Fix Your Torn Clothes

There's nothing worse than getting a tear or a hole in one of your favorite items of clothing, right? This is enough to ruin your whole week, especially if you feel as though you have no option but to throw the item of clothing in the trash. But you'll be happy to know that you don't have to part ways with your beloved pair of pants! Especially if you have a hot glue gun at your disposal.

One of the best ways to fix a tear in your clothes is to stick them together with some hot glue. Sure, this won't last a lifetime - but it'll certainly last a few washes.

Craft Some Quirky Cake Toppers

Everyone loves cake, right? But when you pay for a professional to bake a cake or buy cake toppers from a store, you can guarantee that you're going to spend a small fortune. Thankfully, it doesn't have to be that way. By crafting these cake toppers yourself, you can save yourself a huge amount of money while also benefitting from making something completely bespoke and unique. What's better than that?

By using a cookie cutter as a guide in terms of shape, you can fashion a cake topper using hot glue. From there, you can decorate it however you want. Go wild!

Make Personalized Fridge Magnets

Whether you want to upgrade your decorations or whether you want to gift something to a friend, fridge magnets are a great idea. And while you can certainly buy these from a store or online, there's nothing quite like getting crafty and making these things yourself. That's because it's super easy to make your own fridge magnets at home, and all you need is some hot glue, some magnets, and a mold of some kind.

Simply place the magnet in the mold, cover it in hot glue, and voilà! Of course, we highly encourage the use of glitter, colored glue, and other types of decoration.

Perfectly Align Your Picture Frames

There's nothing quite like filling your house with home accessories. From candles to rugs, they add a touch of personalization to your space. But if you're someone who loves to hang pictures on the wall, you'll know just how difficult it is to perfectly align these frames on your wall. No matter how hard you try, you're always going to end up with wonky picture frames, right? Well, not anymore.

One of the best ways to keep your picture frames level is to apply a globule of hot glue to each corner of the frame. By doing this, you'll stop it from sliding around.

Fashion Some Curtain Straps

Whether you call them curtains or drapes, everyone can agree that these home accessories can make all of the difference in your home. They can offer you privacy and darkness, and they can also add a bright pop of color or pattern to a room. But loose curtains can also be pretty annoying if you have a small space, which is why straps can come in pretty handy. And you can make them using a hot glue gun!

Once you've chosen the fabric you'd like for your curtain straps, grab some magnets and attach them to the straps. Once they're dried and secure, they're ready to keep hold of your curtains.

Make Your Own Homemade Bag Clips

Let's be honest; bag clips make life a whole lot easier. Nobody likes stale potato chips, and kids certainly don't like their lunch spilling out into their backpacks. That's why every home seems to be equipped with these bag clips - but as they're so small, you can misplace them quite easily. But if you find yourself in a situation where you have none to hand, don't worry! Just grab your hot glue gun.

By hot glue gunning a binder clip to two popsicle sticks, you'll be able to create the perfect alternative that should be able to last at least a few lunches.
