cardbox makers...

What glue do I use to make use the fabric stays put?

Re: cardbox makers...

I am thinking hot glue works the best but now I have a new question...
Fabric or wrapping paper? I have round boxes...what do you think?

I had to use double stick tape. Hot glue left a bump and it looked ugly. Crazy glue leaked right through. Craft glue slimed all over and didn't work. In the end it was double stick tape

I think you can use either. I think that if you use fabric, you need to make sure it's wrapped tightly because otherwise it looks bulky and messy, paper I think is easier but it depends on what look you want!

Thanks! I would rather use wrapping paper but I am not sure how it would look. Also not sure how to wrap round boxes!

Also you can use a spray adhesive.

If you decide to use wrapping paper they sell wrapping paper now that doesn't require tape. It's self adhesive.

I think you could do AMAZING things with wrapping paper and round boxes! You could go get a bunch of different wedding style wrapping paper, with the different white and ivory designs, very elegant looking and wrap one box in each! Then just decorate the boxes a little. I don't think wrapping round boxes is difficult, just take your time :)

Rinne I used glue dots as well. I actually did my box in both satin fabic and wrapping paper (use the shiny kind). I'm actually really happy with the way it came out that way.

I used a glue stick i bought from Michael's to make my fabric stick because other glues seeped thru the fabric.

I totally agree! Go to Joann's or Michaels and get Zots or Memory dots, they are the greatest little super adhesive glue dots, they also sell little rollers that look like the white out correction tape and those work good too. If you get the dots just make sure you get the flat ones and not the 3D ones. If you have any ?'s feel free to FM :)
