You can definitely use Mini Glue Dots to cover Chipboard!  For some other ideas, check out a previous blog post located at http://tanyascrapbooks.wordpress.com/2008/05/09/scrapbooking-tip-covering-chipboard-which-adhesive-do-i-use/

Mini Glue Dots are actually a great supply that come in handy for a variety of embellishments, as they are stronger than 2-way glue, snail adhesive, or tape:

Buttons – when attaching buttons to a page, Mini Glue Dots will ensure that they don’t fall off or twist around

Metals – metals are often hard to attach to pages and projects because they are so heavy and have a slick surface.  Mini Glue Dots will do the trick wonderfully!

PlasticsMini Glue Dots are perfect for embellishments made from any plastic, and with the wide range of sizes of Dot, you can find one that will be the best

Ribbon – when spanning ribbon across a 12×12 page, using the smaller size of Mini Glue Dots will adhere the ribbon to the page and avoid any pulling or stretching, which can occur when using a snail adhesive

Extra Tips:

  • Mini Glue Dots can be cut, if done very carefully with a knife or sharp pair of scissors
  • Once stuck down, it can be almost impossible to remove an embellishment after a Mini Glue Dot has been used.  Ensure you know where you want the item before sticking it down.
  • While very versatile, Mini Glue Dots will show through vellum or transparencies, so opt for another way to attach if that bothers you.
