Mini Cotter Pins
Mini Cotter Pins are designed to hold pieces of machinery together, but they look like tiny bobby pins. Brass-colored metal pins would work in Steam Punk charms or just as a random bit for collage. 3/4". Packet of 25.

Gears!
Very cool solid brass gear replicas! Great for time themes or steampunk designs. Three styles: solid, with center spokes, or open centers. Three sizes of each. Large: 1". Medium: 3/4". Small: 5/8".
Price: $1.10 per set (unless otherwise noted)
|
Pronged Keyhole
Round brass Pronged Keyhole with prongs sticking out behind. [For the scan, we bent them out flat.] The disk has a small edge, so the keyhole will be raised up from the surface it is applied to. Use the prongs to hold it on, or cut them off to make it a charm, or to embed it in polymer clay. 5/8".

Coils O'Cool
Industrial Chic with our Coils O'Cool! A plethora of wire springs in various sizes and styles, all industrial quality. Contains extension, torsion, and compression springs, according to the package.
|
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.
|
Rusty Nails
Rusty Tin Nails for more altered art fun. They are 1/4" long and have 72 in a package.

Tabarelles
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. Attach them with a brad, paper fastener, grommet, piece of wire, etc. Or use glue for a more permanent attachment. About 3/4" tall with a raised center ridge.
We've labelled the larger picture thusly: black (B), gold (G), nickel (N), antique copper (C), antique pewter (AP), and brass oxide (BO). Metals don't scan too well, but they do look very nice.
Price: 25 for $1.00

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. They range from 1-1/8" to 3/4" tall.
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.

Two Fancy Hinges
Fancy hinges for your Altered Books, Shrines, boxes, or journals. Metals are hard to scan, but both styles come in shiny gold tone or shiny nickel. Opens 270º, or 3/4 of a full circle. In other words, a cover would open completely flat, and then go another 90º backwards. 2-5/8" x 5/8" or 1-3/4" x 5/8". Includes screws.
