New pattern attachment method and web-exclusive ornaments
When I spray adhesive on the back of the patterns and cut long delicate pieces, the pattern has a tendency to pull loose. I have to use a toothpick to hold the pattern down so I can follow the lines, which is a hassle. I recently discovered the Xyron 9″ Creative Station, which is a cold laminating machine.
To use the laminating machine, load a 40-foot roll of repositionable adhesive into the machine and run the 8½” x 11″ printed paper pattern through the machine. After the pattern comes out the other side, peel off the paper backing and affix it to the wood. The pattern doesn’t come loose while cutting and is easy to peel off the ornament when you are finished.
