Description

The listing, Package of Flower Brads (brads? I Don't Know What These Are Called.) has ended.

I bought a small package of these colorful flowers. I removed the sticker when I opened it. That was years ago. I've forgotten what they are and what I was planning to do with them.

When I was taking photos of these, I thought somebody could use them with a hole punch to hold papers together, instead of staples. I dunno. Any ideas???
They are cute and could really add some color to your crafts.

I took photos of two close up so you can see how the stems bend. They are very easy to open and close- nothing like trying to open a staple!

Please add a message and help me figure out what these are called or what they can be used for. I'd love to see some ideas!

I had them stored in a box with my crafts. They were with beads, stickers, scrapbooking paper, paint, gel pens and a lot of random things used to make jewelry. I had them stored next to a small package of silver tacs / brads. (I plan to auction those very soon.)

Maybe you could find good use for these...

Sorry for the delayed response. They are metal. It's easy to bend the stems (or whatever they're called). I just bent them with my fingernail. My fingernails are thin so it doesn't take much effort to bend them. I don't know how well you can see but they are painted on the underside and inside the stems too. So, when you bend the ends back, you don't see any metal.

I hope that helps.
Thanks for asking!

Thank you. I fanned you back. The man in your photo looks like my brother in law. They could be brothers!
