Another Use for Foam Dots

When I make cards, I frequently use foam dots to pop up an element on the card.  Here's one of many sheets of dots that live in my adhesives basket.  

Years ago, I used to throw out the sheet when I used up all the dots.  Then I realized I should save the unused parts to cut apart to make pop-up strips for larger items.  Now I've discovered another purpose for used-up sheets of foam dots.

They make a perfect template for cute little rows of Stickles!  Here's a card I made using that technique.  Check out the perfectly even dots of Stickles on the background cardstock.

I hope some of you try this out.  I'd love to see what you make!

  3. Great idea. And if you don't have that kind of pop dots, you could always cut a template with your Cricut or go old school and use a hand held paper punch.
