LOVE these Dazzles! SOOOO Worth Learning to use!

Posted by Katie on 18th Apr 2019

For quite some time, I bought & used the regular type HOTP Dazzles, especially the Jewel Border strips & the Jewel Dazzles (different sizes of little round shiny dots!)
But I didn't understand how the double stick ones worked.
My first pack, I destroyed half of the pack, as I did not realize there is a thick protective plastic layer on top of the sheet of stickers LOL!!

You peel back that top layer, and then, CAREFULLY using a fingernail, tweezers, the end of a craft knife or even a pokey tool .....you lift off the image (or flower, swirl, word etc) .... that you want to use.
At this point it is best if you have planned ahead of time and know where you want to stick your image. The back side is also sticky once you take off that backing paper.

Then the fun begins! For me, I like to use pieces of thin deco foil, usually in rainbow colors. I will rub (burnish) the foil with COLOR SIDE UP !!!! Then, I slowly peel back the foil, and a beautiful colored picture (or words like Happy Birthday) is left on the project!

These dazzles can be carefully trimmed, or once coverd, they can be stacked like decoupage. You can use embossing powders on them, spray inks, chalk, glitter or nearly any medium to add color.

They are very slightly raised, so using one alone gives an image with dimension.

I LOVE them and so many people ask me how I acheived the finished image. TOTALLY worth checking out youtubes and such to find even more amazing ways to used these ultra-sticky, beautiful stickers!
