Bubble magnets. What kind of glue?

[AMaloy314]

Sorry if this has already been answered somewhere, but I can't get the search feature to work.

I'm going to make the bubble magnets for Christmas gifts this year and need a little help. I've looked at the FamilyFun site for directions and it looks pretty easy. In the list of supplies, it lists tacky glue. I'm not exactly sure what that is. I want to use a glue that will be strong enough to keep the marbles on the magnets, but I want to make sure it will dry clear so the picture doesn't get distorted or cloudy when I glue it to the underside of the bubble. What kind of glue fits this discription?

Has anyone made these yet? What did you use?

Thanks!

I recently made some of these using the directions from Family Fun. We used it as a craft at our school's family night. I used Alene's Tacky glue in the gold bottle. It will dry clear. You do not need to use much. I bought flat glass marbles at Dollar Tree. There was about 20-30 in a bag and could get some that were 1/2 inch big. Wait until the glue dries than put on the magnets. They hold up really well.

Thank you!

I'll head out later today to see if Wal-Mart carries that kind of glue.

I appreciate the help!

Thanks again for the help!

I made these and they turned out great! I'm going to make another set for grandparents!
