Turning Hot Glue into Jewelry...
It all started with a TikTok and a hot glue gun. What began as raindrop experiments quickly turned into 3D butterflies, then animal earrings from giraffes to dogs. A custom charity project raised $700 in hours, showing me my creations could make a difference. Now I’m bringing glue glam online, hoping to delight quirky jewelry lovers everywhere.
I first experimented with hot glue after seeing a raindrop necklace on TikTok. I wanted to try making something similar with materials I already had at home—and hot glue worked perfectly. From that experiment, I started creating more designs, learning what the glue could do, and discovering my love for tiny, whimsical creations.
The very first thing I made was a 3D butterfly turned into stud earrings. From there, ideas snowballed into all kinds of animals—giraffes, dogs, deer, and more. Each pair is handmade, lightweight, and designed to bring a little fun into someone’s day.
A special moment came when I made custom earrings and keychains in honor of a friend’s sons, who passed away in a car accident. Those creations raised $700 in just a few hours for a local student attending secondary school. That experience showed me that these little handmade pieces could really have an impact.
Since then, I’ve sold at local markets and refined my craft. Now, I’m bringing my creations online so that more people across the country—and one day, maybe the world—can enjoy quirky, playful, glue-made jewelry that’s fun, unexpected, and full of personality.
