Blog Candy is now closed but comments are still welcomed.
Welcome to Helmar USA Design Team 1st ever Blog Hop! Helmar’s Design Team has created some unique dimensional projects for you. Each designer will highlight a new creation, featuring one of her favorite Helmar products that will hopefully inspire your spirit. Whether this be a layering effect, a new technique for that special crackly look, or even just a lift of flower power, we hope you find Helmar products to be the perfect match for your upcoming projects.
You should have just come from Beth Root’s blog if not then start at the very beginning with our fearless leader, Tracy Weinzapfel. I’ll wait for you to catch up. (Don’t forget to leave comments along the way as each member is giving away their favorite Helmar product!)
So my favorite Helmar product that I wish to share with you today is Premium Craft Glue. 
Premium Craft Glue bonds to almost all types of fabrics, leathers, balsa and other soft woods, paper, cane, most hand craft materials and more! Excellent for lamp shade making and millinery work. It sets quickly, dries crystal clear and is machine washable.
I can’t tell you how much Premium Craft Glue I have gone through. I love this stuff. (actually I love all the Helmar products but I had to pick just one to highlight for the blog hop…) I’ve used it with my sparkly fluff, flower soft, even to bond paper together (it didn’t wrinkle the paper at all.). So for my project for today, I wanted to try something a little different then the ideas listed above (which you can find on my blog by clicking on Helmar on the right hand side).
I had seen these Lunch Bag Hydrangeas and wanted to try my hand at them. So I pulled out a scallop circle nestie (you can use a scallop circle punch instead if you have one, I don’t), my lunch bags, a pencil, styrofoam balls, Helmar Premium Craft Glue and went to work.
Roll the scallop paper around the pencil.
Attach the paper to the ball using Helmar Premium Craft Glue:
After I was finished with them, I took ColorBox Ocean CHALK ink by ClearSnap and just smooshed it against the hydrangeas to give them some color. 
But what to put them in? Well I had these buckets that looked like they would be perfect. Glued a ribbon around the middle, yes, i used Premium Craft Glue. Using Pink Paislee’s Cupid Collection, I glued the two layers together and added vintage brads in the corners.
I then glued the entire label down onto the tin using Helmar’s Premium Craft Glue! Stamped a bird in Chestnut Roan CHALK (Colorbox), cut it out and attached it to the upper corner with 2 clear 1/2” ZapDots (Helmar).
And there you have it! Hope you liked my project and are inspired to try Helmar Adhesives. In fact, how would you like a chance to win a 4.23 fl oz bottle of Premium Craft Glue? Leave a comment telling me how you think you would use Premium Craft Glue! random.org will pick the lucky person for me on Monday the 22nd. (at this time because of the weight of the product, only USA residents are eligible to win but all comments are welcome)
Now hop on over to Becky Teichmiller as you don’t want to miss out on what she has in store for you.
Project is also for the Dirty Dozen Alumni challenge of Think Spring and having to have a bird or a bee on your project. Also for the Inspiration Challenge 224, these cakes are a good inspiration.
Thanks for stopping by,
Amber

WOW...this is one incredible project...boy, this must have taken some patience to create!!! Gorgeous work!
I would use the Premium Craft Glue to help make some paper flowers that I just learned to make (called a box flower). I would use it on scrapbooking and cards, too. I think you could use it a little bit like liquid glass. Always handy to have this type of glue! Thanks for the chance to win some.
I loved your hydrangea project! Awesome!
I'd love to win!
Am I really the first one?!
I LOVE your project and had the chance to use this glue before. I love its versatility and strong bond! Would love a new bottle though! :D Thank you for the giveaway!
Oh my goodness, these faux hydrangeas are so cool! I would totally use the craft glue to make these!! I can't get hydrangeas to grow here in my area and would love to have some pretties to enjoy in the house! LOL! I like how you added the chalk ink for the extra pop and dimension!

What a cute idea!! I have to try this - have never seen a flower made this way before! Thanks for the inspiration!
ohh, i LOVE those flowers!!! never seen them before!!! I'd LOVE to make one for a centerpiece for our picnics this summer!!! And, of course, I'd use Helmers glue!
Those hydrangea's are amazing. YOU couls use those at weddings.
That is just beautiful! Girl you so inspire me! Great job!
I think I would use the glue to try to make my own hydrangeas! They are adorable!
WOW...this is amazing...stunning....fantastic
Wow how cute and precious is this project. I am soooo doing one of these. What a wonderful gift to make for teachers. Pinky sent me here today and glad to have been invited.
Absolutely STUNNING. I think I've gotta make these for my mom for Mothers day. Thank so much for the inspiration

Wow Wow Wow! This is my favorite project thus far on the hop! SO SO SO Cool! Will definitely have to try these!!!

I've made something similar to this, but used pins to attach the paper to the styrofoam. This Glue would have been much easier (not to mention easier on my fingers)!
Amber, this is an AMAZING project, I absolutely LOVE this! :)
Love the flowers. Who would think a paper bag could look so good!
Thanks for the chance to win.
very cool flowers!! I'd say that this glue could be used for soooo many projects (I'm cleaning my craft room right now and could use this glue to alter all the frames/boxes and such that I'm finding!)
What a neat idea...never seen it before! This would be a perfect glue for cards since it dries clear!
wow, those flowers are gorgeous! amazing what you can do with a piece of paper and some craft glue!
Wow!! Gorgeous. Must have taken a ton of work. Great job!
WOW - didn't know that lunch bags could make such lovely flowers Amber - they look great!!!

AWESOME! I would LOVE the chance to get some of that glue for my fabric flowers! Thanks for the chance to win!

OMG.... that is an amazing project!! Well done!
I have never seen this before!!! So gorgeous! I'd use it on paper flowers as I've bought a few different brands and they don't work so great!
Very cool flowers! I've never seen anything like them!

Beautiful flowers! I can't wait to try those!
So cool! What an awesome project!
the hydrangeas are very cool. I had to keep going back and checking them out! I'd like to use the glue on a Mr/Mrs santa project that I'll be doing. yes I'm thinking of a christmas project, lol. My mother used to make the dolls out of detergent bottles and after 6 years of looking for the pattern I just found them before this christmas, too late to work on them.

Amazing project. Wonderful product. I have been using it for a month and wonder what I have done without it.
Amber,
What a wonderful project and when I first logged onto your blog I said "what really neet flowers" from the picture and then read the rest to learn you showed us how to do it .. thanks so much .. I'm going to try something similar. I have to admit though I'm stuck on Beacon's liquid adhesive and so it would be awesome to try Helmar's to see if it really is better :)
Thanks for the opportunity!
Cheers ~ Scrappy Val
That is gorgeous!!!
Great project!
Great project, would love to win, thanks!
LOVE those hydrangeas! BEAUTIFUL!!! Oh I need to make some, you ladies are just really inspiring me tonight! THANKS!! I would LOVE to give this craft glue a try, and I think I would use it to adhere fabric to a journal cover! Or make some of my own flowers!
OMGosh - I am totally in awe of this project. I LOVE this idea
Another great project idea. I love paper flowers. I use this type of Liquid glue in creating my own paper flowers and would love to try out Helmers glue. My list is growing of all these fun Helmar products to look for here in Ontario, Canada.
awesome project! I could have used that glue around xmas time for all my craft projects!!
absolutely fantabulous!!
Absolutely love this project! So creative & pretty!
WonderFUL project! That has to be one strong hold it has.....I'd love to try it out!
OMGosh! This is one awesome project. I just love these flowers and that for the tutorial too. This is some amazing adhesive. Thanks so much for this inspiring project and for a chance.
Wow, gorgeous! I think I would use the glue in a mini book project, where I don't want embellishments to fall off.
I may have to use it to scraplift your hydrangeas. I LOVE the look of hydrangeas, but it is too hot in Florida to ever have any that are beautiful. This would be such a great way for me to create some heavenly hydragea beuty in my house. Thank you so much for sharing this.
good grief! that is awesome!!! you really spent a lot of time on that - amazing!
Soooooo cute! I think this glue could be used pretty much on anything & everything -- so I wouldn't have to have a different type of glue for each medium. Thanks for the chance to win!
Wow -- what a lot of work -- but soooo pretty!!! Looks like this glue could be used on pretty much anything & everything!
What a great project idea! And clearly I need this adhesive! Thanks for the inspiration.
I absolutely LOVE your project!!!! I almost bought something just like this for my home and now I know how to make it! TFS
Oh wow that is an amazing hydrangea! Its so pretty, I have to try this and soon. My cats eat any flowers I try to bring into the house so I dont have flowers but these will be perfect!
Great project! Love the hydrangeas! Looks like good glue, too.
shut up! this is AWESOME! omg...love it to pieces...just gorgeous!
i was so excited i forgot to tell you how i would use it and i would be for pretty much everything, LOL. i am liquid glue kinda girl...i reach for that more than any kind of runner

I need something for metal and wood, so that's what I would use it for!
simply amazing! thank you for the inspiration. Way to go Amber!

These look almost real! That glue must be fantastic as styrofoam is not the easiest surface to glue on.
