Attach any additional embellishments with All Purpose Dots. Use the clothespin to hang a photo.

I love using All Purpose Dots for attaching wood to wood. However, All Purpose Dots can be a little too large at times, so I used a mix of All Purpose Dots and Mini Dots to get just the right fit and hold. The best part is using Glue Dots means there’s no down time waiting for the glue to dry before I can display my project!
