work as intended

Great for Arts, and Crafts.Old faithful

Got these for my daughter's paper doll project.

So easy to use on my paper crafts .

These do what they are supposed to do and hold up pretty well. My one note is that the listing photo showed a more pewter color and I received brass. I had these in mind for something where the color aesthetic sort of mattered, so while it wasn't life or death, it was mildly annoying. Now I just use them for other things such as making spinners for homemade board games or homeschool practice games.

Purchased for a child to use in making a craft for a high-school project. We searched around town at big-box, craft, and office-supply stores for something like this, and couldn't find anything anywhere. These will be used as "joints" in cardboard puppets made for a theatre class, and they were exactly what we needed. It would've been nice to find a silver-colored option, but the brass will work fine for our purposes.

I bought these specifically for making bows with my Cricut maker. Who knew you could make your own bows from wrapping paper or decorative paper? I found a Youtube tutorial by Jennifer Maker, and the process is actually pretty easy, utilizing brads, tape, and of course paper. I have been using my double-sided foil-type wrapping paper, which makes a beautiful, flashy bow. Now I can make a bow whenever I need it. I can wrap the package with one side of my paper, and make a coordinating bow using the other side as the main color. Jennifer's tutorial is easy to follow, and she provides the cut files free of charge. Check it out!

Shorter than expected, didn't read the description...my fault
