Found - a new use for vinegar!

tru

Mix 2 parts PVA glue to 1 part vinegar, add vanilla flavouring (cos it tastes vile if you don't) and you get - drum roll please - envelope glue

jaybee

Can you tell me how to make envelopes, then, please?!

And - how did you find this out????

tru

I bought these, I was cutting my own templates which were OK but the bought ones have a better shape.

I found the glue recipe by searching on google but I can't find the site again There's another recipe here (scroll down, it's near the bottom) but the other one's quicker and cheaper to make.

Quackers

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Stop it now!


eeerrrrmmmm, is it any good for sunburn?

see, I knew I should have done housework but how often does the sun shine? me and my book just wanted to make the most of it - at least its only one side of me thats burnt :rotfl:

tru

Don't be silly Quackers, what on earth makes you think an envelope template will help sunburn? :rolleyes:

Nice one

jaybee - you don't *have* to buy envelope "templates" if you only want to make the occasional one or two .. simply open out any envelopes that come in your mail, glue it to some card (empty cereal box?) cut out and use that as your "template" to make your own.

tru

I should have said how I made them - thanks Queenie :T

I use the bought templates because I sell handmade cards and I wanted the envelopes to be absolutely perfect with nice rounded edges

Mr troo keeps going " :rolleyes: if you spend too much time making the things :rolleyes: you won't have time to sell them :rolleyes: "
And I say "this is MY thing, I'll do it MY way, would you stop interfering and would you STOP ROLLING YOUR EYES"

You know I just knew I wanted to spend today doing something useful

Does this glue work on sealing up cheeky children's mouths

No, you need gripfill for that
