My tried and true adhesives of choice are the Mounting Squares, Medium Zots, and Foam Squares by Therm O Web. I use the Mounting Squares for paper and photos, the Zots for buttons, flowers, and small embellishments, and the Foam Squares to add dimension. When I need a liquid adhesive, I reach for the Quick Dry Adhesive by Scotch for 3M. Finally, I love Fabri-Tac by Beacon for adhering ribbon, felt, and fabric.

I love the SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L E-Z Runner, Therm O Web Mini Glue Dots (great for adhering small buttons, ribbon, and tonnes of other stuff!) and the Scotch by 3M Quick Dry adhesive for those times when a wet adhesive is best.

We asked all of our girls to share their list of favourite adhesives with us. After all, it is a very personal choice and the list of possibilities is nearly endless. Here is what they had to say:

I use Zots by Therm O Web for adhering buttons and such, and I use Foam Dots by EK Success for adding dimension to all of my projects.

I consistently reach for my E-Z Runner by SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L. It just “works.” When I am prepping for a class and am working out some details, I use the E-Z Dots Runner, which is a temporary adhesive also by 3L. I also love the Foam Squares by SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L as they come in two sizes and are the perfect height for adding great dimension.
I have used the SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L Photo Tape for years. It is what I use for the bulk of my projects—photos and paper. I like it because I know that once things are attached, they will not come off. I also use the SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L 3D Foam Squares and Glue Dots when I need to add dimension, and their regular Glue Dots for adhering things like buttons. Finally, I like Aleene's Paper Glaze by Duncan Enterprises for chipboard projects, or for when I need ”liquid” glue.

I use the Easy Stick Adhesive Runner by Duck the most. I LOVE it! I use it all the time and love how it is great for adhering photos too. When I want to create ultimate dimension, I use Therm O Web’s Foam Squares that come in two sizes. Love that both sizes come in the same package. For buttons or charms, I use Zots, also by Therm O Web. I use the flat ones for buttons, and the thicker ones for adding a little dimension to paper embellishments. I also use a Zot to adhere the end of a piece of ribbon to my page. For hand-cut or die-cut shapes, I use Xyron sticker machine products. They are such a quick and efficient way to make intricately cut papers stick.
