My bullet journal fell apart after 6 months because I used the wrong glue.

I kept seeing people online say any glue stick works for adding pictures, but mine dried out and every page I decorated is now loose. What's a glue brand that actually holds up in a journal you carry every day?

Ugh, I feel that. My first bullet journal looked like a paper explosion because I used the same stuff. Switched to a basic Elmer's craft bond glue stick and it's been solid for over a year now.

Glue sticks are the real MVPs of journaling. My first attempt used some fancy spray adhesive and it was a total disaster. Still finding glitter in weird places.

Totally agree about the basic glue sticks. I've tried those fancy double sided tapes too and they always peel up after a few months. The cheap purple ones that dry clear are the only thing that holds my ticket stubs and photos down for good.
