WIGGLE COIL (8"LONG)

Great stuff. Transforms any necklace into an attention-getting "what is THAT?" neckpiece. We love it and use it in the kitz, in memory wire necklaces, and in anything we can. Made of steel spring wire and tinted in fabulous pastel shades, its a real hit. We get assorted, you get assorted. You can have the most effective use by cutting them into pieces and using them in the Twist 'n' Curl or stringing them with beads (alternating) in a necklace. They're pretty indestructable, don't crush easily and cut well with wire cutters.

TREASURED TRANSFERS

Brass stamped SPIDER BLANKS
Bet you've never seen these before. Thin spider shaped cutouts, ready for you to glue on your own beautiful stone, bead or piece of jewelry. They are thin and easily bents, so my favorite way to mount them is to find a wooden button or small shape, paint it, then put on a silk leaf from a plant. add some silk thread (sulky's variegated) and you'll have a pretty spider in its web. They make delightful pins for kids!! We're low on them, so we're offering them in groups of six. You get silver tone and gold assorted.
