Cricut help...
Evening all!
Hope this is in the right room.



I have a Cricut that I love! I have been learning the nuiances of using it & have finally started to use it for various proects.

I'm wondering...how do you adhere the things you've cut w/a Cricut? I'm talking mostly about small shapes or letters.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!



Thanks!!!

For teeny tiny pieces like lettering, I use a glue pen. I like the ZIG glue pen, but any brand will do.

A friend of mine had a glue pen that worked great for the shapes or letters that were either too big or too small for my xyrons. I have the 1.5" and the 5" xyrons. I didn't want to waste the xyron paper for pieces that were between the two sizes, so the pen was quick and easy to use. Just like using a ball point pen. I was very impressed with the how my pieces adhered to my pages.

I use a glue pen for really small letters. For larger things I love zots!

For very small parts, definately a ZIG pen. I've been scrapping for over 12 years and that's the one adhesive I have stuck with (pardon the pun!) since day one. If the pieces are big enough, I sometimes use my Xyron X.

If you want the item/letter to stand out, use a 3D Glue-Dot/Zot

Ditto with the Xyrons and the glue pen! I couldn't live without my Xyrons but when I'm out of adhesive, the glue pen is perfect for the little letters.
