adhesive questions for my shadow box

Topic Closed

Jan '12 Anda11

Hi guys, I have made a shadow box photo tray before but I have different things on this one. I used atg for some of it. I had flowers, metal charms that i used glue dots for. Now I have a thin 1' fabric patch, golf tees & a thin flat metal golf tool.
Someone thought glue dots would work. What do you guys think?

Fabritac is amazing for stuff like this

I have a shadow box hanging in my bedroom. Glue dots worked for everything in it, including fabric pieces, with the exception of a cameo ornament that is very heavy. I had to actually pin that through layers of fabric and paper to make it stay.

The cameo has a loop at the top because it's supposed to be an ornament. I used a long hat pin, stuck it through the loop, then down through the doily, the photo, and the paper and into the fabric backing of the frame to make it stay up.

KI Gloo is also a good adhesive for heavy items, but I didn't try it in this case. I think KI gloo would work great for your golf tees, though. It's a liquid glue that dries clear.

Glue Dots Continuous Lines would work as well.

Thank you everyone. I will use my glue dots for this but I will check some of these others out.
