    Default Another use for Elmer's glue

    I had one of those aha moments yesterday. I was getting ready sew some buttons on my son's shirt. I have struggled with keeping the button in the proper place while sewing. BUT, I put some glue down, positioned the buttons, waited for it to dry and voila, perfectly positioned and quickly done.
    I still think we need to have stock in this company.

    I buy a bottle of Elmer's washable glue every time I go to the store. I don't want to run out. I bought a gallon of it but it was too much hassle to refill the smaller bottles and just as cheap to buy the bottles of it at Walmart. I like the small child size bottles. Easier to handle and more precise application.

    Good idea using the small bottles. I like to stock up at the back to school sales.
