Team. Today, I want to show with you some of our favorite adhesive choices and tell you a little bit about their applications. Choosing the right adhesive can help you out of a sticky situation.

You can't go wrong with the tape runner. Photo corners are double-sided adhesive that are usually applied by hand. A lot of brands will come in a box, something like this and you simply just

These are usually applied by hand and basically they're just foam with adhesive on both sides. All you have to do to apply them is just to take off the backing, add it to your

for adhering accents and embellishments, then you wanna get hold of some adhesive dots. These are usually dispensed from a row and applied by hand. They're very simply to use. What you wanna do is actually place your element to the glue and pull it right away, and you add it to your project. Once, you item is adhered, don't plan on moving it 'cause it's there to stay. Adhesive dots are reasonably priced with a variety of applications. Liquid glue sometimes called the wet adhesives is a great option for adhering

foam core. This is special foam core though because it's got this adhesive sticky back to it like this. So you just peel it off and it's ready to go, so it makes it very easy to work with. So I've got my adhesive side actually underneath and I'm just gonna use an Exacto blade and cut out my dress pattern. Okay. So I've got my whole dress cut out, ready to go. So now I'm gonna flip it over. And what I'm actually gonna do is, 'cause I'm gonna do a little empire waist, I'm just gonna cut through the adhesive ware so that I can do 2 different patterns: one at the bottom of the dress and one at the top. So now comes the fun part. It's time to decorate your dress. And you know, you can do whatever you want. This is just gift wrapping paper. You can use whatever you happen to have left over. So what you're gonna do is you're going to actually peel the adhesive liner off and start smoothing the paper over it. And what you're gonna do is you're gonna do that sort of backwards
