  Use brads to add motion to your page
Create motion on your page with brads and or jewels. For example, add jewels to imitate water sprinkling or brads to show a ball's movement across the page.

• Tip 11
  Take off the brad's prongs and use a glue dot to add to think chipboard or acrylic
Sometimes it's not possible add a brad to thick chipboard or acrylic, or on an area that will show on the opposite side. To use brads in these instances, I take the prongs off the brad (I use a wire cutter or just bend them back and forth until they break off) and add them the 'brad' to the page using a glue dot.
From Biker Chick Renee Foss.
