Ok I have everything ready and wanted to start putting my pocketfolds together... one problem I bought double sided tape - they come apart - I bought glue dots - they come apart.
What the heck did you girls use to keep them together I simply can't get the pocket to stay up.
I used black Linen card stock.

Re: DIY Pocketfolds - How do you...
So you made the pockets yourself? Double sided tape should have worked. What brand are you using? I used SCOTCH brand and it held mine together, they have been sitting there for months

I used glue dots extra strength and mine held up. Is it because the crease isn't really tight so it's popping up?

Yep I made the Pocketfolds myself I have a good sharp crease, I scored them myself. I did get just regular glue dots bbut i'll try extra strength I am wondering if it is because i only have 1/8' for my seams on the pocket.

Do you know if scotch comes in a 1/8' or did you have to trim it down?

They also have the glue strips (same as glue dots) maybe try those as well

If you used double sided tape, make sure it's the permanent one. I made a mistake and bought the removable tape once. I actually used glue to make my pocketfold. Aleene's Tacky glue works great. It can get messy so I bought a syringe for the glue. It makes perfect strips without excess glue.

Wow glue dots were the only thing that worked for me. They were perm dots too.
Double sided tape did nothing for me. The only thing that is messy but works well is rubber cerement but you have to be patient to use it since it takes a bit to dry.
