target mailbox question

[jcgerard]

I was wondering what kind of adhesive I should use on the target mailbox? Do you use the regular two side adhesive or modge podge? I'm having a workshop in a few weeks and I would love to do this.

I used the red sticky strip tape and it works just fine.

I used modge podge to adhere the paper to the mailbox and red sticky tape to adhere the ribbon around the ends.

I just use double side stick tape-it works great! On the ribbon around the edge I use the snail. Hope that helps!

Thanks everyone for your help.

how do you keep the mod podge from bubbling? Is it like wallpaper that you have to keep smoothing out?

How do you fit the paper around the flag?

I've used the 1/2" hole punch where the bottom of the flag is (center it on the rivet), then cut a small -snip- to the edge of the paper and slide it around the base of the flag.

I used to use mono or something similar, but gets too expensive!! Mod Podge works well!

Someone on another thread mentioned once that if you use a sponge type brush, it helps keep the bubbles down. I have yet to use "pod" but hope to soon!

I used a regular glue stick.
