Brads, eyelets, staples, or sometimes I use Glue Dots but you can see them a bit.

Same as she said or run thru a Xyron machine and that does not show.

really, i would think the Xyron glue would show. hmm. anyway, i agree with the others. sometimes i paint them or just the edges or put designs on them and i can put adhesive beneath the areas that are covered.

hmmm. I figured the Xyron adhesive would show on the back of them. I want to put my husband's name on a layout and I hate to use brads or eyelets on every single letter. sheesh!

When I used them, I used pigment ink instead of alcohol ink, and I couldn't get ANY adhesive to stick. I ended up using brads on each letter, and I wasn't too dissatisfied with the results.

I used the Xyron with a lot of success. it is a completely clear adhesive. And it covers the entire surface therefore you get a clean covered surface for vellum and ghost shapes. Try it on a scrap to see. I have always had success.

I use Xyron . Also, you can put the ink on the top so it doesn't affect the adhesive. I LOVE ghost alphas and shapes!
