what is this called/do you sell it? picture included

[kaod55]

Hello,

So I need a bit of help, and its Christmas related, so I put it in this section.
I am looking to buy something which I call a bauble topper. Ages ago my local craft shop sold these, but they have stopped selling them and I have been trying to find someone else who does. However not knowing a proper name makes interent searching tricky.
I've been phoning up craft shops to ask if they sell them and then I though, I will post a picture on here and see if anyone recognises it and hopefully has some in their craft shop (fingers crossed!)

It is a piece of wire (usually copper colour) which is bent into a loop with two prongs from it. The prongs are pushed through the centre of a bead cap.
Then you push the prongs into a styrofoam ball, and then the ball can be hung from a tree with ribbon attatched.
Any help is much appreciated!

No idea what they are called but I think "bobble hanging thing'ies " is a good description

Have googled this already and nothing :(

Loving the diagram though :-)

Good luck in your search :)

have you tried paper fastener type things at stationery shops? failing that could you cut a safety pin down?

Know what you mean but not a clue on the name sorry

Thats ok guys, I'll keep looking!
Think I'll just buy some wire and make them myself.

Hi

I've been looking for these and the only place I could find them was

http://www.craftmill.co.uk/epages/Store.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/CraftMill/Products/HP01

If you found a different place could you let me know ... pretty please?

Little_hands, that link was the same place that Wish found for me and PM'd. I emailed the seller, and that price is for 100 pins. I have been looking for these for a few years, and this is the best place I have seen lately, exactly what I am looking for.
I hope this helps : )

I hope this helps : )

Thanks kaod55. Very helpful.

I've been looking for months and only found these guys. You'd think there would be loads of places selling them!! I was trying to find the ones that have more of a cylindrical cap. Better get a couple of boxes in ... should last me a few years :)
