...open The Global Sugar Art Petal Dust
Decorating By kjskid Updated 16 Nov 2009 , 3:23pm by luddroth
I got little bottles of Global Sugar Art petal dust, but I can't open them! I thought maybe a can opener -- the kind that pries things open, but after a bit of exertion, it still didn't work, and I'm afraid if I try harder, it will fly open when it finally does. HELP! 
I use a church key to open them then put them in little jars with screw on lids.
I just had to jack this for a second. I had to laugh at what you said, Tiggy2. At my grandson's wedding two weeks ago, we were in the kitchen at the hall, looking for a can opener to prep some of the food, and I spotted a church key in the drawer. I said, "Oh, look, a church key!" and nobody around me knew what I was talking about.

Yeah I hate those little lids! If you aren't careful you will wind up with quite a mess!
Someone suggested to purchase the little bead holder containers from the craft section that have screw on lids and put the dust in those.
I want to add that you can find those small screw-top jars, inexpensively, in what's left of the craft section of Wal-Mart. They have them with the beads, but you have to look at the bottom of the display to find them.

I guess I was showing my age when I said that
So did I, when I admitted that I knew what you were talking about.

I struggled opening mine and then the stuff flew everywhere - what a mess. I'll look for those jars at walmart. Been ages since I've heard the term church-key too!!
Yes, I just got mine last week and thought I might have a defective container. I had my husband try it and he managed but with difficulty. I didn't think about putting the dust into another container, but the next time I use it, I will.

If it makes you feel better, I knew what you were talking about and I'm only 35 
Old fashioned bottle opener used to open beer bottles.
LOL! I was going to say that one of these works really well, but I didn't realize there was another name for it!

I bought those too! I haven't had the time to put the dusts into them yet, but can't wait to do it. Hmmmmmmmm, maybe that can be today's project, lol. The jars come in a 24 pack for $7 I think. I bought 2, and might go buy a 3rd so I have extras, lol. and I HATE the new Walmart layouts! blech!!!!!
Thanks for starting this thread OP. I just bought 5 jars of petal dust from GSA, and had no idea that they were so difficult to open. I'll have to get my tools ready when my shipment arrives.

I'm only 33! I was going to say I used a church key, but I didn't know if anyone would know what I was talking about!
The first time I bought petal dust, there was an opener shown in the on-line store, I think. It looks a lot like a church key, but fits the little lids better. It's the only way I can get the darn things open. They're not so easy to close again, either!
