The process of making Brads for Scrapbooking

Iron-coil2-copy

Brads start off as a coil of metal as shown in the image above.

The above machine is used to make the moulds for the shaped brads.

Brads made in the mould

The brads are processed through the machine and come out at the bottom.

The above picture shows Crystal Brads. The form and Acrylic gem need to be put together which gets done by hand.

The painting is done in a different factory, and I will be receiving those photos in the coming weeks.

Above are the images of our brads which should arrive in our store in about 10 days. They still need to be packed and the 5mm ones still need to be sprayed with glitter.

If you are interested in making your own design of brads, any shape or size, contact me and I will get you a quote from the factory.
