Best Adhesive for Dew Drops
What is the best adhesive to use for Dew Drops?
I find they fall off in my scrapbooks and I'm sure they don't arrive intact on cards.
I started using a liquid glue that dries clear, but it always leaves a big puddle around the drop.
I also tried glue dots.
Thanks.

I usually use my Quickie Glue Pen by Sakura. Just a tiny dot works great.

I use glue dots. The liquid adhesives seem to dry "stiff" and the dew drops pop off if the paper is bent.
Maybe I should try the Tombo Mono-Multi (green bottle). Since it's latex-based maybe it'll have a little "give" to it but yet be strong enough to keep them right where they belong.

My LSS recommended JudiKins Diamond Glaze for attaching Dew Drops. I tried it, but I prefer mini glue dots.

I use Mini glue dots.
They are the perfect size for Dew Drops.

I use glue dots or zip dry - whichever is handy on my table at the time and both work well.

I have been using Crystal Effects a ton lately. One of the things I love about it is the fact that it does NOT remain sticky, in case you get a little coming out from behind an embellishment.
