HANDY HINTS

Opening brad packs
Ever found this to be a frustrating job?
As you open the pack all the colours get mixed up.
Here's how to do it without mixing the colours...
Open the plastic and hold the backing paper in place.
Flip it onto the table.
Remove the plastic packaging carefully without disturbing the brads.
Separate the various colours using a suitable implement.
(Just like a pharmacist counts tablets.)
Scoop them up on a piece of paper and pour them
into a divided box.
