Mobile Phone Straps with Lobster Clasp

ProjectZero on 26/06/2015 - 15:12

Hi guys,

I went and pre-ordered the yarn yoshi amiibo because it just looked so awesome but not really interested in the game… What I've decided to do with it is to use it as a car ornament similar to a fuzzy dice.

I'm planning on using this type of thing to attach it but I really don't need 100pcs… anyone know where I can get some (lots of 5 or something) for 10-20c? Anyone know any arts and crafts shop? I know it will be more expensive but I'd rather spend an extra couple of cents then rather having to store the rest of the 90+ if i bought it from ebay.

Hopefully someone here might know a niche place that might have them.

Thanks!

      Lol cheers. Maybe I should buy 100pcs and sell the ones I didn't use to them for 50c.

      The thing goes for a buck, I think you should just get that and distribute out the rest to family and friends. Cheap way to build relationship as this thing is quite useful.

    You can get packets of 10-20 of these from the Reject Shop (at least you could a while back), Spotlight have them too. Not looking at any more than $1-2 a packet.

      Will check those places out as well. Thanks!

        Pretty easy to find in the dollar stores in the craft/beading section. Or if you have some crafty friends, they might be able to spare one or two! You might be able to just use a long string and loop it around like this

        Let us know how it looks, I bought them for the same reason (no wii) as I thought they looked so cute!!

          Cheers, I only bought the blue one though so probably can't link them up XD.

          For now, I'm just using a random elastic string that came with some of the tags on my clothes… working pretty well so far, though a bit long… will keep looking around for something better.

          Thanks!

          @ProjectZero: The reason I say string is because you can just cut it as short as needed, if you change your mind and Yoshi moves home then you can just cut and discard the string =D Maybe even a hairtie/elastic looped through the one on Yoshi's head. Then when you are attaching it over your mirror, you can stretch it over the mirror. Hope that's understandable!

          Aww, I bought pink and green :)

          @garmibear:

          Hmm… didn't think to use a hair tie or elastic… might look into that.

          Thanks!

    I have a bunch of those from crafts/jewelry-repair. ^^"

    I'm not sure how big your Yoshi is, but if you can't find these clasps, could also consider carabiners, 5 for $1. (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/New-5-X-Aluminium-Carabiner-Campi…)

      I have a few of tyhose carabineers, dont think they will work as they are too big
