Tombow Adhesive Glue for Crafts & Scrapbooking: Review



tombow


Not too long ago, I started scrapbooking for the first time. I have not had as much time to scrapbook as I would like since these past few months have been busy. I am excited because this summer will have more time do that. I have a growing stack of pictures that I want to transform into scrapbook pages. When I do scrapbook, I use just the basic glue. That does not work out for me very well, because I end up having several problems. For one, the items I glue to the main scrapbook page does not always stay stuck to the page. Another problem is if I glue a strip of paper down, the paper ends up being lumpy. The normal glue I use for scrapbooking just does not work for me.

I was able to try Tombow Adhesive Glue. This product has a variety of uses, but used mainly for arts/crafts and scrapbooking. Some material the glue can be used on include paper, photos, and poster board.  The adhesive bonds instantly, cleanly, and wrinkle-free. It is also acid-free and non-toxic. 


The adhesive glue will last me for a lot of uses. When I do run out of glue, Tombow sells refills. Replacing the refill is very easy, plus it is cheaper buying a refill as opposed to a brand new applicator.

The Tombow Adhesive Glue is so easy to use that kids can use it. To use the applicator, I just positioned it on the paper where I want to place my photo like in the picture above.  I push down on the applicator gently and move it along the paper. The glue goes on clear. I love that this creates absolutely no mess. The glue cleanly adheres to the paper. Wherever I move the applicator is where the glue sets. I put the fun embellishment down on the paper and it looked absolutely perfect. 

I could not believe just how easy the Tombow Glue was to use and the results I had. I know I said it before, but there really is no mess. The glue is very strong. When I set something on the glue, it is already snug, It is nice that I do not have to press down and wait for it to hold to the page. This tool is now going to be an essential when it comes to scrapbooking. 

How to buy: Online 



I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Wow! What a great idea! It reminds me of those correction tape things. Smart idea to make it glue. We just did a project with our wedding invitations that could have been way easier with this!

I could use that. It reminds me of the white-out tape dispensers I have. It is so much easier to run the tape out using this gluing method, than using my glue stick. Great idea!
