Paper Punches
More punches are on the Pendants page and some huge (2-1/8" diameter) round punches are on the Christmas Tags page.
Click on most photos to see a larger picture.
2-Part Rivets
50 sets per bottle. The same size as the rivets in the Hang-it-All sets. If you don't want to smash that rounded rivet cap, use a rivet setter (with a hammer and a bench block) to set the rivets.
Choice of Antique Brass or Black Metal finish.
$3.49

Quantity:
Craft Tray with Funnels Such a simple thing (adding funnels with screw caps to a tray) but it really helps with getting glitter back into the bottle (and off your desk).
$3.49 each
Envelope or Liner Template
Create your own envelopes with this A2 envelope template (5-3/4" x 4-3/8" finished size). And create decorative envelope liners to fit in your hand-made envelopes. Use any of our scrapbook papers, or virtually any kind of paper, for a contrasting liner: elegant, colorful, wacky, or patterned. Great for personal stationery, party or wedding invitations.
Sturdy plastic with a slot for scoring the folds. The templates are overlaid to show how the liner fits within the back flap. Click on the smaller photos to see the 2 templates separately.
Two photos of a sample envelope made with these templates are by Design Team Member Teri Calia. (The double-sided scrapbook papers work great, as the border around the edges of the flap will automatically have a contrasting pattern.)
$2.98/each
Rivet SetterConcave on one end, so you won't smash the rounded side of a rivet set. Use with a hammer and a bench block.

Rosary Pliers Combination round nose/side cutter. Loops and bends can be made and wire cut without changing tools.
$5.49 each
1.5mm Metal Alphabet & Numeral Stamps
New, tiny size (click on one of the small photos for a size comparison to our larger metal stamp set). Steel punches (26 letters plus an ampersan ("&") and 9 numerals - use the same punch for '6' and '9'). Packaged in a custom hinged box with labeled slots to keep the punches organized.
Use with a Bench Block and Chasing Hammer for stamping soft metals. Used on a raw brass Blank Tiny Tag for the 'DRINK ME' tag (for an Alice in Wonderland project).
$16.99/set
Metal Alphabet Stamps
1/8" letters (plus an ampersan) for stamping words into soft metals. Comes in a labelled wooden storage stand (no lid).
$9.99/set
2-Hole Metal Punch
This punch can make holes in metal thicknesses up to approximately 2-3mm, depending on metal type. Screw action makes holes without deforming metal. Can also be used for plastic and other materials.
The hole sizes made are approximately 1.5mm (perfect for Brass Rivets) and 2mm in diameter. (The two hole sizes are shown on a 1" Brass Disk with 2 holes in the larger photo.)
$10.98/each
Rubber Block
This vulcanized block can be used wet or dry without the chance of slipping. It allows the removal of dents and straightening of metals without distorting or scratching the surface. Also, you can set a steel block on this rubber block to absorb shock when texturing or imprinting letters into metal. Measures 4" x 4" x 1"
A rubber block was used under the 16mm Filigree Bead Cap and 8mm Etched Bead Cap to keep them from scratching while they were being flattened (for the riveted sample art shown in the small photo).
$5.98/each
For working on the vintage patinaed brass filigrees, I would suggest using "Tool Magic" Rubber Coating with all your tools (unless the extra aging of a few scratches is the look you're aiming at).
Bench Block
Hardened steel blocks support your work as you flatten, straighten and harden wire. Smooth surface on both sides. Versatile tool: use for metalwork, riveting and clay projects. Set steel block on a rubber block or leather sand bag to absorb shock when texturing or imprinting letters into metal. Measures 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" x 1"
Note: These bench blocks come wrapped in plastic (and coated with machine oil to protect them in transit). But this is a very good price for a little prep/cleaning.
$13.98/each
Chasing Hammer
Designed for gold- and silversmiths, flat head is used to flatten and shape metals and for striking other chasing tools. Round end forms decorative patterns. Wood handle with steel head. Can also use for setting Brass Rivets.
$6.98/each
Mini Mallet
This compact, no-mar jewelry mallet includes two detachable 17.5mm ends -- a rubber hammer face and a yellow PVC hammer face. The non-porous materials will not mar your metals and is easily cleaned. 6-1/4 inches overall, 2-inch long dual head.
$2.99/each
Two flattened Magnolia Bead Caps as 4-petal flower decorations.
Brass Rivets
1/4" long nailhead rivets with a vintage patina. Simply punch or drill a 1.5mm hole into your pieces, and use a ball peen or chasing hammer to do the rest. You can rivet flattened bead caps, hardware or findings to our Brass Pendant Blanks for a unique layered look.
Note: You can rivet varying sized holes as long as you use a washer (or a flattened bead cap as a washer).
To rivet: 1. Punch or drill a 1.5mm hole into your pieces, slide the rivet through both pieces. 2. Cut excess length off the rivet end to about 1/16" (brass is soft so side cutters work fine). 3. Lay your pieces on a hard surface, preferably a steel bench block, with the nail head facing down and the rivet end slightly protruding. 4. Lightly tap, using a ball peen or chasing hammer, the rivet end so it spreads out slightly over the hole opening. Gradually increase the intensity of the hammer taps until both pieces are secure.
The star pendant sample also uses a Spoked Gear and Star Trellis Filigree.
A Spoked Gear, a Square Brass Pendant Blank and a Small Hammered Ring are also shown in the hammered (square) pendant sample.
A rubber block was used under the 16mm Filigree Bead Cap and 8mm Etched Bead Cap to keep them from scratching while they were being flattened (for the earrings sample).

$13.95* $16.95*
Tiny Brass Screw Sets
Teeny, tiny screws, nuts & washers.
Shown in the photo at right in a nutdriver (I would suggest using a tiny screwdriver in one hand and a nutdriver in the other, as these are much too small to hold onto with fingers).
Artwork by Design Team Member Barbe Saint John from her project in Steampunk Style Jewelry. Click on thumbnail to see more details.
$1.09/3 sets (3 screws, 3 washers, 3 nuts)
Tiny Screwdriver Set
6 screwdrivers & 5 nutdrivers in a hard plastic case.
A nut from the Tiny Brass Screw Sets is shown in the photo at right in one of the nutdrivers (I would suggest using a screwdriver in one hand and a nutdriver in the other, as they are much too small to hold onto with fingers).
$4.49/Set

$13.49 each.

Bail-Making Pliers
6" long. 6mm and 8.5mm jaws. The "cylinder" of each side of the jaw being parallel (instead of tapering to a point like round nose pliers) makes bending filigree into curves easier (and, of course, they're great for making bails or making your own jump rings out of wire).
$11.99
"Tool Magic" Rubber Coating
Clear rubber coating for plier tips (to allow working with coated Craft Wire or Filigrees without scratching). 2 ounce jar. Easy to use & includes instructions.
$6.99

The pages come in cream or black. (The covers come in sets of 2; the pages are in sets of 10.) The 4.1" x 4.1" covers would be perfect for binding a chunky book.
Binding wires in 3 sizes and 4 colors (all the wires come in packs of 2 and are 12" long; you can cut the wires down to size for a small project).
The Christmas book at left was made by Miz Bella using one of the red binding wires. The calendar is by Lenna Andrews.
