If you go to my blogpost:
http://pioneerwomanatheart.blogspot.com/2013/09/bottle-cap-jewelry-military-mom.html

you can see a photo of the necklaces I am making. However, I need suggestions for the glue that I use to adhere the felt to the bottle cap. I have not tried tacky glue, but after conversing with the kids, we are pretty sure tacky glue leaves marks on the felt after drying.

I used E6000 glue, because it is what I had on hand. However, it leaves an odor. It makes this very unpleasant to wear.

Do you have any suggestions for a glue that will secure the felt for a long time, but not cause the felt to discolor, and is odorless?

Oh, I am looking for a glue that I can purchase in stores such as Wal-mart, Meijer, Hobby Lobby or JoAnn Fabrics. I do not want to buy any glue on-line.

Thanks! I hope to have a tutorial for making these, on my S.C.R.A.P. blogspot soon too.

Super cute, Kristina! I would try glue dots... they should give you a firm hold without any mess... And they're not that expensive. Good luck! Hugs - Nini

Thanks Nini, I need a new drill bit before I can finish the rest. I am embroidering pink ribbon ones too.

I did a "felt" test yesterday, and will post it on my blog soon. I tested 4 different glues on felt.
