SO.....What do you do with an Up Eye?

I get asked that alot. 

Up eyes are little findings that you bond onto the backs of something else to make it hang.   Here you will find a photo of one of my personal favorite styles, that we offer on my site at http://www.bsueboutiques.com.   

Sometimes an upeye can be a simple little tab, almost like a chain end.  Usually that sort is best soldered rather than glued, especially if you are going to use it to attach chain to a finding to make it into a centerpiece, for say, a necklace. 

I like to use these larger, fluted up eyes to bond onto the back of a flat stamping, or button top, to make it into a button or charm.   Then you can sew it onto apparel, or better yet, make a button bracelet or charm bracelet from things that originally weren't drilled or had no hanging hole.

I use E6000 glue to bond them to the backs of appropriate stamped materials.   What's appropriate?  Hey, that's up to you.  I feel you should try anything.....you might come up with something wonderful.

ALWAYS THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX.
