Help with felt adhesive please

[PaperKat]

:confused: my Mom & I are trying to make a collage of photos for my sister's 50th birthday. We have a shadow box frame that came with a black felt board for the backing. We are having the hardest time adhering the photos to the felt! The double sided Scotch tape won't work and the bottle of felt glue tends to curl the photos. Does anyone know if red tape works on felt & photos? Or if you know of anything else that would work we would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you for your help.

I made a similar shadow box for my grown son. It had some photos, as well as a couple of more substantial items.

I finally got some sticky-back self adhesive velcro tape, put the "hook" side on my pics and items and it worked to adhere them to the felt. You might give it a try. They sell the self-adhesive velcro tape at Walmart in the crafts/yarn/sewing dept.

You could probably just put little squares in each corner of the photos, and maybe one in the middle.

PaperKat.....Post #2 is a good idea to try. You might also try Fabri Tac glue if you want the items to stay permanently. After trial and error, I found felt works like fabric rather than with paper glue.

Thank you both very much! I'm off to the store to get the Velcro and the Fabri Tac.
