20 Best Glue To Use On Felt (2022 Updated)

Stuck felt to other felt. For a project that is not going to be worn this is probably all you need. If the felt is on a garment or something that’s gonna get a lot of use additional methods of securing might be needed.

I lost a few small (1 cm x 1 cm) pieces from the shirt I made when I washed it, which is pretty impressive since I only used this and a coat of fabric Mod Podge to attach the felt to other felt and sewed the base felt to the shirt.

I read the negative reviews first–gives me a better idea on the products naughty list. I then read the good reviews and decided I’d give it a try for my felt project. I got it on a same-day delivery choice since I was anxious not to waste another day or 3.

well worth it. I did a test on a scrap piece of felt and was amazed by how well it worked. Yes, very thick, but the dry time was minimal, it stuck for sure, it’s not hard like a glue gun would make it, and there are no glue gun strings to worry about.

My project was a wreath of multiple hand-cut leaves on an 18″ pillow. It turned out perfect and certainly gift-worthy.

Glue bottle was cut and when I attempted to apply, it oozed out the bottom and all over my hands. It looks like it was cut with a box cutter when stocked. I threw it away, because it was a sticky mess.

I mentioned it to the store and they said I should bring it back to the store, but it was too messy to deal with returning it.

I am an embroiderer who sometimes creates landscaped fabric backgrounds. I used to machine stitch the layers down, but on the advice of a YouTuber, I started using Aleene’s Tacky Glue. I squirt the glue into a small container, then use either a fine paint brush, a mascara brush or even a cotton swab to spread it on my fabric piece.

Much easier than running over to the machine every few minutes!.

Aleena’s offers a variety of different glues for many uses. This tacky glue was terrific as it gave me the exact tackiness that I was needing for my cardstock project. It wasn’t watery like some other glues.

It adhered quickly, dried quickly. Would definitely recommend this glue as one of the top glues.

Tacky Glue is great for using with crafts, even with elementary students. A small amount is all that is needed to hold and it dries so quickly. In a class room situation, putting some Tacky glue in small containers and giving each students a small flat wooden sticks allows each child to have access.

The glue worked even with gluing sequence and jewels on an oval wooden bead.

DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!!! You have to go online to download the detailed safety sheet, which I did after feeling extremely ill/drowsy from ~5 minutes of careful use in a well-ventilated area. While the package says to use in a well-ventilated area and to contact poison control if ingested, the multi-page online safety sheet says to use a respirator while using the glue and that inhalation can be fatal.

FATAL. This is not in the fine print of the packaging! Neither is the fact that it can cause loss of fertility, birth defects, loss of an unborn child and cancer from prolonged usage. And for a product that is so toxic, you’d think they would find a way to keep it from spitting glue when you open it and oozing glue even when you’re not squeezing the tube.

There are a lot of other brands of fabric glue that are non-toxic. I tried the gorilla glue because I like their other, less-toxic products. But this product is NOT SAFE in the slightest.

Works very well after it sets. Make sure you let your project sit for about 24 hours before you move on after the gluing step. It will leak through some fabrics. Most of the spots did not leak through but a couple did.

It worked for what I needed it to do. I glued magnets to my fabric and they are staying put. This was my first time using this product.

Great price for flannel today. Many options to choose from. Making catnip toys to donate to shelters. It would be great if Joann’s tech folks worked a little harder. Web site and prices in store often are different.

Staff knows it too. Staff is great.

Used Scotch Quick-Drying Tacky Glue to reconstitute torn thin cardboard display packaging of household products for resale with great results! Does not swell, “wet” or discolor paper, leaving no obvious lumpy aftermath.

Excess squeeze-out wipes away easily, leaving no crusty, shiny or colored residue. Sets in less than 60 seconds, leaving a very strong yet flexible and invisible bond. My only real complaint would be that the little plastic applicator cap cracked & crumbled after only a few uses.

I also found the name a bit misleading, as this seems mainly engineered for paper, unlike Aleene’s® Original Tacky Glue® which seems more of an all-purpose crafts adhesive. However, careful label inspection had me try this glue, and I’m glad I did.

Excellent product; Thanks 3M! (How about a name like “Paper Magic” or “Paper Perfect” and leave Aleene’s® alone?).

For any paper modeler, having the right glue is as important as having sharp scissors. Scotch Quick Drying Tacky Glue, is the absolute best for assembling model buildings, trees, and attaching small parts.

The glue is thick, not runny, cleans up easily, and dries in a reasonable time. As a companion, I also suggest buying the Scotch twin pack of Wrinkle-Free Glue Sticks for larger areas of flat surface gluing, without the warp often caused by paper glues.

I’m having the same issue with the tip that many others are having. Although the package says Precision Tip, it’s no longer precise. It’s no more precise than a child’s bottle of school glue. It was clearly evident when my old bottle ran out and I had to begin using my new bottle in the middle of a project.

I ended up with a big mess on my hands! My solution has been to transfer the new glue to the old bottle, but that results in waste, and not everyone has an old bottle. Please give us our old tip back!.

I use Aileen’s tacky glue when teaching students of all ages and abilities. One of its properties is that it is thick and slow flowing. I make sure to explain this to the students and tell them not to get frustrated because it’s just a better glue than school glue.

Lay the bottle on its side between uses, so it doesn’t take as long to flow to the tip next time. It’s harder for the students to squeeze too much out, which is great! Also, I purchase the mini bottles for ease of handling and refill from the large bottle.

It’s a good value.

Professional builder of model railroads and dioramas. Provides reliable and consistent results for all my adhesive applications and needs. Easy to apply in most temperatures. Workable set up time for minor adjustments.

Dries quickly with minimal clamping, pinning or weights. Has minimal odor when first applied. A versatile product that I’ve used for many years.

I use this to make tiny strips of paper stand on their edge to outline my Quilled Art Pieces. Most glues you have to wait for them to become Tacky(sticky) but not Aleene’s! It comes out ready to go and it dries clear as crystal.

No one ever knows it’t the secret behind your work! It comes in several size bottles which us a must for Quilling because you made need a large area filled or a tiny corner, not to worry they have one for every need.

The thing that is not so great is. NOTHING! Cleans up with water and never turns yellow.

Finally! This packaging is perfect, this makes it so much easier while making paper projects. A perfect, fine line is dispensed with the use, and, as its name implies, it is always ready. I use larger bottles still if more glue is needed, but this is perfect for small pieces while creating.

Thank you Aleene’s!!!.

Love this glue. I use it to make my book flowers. Great hold, , and love the new upside down bottle that helps the glue flow!

I love tacky glue, it glues everything without getting your paper too wet. this one stands on it’s head, which makes it ready whenever you need it.

Did not get the correct glue. Can’t figure out how to contact the seller. He is a seller that sells through Walmart. I needed the permanent waterproof glue.

This stuff works great on craft objects that are heavy, oddly shaped, or don’t fit together well. We apply it with wooden craft or popsicle stick (not included), and it allows the kids to stick things together without having to hold them in place too long (you know children’s attention spans.

) I can’t speak to permanent adherence, but I can’t think of a time when any child’s project came apart before leaving the library when using this product. I would recommend it to anyone crafting with kids, or who does collage or three-dimensional craft projects.

Awesome glue! Thick and holds quickly, dries clear. Just what I needed to complete some holiday wreaths~!

My nephew had a meltdown in gifted because he had to make a bridge out of popsicle sticks and glue, unfortunately he had the wrong glue. After I calmed him down I explained to him it wasn’t his fault and that he simply had the wrong glue.

I told him to give me a list of all the things he needed and that I would make sure he had the proper items. I immediately went to Michael’s and purchased a couple of these glues so I would be prepared when he ran out of the first bottle.

The very next morning during his first break he came running out of his room all excited that he made a great looking bridge. I was impressed and he was happy. I would highly recommend this glue!.

Not every glue is useful for a particular project. My husband is creating a bookcase miniature scene and Aleene’s Quick Dry Tacky Glue was absolutely the best adhesive for tiny parts. Just enough tackiness to allow repositioning, and great hold for the finished positions, for both paper and wood.

So happy to have found this for his project.

I’ve used this glue to re-effects pockets and badges of my outdoor jackets, and aside from vinyl or windbreaker fabric, it holds very well. I’ve glued Velcro onto fabric without needing to sew. It’s a bit still to use in hems but great for applique.

I LOVE this product, Tear Mender has become my go to for fixing my husband’s jeans, work coats, and work truck seat covers, oh yea, and our wall tent! It works fast and holds forever. It does NOT dry clear but is yellow, so be careful where you decide to glue, or where it drips! Don’t let it drip across your project on the way to where you actually want to glue.

For all these projects I have found that it works best to place the patch on the inside, then place a small line of glue around the opening on the outside to glue it down to the patch. This makes it most inconspicuous.

I pour it on a plastic lid and then use a pencil tip to dip in the glue and apply it right where I want it. Please don’t ever stop making Tear Mender. When I found out about it I wondered why no one told me about it before, it is wonderful!.

So, this stuff smells kind of like pepsin; Think Pepto-Bismol or Lysol toilet bowl cleaner. I never really liked the smell, but it’s not terrible. When exposed to air, it dries within minutes, becoming a rubbery white, silicon texture.

The benefit is that you can hold something in place in real-time to have it set. The downside is you have to work quickly, or it’ll dry out. The stuff has a shelf life of about a year in the fridge if you reseal the bottle under the cap with plastic wrap between uses.

It can be used after that, but you’ll have to dig past a hardened plug to get to the liquid with varying success. I’ve used it for bonding fabric strips over inside boot seams (After sewing), and for that, it worked quite well.

I’ve also used it for attaching sweat bands to hats, and I would not recommend it for this, as I discovered a problem with uses like this. When constantly exposed to heat and moisture, the compound breaks down into a sticky goo that does not re-harden.

The sweatbands of the hats came off after long use, and what remained was a sticky goo that was impossible to remove from the felt. Even with the bands on, they slide out of place, and the goo smears everywhere and gets on the head.

Bish’s Tear Mender is a rubber cement that will glue anything where it can penetrate the fibers. I’m rough on work clothes. I tear them up all the time. I use it to mend blue jeans, shirts, jackets, gloves and boots.

It dries clear and will stand up to repeated machine washing’s. HOWEVER, the area glued will turn black when exposed to the heat of a clothes dryer. Even at that though, the bond still holds. It is recommended that the area to be glued be clean and free of grease etc.

, and that’s probably good advise, but I have glued gloves that were very dirty, greasy, and wet, and the bond still held. The glue tends to bead on the surface, so watch for run off, but it’s easy to spread with your finger(s), and when you’re done the dried glue on your finger(s) just rubs right off.

And the bond is instant. The second you press two parts together the item is ready for use. A word of caution. Take care not to get it on anything important to you. It does not come out. And, if you want to be able to use the entire volume of the bottle, since you will likely only use a small amount at a time, twist the cap closed and store the bottle up side down.

That way the glue exposed to the drying effect of air is at the now inverted bottom of the bottle, and when you up right the bottlethe glue just below the cap is still liquid. Even after several uses and then many months of storage in this manner the glue is just like a fresh bottle.

I definitely wouldn’t recommend this for better clothes, but for rough and tumble work clothes that get worn and torn, I’ve not found anything better.

The fusion felt adhesive was very thick and difficult to use, I don’t think it will last more than one time. It feels as though the product was already drying up before I opened the package, I am hopeful at least that the adhesion will last though.

This glue works well. The only issue is that it is difficult to get out of the bottle. So I tip it upside down before starting my project so that I don’t have to wait or squeeze really hard each time I use it.

Fabric Fusion works! I’ve used it on felt and cloth swatches. Label says it won’t stand up to laundering.

I started building little models again since xe the beginning of covid. I found this glue on Amazon. ca and I haven’t gone back to any other crafting glue. It is awesome , it works on many different types of surfaces, dries clear and petty fast.

The plus side is that it is very affordable and very easy to find in almost any store!.

Do not bother with other tacky glues, they are not for you! You used this when you made crafts with your grandma for a reason. It’s the only tacky I’ve find that stays in place, because I’m mostly a hot glue girl for crafts.

I’ve used tacky glue for different projects. In my opinion work well with woods, fabric and small embellishments. Not messy and it mistakes are made you can easily unglued it and glue it back.

Do not order this item!! It looks like a case of 18 bottles, but I ordered it 3 times, each time with an enthusiastic customer service rep who assured me it would be fixed, but instead of receiving a case, they only send you one little bottle approx (0.

66 oz ) for $17. 99!!! Ridiculous !!! It caused me much wasted time and my project was late as a result. Then I go into Walmart and you can buy a 4 oz bottle for $1. 77!! That’sa way better deal, but I needed 24 really small bottles for this project.

Having to buy the bigger bottles increased the cost considerably.

This is a great size of the wonderful Aleene’s glue, perfect for working with younger children. There is less opportunity for the bottle to dry up. The box container did not survive shipping but I really didn’t care.

All bottles arrived intact.

Works SO much nicer for art projects for my residents. It doesn’t run as easily as Elmers white glue and it holds projects in place ! The come in great packaging

Used on outside watering system. Was not sure it would work as tried many products before. Great does the job.

I perfectly managed to repair my work overalls. Now they’re back in working order thank you.

A handy but sufficient size for little tears or larger ones. Glad I chose it.

I have use this flu since 2015 when I saw Mary on svgcuts. com using it for her projects. Now Leo uses it on his projects at 3Dsvg. com. It is perfect for adhering card stock plastic and small pieces of wood together.

I highly recommend this glue. The only downside is that you can’t purchase a refill, the largest size it comes in a a 4 oz bottle.

I agree wholeheartedly with the other crafters regarding the precision tip, it is not fine enough. One product I buy offers a metal fine tip which is put on the end of the bottle, This is important when doing fine work, so as not to waste glue but more to make sure it does not run all over.

I have not had the old style tip but it seems you have enough requests for making an extra fine tip. Not all crafters will write to you be we all talk to each other and Art Glitter glue is fast becoming the glue of choice.

Please hear our requests. The glue is great the tip is not.

Love, Love, Love this glue. Loved it more when it had a true precision tip, including the nice cap that enabled the user to keep the glue up-side-down for quick and easy use during a project. Now, I use a toothpick to provide the precise amount to my project :-(.

Been using Solomon’s Sobo for 50 years. Delta changed nothing; still can be washed out (not washable!), but have used it for wood when all 4 of my wood glues thickened beyond use. But the absolutely best use of Sobo is repairing split book pages; it never yellows (Solomon’s.

Won’t know about Delta for a while). Never throwing anything away, including boxes, Sobo is my choice for torn boxes; a thin bit to join where the box is torn, some Gaffer’s tape in the appropriate color and the box is good for a few more generations.

(Many of our books have been repaired with Sobo including many volumes of the 50 year old Golden Giants of Literature. The 100 year old Harvard Classics set has never needed repair! The Patrick O’Brian – Aubrey Maturin series, below the “5 Ft.

Shelf of Books” has needed the most repair; I just finished my 11th end to end reading of that 20 volume set. It’s a book club edition, so it’s not well made). Happy collecting.

I have used Sobo Glue for 10 years. I am retired and have time to indulge my painting and decorating of wood pieces. I only use Sobo Glue. It is not to thick or thin. It dries quickly but I still have time to fix a mistake or remove part of a piece.

It store perfectly. I have bought other glues and they do not compare.

The is absolutely no other glue of any kind that is better than this glue no matter what it costs, what it states it is used for, or how well known it is. I have been using this glue for years for everything including wood, ceramics, plastic.

Material, styrofoam, foam, paper, tile, metal, and more. It always works and does so using a small amount. It works quickly and permanently. It’s name does not do it justice since it is truly an all purpose.

All surface glue. It always amazes me and never disappoints. I have bought bottles of it so I never have to be without it and purchased bottles for my friends. It holds like Crazy Glue without the dangers of Crazy Glue.

It washes off easily and is great for kids. I have rarely found a product as completely useful, efficient, and perfect as this glue. Every household should have at least one bottle as should businesses, schools, and any place that has glue now.

You will not be sorry or disappointed.

This was pretty good glue. We used it for some kids crafts. I usually buy Aleene’s tacky glue, but couldn’t find it. This worked just as well, however, I will still use both brands. Aleene’s is good for crafts like kid’s wooden pieces that will be hung up.

But now I know I can use Elmer’s craft bond for just about anything and will stock up for our arts and crafts crafts cupboard for our very crafty family (with 3 full-time Junior crafters).

So when I paper craft I go through some serious glue. The best clue I have found is either the blue pen ( will not say names) or that other glue that’s has no taste ( again will not say names). But I thought I would try the Elmer’s CraftBond glue and then the variety pack as well.

Thought the thinner glue stick was awesome, I felt that the CraftBond GLUE in a bottle was not any stronger than Elmer’s Glue I used in school. Still order but had to reapply.

I created a card stock ornament as one of three Christmas projects for my two grand dudes classes. The embellishments to be glued on the ornaments are tiny pom poms, gem stones, tiny stars, buttons and confetti stars.

I first tested a few different brands of glue all thicker and thought the embellishments shouldn’t have a problem staying on. After the embellishments were dried I rubbed and wiggles the embellishments and unfortunately the glues did not work at all.

I can’t have the ornaments falling apart that wouldn’t be very nice. I did a search on Michael’s. com to see if I could find a heavy duty glue. I read the discription on the Elmer’s tacky glue and it looked like this glue should work better.

The price was less then the other leading brands too. I bought 5 bottles went home and did a test and to my surprise the pom poms and gem stones stayed glued. No more other brand tacky glues, I’m sticking to Elmer’s tacky glue.

I never knew Elmer had a tacky glue. Less expensive and with a couple even better!.

This sticks all types of fabric and light, will felt brilliantly. I found that it did not stick man-made felt without using legs to hold, and this left Mark’s on my work. As it is sold as a glue for felt, I’ve removed a star for this reason.

The spreader on the kid is fantastic and once dry, it is very strong – I used it to make tiny clothes for Easter figures.

This glue has made my life so much easier, especially with the tiny wee bits. glue dries and as stated you cannot see it.

Have been using this stuff for a while as it’s great quality and does the job (of sticking stuff together!!). Very good adhesive for mosaics, not tried with glass, but would expect the same results and brilliant to have around for kids crafts, papercraft, mixed media, cardmaking, etc.
