Where can I get clasps to attach to polymer clay charms?

Which wire you'd choose for jewelry depends on a few things: ...how much you want to spend (usually changes by the quality of precious metals in a wire) ...how thick you want the wire ...how soft or bendable you want the wire ...what color you want the wire--some are even dyed or have colored plastic coatings ...what you want to use the wire for If you're looking for wire to make your own "eye pins" like this http://www.jewelry-tools.com/WJU/techniq... to then embed in the top of your charms so you can attach them to something else (or to put a jump ring through so they'll dangle and connect), you'd generally just use the ordinary "gold" or "silver" colored wire you find coiled in packs at craft stores, or on spools you'll find at bead stores and perhaps some craft stores. You *could* use any wire you want though depending on the look you want, as long as the wire won't be too soft and deform too easily. A common size would be 20 gauge wire which I do use for making eye pins and various other findings for polymer clay.

16 gauge wire is quite large in diameter and would make a very thick eye pin, whereas 24 gauge would make a very thin one perhaps even look a bit dinky. Or you could just buy eye pins from craft or bead stores, or online, and trim them to the length you need for a particular clay piece. You can also use U shapes to embed (upside down) into polymer clay items you want to attach to something.

There you can even use plastic-coated telephone wire as well as (shortened) paperclips, and U shapes you bend yourself from any wire before embedding. All kinds and sizes of wire are used with polymer clay in various ways though, and wire can be purchased or scavenged in a lot of places! For lots of options for dangling and connecting polymer clay pieces, including eye pins and U-shapes and more, check out this page at my site --esp under the *Loops* subcategory for eye pins: http://glassattic.com/polymer/pendants_c... And if you want lessons and more info on making eye pins and other findings, as well as using wire in other ways, check out this page: http://glassattic.com/polymer/wire.htm (for making eye pins, look under the category *Basic Wire Shapes*) and more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
