About Nanetta Bananto Expertise I can answer questions pertaining to polymer clay: dollmaking, jewelry, candleholders, etc. I can give advice for children`s craft as well as fine art with polymer clay.
Experience I have worked in polymer clay for about 15 years. I have sold my work for about 15 and work in this medium almost daily. My book, "Creative Techniques for Polymer Clay Jewelry" by North Light Books, will be released June 2005.
Question I would like to glue sequins or something like that to our white pillar candles. It's our 25th wedding anniversary and since silver candles are not available right now, I thought I would glue something silvery on the candles. Is there some kind of glue I could purchase for this? Would there be anything available at Michael's?
Answer Dear Delia - I suggest you use Sticky Wax. It comes in a little tin. It is used to keep candles upright as well as keeping miniatures from moving on shelves or in a dollhouse. Use the tiniest bit. If you are gluing on sequins, a toothpick should work to apply the wax. On the opposite end (or use another toothpick), apply just enough wax to cover the tip of the toothpick. Then touch it to a soft cloth to lessen the stickiness. Use this one to pick up and apply the sequins. You should be able to put them on without any wax residue.
By the way, I ran across a site for sequins that is out of this world! They have an incredible selection, great prices and an unusual selection. Check them out!
