I cut up the sailboat on Nursery Necessities. There is a very small flag. what is the best way to glue that. I had great difficulty with this. Thanks for any help.
I'm not familiar with the image you are talking about - but for small items - I have a two ended glue pen (I think I got it at Hobby Lobby) - one tip is very fine - like a fine point pen.
I've been using Tombow Metal glue for a lot of small things. The tube has a small opening and I found that if I let it set for about 30 seconds its tacky and I can place it using my tweezers. It hold really well. You have a little bit of time if you need to move it. any residue can be removed with your glue eraser.
I use the 2-way glue. When wet, it appears blue and forms an instant strong bond. However, when dry it is clear and can be repositioned for a brief time. Since I don't always put things where I want the first time, this is the best for me when I'm adhering small items. HTH.

Just one other idea for glueing is using the gluing tip available for quilling. The small metal tip fits on a plastic glue bottle and lays down the smallest bit of glue you've ever seen. I've used one for attaching one quilled figure to another and for attaching lots of things to the cards I make. "Try it, you'll like it!" Kay "Sarge":-D
I second this method. I use my guilling glue bottle for primas and rhinestones...works fabulously and it applies in such a tiny amount at a time!

I thought I did too. Hmmmmmm, maybe an over sight on their part. It is good stuff though. I use it for corner adornments on my cards. They're filigree/flourishes and very small and narrow. Thanks all.
I use the Xyron X for very small things and the larger Xyrons for larger pieces like my die cuts.

This is a must-have IMHO. You can also try putting double-sided tape on the back of your image, before you cut it out. Your scissors need to be sharp, and might get adhesive on them, but it wipes right off . . . I do this for dots! Just punch right through the taped paper and *Presto* you have little 1/4 inch stickers. Works great.
Does the quickie glue pen have a strong hold? I was just searching to see what to do for my rhinestones - I have never used them before but wanted to put some bling on my mothers birthday card.
Also, what works best for those little Robins Egg pebbles? I got some and don't know how to glue them down.
