Slide Mailers

Blank slide mailers for holding 2 slides. They're meant for safely shipping microscope slides, but the little cut-outs make lovely archways or windows (or you can cut out the divider and have a larger window on the inside).

Both samples are by Design Team Member Sarah Whitmire. The sample with the sweet kitty cats uses metal foil tape to bind the edges of the glass slides. Click on the photo to see more details in the gallery.

The sample with the red curtains uses images from the Witchy Business and Skeleton Slide Mailers Collage Sheets; Halloween Treats Stickers; a Large Brass Snowflake Filigree and Crepe Paper.

1" Square Glass, Paper Punch and Frames

1" x 1" inchies-sized pre-cut glass and metal frames (and a 1" square paper punch). The glass is heavier (thicker) than microscope slides so is less likely to crack if you use these as charm bracelet links. The metal frames have a jump ring at 2 sides, so they can be used as pendants (with a loop at the bottom for a bauble) or linked together for a bracelet. The frames come in "antique copper" color (each package has 3 frames — in one color per package). The glass is only available clear (the second photo shows the discontinued frosted version) and comes in a sturdy plastic box with 24 pieces (enough for 12 pendants).

The paper punch is a good one: heavy and sharp. Hint: turn the punch upside-down when cutting so you can see through the punch hole to help with placement.

Note: the metal frames close with a tab that is similar to a brad (a heavy duty one), so they work best when only opened and closed once (you can also buy the glass without these metal frames and "bind" the edges with metal foil tapes, which would also give you more color options).

Skeleton Slides
Lots of sizes, from ATCs to inchies and slides. Quite a few black cats have wandered in, too. Click on the thumbnail at right to view a larger sample of one image (from an amazing calendar from 1900). Many of the small labels would fit the miniature glass bottles. More Halloween collage sheets.

Glass and "Memory" Frames: Multiple Sizes

Pre-cut glass and metal frames for 3 sizes of pendants (or ornaments): 1-1/2" x 1-1/2", 2" x 2" and 1" x 3" (standard microscope-slide size). The frames are in "antique copper" color (each package has 3 frames). The glass is clear and comes in a sturdy plastic box with 24 pieces (enough for 12 pendants).

Note: the metal frames close with a tab that is similar to a brad (a heavy duty one), so they work best when only opened and closed once (you can also buy the glass without these metal frames and "bind" the edges with metal foil tapes, which would also give you more color options).

The Square Santa Ornaments Collage Sheets have images sized to fit the 2" x 2" frames.

The "Seaside Slides" and "Skeleton Slides" Collage Sheets, above, have images sized to fit the 1" x 3" frames.
