Default Paper Clip Bookmark Question

I love the little paper clip bookmarks I've seen in the gallery. I'd love to make these for some of my gs's teachers. My question is what glue do you use to prevent them from coming off if they are really used?

Thanks and Blessings!

I use pop up glue dots. They are thick enough that you can press the paper clip into them and still be able to stick something over the paper clip. Plus they are heavy duty. I've read that others use Crystal Effects or an epoxy-type glue (E3000 or something like that), but you have to let those dry.

I used E-6000 glue and yes you have to let it dry, but it holds very well and it goes along way, and you don't have to use alot either.

I also use E6000 glue it works the best, I have also used my hot glue gun if you need them to dry alot quicker.
When I use glue dots they fall apart.

I made mine with E-6000 glue, and they are not going to fall apart. LOL! I don't like the smell of the E-6000, but I seem to be the only one that really notices it.

Default E6000 here also

Yesss, E6000 stinks! When using it, be sure you are in a well ventilated area. HERE are some I've made. Scroll down and my complete directions are in the comments area, about the 11th post. If I'm going to spend the time, I want them to last too. HTH!
May God bless, Sandi
