Got chipboard letters? I bet the answer is yes. If you are like me, the answer is HECK YES! I don't know if it is the fact that I am a first grade teacher, but I LOVE letters. My stash of letters could last me through the apocalypse. Seriously. :)
I have always used chipboard letters on layouts, dating all the way back to the summer of '69...just kidding, I wasn't born until 1972. :) But I think you get my point. Before I discovered HELMAR, it would drive me crazy to look at old layouts that were displayed in albums...because inevitably I would find random chipboard letters laying in the bottom of my page protectors. MAN ALIVE!! It drove me nuts! (and by the way, "man alive"...what exactly is THAT all about?! cracks me up!)
So now you ask, "How ever did you get those chipboard letters to stick?!?" Well, I will show you my secret. It is this bit of magic right here:
And yes, I do consistently use both. It is a quirk, I know. However I just can't decide which one I like better.
You want more proof?! Ok then.
So if you are looking for a little something to make those letters stick, check out HELMAR'S 450 QUICK DRY ADHESIVE and/or HELMAR'S ACID FREE GLUE.
Have a super Saturday! :) Jen Erickson

Man alive---what an awesome way to assure that those letters stay. I have been there with finding layouts with letters fallen off! No more! I love your pages!

Hi Jen. Love your idea to add the glue to the letters. I too have had many sad moments when I've found letters at the bottom of the sheet protector. Or worse, someone's looking at the page and they think I can't spell, or I'm sloppy with my work. Ditto on that True Blood thingy. I'm on team Eric. Thanks for sharing.
