: Any shops that sell plushy hardware?
: kohl September 19, 2011, 01:43:07 -06:00
Need a place that sells plushy eyes, limb rivets/washers.

Edit:
Dressew. Doll Joints (cotter pin/washer/disc). Only googly eyes.

I'm not sure about the eyes, but the limb "rivets" are actually Chicago posts in most cases, which are available at Tandy, Leather Factory and other leather supply shops. There's one on King George Highway and 106th in Surrey.

You might be able to find Eyes at Dresew. They have a lot of things there.
Michaels even.

Rivets as in the joints for limbs and heads? I think I still have a bunch here on hand, don't recall what size they were. Plastic washers, and snap posts, something you were looking for?

I've seen the Chicago posts (screws) at Tandy before. I'd give them a try but I'd still need a proper fitting washer. Maybe between there and Home Depot I can put something together.

I'll check out Dressew later today.

Those are the joints I need Jim. I hope you found them locally. A trade would be nice if they're what I'm looking for. Snaps or Screws? I've had trouble with snaps before.

There's a slight chance Michaels will have eyes. They used to, but from what I was told at the one here, the company's almost entirely downsized the bear-making section to focus on their premades.

They are snaps.. well the posts are made so that it locks in one direction over the other plate. What sort of trouble did you have with them before?

Found some joints at Dressew. Metal cotter pin/metal washer/(no clue what the material is) disc. The only eyes were googalies.

The girl at Dressew mentioned Micheal's. Never checked though.

Looks like Dear Bears has the stuff. I'll think of you, Kitten, when I give some creatures the gift of sight.

The "snaps" look like the Chicago Screws but smooth, you just squeeze them together. They didn't seem to have much hold when being pulled apart.
