Supplies: Paper & Metal Tag (Best Creation Inc.), Glitter Cut (Little Yellow Bicycle), Crystals (Prima), Tulle (JoAnn Fabrics), Punch (Martha Stewart)
Have I mentioned lately how much I love border punches?
And of course I had to add some glitter cardstock to the project. I just can't get enough of this stuff.
There's only one thing about this project that is irritating me. My haunted house won't stick. It keeps letting go and pulling the crystals off with it. I seriously have tried everything I can think of. I tried two different adhesive runners and neither of them worked. After that, I tried using photo mounting squares on the bottom corners where it wouldn't be seen. Still not working. Last night, I tried my Stix 2 double sided tape and it isn't working either. I am at a complete and total loss. I've never had a project get the better of me on the adhesive side. So what next? Any suggestions? Keep in mind the can is clear so I'm trying to preserve the integrity of the piece.
I'll leave you with that for today and will be forever grateful to anyone who can solve my troublesome haunted house issue.

The Stix2 double sided tape is my go to if nothing else works...
Is there somewhere on the castle that you can 'embellish' with a brad or a couple of stitches? A paper piercer should get through that can no problem.
Without having it in my hand, I'm assuming part of the problem is that the castle wants to stay straight instead of curving, and that's part of the problem? If that's the case, I would try heating it with a heat gun, to get it to curve a bit, which would make it less likely to pop off the can. Just a thought at any rate...
The problem is indeed the castle wanting to stay straight. Skipping the adhesive all together and using brads/stitches is definitely the way to go. THANKS, JJ!! :)
This is fabulous! And JJ... the brads will definately do the trick! Good thinking!
oh...........i love love love this chickie! just scrumptious!
turned out very beautiful Tracey! Don't know what to suggest for the castle, the brads sound like a good idea......I always resort to a hot clue gun....but that may only add to your problems. (lol.....hahaha) Did you try fabrictac? What about old faithful......crazy glue?
