100 TIN CONES 1" Native American Leathercraft Jewelry Regalia Pow Wow Jingles
Tin crimp cones (historically called "tinklers") are available in a pack of 100 for Native American regalia, jewelry making, and leather crafts. These 1-inch metal cones are commonly used to decorate knife sheaths, bags, moccasins, and powwow clothing.
Several specialty merchants provide 100-packs of 1-inch tin cones:
- Features an overall 1-inch length with a 1/8-inch opening on one side and a 3/16-inch opening on the opposite side.
- Period-correct metal composition that is heavier and less shiny than aluminum.
- Easy to crimp onto leather, cord, or fabric fringe using standard needle-nosed pliers.
- Authentic trapezoid-rolled structure traditional to historical regalia and beading projects.
- Perfect for capping off horsehair tufts, thread fringe, or dyed feathers.
- Attachment Method: When attaching to leather thongs or cordage, insert the cord or horsehair from the wide base through to the narrow end, tie a secure knot to hide inside the cone, and crimp the narrow top lightly rather than crushing the entire body flat.
