Title: Head Brad
Secret's of Scrapbooking: Brads!
Brads are small metal embellishments that are great for linking two (or more) layers together or adding a nice 3D (aka: depth) aspect to your work, or both! Brads have two thin, pointed, metal shanks that are bent at 45 degree angles after inserting into the object(s), to secure them. No glue or tape is required, the metal shanks are stiff enough to hold the objects together. If the brad needs to be removed, you just "un-bend" the shanks and release the items.
There are a LOT of creative (and simple) brads out there, including (really): cocktail glasses, trout, sock monkeys, and of course, rhinestones, just to name a few.
As soon in this photo, a simple yellow brad is used to enhance the flower in the woman's hair by giving it a color element and a depth element.
Enjoy
