HELP!! we are putting together our std's and we cant figure out...

how to attach our magnet to the cardstock without ruining the card stock or the magnet. we went to michaels and got completly confused by all the adhesives and tapes. some were premenant and others looked like tape that would ruin the cardstock. we did buy these tape dots but when we tested them out it ruined both the paper and the magnet. specifically what did everyone use? thanks girls

Is the cardstock the matte kind? Maybe a low-temp hot glue gun?

its matte and i definatly dont think im hand enough to use a glue gun. i was thinking more along the lines of a double face tape

I used Elmer's blue gel school glue. I put the glue on the MAGNET not the paper and only a thin thin smear. Waited a couple seconds and stuck them together. It seemed to work ok. The trick is not to use too much and to wait long enough for the glue to be semi dry so that it will stick - but not BOND to the paper.

Hope that helps.
