Once you are happy with the placement, use Mini Glue Dots on the end of the red paper spiral and close the card to adhere the paper in place. Do so again for the other end of the spiral.

On the front of the card, attached the leaves and stem with Mini Glue Dots.

For small pieces of paper, press the paper onto the Mini Glue Dot instead of trying to roll a Glue Dot onto the paper.

If Mini Glue Dots are too large for the piece of paper you are gluing use Glue Dots Micro Dots instead.
