Materials Needed

Here’s what you’ll need to use this handy trick to attach vellum without the adhesive showing through:

Silicone Craft Sheet
Multipurpose Glue
Sponge
Vellum

How To Adhere Vellum Invisibly – Step By Step

1. Put a small amount of glue onto the corner of the silicone craft sheet.

2. Swirl the sponge into the glue to give a thin coating of glue on the sponge.

3. Lay the vellum on the silicone craft sheet.

4. Dab the sponge all over the vellum, while holding the vellum in place with your other hand so it doesn’t shift.

5. Place vellum on your project and press down.

The Results

Below you can see the results of how the vellum looks over a few different types of paper. Over the light colored cardstock, light designer paper, and dark designer paper, you can’t see the glue at all. Over the dark cardstock you can see some tiny speckles where the glue was thicker on the sponge. Overall, I’m totally happy with this trick and I hope it helps you as well!
