I have a mini hot melt glue gun...but it takes the low temp sticks as well....just watch out you don't glue your fingers along with everything else...:)

Thanks! But which temp glue should I use on fabric and rafia -- Is the hot OK or do I use the low temp?

I'm making a complete guess here, but I would think the low temp. Wouldn't scorch the fabric. But then, would it let go if it were left in the sun, like a door hanger would be? I'd really like a good answer to this question, too. I was looking at glue guns last week, and confused myself. Not that it's hard to do... hee hee hee. Marji

Learned something new here. Did not know there was low temp glue, and I do have a glue gun! So flowers all round.
