Glue sticks are the economic choice to adhere elements of a scrapbook layout. They are good for kids and and adults alike. They come in permanent and repositionable and they can adhere most papers. The Pioneer glue stick can even glue a penny to a wall. They are a little messy though and may moisten and warp a scrapbook paper if too liberally applied.
Glues are economic. They tend to be the least precise, but they are quick to apply to a large area. Be careful not to apply too much to your scrapbook layout or apply to too thin a patterned paper. It may warp the surface.
These scrapbooking glues are very strong and can be applied very precisely, especially the pens. They can get messy, so we generally only use them for ribbons, threads and bigger embellishments.
Refills for tape runners are easy to put into place. The whole mechanism comes with the tape so there is little chance of unspooling and ruining the entire runner. Be careful when using the runner after installation, the Herma runners will break irreparably if you run it the wrong way. They tend to last, so it's a good idea to keep an extra one handy so you don't run out in mid scrapbook
We carry a variety of spray adhesives and seals for use with transparencies and vellum. They are also useful for protecting altered objects; just apply before the embellishment.
Tape runners are some of the most popular scrapbook adhesives available. They are very convenient to use and do not require time to dry. They come in permanent and repositionable varieties. There isn't too much different between the various brands of adhesives; however the Glue Arts adhesives are the least expensive on a per foot cost. They are very good with paper and pictures. They are not as good with ribbon and embellishments where a stronger adhesive is required. A repositionable adhesive will give you a little time to decide whether the placement is optimal or if it needs to be repositioned. In exchange for this flexibility, it is not as strong as a permanent adhesive. Use these on layouts which will be kept in a plastic protector. Permanent adhesives are stronger and can be used for minibooks with less concern about pictures falling out.
