When I remember I add bits and pieces to my journal (I go through stages and then forget to collect stuff). I mostly use double-sided tape from the paint department at my local hardware store but I have a bottle of clear Elmers glue too, since I’ve seen that recommended quite a bit.

I used the glue to add some business cards from a local restaurant, only they were gloss cards and the glue gave out completely within a week, leaving a nice glossy expanse of nothing.

What do you use to add things to your journal? Any brand you swear by, or would avoid like the plague?

    Do they add much bulk to the pages? I tend to stick my photos in the same spot on every page and if the dots add a bump, I start getting frustrated by the lack of a flat surface.

      I’d guess it depends on the thickness of what you are pasting. They’re thin and I’ve only put down postcard like items. There is a double sided sticky tape out there too that’s thinner. The dots are easier to manage. The tape a little messier. They both come in a self applying dispenser. I got mine off of Amazon. The tape is not temporary. You’ll need to be precise your first time applying it.

        Not temporary is good though, surely? I like the idea of a dispenser, that sounds a lot less messy than a liquid glue.
