Glues for Fabric to Wood Buying Guide
Glues come in all shapes and forms. Tubes with a nozzle or an applicator are probably going to work best for direct, precise application. Spray glues are effective for large surface areas that need to be covered. Some glues can be applied with a brush. Some glues are non-toxic and will not have an odor while others, like some spray glues, should be sprayed only in a well ventilated area.

Many glues that are effective for fabric to wood adhesion will adhere with a permanent hold. These glues are tough and durable and will really stand up over time. Some glues bond with an industrial strength bond and can be used outside the craft room for some surprising applications. Some glues are waterproof and are even strong enough to be used outdoors.
Revive and Reuse
Glues that can be used on fabrics and wood can generally also be used on a variety of other surfaces. There are so many upcycle and DIY creative tutorials and websites now, as upcycling and recycling are becoming ever more popular. These glues can be used to help revive furniture around the house. They can be used for upcycling craft projects, and even for automotive or industrial style uses.
