Hi all - I’m just curious what glue you’re using to adhere felt/fabric to the backs of your alphas. I’ve made some keychains for gifts and want to use a durable glue so that if they clip the keychain to their purse it can hold up to being exposed to the elements and whatnot.

Thanks! 😇⭐️

i’ve been using superglue or gem-tac or clear nail polish so far (mainly because that’s what i have in the house), and it seems to have worked fine - although probably hasn’t been properly tested as i haven’t used them all that much

i use nail polish. imk, it is better than glue. [ glue can be a bit hard.] tho, for a wallhanging or keychain i consider it okay, because its not wearable.
hope this helps! ❤️

I use Aleene's Fabric Fusion and a little paintbrush to apply it. Very nice stuff! Highly recommend. It dries flexible, but firm and hasn't irritated MY sensitive skin yet.

I bought a 4 oz bottle on Amazon for about $7 and I don't think I'll be needing another for a long while because I just unscrew the lid, dip the paintbrush in, then screw the lid back on - didn't bother with taking the cap off the nozzle and snipping the end; glue dries out faster that way. 🙂

I use mod-podge to seal my bracelets. It's very cheap and I use a paint brush and my finger to apply it.
