Review on Tim Holtz Idea-ology Metal Buckles - Set of 6 Fasteners with Assorted Finishes (TH93064) by Carla Anderson

These buckles are nothing special. There are 2 silver, 2 bronze and 2 gold colors and they come with matching wands. Whatever you use with the buckle, you thread the shackle through it and the hole at the bottom of the buckle. Holds up well but you can't grab tight and pull. This will work to thread the tape and get it shut, plus some pressure to hold something together, you just can't overuse it. Anything other than a nail, e.g. A screw, for example, can make it stiffer because the metal area where the hole is appears to be thick enough. They looked good in my project.
