What is this called and where can I find it?

[mamabrandy]

Ok, so total blonde moment, I guess it is the blonde part of my strawberry blonde coming out! :) lol Rivets! It was right there, I just could not think of what it was called.

So, where can I find them? I'm looking online right now in hopes of finding something.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have seen them before but I can't think of what they are called or what keywords would bring them up in Google. It is the silver piece around where the necklace goes, hopefully that makes sense. I like how it makes it look finished.

I'm including pictures so you can see what I'm talking about :)

Are you talking about those little rings? If so they are called split rings and jump rings, they are different though.

You can find split and jump rings from fire mountain gem, brightlings beads, and even I am sure on ebay and etsy as well.

I'm not talking about the split rings, I know where I can get those. Thank you :)

I meant the thing around the hole itself.

I've figured that out. They look like rivets. I haven't been able to find exactly what I would need yet though :(.

It looks more like a grommet than a rivet to me. Try a search for grommets and see if that is any better.

Thank you! I'll try that and see what I can find :)

Or eyelets.

Or eyelets.

You might be right. I wonder if she used a sizzez machine to make it like that as well. They are using them to flatten bottlecaps.

Or possibly she is using a Crop A Dile for the rivets/grommets/eyelets. Those are pretty popular for doing those, they are much faster than any of the other setters that I have seen.

I'm so needing a Crop-A-Dile :girly:

[Idahomommyof4]

I know, me too :)

[Idahomommyof4]

Gotta wait for the craft store to have a 50% off coupon and then I'm all over it. They have them every Monday (only), the rest of the week it's a 40% off coupon. But I'm a cheapskate, but am also scatterbrained so by the time I get to the store, it's not Monday anymore :)

[Chrissiemags]

ah I'm watching one on eBay now for even less than 50% and it's brand new in the package! :3:

[mamabrandy]

Thanks, ladies! I think I'll take a look around for a Crop-A-Dile:)
