The product is packaged in a compact, resealable container measuring 5.94 x 4.25 x 0.75 inches, making it easy to store in a craft drawer or toolbox.

Usage

These adhesive dots excel in environments where speed and precision are essential. They are ideal for scrapbooking, card making, photo mounting, and school projects, allowing users to attach elements without waiting for glue to dry. Because the dots are acid‑free, they are safe for archival projects and will not yellow or degrade paper over time. In addition to paper crafts, the dots work well for light fabric applications such as attaching appliqués, embellishments, or fabric patches. Home repair tasks, like securing lightweight decorative items, sealing small gaps, or attaching labels, also benefit from the instant tackiness. The dots can be applied with a fingertip or a small applicator tool, and they stay in place immediately, eliminating the need for clamps or prolonged pressure. Their versatility makes them suitable for both adult crafters and children under supervision, providing a clean, non‑toxic adhesive solution.

Do the dots work on plastic surfaces?

They adhere well to many smooth plastics, such as acrylic or thin polymer sheets. For best results, ensure the surface is clean and free of dust or oils before applying the dot.

What is the best way to apply the dots for precise placement?
