Hi Lucy ,
the crimp rings will hold chenille stems (fancy term for pipe cleaners !!) in place , giving an inner bendy wire armature .
www.sassyfabrics.com definitely sell both items ; but remember your import duty of £18 (don't include the postage) at this site.
Sounds like an ambitious first mini pattern ;):)

Hi Lou,

You can get crimp rings from Maplin too, I use them all the time with modelling wire for my mice. :)

Regards

Lisa

Thankyou both for your help!

I think it may be a bit too ambitious but I will give it a good go!!!
