When you're stuck like glue: Vaseline
Do you remember, as a kid, watching Blue Peter and being amazed at how their craft projects Just Worked? At home, you faffed about with Pritt stick that didn't stick, and models that unrolled themselves as soon as you turned your back.
Tonight I have been making myself a Despicable Me shrink ray for a fancy-dress New Year party. I used blue cardboard, black tissue paper, gold card recycled from last New Year's costume and... Superglue.
Take some stiff card. Roll it into a tube. Apply glue. And it Just Sticks. It's bloody marvellous. Mind you, I did stick my shrink ray to my fingers a couple of times. Swings and roundabouts.
