The Best Glue for Button Art
Anyone can amass a huge collection of orphaned buttons over time as unworn and long-gone shirts and sweaters have relinquished theirs. But whether you're an amateur seamstress or a DIY expert, making use of these versatile, colorful materials can be challenging, as gluing plastic can be tricky: many plastics are difficult to glue together due to low porousness that is, they're smooth and slick with nothing for glue to bond with.
Luckily, Tacky Glue's fast tacking, super strong bonding properties are great for using to glue buttons to other surfaces and make Original Tacky Glue the best glue for button art.
