I have all of these different kinds of glue. Now Casey tells me I might need one more?
I have a wealth of large pieces pieces of card stock. They are saved from the xray film boxes at work. I know the girls there wonder why I'm always taking them home...
I made a pattern of the back wall of the kid's room.
Then I found this red and white striped fabric in my stash. I think it will look great as wallpaper?
Now I need to attach the fabric to the wall. Casey did say that you can use watered down white glue. I think I'll try that before I go and buy more glue!
So here I go. Testing the glue I have and waiting for it to dry!
Blessings,

I think that will be adorable wallpaper! Yes glue is really the best for gluing down paper without any wrinkles or bubbles- if you see it you should grab a jar- and it lasts forever! I love it! Sorry, didn't mean to add to your glue stash :)
ReplyDeleteThat stripe will be great! And, yes, "Yes" glue is one of the best for dollhouse wallpapering. I believe it is a bookbinders glue (or something like that) and has the added property of being, I believe, acid-free. That wonderful cardboard from the xray film boxes is also....I have a small stash of it from my sister and I love it!
ReplyDeleteOne can never have too many glues....or is that shoes?? LOL

The fabric will look great as a wallpaper. And hope that I won't add your glue stash, but I find spray glue the best to attach fabric and paper wallpaper, no wrinkels and dries so fast :)

Yes glue is wonderful (a little pricey) but a little goes a long way. I used a putty knife to apply thin coat of yes glue.
ReplyDeleteI have every kind of glue you have pictured plus about 20 others...lol. You can never have enough glue.
Elmers white glue is ok but I find that the kids stick glue is even better for paper. Elmers glues tends to loose its hold in high humidity. You live in the south too so I know you deal with high humidity. It also soaks thru the fabric and leaves shiney spots where it dries. The tub of yes glue is a good buy. No one is gonna judge you for having 20 different kinds of glue all miniaturist do. :)

Thanks everyone! I ended up using spray adhesive for the fabric. It worked great. Fast too! No waiting.
ReplyDeleteThen I attached the wall with double stick permanent tape. Again, no waiting!
Love that!
