Use nontoxic glue to seal the ends of branches and plant stems after pruning. This will prevent moisture loss and will also guard against an insect infestation. A glue stick works well to cover the end of a stem. Keep the tips of shoelaces from fraying by dipping them in all-purpose, nontoxic glue. Let the glue dry before using the laces.

Draw a pattern on a piece of paper with glue, then sprinkle the design with birdseed or glitter. Let it dry, then shake off the excess to reveal the pattern. Loosen unwanted glue by saturating it with a cloth soaked in vinegar or nail-polish remover.
