I was hoping to find the tutorial where I learned the trick, but I just can't find it. :( What I do is snip the paper after I punch a strip out. I snip it just a little from the bottom up where the small curve is and snip the paper from the bottom all the way through where the big curve is. Does that make any sense? If not I can make a quick tutorial sometime tomorrow. I put my adhesive on the backside of the circle I'm putting it on an bend it as I put it around the curve. Because of the snips it bends.
