CRAFTING 101 ADHESIVES

Great review / reminder of all you can do with the different types of adhesives. I may need to give that 2 in 1 glue pen a try!

Crafting 101

I did not know about all your adhesives so this was a good video to teach me about them.

Great Overview of Altenew's Adhesive Choices

This course gives helpful information about the different adhesive choices Altenew offers. I especially enjoyed the ideas for using double-sided tape with foil or glitter. I chose this free course when I saw the project uses the Vintage Tapestry kit since I have that kit, and I'm looking forward to creating a similar card to the one in the video.

Great for Beginners

This class is great for beginners who may not know about the various types of craft adhesives.

Some helpful info

Was good to inform about what adhesives Altenew carries and general uses. Would have liked more details about pros of Altenew products over other brands/types of adhesives
