Hot Tip Tuesday


Acetate is often used to make "windows" on shaker cards, fun folds and other papercraft projects. One of the issues you can have when working with acetate, is that its non-porous nature means that certain glues and tapes won't hold. In order to make the joins extra secure, try sanding the edges of the acetate and punching small holes that act as "wells" for the adhesive. Just make sure the sanded edges and holes are in positions that will be covered by card stock or paper before you begin.

Hi Beccy this is a brilliant tip. Do you dust the acetate with anti static powder as well? Take care. Hugs Jackie
