Dew Drops...do you absolutely LOVE them?
Trying to decide how much I'd use these, and wondering which color sets I'd want first. Your thoughts?

:lol: well I got some equivalents at Michaels on sale and haven't opened the package yet. Mainly because they need to be on cards I give to someone rather than post to them.
Also I think there was a thread were you can colour the bottom of clear ones with a permanent marker to get a color that matches...

I use a tiny dot of Mono Multi liquid adhesive, but I think other glues that dry clear would work as well.

I use tiny glue dots to adhere them. I have a few bottles and actually find myself rarely using them. I think it's a personal preference.

I use my dew drops, I bought a couple of the multi-colored bottles in colors I use often.
And I just use the Tombo Multi...it holds really well...I tried to pull one off to make sure and it ripped the paper first.

I have the whole set of them and I am ashamed to say, I never use them. I have tried, really I have, they just don't do it for me or something.

where do you find them? I haven't seen them locally and I don't know who has them on the web - love the effect tho' seen some really pretty cards made with them. I found some "fake" ones, but they seem too thick so I haven't used them yet.

I would suggest that you go with the clear ones and if you find yourself grabbing them again and again you can purchase more colors.

if you get clear ones you can also make your own colors. use alcohol reinkers and some sealer spray ...

I have seen them used so often and I just love them. For a while, I have to admit, I had no idea what they were but I noticed them all over the place. I was wondering if I had been asleep for a really long time and SU had come out with some new item that I hadn't heard about yet! LOL
I don't have any yet either, mostly because, like some of you, I can't decide which colors to get. I have a good friend who uses mini glue dots and feels that is her favorite way to stick them.
They are so sweet, though, I can't wait to get my hands on some! I wish they were self-sticky, guess I'll have to stock up on glue dots, too.
I hear online is a nice easy way to get your hands on some, especially if you are like me and live in the middle of nowhere.

Oops, I meant to add: I believe online one could Google "Robin's Nest Dew Drops" and find them. I am not certain of the spelling, but I know that is the manufacturer name.
Hope to see lots more Dew-Droppy projects in the galleries soon!

I also use the green and white bottle of Mono Multi to adhere these. Just a tiny drop does the trick.

This is what I use as well... sometimes for a fun effect I use diamond stickles to glue them on too!
I adore these and actually find myself trying to use them more and more!
