There are a few of ways to adhere your letters to your projects without getting glue all over yourself or your work surface.
- Use a glue pen and pick up the letters with tweezers.
- If your letters are super tiny. Take a scrap and pile some glue from my glue pen, and then paint the glue on with a very tiny artist's brush. Works well and keeps the glue from getting everywhere. I pick them up with tweezers.
- Xyron sticker makers! Basically you'd cut out your letters then run each letter through your Xyron to convert it into a sticker.
- A glue stick will work great if you have a large enough space on your letter to keep you from getting glue all over your fingers.
- Mini Glue Dots are also great if you don't mind putting on each dot separately.
- My Favorite besides the glue pen is using an adhesive roller. Get a scrap piece of paper and place all of your letters face down, roll the adhesive roller on the back of all of the letters, then pick up the letters with tweezers and apply them to your project. Yes, you'll end up getting some adhesive on your scrap piece of paper, but it's okay. You would have wasted more if you would have used your Xyron sticker maker.
Good luck and let me know which is your favorite method and why. :)
P.S. These techniques work great with the letters you cut out from your Cricut Machine or any digital or manual die cutters.
