Glue?

[Mishy1234]

Which kind should I use to glue felt to polystyrene? I'm making spider eyes to go onto DS's spider hat for halloween and am really up against it time wise!

Thanks for your advice in advance ladies (rushes off to fashion 8 hairy legs before 5).

You need a special cement/glue for polystyrene because regular glue will cause it to melt. To be honest, I don't know if this will work but I don't see why you could not use the solvent-based liquid glue on felt. [hhmm] Maybe contact Humbrol to see what they say.

Can you sew or wire the eyes in place?

Thanks MumsieNonna!

My initial idea was just to sew the felt around the ball IYSWIM, but then I thought it would be easier to glue the felt on and then sew the eye onto the hat.

Maybe it would be easier just to sew it all...will have to experiment.
