PENTA ANGELMini Brads 100Pcs Assorted Colors Paper Fasteners Round Brass Metal Pastel Brads for Scrapbooking Crafts DIY Projects, 8x14mm

My daughter had an extensive family tree project (she's 7, so why not?!). I had a vision, as overachieving mamas often do, to laminate "apples" of the tree with family members' photos, and put them on top of another apple with each person's name. Easy peasy, right? I had an epiphany that Brad's would work best to be able to rotate the picture apple to see the info underneath. I looked for brads at both Walmart and Office Depot. I found these here and they worked PERFECTLY. The board for the project was a traditional 3 panel display board, so I was nervous that the brads would be too short. They were great. My only regret with them was that I wasted time going to 2 stores first instead of just ordering online in the first place.

The heads are slightly smaller than the typical brass fastener.They break after bending them a few times.I use brass fasteners for a monthly log and never had a regular brass one break after bending them daily for a month. I decided to try colored ones to help distinguish one log from another quickly. But I'll go back to using strictly brass again.

These are small compared to your typical brass fastener maybe half the size but work well and are adorable.

Wellllll.... they're kinda cheap...and not necessarily in a good way. You truly get what you pay for. They're very cute but almost completely non-functional.

I needed a colorful mini brad for a project, and this worked wonderfully!

I loved that these are colored! They were cheap, but that's why I bought them! My only problem was about 15 of them were broken when I got them!

Way too small and short. Not suitable for anything. 12 mm length too short, need 20 mm to do anything meaningful.

These are perfect for my project!
