Very Useful!
They xyron 150 is an incredibly useful little item. Run small items through it and they come out with an even application of clear adhesive on their back. Some people misinterpret the word "sticker" to mean that the machine also laminates the front of the object - it doesn't.
How does it work? The cartridges hold two parts - a sticky side and a clear plastic side. As you pull an item through the machine the two sides are pressed together, sandwiching your embellishment. Tear the tape off once your item is out and then rub over the plastic to transfer the adhesive, then pull the two layers apart and you can peel up your new sticker :)
While it's great for small diecuts and other flat embellishments it really shines with ribbon. Run a length of ribbon through and it can easily be stuck down to any card or scrabook page. The refill cartridges couldn't be easier to change, you can even swap them out halfway through to switch from a permanant to repositionable adhesive without damaging them or making a mess.
