Shadow box question

I am thinking about making a shadow box to commemorate our wedding and I was wondering if anyone can tell me what adhesive I should use to secure the items (invite, save the date, wine label, etc.) I've never done one before. TIA!

Re: Shadow box question

any acid free adhesive..like a tape runner or glue dots. You can get both of these in the scrapbooking section of AC Moore or Michaels. Dont get the repositionable type, make sure its the permenant one. It holds better.

It depends on the shadow box you get. My shadow box has a fabric back with padding. I used pins to secure the items in the box.

I used hot glue gun for something I made in the past - don't use this on photos, but on a dried flower or garter, this might hold better than glue stick.
