What glue should I use to glue magnets to felt fabric? Hot glue does not securely work. Magnets are about 1 inch round and I need to glue onto stiff felt. I prefer to not use 2 part epoxy due to fumes. Thanks to all, Suzanna

Now that's an unusual project! Would love to see it when you are done.

Have you tried Super Glue? Or, lightly sanding the magnet before gluing? Or double sided tape, like carpet tape? Because of the fiberous nature of felt, you may not be able to get a really strong bond that lasts. I think there is a magnetic tape that is sticky on both sides. They may not make it any more, but I've used it to bond it to glass.

Beacon Fabric-Tac glue is a permanent fabric/multi surface glue...works great. Dries quickly, can be laundered, dry cleaned and put in the dryer...it is my go-to fabric and craft glue.

E6000, I use it for everything. Buy, poke hole in opening squirt a little out use tooth pick to get the amount you want, place on spot add magnet and let dry for awhile or over night. Good Luck!

Cool tip. Whatever type of glue you use, take a little Vaseline and rub it around the tip, the lid will never stick.
