Attaching paper to cardstock

Oct '12 Rysmom05

If I wanted to attach an entire 12x12 piece of say for instance 'polka dot' paper to a piece of cardstock for stability, what would be the best way to do this?

Double stick tape.

RE: PokeyMom: Double stick tape.

I would use whatever adhesive you normally use to attach paper to paper. For me that would be double stick tape or more specifically-a tape runner. I would probably go all around the edges to make sure the two pieces stayed together well and I didn't get one corner or edge that popped up.

I know what not to use?! Glue sticks. Well its bad for really thin paper which I am assuming yours is or you wouldn't wan to make it stronger. Glue sticks wrinkle the paper!

I'd use spray adhesive.

Spray adhesive for a really big piece, I guess, but I'd just use my ATG. NEVER a glue stick!!

I like to use a glue runner. Quick and it sticks well.

ATG ... I don't go all around the edges though ... maybe 2 inches in each corner, 2 inches at the center of each edge and another 2 inches in the middle

ATG, staples, brads or eyelets.

Anything except liquid adhesive - and I'm including glue sticks in the "no" list.

I would use double sided tape around the edges and a few bits randomly elsewhere to prevent "bubbling" if you use brads and don't get the back and the front exactly together.

Thank you all for the much needed help!!

How about stitching them together for a different effect. I'd generally use a narrow double side tape on the edges but you have to make sure the edges are straight and line up. if when you scrap the Lo you use a few brads this will help hold it all together. Or more sticthing.: )
