Xyron 500
Wednesday, August 13th, 2008
I’ve owned the xyron 500 create a sticker for almost a year. This machine applies adhesive to your scrapbook items. You put in your picture, die cut, ribbon… whatever up to about 5 inches, and turn the handle. It comes out the other side attached to a white paper. All you do is peel your item off the paper and stick it to your page or card! Super easy.. and just like you see them do on QVC when they are demonstrating products!
My hubby bought this fantastic product for me for Christmas. I’ve said many times that it’s one of the best presents he has gotten for me. I love it because it makes creating cards or scrapbook pages super fast (after I’ve figured out what I want it to look like, of course!). It’s wide enough to put a 4×6 picture in, but you don’t usually need to coat a picture with adhesive. I usually run several smaller things through it, even my 5 year old can do it….. kids even younger could use it with help. My daughter loves turning the handle and then peeling off the papers she picked and sticking them to her project. I also want to get a smaller xyron because sometimes I just have a piece of ribbon and it doesn’t make sense to run just that through and waste a lot of adhesive.. but xyron makes several sizes of these machines. It’s really great for those items that are hard to use your adhesive runner on, just send your laser cut die cut through this baby and out it comes, perfectly coated with adhesive, ready to peel and stick!
You can find this machine at most craft stores. Joann’s Fabric and Craft online is have a sale on them!
