Let's say hello to the newest additions to the Glue Dots family...
Welcome XL and XXL Glue Dots® - Two new sticky companions in my scrapbooking and craft arsenal.
The XL Glue Dots® are 1" in diameter and come in a pack of 60, while the XXL Glue Dots® are 2" in diameter and have 24 adhesives in a pack. Just like other Glue Dots®, the XL and XXL are acid-free, lignin-free and non-toxic.
As a Glue Dots Dottess, I had a chance to play with both adhesives before they were introduced at the Craft & Hobby Association's Winter Trade Show. Have a look:

| Orange & Teal Party: Introducing XL & XXL Glue Dots® |
Up first, an orange and teal party snack holder created with french fries in mind. Read on to find out why...

| Orange & Teal Party Snack Holder Tutorial |
Supplies:
Glue Dots® (Mini, Glue Lines, XL)
small french fry holder
teal decorative cardstock
orange, white plain cardstock
orange rafia
cupcake punch (EK Success)
circle punches (Creative Memories Circle Maker)
scoring tool
1. Open the french fry holder and lay flat on the teal cardstock to act as a template. Trace the template onto the cardstock and cut out.
2. Score creases into the cardstock to match the creases of the french fry holder. Fold along the creases.
3. Secure the flaps down with Glue Dots Glue Lines®.
4. Place an XL Glue Dot® on the front of the snack holder and wrap orange rafia around it.
5. Punch out a large white circle and attach to the XL Glue Dot® on the snack holder. Make a small orange circle and attach to the white circle using another XL Glue Dot®.
6. Create a teal cupcake using the cupcake punch and adhere to the orange circle using Mini Glue Dots®.
Repeat for each snack holder you wish to create.
Next, I'm sharing an orange and teal party treat bag to match the above snack holder:

Supplies:
Glue Dots® (Mini, XL, XXL)
brown paper lunch bags
black marker (Sharpie)
teal decorative cardstock
orange, white plain cardstock
cupcake punch (EK Success)
circle punches
scissors
1. Decorate the brown paper bag with a black marker.
2. Punch out an orange cupcake and a small teal circle. Attach the cupcake to the teal circle using Mini Glue Dots®.
3. Punch out a large white circle and use scissors to fringe the edges. Use an XL Glue Dot® to attach the teal circle to the white fringed circle.
4. Create another large white circle and use another XL Glue Dot® to attach it to the back of the white fringed circle.
5. Attach the circle embellishment to an XXL Glue Dot®.
6. Fill the bag with goodies and fold to close. Attach the circle embellishment with the XXL Glue Dot® to the bag to secure it closed.
Repeat for each treat bag you wish to create.
And that's just a tiny sampling of what you can do with the XL and XXL Glue Dots®. I'm looking forward to spending more time with these two and see what else we can make together! (Sorry for the mild dorkiness...feeling a bit cheesy as I write this and excited to share with you!)
