Choosing the right glue is one of the first questions every beginner asks. Different adhesives work better for different materials, and using the wrong one can lead to wrinkles, visible glue marks, or flowers falling off over time.
In this FAQ, I’ll answer the most common questions about using glue for pressed flower crafts. If you’re just getting started, this guide should help you choose the right adhesive with confidence.
1. Can I use white glue for pressed flowers?
Yes. White glue (PVA glue) is perfect for paper projects such as bookmarks, greeting cards, journals, and scrapbooks. Apply only a very thin layer to avoid wrinkles or moisture damage.
2. When should I use B7000 instead?
B7000 is a better choice for smooth surfaces like acrylic, glass, metal, resin, or plastic. It dries clear, creates a stronger bond, and works especially well for pressed flower magnets, keychains, and acrylic crafts.
3. How can I prevent glue from showing?
The secret is using less glue. Instead of squeezing glue directly from the tube, apply tiny dots with a toothpick or fine-tip applicator. Let the glue dry completely before moving your flowers.
4. Which glue is better for beginners?
If you’re making paper crafts, start with white glue because it’s inexpensive and easy to clean up. If you’re making acrylic or resin projects, B7000 is usually the easiest option for achieving a clean, professional finish.
5. Can the wrong glue damage pressed flowers?
Yes. Too much moisture can cause flowers to wrinkle, while too much adhesive can leave visible marks around delicate petals. Always test your glue on a spare flower first and use only the smallest amount needed.
