I am making a wedding album for my nephew who is getting married next month. I bought a kit from Simple Stories that came with 4x6 transparencies. I would love to make these into pockets for pictures and memorabilia. What is the best adhesive to use that will actually stick to the transparency? I'm planning to do a card stock "frame" around the clear pockets. Any one have any suggestions?
Thanks!

If you have a sewing machine I would suggest using that...sewn pockets work wonderfully. If not...maybe glossy accents?

i agree that sewing would be the best way to create a pocket out of a transparency. If the transparency has a solid border around the edges, adhesive would work. When I use vellum or transparency, the adhesive is applied to areas where I can hide the glue. Maybe you could apply tiny strips of cardstock along the edges to hide the glue.to create a pocket.

I've never sewn anything, but, I would do that, or, if there will not be any loose items in it, I sometimes use staples.

Thanks for the advice. Sewing machines and I don't get along..at all. I was planing to use cardstock to make a frame around the pocket so I won't any adhesive that will be used. I just don't know what glue would work best that will actually stick to a smooth material like a transparency.

I've had good results with Glossy Accents/Diamond Glaze. You could also try Glue Dots. They come in strips too.

I like to use tiny brads. Just space them so nothing slides out the sides or bottom.
