Rick Rack Help
 
Any suggestions on the best way to adhere rick rack to a card front? I am really hoping for "tried & true" suggestions. Thanks in advance :)

I like tacky glue, but use it sparingly so it won't warp your CS.

I've used the mini glue dots and they work nicely - I used a glue dot every inch and half or so and it really secured the rick rack nicely.

xyron works good. Use the little X and run the rick rack through it!

I use my Tombow Mono Adhesive and just "tuck in" the adhesive that sticks over the ric-rac edges. The ric-rac is too thick to wrap under CS layers, so to keep the ends from fraying I snip the ends evenly, dip in clear embossing powder and heat (I read this somewhere on SCS and gave it a try. Now I use it ALL THE TIME!).

THANK YOU for all the suggestions! I can't believe I didn't think about putting the rick rack through my Xyron. Duh!

I use red line tape for ribbons etc. I've also used Crafters Pick The Ultimate glue.

I use my xyron for all kinds of ribbon and rick rack - it's great!

I use my ATG and depending on the size of the rickrack I may have to run my finger along the edges to pull the glue to the backside. It holds really well and doesn't show through.
