    For all of your crafty members of the hive, do you prefer using a Xyron, double stick tape or adhesive tape and why? I am debating about whether or not I should buy a Xyron...they seem like such handy time savers!

    It probably depends on the project!  I bought a Xyron for a DIY project and I haven't finished the project so far, but I love it!  It works great and is really fun...even my FI used it! :)

    the xyron is great! if you have a michael's or maybe even a hobby lobby around, their ads usually have a 40% off one item coupon which helps immensely!!!

    I'm not going to lie - I'm scared of the xyron. I'm scared of the gocco. I can handle double-sided tape. :) So that's what I used for my invites.

    I'm gonna go the other way on this.  double sided tape all the way!!!  the xyron refills get very expensive.  I buy all my double sided tape on ebay... very cheap!

    I admit...I am also a little frightened of the Gocco, and yet I want one so very very much! lol

    Glad for the input thus far. Any differences in how well it holds? I've always been a double-stick tape girl myself, but knowing I want to do a lot of DIY projects makes me believe the Xyron investment could be worth it, especially if it's a better hold. Thoughts?

    Thanks, ladies!
