Default How do you attach your huge Prima Flowers with no center hole?

OK So I have been hording some gorgeous Primas that are rather large and also do NOT have a central hole for attaching with a brad or eyelet. They have stuff in the middle like a real flower would.

I think part of the reason I'm hording them is because I have NO idea how I should attach them. :rolleyes:

So can you help me? How in the world do you attach these things to something?

How about with a glue dot in the center of the back of the flower - that way it would be adhered but would "pop" in the same way as if you had secured with a brad?

I use a glue dot on back, then when it's stuck down, use another glue dot in the centre, and sprinkle glitter or bedazzles in there !!!

I sometimes use big brads to attach them from the middle. Or, like what has been said, use a glue dot in the bottom, and just play with your imagination on what you'd like to use for the center: stickers (I love using the epoxy and 3d ones), beads, buttons, baubles, smaller flowers, sequins, etc

Snot Dots. Definitely. ~ kbc

p.s.: My LSBS nicknamed them "snot dots." Roll one and you'll see... :mrgreen:

Glue Dots or Mono Multi. Or just punch a small hole in the center and put a brad through it!
