Scrapbooking Adhesives: Stick to the Basics

Scrapbookers have so many choices in scrapbooking adhesives. Manufacturers are offering more and more options to meet the needs of this hobby. Scrapbooking techniques have continued to change over time, and now scrapbookers need adhesives that can handle the newest techniques and trends.

Photo safe is the most important quality when choosing a scrapbooking adhesive. Make sure any adhesive you choose is archival sage, especially when using them on the back of your photographs. Scrapbookers have so many choices when it comes to adhesives.

Photo Corners: Scrapbookers love photo corners because they allow you to remove an item from the scrapbook. They are not permanent adhesives. They have remained a popular choice in scrapbooking adhesives since the scrapbooking craze began. Heritage photos work well with photo corners, allowing you a temporary mount to your page layout. Photo corners now come in an assortment of colors.

Glue: When it comes to versatility, glue is the best option for adhesives in scrapbooking. It comes in pens, tubes or bottles, each suited to different types of gluing. For example, use a glue pen for your smallest page elements. Glues come in many varieties, including repositionable and permanent. Specialized glues are available for metal or fabric.

Tape Runners: These are a basic supply for most scrapbookers. Tape runners are double-sided adhesives and come in dispensers or on a roll. Like glue, they are available in permanent and repositionable tape. Tape runners are convenient and fast for quick page layouts. As you run the tape along a surface, it leaves behind a continuous line of adhesive. You use only as much as you need for each item.

Glue Dots: Available in rolls or sheets, glue dots provide a strong bond for heavy embellishments. They work well with fabric, ribbons and textured materials as well. Glue dots are available in a variety of sizes.

Glue Sticks: Still a favorite among scrapbookers, glue sticks are less messy than most glue. They allow you to cover a wide area quickly. Yet, they still can be used on small items. Before you purchase glue sticks, make sure they are photo-safe. You don't want the ones made for school projects.

Adhesive Spray: The advantages of adhesive spray are even coverage and transparency. They work well with vellum, unlike some adhesives that will show through the paper. You do have to be very careful with over spray. Always put down paper to cover your work surface before using adhesive spray.

Tape: Double-sided tape is a basic scrapbooking adhesive. Standard one-sided tape is also a must-have for scrapbookers. Apply one-sided tape to the back of eyelets or brads to keep the prongs from catching on the paper.

Foam Tape: Dots and squares are common shapes for foam tape. Double-sided, this adhesive gives your page elements a dimensional effect. Try using them with letters and scrapbooking titles and add some interest to your pages.

Scrapbooking adhesive is a basic supply for scrapbookers. Stock up on a variety of glue and adhesives before you go to any crop or workshop. Each project may call for a different type of scrapbooking adhesive. Choice the one that best fits your needs.
