We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these great new attachments & embellishments from Making Memories, and know you will, too!


Decorative Brads
These beautiful new Decorative Brads have exquisite detailing, which reminds us of vintage upholstery tacks or buttons. You can use them anywhere you need a vintage touch. To use, simply punch a hole, insert the brad, and bend the prongs back. Each brad is approximately 1/2” in diameter, so they make a strong statement in your artwork. Each set has 4 brads each in 3 interesting styles, for a total of 12 brads per package. We can’t decide, and we’re sure you’ll need to have all of them, too!
