Sometimes I do lunchtime cardmaking sessions at work. It is a fun get together and I just share my supplies. I use Scoretape for my cardmaking, but it seems that that adhesive is a little difficult for non-crafters to use. Tape runners are too expensive for me to provide (and I find the cheaper ones don't stick well). Glue pens for small embellishments and die cuts are also expensive and I don't want to get half a dozen of them and then have them dry up before I use them up.
Do you have any adhesive suggestions for me? I don't want to charge anything (and I can't anyway because I am sure it would violate company policy).

Is there any reason you can't ask the people joining you to bring their own glue and tape?
But if you really do want to continue to provide for them, the double sided tape from Dollar Tree works well and is only a buck a roll.
And right now at Walmart, Elmer's school glue sticks are a 2 pack for 50 cents. So, a quarter per gluestick.

I bought a 6 pack of Elmer's Clear Repositionable Glue sticks at Target. They were relatively inexpensive at $4.49 for 6. ElmersIt seems to work well, plus it's repositionable for 5-10 minutes which is nice for beginners uncertain about placements of elements. |

I don't buy the cheap brand. I think most companies know what their product is worth ... on all levels.

Aleenes tacky glue and buy some of the empty small dispenser bottle at michaels or hobby lobby, 6-8 for about 2 bucks. Thin the aleenes with alittle water and it is just as good as scrappy glue and cheaper, still acid free and dries extremely quick. Clip the openings very tiny for great control and it work for even the tiniest pieces!

I still have a big stash from last year and the year before. |

Thanks for all the ideas. I was thinking about going with glue sticks because they seemed easier to use than the Scoretape. Who knew that using double-sided tape would be so difficult.  I like the Avery glue sticks, which are priced in the middle of the road. |
