Although care must be taken when using a glue gun as the melted glue is extremely hot and can burn your skin. The glue sticks are inserted into the barrel of the gun and the tip of the gun is heated and this melts the glue sticks, you then pull the trigger and the melted glue pours out.

This glue is a great way to put glitter onto flowers, it can be sprayed directly onto the flowers and is very lightweight so not a lot is needed!
