Tree Sap Glue for a Glue Gun

have you ever been stuck without glue sticks?
this will show you how to make tree sap glue sticks!
Things You Need



- a pine tree (i used an austrian pine)
- a glue stick(to push stuff out of a length of pipe)
- a piece of pipe (about as big as the glue stick)
- a glue gun
- OPTIONAL: gloves
Get Some Tree Sap!


find a tree that has some sap coming off of it and just grab a chunk (make sure to leave enough for the tree to heal)
the tree that i got my sap from had holes from a wood pecker and was just covered in sap
Heat It Up and Squish It in to the Pipe

using hot water or a microwave heat it up until it is plyable and squish it into the pipe
Cool It Down!

using water or a freezer cool the pipe with the sap in it for a few minutes
Push It Out



using the glue stick push the sap out of the pipe
Use It!


put it in your glue gun and use it!
NOTE: depending on how hard the sap is you may have to push it with a regular glue stick
