I use Tombow Metal Glue, which is for adhering metal embellishments to paper -- I figure paper is nothing but wood pulp, and magnets are made of a material that's like metal! It's with the other...

Maria those candle lollies are adorable! I'm out of time (and money!) for adding any new projects for tomorrow's fair, but I'm definitely filing that idea away for next time! :)

Tombow makes a great glue that's designed to adhere paper to metal -- it's in a gray bottle, shaped just like the one for the Mono Multi, and I've purchased it from Michael's.
