Glue Dots

Described as fairly tiny circles of sticky dots meant to stick photos or paper embellishments.

Its suppose to do away with the tedious and messy work of having to glue harder to reach pieces or fragile material together (like lace and vellum(??))

Just that ... the glue dots i got locally are just a little too dainty and 'frail' to unglue off the wax paper they originally come in. I either end up stretching them from circles to strips of unsightly sticky bits (usually rendering them unusuable) or they stick anyway and everywhere (esp. the fingers) except the spots you want them to stick on!

So. What do you do? Use tweezers? I tried, they ended up sticking to tweezers? Or maybe you're simply not suppose to unglue the dots from the waxy paper? One dots and strips off the waxy bits just like how one sticks double sided tape ...

At the rate am going am probably going to ruin my entire limited supply of dots without even ever using them properly!

Does anyone knows how to use glue dots?
