Ribbon Fasteners

[lesliemommy]

Okay you know the cool little ribbon fasteners that come in our hardware kit? ( the ones with rings and the other side is flat with a hole for a brad)

Does anyone know where else we can buy these things?

[Christine Elliott]

Look at paperwishes.com
I just ordered some. Not sure if you can use a brad with it though. I will have to doublecheck.
Good luck

Are you talking about the D rings? I've looked lots of places and never found anything similar. Framing supplies sell silver ones but they are pretty rough looking. I'd be interested to know as well.

[lesliemommy]

yeah the D rings

I buy D rings at the hardware store. They're pretty cheap and look pretty decent!

I found mine at Joanne's
They had at the time pewter, silver and gold color's.

Wish my Joannes did.......they aren't a very good store in my town. Were they in with the scrapbook stuff or elsewhere?

I found them in the Cardstock Section, in ours where they sell Albums, Cardstock, DCWV paper stacks.

[stamps&cars]

Thanks, I'll look in that section..............I might have to go to the Joanns superstore about 30 minutes away to really find them.

This is my favorite piece in this hardware set! I too, was searching, searching, searching! Not at my JoAnn's...

But I DID find them at http://www.boxerscrapbooks.com/tiebacks.htm
They call them tie-backs. They are spendy, I think, at $1 for 2.

I am still looking for a better deal - especially at framing supply shops. They are normally used for picture hanging, but they only seem to have the triangle shaped ones, not the nice d-shaped ones.

Good luck! I'll watch this forum because I want to find a cheaper source!

[jeanstamping2]

The ones I found at Joanne's had 6 pieces each in them for just around $2.99

Have you been able to find about the same size as SU?

[Joan Ness]

Try www.paperwishes.com. They call them Metal Fasteners Item #AM726839
$3.49 for 24 of them. I am looking at a Fall 2006 catalog so the price may have changed since then.

[look-inkgood]

Yay! paperwishes.com is awesome! Much better deal than the ones I found.

[stamps&cars]

Okay.....went to Paperwishes and ended up spending $32!! I guess I say thanks? Those D rings are just perfect for me........Thank you guys so much. I scoured the Paper wishes catalog when it came to me hoping to see then and didn't so I didn't think they carried them. I'm doin a happy dance.

[nsruss]

They have a couple of different sizes and the smaller ones seem to be pretty much exact. They have them in the silver finish and brass.

CTMH also sells those in their catalogue.
That is where I bought mine.
They are called Photos hangers, and come in a set with 6 colours: gold, silver, pewter, copper, black and white (8 hangers/brads in each colour).
I used them here in this card today if you want to see them.
Gallery at Splitcoaststampers

HTH!

[stamps&cars]

8 of each....that's perfect for me.....I make 8 cards of every design.

I am a huge SU fan, but I really love the CTMH photo hangers. You get 48 photo hangers and the matching brads for about $15. They also have matching hinges(for coaster frames) and Bigger Brads. I like that they have six colors in a set.
