JOANN HACKS:

• Use photos as a guide for Diamond Dotz colors & design plan.
• When applying the adhesive, do not go over the drawn line, or the adhesive may show.
• Start applying Diamond Dotz to the butterfly along all of the cut edges and work towards the center.
• When applying the Diamond dots to the circles, begin by placing them along the drawn lines, this will help make an even, round circle edge. Then off-set Dotz, working toward the center.
