Hi guys. Just making my first proper card (for Mothers Day). Whats the best glue for craft paper? Its the wafer thin stuff, like tissue paper and feel normal glue will just make it crinkly and show through. Whats the best glue to use with stuff like this. TIA.

I tend to use PVA in one of those fine tipped bottles for most projects but in the past I have used a spray mount type adhesive for very fine papers!!!

double sided tape is also good for thin paper too - do a test first to ensure it can't be seen

Thanks Dingle an Whizz. Have used the PVA and you can see a glue line so will definately try spray or double sided tape next time.

For very thin paper, such as mulberry paper, use a normal glue stick - like Pritt stick. I use PVA for all other card bits. HTH
