I knit and crochet, and I use stitch markers to keep my place when doing a pattern or knitting in the round. I see all sorts of cute but expensive handmade stitch markers, and with my own collection of beads, I figured I could make them myself. These eye pins worked great! I used a variety of beads on them. I used a round-tip jewelry plier to close the top loop around a 3.0 to 5.0 mm split ring. Each marker took about one minute to make. I whipped up about 50 handmade stitch markers in an hour. A few were bent, but they were easy enough to straighten. None were damage. Each size came sealed separately.
I love the amount you get for your money. The gauge is perfect, easy to work with but not too soft. I make rosary's so I need a firm metal.
I noticed a comment was made about the larger size pins arriving bent. Yes some do come bent but I use those to make smaller ones like I did in the picture. I get two out of one pin.
The only thing I would change is letting us purchase a particular size if needed. I use more 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch pins. The 1/2in. I find other places are not true in size, way too short.
This product arrived quickly and were as described. I use them to make dangles using only 2 or 3 seed beads on the shortest Eye Pin. I create a loop and connect them using jump rings. The dangles can be used in art and fabric projects. Read the product description to make sure these will work for you.
Works great in my jewelry making. Should last a long time, great deal for the money.
Product looks good and arrived on time. However I thought it would be silver and yellow gold color eye pins,it is not yellow gold color. Over all there was no problem.

Needed to complete project
Very nice
Like the mix sizes and color
These eye pins are great! This is a fantastic amount of eye pins for whatever jewelry project you are making. These work great for making bead or drilled gemstone connectors or pendants. I love the range in length and the two colors, these work perfect for my jewelry projects and my wire-wrapping projects. These are strong enough to hold up, yet flexible enough to be able bend the wire for wire-wrapping or jewelry making.
Full disclosure: I received this product at a discount for my honest review.
A great price for a lot of eye pins! These will come in handy for so many projects. One thing that I greatly appreciate is that each size comes in it's own little resealable bag, and is labeled. No more digging around for the right size! I get so irritated with mixed size findings come all mixed up and you have to struggle finding the right size. The thickness of these are great as well. Bends well with pliers.
