[Challenge & Achievement] The Muse Bookshop and problems with a rose

For something nice and quick, I pulled The Muse Bookshop from my stash.
There are not a lot of parts and it required a little glue but not much.


I started out building all the little parts to fit inside. Oh man, that tiny tiny box certainly made me have to hold my tongue right!

Then I worked on the frame, before placing all the items in their respective places.

Finally….. Ta Da!!! All done. One mishap that was easily fixed but I’m not telling you where it was and you would be hard pressed to find it :face_savoring_food:

So…. I started my next build. This was a free gift with my order close to Valentine’s Day.

Alas!! I have broken a bit on the bottom of one of the main petals. I have glued it and waited for it to dry but it broke again when I tried to out it back on. I have tried all of my glues, so tomorrow I will raid my husband’s super glue and see if that works!
If not, I will either forget it or request a new part.
For now, it’s been packed away u til I can look at it with new eyes.

What kind of plastic is it? Plastic cement might be a better option for fixing something like this! It basically welds the plastic together, but you need to make sure you know the type of plastic the petal is and buy the right type of cement!

Something like this!

I see that many people have problems when mounting flowers, especially roses.

Oh no Sorry to hear about your flower petal. The bookshop turned out lovely. The box…LOL! Is that the face you make when threading a needle?

I have a glue for every occasion.

I’m thinking I will need to superglue it too.

That looks great but I’m not sure of the plastic. I may check some of the big hobby stores online.

I just had issues getting it into place and the catch bent so when I finally got it in place, it broke. :disappointed_face:

It should say what it is on the plastic you cut the petals out from! As long as it’s not ABS plastic regular plastic cement should work! ABS plastic needs specific ABS cement.

Thanks @Atropex. I’ll check that out.

That blue rose is so pretty! Love the color. Maybe try UV glue?

Thats an idea. I am unsure and I would hate to buy a special glue. Although I will say the grands keep breaking things and bringing it to me to try to fix! Maybe I should invest!

The Muse Bookstore looks amazing!!

I did try UV. Sadly it didn’t work.

I still have the whole rose bouquet to make at someone too ha ha
