30 Pcs Antique Label Holder, 3.3 Inch Long Metal Office File Cabinet Shelves Drawer Name Card Label Holder Frames with Screws (Bronze)

$ 1.19

I ordered these for a little faux library catalog shelf thing I made with wood boxes from Dollar Tree & paint sticks from dad’s garage ?. I needed a bunch of metal embellishments that looked like they were label drawers you’d see in a library & these fit the bill & the price was perfect!The screws are small, obviously bc it’s a small item with a small hole. I use a trick I use when installing saw tooth hangers on signs… I get “poster tack” from DT, it’s used to tack posters to the wall without having to make a hole, it’s almost like silly putty or gum, but not as sticky. I use a small little tiny piece, roll it into a ball, then put it in the hole where the screw goes when Im ready to put the screws in. Then I stick the screw into the poster tack, into the hole & it hold it in place without dropping it 25 times bc I have larger hands for a female & don’t do well with tiny screws or nails, lol! The screw goes right through the poster tack & you can pull it off once the screw is all the way in… I usually pull it off halfway through bc sometimes it can get stuck between the screw & the thing you’re screwing in (no big deal if it’s on the back but there were on the front so i didn’t want any blue poster tack left behind.Great little embellishments, exactly what I was looking for and because you get so many, I have plenty left over for a furniture project. It’s also the best price I could find for the amount you get & they are real metal & sturdy.
