GLUE
Aleene’s Turbo tacky glue pen - my absolute favorite! The pen applicator is perfect for small detail work. Make sure to order the TURBO glue pen! The glue in the regular tacky glue pen is too thin for paper flower making. The regular tacky glue in the large bottles is great though and you can refill the pens with it (Affiliate link) https://amzn.to/3pLsEHF
