You can get cheap and reliable hot glue guns from Hobbycraft Smile

I've got one of their "mini" ones - its actually perfect size for mouse creations I find...any bigger and I think I'd have problems using it!

Mine is a "mini" one as well, you certainly don't need anything big and fancy for popsicle stick things. I used to use PVA glue but I'm so glad I got a glue gun!

Right I will be going to hobbycraft soon then, I have seen the mini glue guns before so I will be sure to pick one up! Is there any stores here in England that sell cheap popsicle sticks? Hobbycraft do 50 for £1 and poundland do 40 plain and 40 coloured. But It doesn't say what ink is used (doubt it is vegetable dye) Or is it best sticking to ebay and Amazon?

I think the best deals are ebay/amazon (as far as I'm aware). I've used coloured popsicle sticks before that said they were coloured with "child safe dyes", but I can't remember where I got them from now (oops!).

I haven't found any better deals than amazon/ebay for lollysticks either.
(They're so useful though...crafts, gardening, making actual lollies...I'd have thought more places would sell them in bulk Sad
