Plastic claspers

[Seahorse]

Odd title..


I want to hold 2 pieces of perspex together by drilling holes through it.
But what do I use to hold it together?
Im thinking something metal, like brads, or a split pin.

Can you think of anything else.

Hubby recommends: nut and bolt, self-tapping screw, glue.
What are you doing exactly?

Sandwiching a photo between 2 small bits of perpsex.

Whats a self tapping screw?

I was thinking about rivits but I dont know how the work and they look too big.

Self-tapping screws are very common in B & Q, and any other of these type of shops. They are available in all different sizes, from very small to a lot bigger. All you have to do is drill a small hole and the screw makes its own thread, hance the name "self-tapping screw". The beauty about using these is if you want to change the pictures the screws can be taken out and then put back in again.
Hope this helps.

Aha, the sound good.
I was thinking of maybe making them into a necklace, would the back of the screw be easily snipped off?

[Sue T]

No, they are too hard to snip off.
