How to Glue Anything to Anything

One of the most difficult decisions crafters make when working with new materials is what glue to use. You need the result to be flexible or stiff? You can't afford wrinkles or you love them? What works for me may not work for you.

when you need to understand your options for gluing this to that, visit This to That and ask the question. I've got you started on how to glue fabric to paper but what about wood to paper or leather to fabric? No problems, just select the media and click. You'll find lots of great advice about the glues to use, links to learn more about them and any issues with them (wrinkling, stiffness etc.).

It's a site well worth bookmarking so it's handy for when next you're prompted to ask "I wonder how to glue this to that?

Great Decoupage Glue

I always thought that ModgePodge was the be all and end all of decoupage glues, that was until I met this new glue from the company called Decopatch.

The company is French and the glue is absolutely wonderful. It lasts and lasts, it goes on really easily, it doesn't get gobs of dry bits in it and thicken up - instead it stays workable for hours. It is truely beautiful (if you can say that about glues!) and you keep your hands so much cleaner. It dries well and I just love it and I know you will too.
