"TOOL TIME TUESDAY" EASY BRADMAKER

Hello Bloggers!

This week's tool is the new Easy Bradmaker by Chatterbox.



A few week's ago I highlighted the I-TOP by Imaginisce which is also a brad maker but for those who wondered if there was anything easier out there...Chatterbox has come up with a solution.

Can you tell I love brads?

Get ready to hold in your hands the most unique & completely customized embellishments you have ever seen… and the best part is, you will have made them yourself in just a matter of minutes! When you’re done, you’ll find a million ways to use them on all of your artsy projects... from paper-crafting, to jewelry making to adding special touches to home décor projects.

You can create unique brads in 4 easy steps
1. Punch out paper, photo or printed message to use as center of brad
2. Adhere appropriate sized crystal to punch-out
3. Apply spot of adhesive to back of punch-out circle
4. Attach crystalized punch-out circle to matching sized brad.

The starter set includes: 8 large brads, 10 medium brads, 14 small brads, 3 punch tools, 1 sheet of self-adhesive epoxy crystals, and 1 sheet of self-adhesive circles.

This would work great for making custom buttons too! You would simply buy clear buttons, chose your paper , photo, monogram or message, punch it out and adhere it to the back.
So super simple!

I noticed that OVERSTOCK.COM had it at a really great low price of just $16.99 but I am not sure how long that price would last. The $2.95 shipping is a money saver too unless you can get free shipping.

If you love brads & buttons as much as I do and relish in the thought of being able to customize your own, I think this tool is a must for you.

Happy Crafting!
Let me know if you love it :)
