No, not all glue sticks are compatible with every glue gun. Glue guns are typically designed for specific types of glue sticks, such as standard or mini glue sticks, which vary in diameter and melting temperature. It's important to check the specifications of your glue gun and use the appropriate glue sticks to ensure proper adhesion and avoid damage to the gun. Using the wrong type of glue stick can result in poor performance or even safety hazards.
Cover cardboard toilet paper rolls with brightly painted craft sticks. Paint the craft sticks before using craft glue to stick them side-by-side around the edge of the cardboard roll, butting them up to each other so there are no gaps. Hold the sticks in place with a rubber band until the glue has dried. Then remove the rubber bands and decorate the pencil holder further with glued-on buttons, gemstones or stickers. You can either leave the pen holder open at the bottom or, if you'd like to carry it without losing the pens, you could use the cardboard toilet roll as a template to cut a circle of cardboard just big enough to cover the base. Use hot glue from a gun to run a line of glue around the base then press the toilet roll into it before gluing on the craft sticks.
