Adhesives and Buttons???

[akfbetts]

Hi there! I am just wondering what the best kind of adhesive is for putting a design (on cardstock) on the back of a clear button??? I have done it before but cannot remember what adhesive I used :confused: . Thanks!

i would use a mini glue dot or a pop up glue dot....but that's me....

I like the clear dots. I recently discovered that if I tie thread or twine through the buttonhole...it sticks a lot better. It must be a "texture" thing.

Yep mini glue dots make sure they are samllest you can get.

I've used both the glue dots and the crystal effects with success. Generally if I am tying twine or embroidery thread through the button holes, I may not use any adhesive. ;)

Another vote for mini glue dots.

I like to use my Xyron little "X" machine. This works great!!!

You're talking about attaching patterned paper to the back of the clear button so that you see the paper through it? I'd use Crystal Effects / Glossy Accents. I've tried the tiny micro-dots from Studio-Tac, and while they are good and sticky, they tend to add a slight *screen* texture. A think layer of CE and wiping any extra off quickly works well for me.

Just a question...but would glue dots make the button appear a little more opaque (ie not be able to see the patterned paper clearly?
