Sticky Roll Precision can also be applied to glass and remains removable on this surface, making it ideal for hanging lightweight handmade decorations in your windows. Just like Sticky Roll, this roll measures 210mm /A4 x 10m (approximately) which is the equivalent of 33.333 A4 sheets, so there’s plenty to craft with. It has an RRP £16.99. www.wildspiderdesigns.com 73 PAPERCRAFT
