So we've all had to base our minis. The easiest is slopping some glue on the base and dunking it in a tub of our favorite basing material. But what about the excess? Usually, you'll end up with this:
Even if you use a tub or box that is big enough to fit your mini, you'll still have to empty it back into the original container. And its usually smaller than the other containers. So what can you do without making a mess?
Try using one of these. I picked this up from Michaels in the jewelry section. Its for rhinestones and other materials that you don't want to get all over the place. Perfect for basing material.
Just base your mini like you'd normally would. Put it in the tray and shake off the excess. Remove the plug at the end and just pour it into your container.
It just that easy. And it costs less than $5!
