Can I ask a question about the advent calendars above? I bought one of these and want to use scrapbook paper to decorate- should I use craft glue or can I use modge podge? I was planning on using modge podge to glue and then put a clear coat over it so that it stands the test of time, but I'm not quite sure that's a good idea. I don't always have a positive relationship with modge podge results. Oh, and I'm new to crafting...
ReplyDeleteKate, I would not use Modge Podge for this project. The adhesive used on the project is listed above and it is called Beacon's 3 & 1. It is a liquid adhesive but dries very fast and is like a hot glue gun without the heat. ;) Happy crafting!
