I made a ric rac flower snapable headband for Baby E and I didn't LOVE how it turned out. Too pink, not enough interest. Instead of trashing it, I want to salvage it but I had a piece of felt with a snap hot glued to it.
I found a very simple way to un-hot glue it!
Take your iron and press down for just a second, then pull it up. Repeat until you've completely removed the hot glued item.
Ta-da! Super simple and I was able to save the flower!
To break up the pink a bit, I decided to add a leaf. I cut a leaf shape out of green felt.
I stitched right on down the middle to give it a little detail.
Then I glued the leaf to the flower...
and added it to a soft headband!
I really love how it turned out. Now if I could just keep E from pulling it off her head, we'd be in business!

Super cute, and FAB-U-LOUS tip!!! Pinning! ;)
Thanks for the great tip! Knowing how to "undo" something we are working on and want to change, is important in the creative (but sometimes fickle) process!
So cute!
I learned this the hard way after I made cupcake cases with hot-glue. They fell apart in the oven!! Whoops :)
I love the 'new' look, and wow, such a good tip! Wish I had known it earlier so that I could've saved some (miserably) failed projects :)

Great Tip! The headband is darling.
Great tip! I've trashed too much because of hot glue. The flower is adorable :)
Wow, believe it or not, I needed this tip today! I made a felt flower/feather hair clip, and after I finished it, I realized I hot glued the clip too far in, and can't open it. Sooo, I'm going to try your tip, thanks!
Love this Jessica!
