If you want a reasonably sized sample to see what the colour looks like in person or match with your project materials, grab yourself a 5" swatch. (10" for the rainbows and bats in order to get a full repeat).
If you order a bunch, they'll come on matte black gated o-rings!
Each cut end of swatch is passed through the flame of a candle to melt the edges to reduce fraying.
These swatches are made by hand and can vary in length between 4.5" and 5". The individually hand-cut-to-size piece of card-stock is stapled onto one end of the zipper tape, then using needle-nose pliers, I bend down the backs of the staples to reduce poke-age. I then cover the staple with a label before punching a hole at the top. This may change over time as I improve ways to make them. (I'm eyeballing some hanging tags, as an option.)
Hey, by the way, become a member of the Swatch Club by buying the One of Everything set. For the one-time purchase of the whole set, you will automatically be sent new swatches when new zipper tape arrives, for free! Want to become a Swatch Club Member? Check it out HERE!
DID YOU KNOW?
MATTE BLACK FINISH
In a nutshell, the black finish is a thin coating on top of a silver coloured base metal like zinc or aluminum. It's gorgeous, but it isn't perfect. Be aware that the matte finish is more prone to showing imperfections,, and the coating in general can wear off over time. If you scratch it with something sharp, the silver underneath can become visible.
ZIPPERS AND WEBBING
They are cut by the meter (not yard)- but a meter is 39.5". I like to round up to 40" when I measure and cut your order, so you get a little more than a meter each time!
