Finishing touches require reliable adhesives and specialized papers. For general bonding, find bulk clear glue sticks that are acid-free, and high-wattage hot glue guns designed for quick, secure bonding on materials like fabric, wood, and plastic. Pair these strong adhesives with our assorted paper options, including craft paper sheets for backgrounds and double-sided origami paper variety packs to ensure you always have the right medium on hand. Decorative washi tape is also available in various patterns for embellishing journals and scrapbooks, making organization stylish.
