wooooo!
I really liked your brain idea, I think I may have to make one. Or two... or five hundred and six.

I've never tried the geletin solution. I think this would ease my mind a bit more that storing my fluid-filled bottles. And let me tell you, if something can rot, stink or mold, it will be at my house that takes place! Thanks for passing along along this info. I've got a sleu of bottles and labels ready to go.

I'm glad you found this useful.

Sounds neat! Before I try it though, I want to see how the finished product looks! Bring on the pictures!

Ok, later today I'll get some pictures up!

You know, they sell colored hot glue sticks.

Would they be a feasible replacement for gelatin?

Yeah, you'd have to use several sticks for a jar, but it would last with no rot or decay concerns, right?

Great idea
Much better than moldy old gelatin haha

Depending on how "permanent" you want these to be, you can always use something like Craft Water or Quick Water tinted to your liking. For larger projects it can get costly however, but the results are great.

(Off the subject a tad - have any of you come across glow in the dark glue sticks? If so, where did you find them? I've seen the colored sticks, but no glow in the dark.)

GiggleFairy, are you looking for hot glue or normal papercraft glue sticks? If you want hot glue, I imagine you could use some of the WebCaster sticks--which near as I understand are slightly modified hotglue sticks. They come in Black, Red, Clear, Yellow, and Glow-in-the-Dark. If you are looking for the papercraft glue stick, I'm afraid I've never even heard of it being glow-in-the-dark.

Thanks for the info. These are hot glue and are used in a craft in Martha Stewart's latest Halloween mag. If I actually find the the stick she uses, I'll pass on the info. Thanks again!
