I've seen the use of Elmer's washable school glue used in a variety of ways. Every time, the Youtube demonstrators had a bottle with a metal tip. Are these bottles bought or made? If made, how is it done?
Thank you.

You can buy the metal tips for the glue bottles. Its just I can't remember where to tell you where I've seen them. :oops:

I think Michael's carries them if I remember correctly from previous posts. Try the search feature and see if you can find the posts already made on this topic. :-D

I need a small tip too. I thought someone said Staples had them.

at one time walmart had them also

you can get them from Sharon Schamber.co

Any place that sells hunting/archery equipment or a hobby shop that has stuff to make the little model trains or doll houses should have the tips. You can also get them from Sharon Schambers website as a PP said however I have NEVER seen them in stock there!

There are two pieces a plastic piece that gets screwed onto the bottle itself and then the metal tip that goes over that.

I just don't open the orange screw cap up all the way! lol

Here's some more tips on the tips I found :-)

I use mine with just the tip on the bottle as you only use dots of glue. I love to do my binding with glue because when you sew the final seam no pins or corners to struggle with. And for what it's worth, I do have the metal tip from when I was doing decorative painting, but prefer the other way best.

I have found them on Darhma Trading

I got mine from JoAnn Fabric's website....

thank you all so much. I've got a quilt ready to bind and can't wait to use it.

I found the tips at Michael's in wood craft area. However, I wouldn't waste my $. Tips are tiny & hard to clean. Works just as well to use small beads of glue. Love this binding method.

I found them at Michaels, Joanns and other chain stores. Look where they sell the little bottles of acryric paints, like Apple Barrel.
They are on a card, 3 metal tips and 2 plastic ones for less than $5. They will fit on all sizes of Elmer's glue bottles that I have tried so far :D:D:D

To clean the metal tip, I use a pin first and then soak them for a few minutes in boiling hot water. Then a toothpick to take out the bigger pieces of glue, and then run it under hot water. It only takes a few minutes :wink:
