Adding pop to your project


Pop dots can be a fun and easy way to add a little “pop” to your project, adding a three-dimensional look to any craft or scrapbook page. Outdoors and More’s Thanksgiving Turkey was made using pop dots, helping the turkey come to life off the page.

Both sides of the dots are self-sticking, so they are simple to use. Just peel off one side, stick to your craft, peel off the other side and stick it to your page. For our turkey, we stuck two dots between each layer of feathers. After both layers were attached, the finished turkey body sticks off the page about 1/4 and inch.

The first image is a photograph of the final product stuck on a scrapbook page, picture two is of some pop dots, and picture three is a side view of the finished turkey to show how high it rises off the page.

The owner of a local scrapbook store gave us another great secret to help utilize all the material that comes in a pop dot package. She said after she has used all the pop dots, she cuts up the excess material, and uses that just like little pop dots to make even more crafts pop off the page.

This technique can also be used in Outdoors and More’s Thanksgiving Turkey Kit available here for purchase.
