What's the best way to attach small sequins and beads to cards or scrapbooks?

Hi

Just starting out with cardmaking and have got some embellishment kits. These include some very delicate items like tiny white beads with holes in and various sequins.

Do I attach these to cards with double-sided tape, foam pads, pritt stick, pva or something else? Any tips on this would be appreciated.

Many thanks for your time.

Attach them with glue but to make it easier, use a paintbrush. Simply dip the fine paintbrush (only a little) into the glue and dab it onto whatever area you like. Then to attach them use tweezers (clean ones).
This leaves you with a clean and polished card or scrapbook page!!! :)

    you can use a glue gun or try some thread and sew them on better chance that they stay on with glue they can still fall off plus if you thread them on they stand out more and move about which looks better

    I have liquid Scotch brand scrapbookers glue. It has a tiny tip. but I would put it on a scrap piece of paper and use a toothpick to apply
