all the green came off. I might have done something wrong–guess I might try it one more time on another one.
Oh man I really hope you’re not just now “figuring” this out…I’ve been doing this for ages.
definitely going to do this!!! Thanks!
Great idea!! I love that I have everything I need to make my own glue dots! Thanks so much for sharing this video with us!!!
You are so creative. TFS!!!
Brilliant!! TFS, that can save so much money!!! 🙂
Another great idea!
The green and white also came off my mats using the brake cleaner, but it didn’t seem to matter….
I’m giving it a try. Thanks for sharing this. It sure would save a ton of money cause I go through them like crazy too.
I did know this little trick and love it… try adding some extra fine glitter on it before it dries, and then I use my paper punch.. something sharp to take it off the paper and use it as a sparkly embellishment. 🙂
wait wait.. not my paper punch but my paper piercer.. lol
Amazing. I love it!
Love this quick tip so much I HAD to reshare it on Facebook!! Thanks so much for all of your great ideas.
I wanted to share one with you. Have you ever made your own scratch tickets??
I have a tutorial I wrote for a blog hop I was in. I think you could do something wonderful with this idea!!

you are awesome!!! you are like the Thrifty Scrapper!!! Thank you for Sharing this! you just might be my favorite enabler!
WOW I love this Sara, can’t tell you how much I spend on glue dots, Like the idea of the long skinny ones. Is parchment & wax paper the same thing? Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! very cool – could be useful!

Did you know that you can sprinkle embossing powder on glue dots and get neat accents? Works really well on the large ones. I used copper embossing powder and made my own “copper” brads! lol
That is awesome! I’m gonna have to try this….TFS!
Did you know you can emboss glue dot? I used copper embossing powder and got “copper” brads! lol Neat huh?
You are so smart. We have got to come up with a name for you, right now I just think of you as the Queen of Neat Ideas. Thank you for sharing. I love it when you come up with something like this to make things cheaper for us. Keep those creative juices flowing.
ty so much for the idea. i love it. will try this. xoxo
thank you Sarah you are so amazing really, you come up with some really great ideas I wish I could be like you love all you do Debbie 🙂
This is fantastic! I will definetly do it. I tried the cutting mat thing. I used glue gone and it worked great, but I must have gotten the wrong spray adhesive because it was so sticky I couldn’t get my cuttings off of it. !
Ok, so I watched your video and got all excited because I use glue dots like there’s no tomorrow. Only one problem, no parchment paper. BUT I did have some backing from my transfer tape laying around. It works fabulous. My dots only took about two hours to dry clear and I love them. TFS
I’ve been making my own glue dots like this for almost a year. I LOVE them! I use the backing of stickers or labels – just a way to recycle the stuff.
Does it have to be that brand of glue? Thanks for sharing your ideas!
QUESTION: I would like to try this trick but was wondering how well it glues stuff together. I usually use glue dots when I REALLY need for something to glue and hold real good like ribbon or something that doesn’t glue as good. As the results as good as the store-bought glue dots? Thanks for sharing!
