D-rings for clothing

[Yorkie3]

Can anyone tell me where to purchase the D-rings used for harness dresses and other items? I've looked at Hobby Lobby, JoAnn's Fabric (big store in Lafayette), Wal Mart, K-mart, Target. The ones I have found are too large, when I ask if they carry the smaller ones I'm told "no". I make my babies most of their own clothing, but decided I would now like to make them as harnesses. No, I'm not going in to business to sell them, so I won't be competing with anyone. I just want to make them for my own at my leisure. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance!!!

I can just sell you some . . .I carry really tiny ones that are only 1/2" wide. Just PM how much you need.

I get mine on ebay. But I have bought them at joanne's and walmart. I get the 3/4 inch.

I've bought small ones at Michael's.

Hancock Fabrics. Try any fabric store.

I get mine from WalMart. I think the last ones I bought were 3 in a package for about $2.00. I too searched for them. When I called to ask if they had any, they said "no". When I went there for something else, there they were, hanging in plain sight!! Course, at the WalMart here, most of the people wouldn't know the difference between a "D"-ring and an earring!!

You may want to try Michaels. I'd call and ask to speak with the arts and crafts department.

If you are going to be using more than a few I'd check online. I'm sure you can find a much better deal than at the stores around you.

Here's a couple of sites I've bought from, I haven't boought d-rings but other stuff...From this one I have ordered barrettes for making bows. She was very quick to get my order out. www.lesbonribbon.com (I didn't see 1/2" though only 3/8" and 1" brass ones) for a pkg of 100 3/8" its 7.50

And this one I have ordered ribbon. www.jcarolinecreative.com Her's are under belt hardware.

Janet just ordered 10 rings from me I believe she is looking to making only a few dresses for her babies so I offered to sell her some of mine.

Thank you everyone for all the responses. I've ordered some from Tiger's Mom. She was kind enough to let me buy some off her. I want to put some on dresses I've already made and then make a few more. I like to sew more in the winter time than summer so I'll have enough for awhile. I will try looking in some of the other places mentioned though and can't thank you all enough.

My Michaels, Joanns and Walmart don't carry the smaller size that are used on harnesses. I just ordered some on-line from the jcaroline website (link in above message). They are very reasonable. She had the 3/8 in and the 5/8 inch.

I was checking ebay and found Creative Designworks. But instead of going through ebay, I found their website instead and have ordered lots of things from them.....www.cdwplus.com and all the items I have purchased have not had any additional shipping costs...plus the more you order, the cheaper the price. I use sizes 1/2 and 3/4.

I enjoy making things for our girls also and almost everything now has a d-ring to make it easier to take them for walks!!
