Glueing Foil Paper for My Kusudama Ball!

Post by Rlsmz321 »

I have tried several types of glues and nothing is sticking to the foil origami paper I have. I've folded my 60 sheets for my kusudama ball and now I am struggling to put it together because the paper won't stick to itself. Any tips? I have tried some dry adhesives and they do work, but I really do prefer liquids. Help!

I would rather fail trying than fail without trying....

I've tried Aleene's Quick Dry and Aleene's Fast Grab. Also, I've tried a very strong Elmer's glue stick. The Aleene's Fast Grap is my go-to glue for all my paper crafting needs. I was pretty surprised at its complete inability to adhere the foil paper. I thought of using E6000, which is what I use to glue metal when making jewelry...
