I've done this with Tombow's Multi Glue also and they do work beautifully for holding embellishments that are metal and heavier, and paper items as well. I need to make some more and I love how you store them. I hadn't thought of that, so keeping them in card container..baseball card plastic boxes, I mean, and stuck to the cheap sleeves for ATCs or baseball cards. Your way is much better. Thanks for sharing this :)

I love this product...been using it for years... I like that I can make any glue dots size...especially little tiny glue dost for tiny items Well done Lindsay

THANK-YOU HEAPS! And I love how you are so quick to the point and so concise-awesome tutorial ♥️♥️♥️

Thank you so much for this wonderful cost saving tutorial!

This is awesome!!! Can't wait to buy this stuff and start making my own dots...thanks for all you teach us!!!

Lindsey you amaze me with all of the wonderful ideas that you come up with to help us save money. Thank you.

Thank you for answering me!! So helpful & economical!! Appreciate you & your vast knowledge!!

Love, love, love your videos, your ideas, and your fun personality!!!

I have been buying foam glue tabs, but no more! This is perfect and allows me to create the size I want. Thank you for a quick and to-the-point video. :)

I've used the Tack It Over for years on my unmounted stamps. Now I'm looking forward to making my own glue dots. I love the fact that I can make them any size I need. Thanks so much Lindsay. :)

GREAT tip!!!!!! Leaves me more money for presents this Christmas. Thanks a bunch

Brilliant Lindsay! Thank you for sharing this wonderful idea. It would be great for Frugal Friday!

Well! What a great tip. Thank you Lindsay.

Thank you for sharing this with us.

Great tip! Thank you Lindsay.

I bought some of the "Tack-it" and it works well. I did have a small accident with a book and the dried glue dots, but no damage and great fun? trying to get the dots off and find something to re-stick them too since they wont go back on the non-stick paper.

My purse is thanking you for this #DIY #gluedots tutorial!!!

Awesome tip. Im going to try it. Its great for embellishments when you give to others. Tfs Shirlene

Thumbs up! Great tip, Lindsay and I have this bottle in my stash! ~Jeanne

I know that several crafters use the same glue for making their old circuit pads like new. There is a video on this as well but I never thought of this. What a great idea, less expensive too

Great idea! Thanks!

Great tip. I think I might have some Tac It Over somewhere around here that I bought after watching your video about your rubber stamps. For once, I will actually have the supplies on hand. Lol!

I still need to try the glue dots but I think I need a new bottle mine are really old. It still works good on stamps thou. Thank you for the reminder Lindsay!

great idea

I love Alene's glue and refuse to buy glue dots!!! They are not sticky enough for that price….but now I will never have to worry about the size. For some stupid reason I never went big. Well no more.. I am letting my size loose. Thanks Lindsay!!! :)

Good info... Thanks :)

I just happen to have some of that Tack it over and over glue :) TFS~ Pat

I just add enough water to make a thin consistency maybe 3 or 4 to one ratio then I take a sponge brush and brush it on wait a couple of hours till it dries to a tacky feel to it. I found it on you tube years ago try googling it "How to restick your Cricut Mats". It works wonderfully. Another product that works well is Ziz 2 to one in the large applicator bottle I found at Michaels. Because it is temporary bond if you let it dry after application. My daughter told me about the Zig.

I did a tutorial maybe 2 years ago on using Tack it Over and Over on fabric flowers as an alternative for a pin back. Honestly the flowers are hanging on my mirror to this day...doesn't matter that they are Halloween colors does it? In fact I think one has a felt bat.... hmmmmm maybe time to take those down. Anyhoooo, I never thought of making a faux Gluber with Tack It Over and Over- I just spread it on the back after I made the flowers- I guess I didn't use it at all on a rolled rose at all-great idea.

Do you have a tutorial on these flower you showed? Will these be permanent with paper?

Hi again Lindsay... This is a super fun tip ~~ thank you so much for sharing... You can also use a foam sponge brush ~~ and brush the Aleene's Tac it over and over glue on your cricut mat to make it sticky again ~~ only put some washi tape or painters tape all around the edges so that you don't get glue on them...the edges need to be clean to go thru the machine... Do you have any crafting ideas on what to do with the empty toy pods from vending machines... Thank you so much for all your fun ideas... Have a fun Turkey Day and holiday season... Surie

I still have some left, and they are still sticky. If you store them in a dust free environment, they should last a long time. Mine are in a cool basement, so things may differ in a hot dry climate.

Too cool, put it in Facebook and Pinterest.

Would setting out a large blob to dry, then cutting it as if I was cutting brownies in a pan, work for making small squares that functioned as dots? I have the Aileene's but thought I'd ask before I made a bunch of individual dots.

Doesn't Tack It Over become a repositionable glue when dry? As such I have to ask how well a dry glue dot would work as a permanent adhesive (and why it works).

Jean M not on paper to paper and it sticks my ribbon down very well. It is always sticky, like a sticker but once you stick it it stays stuck. You can paint it on the back of rubber stamps and then use them on acrylic mounts and the glue will stay on the stamp but other than that I would not call it re-positional, just sticky when dry until you bond it with something.

Do we have to use tack it glue I don't live in america so just wondering
