Which glue will stick silk flowers to a woven straw hat?
I purchased and wasted money on (fabric glue, tacky glue and rhinestone gem glue) and any of the 3 attached the flowers to the hat, really these glues just made a mess and stained the flower and the hat. Which glue can I buy from the local craft shop that will stick silk flowers firmly to woven straw type hats. Thank you-
kay is right, I sewed, with needle and thread, the flowers to the hat. I just sewed through the flower, through the straw open places, around the straw, and back into the flower several times.
I have also used the sew the flower to ribbon and then sew the ribbon to the hat method.
I have hot glued ribbon to the hat, but it does not let you make the ribbon flush with the hat, you can see the hot glue.
I did consider lining the hat to cover up the stitches, but since it was for a doll, I did not.
Fabric is very hard to glue, either the glue soaks up into the material and changes its color, or it makes it stiff and hard. And still, it might not stick. I used Sobo on a Barbie dress hem, the material was organza, and it raveled. I intended to sew ribbon over the hem. the Sobo held the hem, and allowed me to sew the ribbon.
