The Buckle Boutique Self-Adhesive Rhinestone Sticker Sheets
Hey crafters! I am so excited to show you today’s product up for review by The Buckle Boutique. These rhinestone sticker sheets are AMAZING and so unique compared to other rhinestone sheets on the market. Before we get into the nitty-gritty lets see how The Buckle Boutique describes these gorgeous sheets of bling: “Add sparkle and shine to scrapbook pages, cards, favors, personal electronics, anything that needs a little or lots of BLING! Because the 3mm “stones” are actually a gel or […]
My Favorite Crafty Things: Spray Basting Adhesive
When I interviewed Carolina Moore on our Craft Countdown, I was thrilled that one of her top-favorite crafting supplies including a sprapy basting adhesive (spray baste.) I love it too- even though I do way more papercrafting than sewing. But after you watch this video, you’ll see why I love it and you might, too. I’d love to hear your questions or comments!
Review: Stencib Self Adhesive Stencils
Stenciling for home decor is one of those things that cycles in and out. One minute it is super popular and the next minute it – not so much. Lately though, I seem to be seeing more and more stenciled projects. One of the things I always hated about stenciling was the fact that the stencils want to move around all over the place. If I am stenciling a wall I have to juggle the stencil and some type of […]
DCWV Adhesive Fabric Stack
When I shared my favorite new items from CHA this past January, the DCWV Adhesive Fabric Stack was hands-down one of the products that I was most excited about. It’s time to dig in and see how it works! Now, this product is still so new that DCWV doesn’t have very much on it’s site yet about it. As it states: Try these with your personal die-cutting machines or paper-crafting machines to cut out intricate shapes. Our fabric paper is […]
Comparison of Adhesive Tapes
You should know by now that the options for adhesive are almost limitless- wet adhesives, try adhesives, solvent-based, epoxy, water-based, runners, sticks, and of course TAPES. Today I’m going to give you an overview of adhesive tapes that have a release backing, are tissue-thin, and can be ripped with your hands- no scissors necessary. So move over, red-line tape! We are going to compare three different brands that create similar products- Scor-Tape, Kool-Tak Premium Pro, and iCraft by Therm-o-Web. First, […]
Product Highlight: Burlap Paper and the Adhesive Cork Stack from DCWV
I love adding different textures into my paper and mixed-media craft projects. So when I got these amazing Cork Paper Stacks and Burlap Paper Stacks from DCVW, I was really interested in figuring out all the ways I could incorporate them into my crafts! Let’s take a closer look. These stacks are 6X6, and the Cork Stack is adhesive-backed and has 15 sheets, while the Burlap Paper Stack is NOT adhesive and boasts 24 sheets. The cork actually has a […]
3D Foam Adhesive Shapes from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L
I ran across a bunch of great things at the Summer 2013 Create-N-Connect #CHAshow… and these little gems are one of them. Literally stopping me in my tracks, 3D Foam Adhesive Shapes from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L are a great blend of form and function in a convenient package. These foam sheets have adhesive on both sides, protected by release paper. However, instead of your simple dots or squares, these foam stickers have fun SHAPES… such as hearts, wings, flowers, […]
Craft Product Review: Helmar 3D Adhesives
I’ve already had a wonderful time review Helmar’s 450 Quick Dry Adhesive as well as their Acid Free Glue; reviewing their Zapdots and Scrap Dots was no exception. I always have my eye out for good adhesives and Helmar proves itself time and again. Zapdots are 3D double-sided adhesive squares that are acid-free. They come in three colors; black, white and clear. The black and white are mounted on nice, thick squares, whereas the clear were made of a plastic […]

Craft Product Review: Design Adhesives by ClearSnap
I love to make handmade cards and embellished tags. Sometimes they need just a little “special decoration”- and Design Adhesives can do the trick! These clear “rub-on” type stickers allow you to put a little design almost anywhere, but then customize it with your own glitter, flocking, chalks, even embossing powder! Here’s how they are described on the website: Create beautiful projects, cards and pages in seconds with these double-sided patterned adhesives. Perfect for use with embossing powder, glitter, foil, […]
MyStik glue runner by Scrapbook Adhesives
Every crafter knows that adhesive is one of the most important tools we can have in our arsenal. I was so excited to see the MyStik adhesive tool by Scrapbook Adhesives to review! According to Scrapbook Adhesives, the MyStik adhesive tool is a, “Fully customizable and refillable adhesive tool.” I couldn’t have phrased this better myself. One part of the tool is the adjustable comfort handle and the other is the actual adhesive cartridge that you can easily change out […]
Comparison of Adhesives for Foil, Flocking, and Glitter on Fabric
One of the things I love about fabric is the ability to manipulate the look by dyeing, discharging, and painting. You can take your fabric crafts to “the next level” by adding foils, flocking and glitter- but for that, you need adhesives specially made for their ability to remain sticky when dry. So today I’m going to compare three types of “sticky” glues- ones that remain tacky when dried- to see which works best on fabric crafts. And to see […]
Guest Post: Introduction to Weldbond Adhesive
The other day I was talking to my friend and jewelry artist Beth Martin and she started telling me about the great adhesive she uses with her beach glass creations. Finally, I said, “Beth, you need to write me an article!” And God bless her, she did. I hope her enthusiastic recommendation of Weldbond will help out fellow crafters. I have spent the past several years designing jewelry and home accessories using beach glass, porcelain and findings from the shores […]
Craft Product Review: Amazing EcoGlue Craft Adhesive
In my quest to find products that are more “green”- that is, Earth and human friendly, I found a product by the makers of Amazing Goop, Eclectic Products. I love me some good glue, and if they had a “non-toxic” version of Goop, then I wanted to be the one to bring it to you. Meet EcoGlue Craft Adhesive! I checked out the properties as listed on the package and website, and this is what I found: Amazing EcoGlue® is […]
Craft Product Review: Zip Dry Paper Glue by Beacon Adhesives
For papercrafters, adhesive is important. Which glue to use with which project can make or break a scrapbook page, mini-book, or altered art piece. In my quest to bring you the best adhesives for your project, today I’m trying out Zip Dry Paper Glue by Beacon Adhesives. It’s a clear (if hazy) liquid glue- about the consistency of fresh honey that has a moderate odor. However, the odor is not readily apparent when you are using it. (I actually had […]
Craft Product Review: Elmer’s Craft Bond Acid-Free Multi-Purpose Spray Adhesive
I’m wrapping up Adhesive Week with a spray product. I hope you’ve found this week informative! Make sure you go back and read the other reviews if you’ve missed them! There have been at least 3 times in the past month when I’ve been in the middle of a crafting dilemma- what glue to use? Wet is too WET sometimes, and there is only so many feet of dry adhesive you can use on one project. There are times when […]
Craft Product Review: Kid’s Choice Glue By Beacon Adhesives
Day Four! I’m having an “Adhesive Week†here at Craft Test Dummies! We need all kinds of adhesives for all kinds of crafting, and I’m so glad to be able to share some new favorites with you. So the genesis of this review came from an unlikely place- Twitter! Once of my followers asked me if I knew of a non-toxic glue to use with kids that would adhere as well as E-6000 for sticking pin backs onto ceramic pieces. […]
Craft Product Review: Precision Point Adhesive by Creative Memories
Welcome to Day Two of “Adhesives Week!” I continue exploring glues and tapes so you can make the best decisions based on your craft and your budget. This is an adhesive I stumbled onto by accident. It just so happened I was asked to locate the Precision Point Adhesive Pen for a friend, and honestly- it was so much trouble to find a consultant, if figured that while I was at it I should buy a few for myself. I’ve […]
Glittered Napkin Card Techniques- Three Ways
Glittered Napkin Card Techniques- Three Ways The holiday season is upon us and that means making cards and tags. That also means it’s time to pull out the pretty printed paper napkins and make some GORGEOUSNESS! So, as my mom and I were discussing, there are a few ways to make Glittered Napkin Cards. But which why is the best? I suppose it depends on cost, the amount of time it takes, and what you already have on hand. Of course, […]
