How to -- Micro beads

[123SA]

I bought MS micro beads and I have wacky tack tape - -the red tape -- I have all kinds of glue. WHat do I use to adhere the micro beads?

I have only used them once, in a class. We just applied the wacky tack to the layout, poured the beads on, and pressed them down. I put the layout in an album with page protectors, and it has stayed. Not sure how well it would work if it was something that would be handled often.

I used liquid scrapbook glue to adhere the microbeads.

I think I will experiment with both tomorrow. Thanks!

I have a pen with microbeads on it. I think you just put the tape on and smoosh (technical term there) the beads into it.

Have fun, show us what you make!

Hey I made those pens one year for Christmas
presents. I used the red lined tape. It was from
the carol Duvall show. I loved that show.



Love the technical talk Jennifer !!

Gotta use the right terms

How did it turn out?

I got side tracked. Actually, I'll be honest. I put them in the basement by accident and have been too lazy to go down and get them. I plan to use them on a letter for the MICKEY word group.

Honesty is a good thing.

Are you going to do the whole letter, a horizontal/vertical/diagonal stripe?

I wanted to do a vertical stripe along the E. I was thinking either patterned paper for the top layer with the vertical stripe of beads, or flocking the rest of the letter - -but I would have to piece that together somehow.

I use MS craft glue and that works great. I let it dry overnight. The micro beads are so fun and look really cool and different.

I have the 3M 2 ended glue pen. I put a dot of glue where I want the bead and then use my cricut "dental pic" (once again a technical term) to set them into place. I usually set the beads one at a time and I usually only use them as accents, not large areas.
