Nothing is more frustrating than finishing a project only to find lifting paper, loose embellishments, or glue in the wrong place. Choosing the right craft glue helps your work stay neat, secure, and ready to share.
Our collection includes glue for crafting, tape runners, glue pens, adhesive sheets, foam pads, and glue sticks for card making, scrapbooking, journaling, and other paper crafts. Whether you need precise control, an instant hold, or an even bond across large surfaces, you can choose an adhesive that suits the materials and finish you have in mind.
The best craft glue depends on the materials you are joining and how quickly you need them to bond. Tape runners work well for paper and photos, glue pens suit intricate pieces, foam pads add depth, and tacky glue can provide a stronger bond for fabric or heavier embellishments.
Before ordering, consider:
Testing an adhesive on a small leftover piece can help you avoid marks, wrinkles, or damage to a special project.
Different adhesive formats solve different crafting problems.
Glue pens give you control when working with detailed die cuts, lettering, glitter, and small embellishments. Their precise application makes it easier to add adhesive without covering the surrounding paper.
They are a useful choice when making handmade gifts, layered sentiments, or intricate card designs.
Tape runners apply a thin, mess-free layer of adhesive, making them ideal for attaching paper, cardstock, photos, and journaling panels.
Choose a tape runner when you want to work quickly or assemble several cards at once. Because the adhesive contains less moisture than white glue, it can also help reduce wrinkling on larger paper layers.
Pair your adhesive with coordinating designs from our paper and cardstock collection.
Foam pads create an instant hold while lifting selected pieces away from the card surface. Use them beneath toppers, die-cut sentiments, photos, and embellishments when you want extra depth.
A single layer gives a subtle raised finish. Thicker pads or additional layers can create a stronger pop, but check the finished card before mailing it.
Adhesive sheets provide clean, even coverage across large areas. They are especially useful for detailed die cuts, paper layers, and designs where liquid glue could spread beyond the edges.
Apply the sheet before cutting when possible. This turns even delicate shapes into easy-to-position stickers.
Hot glue is useful for dimensional decorations, fabric, wire, and some wood or metal pieces. Low-temp glue guns offer more control for delicate materials, while high-temp glue can create a strong bond for heavier projects. Take care around heat and allow the glue gun to cool safely after use.
Tacky glue is thicker than standard white glue and works well for embellishments, fabric, handmade models, and mixed-media projects.
White glue is an inexpensive, reliable choice for lightweight paper crafts. Some formulas are washable or dry with a clear or matte finish, so check the product label before use.
For plastic, resin, jewelry, or repairs, confirm that the adhesive is designed to bond that particular surface. Super glue may suit certain small repairs, but it is not the right glue for every crafting project.
Good preparation makes a noticeable difference:
Reliable adhesive helps cards, scrapbook layouts, decorations, and handmade gifts stay looking their best. Our craft glue collection is designed to work alongside Crafter’s Companion paper, dies, stamps, and card-making tools, so it is easier to select products for a complete project.
