When I try to use glue on felt, it seems to soak up the glue instead of adhering. What else can I try?

Try using Gorilla Glue. It can actually bond various fabric to whatever you want them to. Cost for one bottle of Gorilla Glue is around $4.95.

I use hot glue alot and it works very well with felt. Although, it's about 99% unchangable, so if you hot glue the felt to something, hopefully you had it right the first time because getting it off might be a task.... You can get a simple glue gun and the glue sticks at a craft store or a Wal-Mart, which they seem to be just about everywhere (hehe) Hope this helps!

Besides the hot glue already mentioned, try a glue that has less liquid content (thick "tacky" glues, i.e Aleene's Tacky Glue is common) so it isn't absorbed by the felt. Also you can go to the fabric/sewing supplies and buy iron-on tape which is used for folks who don't want to sew or have stitches showing. It's really easy, just follow instructions. You could also try as a last resort stick-on velcro or stitch it with a thin thread and the stitches will sort of sink and not show too much hopefully.

Don't use hot glue or regular glue they aren't made for felt, I use felt glue it works like a dream, it's really cheap, and a little goes a long way! I am sure you can get it lots of places but I bought mine at www.americanfeltandcraft.com.
