I'm making my first tags for a swap and I need to know what the best glue is to use to adhere patterned paper in large chunks to the tag. I really want these to turn out good. I have mini glue dots, zig chisel tip and fine tip pens, and photo squares, would any of these work or should I go buy a gluestick?
TIA Melissa
I use the Xyron for most of my gluing needs.

The photo squares would work. If you want something to completely cover the edges, then I would suggest a tombo tape runner or something like it.
Thanks for the help ladies, I forgot about tape runners, think I'll grab one of those. Might work up to a Xyron.
I would use the Zig. I covered a whole page for serendipity tags once using the Zig. It used up every bit of of glue in the pen but everything stuck great. Good luck and I'm sure they'll turn out fine.

Katrina didn't you find that the Zig pens dry too fast to do precise positioning? Could it be that I'm not using enough or that I'm just too slow(probably!)? LOL
I knew where I was going to put the torn piece before I applied the glue. Just glue and slap it down. I was using small pieces though.
