    for the Elmers School glue? I've seen that tute a few times where she uses the glue to secure the binding and it looks like a great idea since my pinning seems to distort a bit. Anyway, I have the glue but can't find the metal tip. Hobby Lobby, Michael's, and WalMart all sell one for decorating a cake but it doesn't fit the glue bottle. I know, I'm having a "challenging" moment here. Help please. What am I missing?

    I think you can get them from Sharon Schamber's website.

    OR you can buy liquid Elmer's glue in a tube. I have done both.

    I finally found mine at Michaels. Someone on the board took a basketball needle to put air in balls. She put it in the tip of a bottle and then cut the tip off. Go to search and see if you can find it. I will also check.

    Michaels, Joann's, Walmart are all way cheaper than some online sources. Really anywhere that sells the little bottles of acrylic paint. The kind you use for tole painting, Apple Barrel is one brand name, and I think Plaid is another. They are in a card hanging up by these paints.

    I bought mine for less than $5 and there are 3 metal tips and two plastic ones to a package. I screw on a plastic one to the glue bottle and then the smaller metal one on that.

    Thank you all for the ideas. I didn't think of looking at anything other that what that lady was using and I couldn't figure it out. These bottles look like a good idea also. Thanks so much!

    Elmers School Glue is also much less expensive than some of the others available. I use it all of the time, and it works great! :D:D:D

    After I bought the tips, I was very careful with just the Elmers top that comes on the glue. I didn't have a problem. I just didn't open it up all the way. It just let a very small amount out at once.
