Join in the Cheer ornaments

I just had to pull out the Big Shot Join in the Cheer die cut strip and try it on some glass ornaments.  The question was – which adhesive would work best?  I’ve done some experimenting so you can skip the parts that didn’t work!  I started by running the die cut through my Big Shot machine using a 3 x 12 inch piece of Real Red.  After I cut the individual words apart I tried using my Xyron (machine), glue dots, Snail adhesive and Crystal Effects to adhere the words to the glass balls.  They all stuck to the ornaments – at least at first!  To make a long story short, the only adhesive that held up well before, during, and after was the Crystal Effects.  Yes, it takes a bit longer to allow for drying – but the end results were great!  Here are the ornaments – minus the “cheer” because the Xyron adhesive didn’t hold up at all and I scrapped that entire ornament and will have to remake it!







Hummmmm, they could use some bows!  So what are you waiting for?  Get busy making ornaments!  Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran
