Hej - what is a brad?

Zanara 02/16/2007 #

Hmmm, how to explain them - they are the cool little things that you punch through paper and then spread their metal "legs or prongs" - you always seemed to use them in public school. Does that explain it?

Zanara 02/16/2007 #

they have a "head" on the other side

NotYetTheDodo 02/16/2007 #

Yes, thanks, I get it - used them to close padded envelopes back then, right?

They use to be called paper fasteners and were gold/brass -- and sold in office supply stores. Now that scrapbooking is so popular -- they are known as brads and come in ALL shapes, colors and even sizes.

Mrs. D and 1CrazyQuilter, will be sending yours out tommorrow in the mail. I started on these and found myself on a scavengar hunt. I am big into scrapbooking but just recently redid my basement into a craft room so everything is everywhere. What a fun way to find my items. Hope you enjoy!
