Welcome to Day 2 of our i-bond feature.
We've got another day full of beautiful creations so let's get right to it.
Treat Box
I love to make 3D project using my Silhouette but the problem I always had with them was that they never were really sturdy until I started using my I Bond. The I Bond seals all the edges and I know they are not going to fall apart like normal adhesive. Today I have an apple treat box using the Good Dog collection. I cut the shape out on my Silhouette and then used the I Bond to glue the box together. I know that whatever I put in it it will stay together and not fall apart. I have a little video on how I made this cute little box.
Mary Pat has also created a video of her project. You can check it out on youtube.

Popsicle Cutie
The i-bond is the perfect adhesive for all of your heavier embellishments! I wanted to create a layout of my daughter and her love for popsicles last summer, and I thought by adding some fun popsicle sticks would be a perfect touch! I used some Distress stains on the wooden popsicle sticks to give them some color, and then created a patterned border. The i-bond was perfect for getting the popsicle sticks to quickly and neatly!

I also wanted to create a popsicle as an embellishment. I used some Distress Ink and Shimmerez Spritz to green the limeade popsicle on a piece of neutral color fabric. I then freehand cut a popsicle like shape from cardboard.
I then used the i-bond to adhere the fabric tightly around the cardboard popsicle. The i-bond worked perfectly to secure the fabric in place and was dry in seconds!
Finally, I added a popsicle stick to the back of the popsicle.

Thinking of You Card
I love glue. I have many different types for different uses, but sometimes I really need something that has a strong hold, but without the mess of super glue (my sticky fingers can attest to that!) I love the i-Bond because hot glue is such an excellent adhesive. But, I thought I'd try to do something a little different with it to really show off how great this little tool is.
As an experiment, I "shot" some glue onto a craft sheet (you can get these at your local craft store) which would allow the glue to harden but also allow me to remove it. I used the Mini Glitter Glue Sticks to create some little "rose buds".
To start, I began with just a small dab of glue -- it doesn't have to be perfect.
Then, I swirled the glue around the center, similar to frosting a cupcake, and built a little "bud".
In just a minute, I had sweet little blooms that added some wonderful dimension to my project.
