Mod Tabarelles
Special Purchase Tabarelles in Mod Colors for Spring! We found a closeout special on Tabarelles of a slightly different shape - thin and flat with a pointy end - and they came in great Summery colors of Lime Green and Fuchsia.
You might know them as Photo Turns or Photo Anchors, but why limit them to photos? The idea is they hold something down in a temporary manner. Attach them with a brad, paper fastener, grommet, piece of wire, etc. Or use glue for a more permanent attachment. 5/8" tall.
Price: 25 for $1.00

Swivel Clasps

Copper Nails
Solid copper nails or tacks, not iron nails covered with copper like most versions. These are the real nails used for centuries to attach the canvas to the frame in the great master works seen in museums throughout the world. But we see them used in many multimedia projects like assemblages and even jewelry. 7/16" long.
|
2-Holed Bar
A small 1" tab of brass with 2 holes. The unique thing about these 2-Holed Bars is that they are not completely flat. The middle is flat, but the ends slope down just a bit, leaving enough room for a thin ribbon to slip beneath the bar. Pack of 3.

Cool metal tabs for your projects! We've seen them called Photo Turns or Photo Anchors, but why limit them to photos? The idea is they hold something down in a temporary manner.

Book Corners
Metal corners for your bookcovers. These brass corners are meant to slip over the corners of a hardback bookcover, to protect and beautify it. We think it gives a very nice finished look to an altered book or a journal. Numbers 1 - 3 will fit most books. Number 4 needs to be a thinner cover.
Click the image for a page with closeup pictures of the corners, the backs, and how to use them.
|
Ribbon Buckles
Brass slide buckles made to slip on ribbons. Unlike a buckle on a watch band, there is no prong that goes through a hole, just a bar across the middle (which is behind the ribbon in the picture.) A nice finishing touch to an altered book cover or a greeting card. Use one as a closure by sewing the ribbon end around the middle bar.
They are numbered according to the larger photo (click the small one), Left to Right, 1 through 6. The largest ribbon width that would work with each buckle is given below.
NEW: Fancy Rectangular Buckle, number 7.

Ball Chain
Ball Chain, which is also known as Shot Chain, Bead Chain, or That Key Chain Stuff, is available by the foot. This is steel, plated with either nickel or gilt (gold color), size #2.4 (2.4mm). Very handy for making your own necklaces or key chains, but we're sure you will find uses for it in your altered books, shrines, etc.
Add-ons Bells go on the end of a chain, like on a ceiling fan pull chain. Or use them to keep beads from slipping off the end. Drop Loops pop over the last ball on the chain and let you either hang the Ball Chain from something or hang something from the Ball Chain. Connectors make a loop out of a length of chain, slipping over the last ball on each end. All available in nickel or gilt.
Wire Cutters for cutting the Ball Chain are available here.
