How to adhere paper die cuts/letters to a round ornament?
I cut a five-letter name out on my Cricut. It's 2" high and 4" long. I've tried umpteen types of wet and dry adhesives, but cannot make the tops, bottoms and edges of the script lay flat on my round ornament. Arrggh. Any ideas that are budget-friendly?
What I've tried so far:
Rubber Cement
Memory Mount
spray adhesive
Xyron sticker machine (permanent)
Herma Dotto runner (permanent)
glue stick
Help!
Thank you for taking time to respond. I found two solutions: vinyl lettering and flat-faced ornaments. Thanks again to my fellow Yahooligans! Goodbye frustration!
Wow! Got an email from a fellow crafter who had a brilliant idea! She suggested putting the cut-out between slightly damp paper towels, form it around the ball, then letting it dry curved! Genius!
The answer is that it won't. Unless you have an ornament that is huge -- the surface area needed on a sphere to lay something that size flat won't fit on a regular Christmas tree. The only help is to make small cuts on the edges to help it lay flat. To make that kind of cut will require a razor blade's sharpness. I will also suggest that you cut out each letter individually so that each can be shaped around the ball's surface but it won't look the way you hope.
You are attempting to do the impossible and unless you re-cut this out of a stretchable material like vinyl - you will fail. This is not a problem of the wrong type of adhesive, but the wrong type of material used and a failure in engineering - understanding the properties of bending a flat object.
