Hello, friends:}
**GIVEAWAY details below!!!
**GIVEAWAY details below!!!
Today the Ribbon Carousel Crewmates are teaming up with the designers from Helmar today to bring you a blog hop jamed pack with crafty goodness! We carry many Helmar products in the Ribbon Carousel Shop. They are our go-to-company for adhesives!
Helmar USA Inc began in late 2009 initially setup to distribute Helmar branded product manufactured by Helmar Australia and to better service and expand our existing US customer base. It was located in San Diego, California. Whilst the business grew steadily and slowly it wasn't the ideal location for our business to continue to grow.
2012 has seen some major changes already this year for Helmar USA Inc. and those positive changes will continue. In the interests of moving forward and enabling the business to grow from strength to strength, relocation and a change in ownership became inevitable.
Another major postive change we have made is to expand our design team. Headed by Erika Taylor the changes implemented so far have been refreshing and inspiring. The range of product education & projects available through various media is outstanding. We truly have very talented group of designers and are so excited to be working with some of the best companies as preferred partners, in the industry.
I created a super easy hair piece/accessory using some beautiful Grape Wine vintage seam binding {available HERE from the RC} and two different Helmar glues {450 Quick Dry Adhesive and Gemstone Glue--also available HERE from the RC}. Here's a short project tutorial **literally--this hair piece took five minutes to make!:
**Variations of this project-- you could create several of these using your school colors or make these for a cheerleading squad/fans; you could use this hair piece as an award for a student/child--just add a sentiment/congrats on a banner and place in the center of the star.
Another version of this hair piece is to make a headband/ribbon band. I repeated the above steps for several stars and attached them to a ribbon that was about a yard in length. Then I tied it around my head! Here's a picture of this hair piece:) THANKS, Trav, for taking photos for me!!!
I wasn't smiling in either pic! LOL! Oh well:)
Here's a photo that I uploaded to FB/Instagram-- it's been a fan favorite:)
- The Helmar prise [picture to the right] is a complete pack of Zapdots (12 packs) including clear, black and white in circles and squares in both,the large and small sizes!
- The other prize up for grabs is a $20 gift certificate to the Ribbon Carousel Store!
Thanks so much for stopping by! Be blessed and GOOOOOD luck on this giveaway! :}
ps...I shared this photo with my RCC DT the other day, and Corinna said I should share it with you! The story: I was trying to use my new Helmar glue and just squeezed really hard when nothing would come out. I didn't realize that there was a seal on the bottle!!! As I opened it, glue almost got on my computer and keyboard. I thought that I had cleaned it all up, but when I ran my fingers through my hair....there was glue in my hair! You can't really see it in this pic--but the glob was large enough to have cut out. Now I know to check for seals on all bottles:}
