Dots

Pipe dots for flower centers, faces, figure piping and border effects. When making large dots, lift the tip as you squeeze to allow icing to fill out completely.

Insert a coupler base in your Featherweight bag and lock round tip 3 onto it with your coupler ring.

Fill bag half full with medium consistency Buttercream Icing.
