A friend gave me a couple sets of these adorable dragonfly brads simply because I love dragonflies. They are a simple, lightweight brad that one can use for scrapbooking, simple craft decoration, or to hold papers together. Unlike the traditional brad, these only have a single conjoined shank instead of two. They did work nicely when I used them to go through a few pieces of notebook paper, but any more than than was a bit tricky. I put my thumb directly behind the shank so it wouldn't bend.
The appearance and color scheme matches the picture nicely. In each package the colors are equally divided so I'm not overloaded with one color over another. The wings and tail of each dragonfly are nicely detailed and creates a nicely raised design on the paper. The package acts as a container as it closes nicely to store the dragonflies. Keep in mind that these dragonflies are small and are approximately 3/4-inch wide. The photograph belies the "cute factor" and makes them look a bit sloppy. They are adorable and would be perfect for craft and scrapbooking use.
