Miniature Boiling Over Pot

I made a little discovery I thought I'd share with you.  I needed a little pot of soup to place atop my stove.  I decided to try something new.
The result was fabulous!
All you need is 1 ingredient: Original Gorilla Glue.
I filled the pot a quarter of the way and in about 6 hours it made this terrific boiling over effect in a bouillon color. 
It dries hard with those bubbles permanently set.  After I filled my pot a fourth of the way, I placed a spoon in it. I also put the steam at the same time. This is just pillow stuffing/filler. I used the end of a brush to make sure the "steam" touched the glue. I placed the pot on a paper towel just in case it spilled over too much while the glue dried. 
So easy! Give it a try. You are going to love the result!
Hugs,
Caroline

    Wow, what an awesome discovery you made! It looks exactly like boiling over soup! I just got my miniature trailer a few days ago, I'm not sure when I'm going to start it but I'm excited:)

    I hope you're enjoying life in your beautiful new home Caroline! Hugs:)

    Very smart Caroline. The possibilities are numerous too. You could put the tiniest amount in a mug maybe, paint it white & have hot cocoa with whipped cream, shaving cream in a shaving mug, a bubble bath maybe? Luckily since I build small furniture I always have gorilla glue on hand. I'm anxious to experiment with it. Let me know if you try any of my ideas.

    Caroline, what a great find, the result looks great! But..........I also think it's a "waste" of the delicious soup OL ;)!

    Great idea, the effect is perfect, I wonder if you add a dab of color you could make a green froth or purple..I am always thinking in the magical realm ;P

    Good to see you experiment with minis again, I look forward to seeing more little bits!
