WOYWW

What's on your work desk Wednesday - nothing paper related this week.

I'm trying to get on top of the stock I need for a craft fair stall I have in a couple of weekends time.

These are some hair clips with flat backed embellishments glued on. I say glued on in very loose terms! I did them a couple of weeks ago with an all purpose glue and they seemed fine so I bagged them up ready for carding and then when I came back to them on Monday they had come unstuck.

Last night I had another go but with contact adhesive this time. This resulted in lots of stuck togetherness of my fingers. I've left them overnight but they are still a little tacky so I'll leave them for the rest of the day and see if the glue hardens up and they remain stuck. Does anybody know of a uk available glue that works well for plastic to metal please?



Next step is the bin with them and I will learn not to try them again.

Oh that would be a great shame, they look lovely! Can't help you with the glue question, sorry. I suppose you have tried super glue?

I have enjoyed looking at your space
Have a good week and happy hopping!

Fab slides and yes I think Glossy accents might work! Take care, it's Thursday now so I'm late but I can never get through the list in one go! Love Zo xx 75
