Got so bored i made a hide out of glue and sand.

And.. it was surprisingly effective.

Soft, yet sturdy. Non-toxic.

This is a test run so it's ooglay.

The only downside is it took 12 gluesticks to make. But i can just make it pretty and offset the cost

Glue gun used btw dont use elmers it will break down and dissolve.

Love me some hot glue. I arranged some cork pieces together and secured with hot glue. Going for the large cork look without the price.
Great idea for the hide! I'm officially inspired.

Ignore the unfinished background please. Hopefully some detail work will blend the cork seams.

Im glad you were inspired. Any time i spark another's creativity it feels great.

Im thinking of making a bunch of decorations for terraria/paludaria/aquaria

What i did was make a moist dome of playsand, then i topped it with glue whilst sprinkling sand onto it. It retained the dome shape whilst having a granular texture.

I've done the same, and you can hot glue dry moss over seams, etc. And you and disassemble after the glue dries if you want to change things up.

Careful not to use it with live stuff though silicone is better for that

Could you explain this? I use hot glue in almost every enclosure I have. It’s advertised as “food safe.” Not that I go around tasting.

I can’t believe I’ve never thought of this while rummaging through little chunks of leftover bark. Guess I have a project for tomorrow.
