There was a thread about this recently, but before I could read it all, I lost it and cannot find it no matter how I search.

People were mentioning adhering elements together (back to back) before inserting them into pockets to keep them from wiggling around, but I thought someone else mentioned adhering something directly to the page protector, too.

My issue is the WRMK pages with the 12"x2" strip down the side (Which is really more like 14 x 1.75), but anyway, I have adhered the strips from both sides together, but they still keep creeping out of the pocket. I'm not sure how I can adhere them to the pocket itself without it being seen.

Any thoughts?

My friend uses the Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher and actually staples through the page protector with the patterned paper inside to keep it from shifting or creeping out.

Sorry, did not see the thread you mentioned but hope that helps. Good luck!

I've used mini glue dots, but really like the staple idea.

So do the mini glue dots not show up, or does it depend on the paper, or do you just tuck them in the corners and not mind if you can see them a bit?

They show a little but really aren't that noticeable. It's not perfect but better than having the paper slide out.

Hmmm, as in putting the washi on the outside of the protector, going from one divided area to another?

That could help keep 2 problem pockets closed at once.

Thanks. I don't have any of the very tiniest ones right now. I'll be forced to shop for some this week.

I've used washi tape. Easy on easy off.
I used washi because I didn't want to poke holes through the pp and something get caught on it.
