ACCO Brass Paper Fasteners, 1/2", Plated, 1 Box, 100 Fasteners/Box (71709)

This was a great value for my money they are very sturdy with me being a first time home school mom these little facets have come in very handy for a lot of the projects that I've had to use with my son. And big enough to where he can even manipulate them himself.

I had purchased a magic cards that that would lock with the brass inserts. I broke three of the inserts because it was a faulty insert. I purchased the other inserts, and they were just as well as the ones that came with the set.

Great for Arts, and Crafts.Old faithful

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

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.

So easy to use on my paper crafts .

Got these for my daughter's paper doll project.

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!
