Today is Wednesday at Bugaboo Stamps, which means that one DT member is sharing a tutorial today! Guess what....that DT member is me today! That's right today I am sharing with you a Tutorial on How to Use Glubers! I know, what now? 
If you haven't seen them before Glubers are these awesome GIANT Glue Dots that are super sticky and a great way to make fun embellishments. So, let me take you through step by step on how to use them! The package comes with directions, but sometimes it is easier to see someone lay it all out for you step by step.You Will Need:
1 Gluber any size (I used the smallest one I have - 2")Ribbon (at least a yard, just in case)
Scissors
A Center Embellishment, I used a Yellow Button
Step #1:
Cut and Remove your Gluber from the package.
Step #2:Peel away the thinner top layer of acetate, you can easily tell which is the base and which is just a top protective layer. Fold the end of your ribbon under slightly and attach it to your Gluber, remember this stuff is very sticky so be careful.
Step #3:
Begin folding and pressing the ribbon onto the adhesive. I push down, fold over, and then push down again. Continue until you complete an entire ring around the adhesive. Then make a cut in the ribbon and try to blend it in or line it up nicely.
Step #4:
Begin the second row, starting the same way the you did with the first row. Bend the ribbon edge under the top and stick it down continuing in the same manner as before push down, fold, push down again. Until you complete another ring.
Step #5:
At this point you can add something to the center, or you can create a smaller third row. There is less adhesive at this stage and it gets to be a bit tight, but I think the third row really fills in the flower.
Step #6:
Your Ribbon work is complete! Now, add a central embellishment. In my case I used a yellow button that I added a little bow out of twine to.
Step #7:
Peel away the backing and add to any card or creation! For my completed project today I used this adorable image Kid Pocket Topper - Girl with Ponytails, isn't she just too cute! I just love how these Glubers can be a great base for such a fun embellishment too!

I posted last weekend that my SU! Demo taught us last Saturday night how to create a perfect bow every time by using a fork, so I promised to post a tutorial on the technique....so here we go!
First you need a four pronged fork and a long piece of ribbon. Wrap the ribbon around the fork, prongs pointing towards you.
Then take the left side of the ribbon and pull it over the fork, then pick up the right side piece and thread the ribbon through the center two prongs over the piece of ribbon.
Next pull it tight, and move the ribbon up on the fork. Then thread the piece of ribbon left on your side through the center two prongs, under the piece of ribbon already threaded through the two center prongs.
Flip the fork over so that both ends of the ribbon are pointing towards you. 
Then take both ends and tie a knot, tightly.
Once you have adjusted your bow and sides so the ribbon lays straight slip the bow off of the fork. 
Trim the sides to the appropriate length and attach to any card! Simple, and after a few tries you learn pretty quickly. 
I think its a neat way to get a smaller bow, but beware of the width of your piece of ribbon, if it is too wide the fork may be too small. Be sure to stop by tonight for my card for the Wednesday Pretties Challenge and stay tuned over the next few days I will be posting my Pajama Party creations!
