Hi! I’m Brian from Close To My Heart. Today I'd like to show
you how to use Hook & Loop dots to put a finishing touch on
your three-dimensional artwork. Hook & Loop dots are great
for creating a temporary closure on Cricut®-cut projects, hidden
messages on cards or scrapbook pages, and anything else that
you’d like to close and then reopen. Let’s look at some examples of
some beautiful artwork that uses the Hook & Loop dots. Take a look
at this purse. This is an example of one of the 3-D projects that
you can create using the Cricut® Artiste cartridge. When you cut
it, you have this fun little closure here which you can glue down
or if you want to be able to reopen it, you can attach it using the
Hook and Loop Dots. Simply place one side on the inside of your
closure and the other side of the dot on the front of your purse
and it’s as easy as that. For another creative use of the Hook
and Loop dots take a look at this scrapbook page, which incorporates
a fun mini album that’s closed with the Hook and Loop fastener.
Now let me tell you a little bit about this album. If you’ve got
kids like I do, you probably have a stack of artwork like this
at home, which takes up a lot of space and you’d love to be able
to incorporate these beautiful artwork pieces into your child's
scrapbook pages but they’re just too big. Here’s one way that
you can get around that. Create scans of the artwork and then print
them out on smaller sizes of photo paper. And then you can
use these smaller sizes to create a fun little mini album…
that you can then attach to your scrapbook page.
If you’d like the mini album to be able to stay closed it’s as simple
adding these Hook and Loop Dots. Simply take the fuzzy side of the
Hook and Loop dot and attach it to one side of your album and then
grab the opposite end and attach it to the inside of the page where
it will catch. And just like that, you’ve got an easy, reclose-able
album that you can attach to your scrapbook page to preserve that
precious artwork. Hook & Loop dots make it easy to close a papercrafted
purse or hide memorabilia inside your favorite scrapbook pages.
And you can get a pack of 25 for just $3.95. If you’d like to make
