I need help identifying these tips and what they are used for. I've taken two pictures...one from above and one from the front.

 

 

You might have to zoom in to see the top of the third tip from the left. Thank you!

Each tip should have a number on them and that should help identify them better.

Sorry-no numbers on the tips. I should have included that information in my previous post. Honestly I would NOT have chosen these tips as they don't have information with them, but they were a gift.

Check out  s u g a r c r a f t . c o m/catalog/misc/tipusage.htm.  Had to put spaces in the company name so that you could see it.

It's just showing copy...let me see what it comes up with when I Google it.

Okay I just checked that link and it's the same chart that I already have-there are no tips matching these shown on the chart (this and the fact that there are no numbers listed are the reasons why I took two pictures).

Okay I did find a picture where SOME of these tips look more like the PME tips but I do not think that they are made by PME as PME shows their numbers. I will see if there is a chart for them.

Okay they do NOT appear to have a chart. So far I'm not coming up with anything except one of these tips looks SIMILAR to a PME tube but IS NOT made by PME. Maybe we can just look at the tips and see what they might be used for (again, there's a reason for the pictures...LOL)?

 

Don't you just HATE it when someone gives you a gift and they don't stick to known brands?

The second tip from the right is a ruffle tip.

 

Google image search PME ruffle Tubes

 

I have them and love them.

 

Not sure about the others.

Scroll down this page and look at the 2 posters of tips and numbers.  Maybe they will help.

Not really :( I can't see the sides of them very well and there's one that has a hooklike thing on the top and I don't see any like that either.

 

Why couldn't she just go with either Ateco or Wilton or PME and go from there? GRRR!!! icon_mad.gif And I don't want to hurt my mama's feelings but I'm tempted to give them to her and say SEND THEM BACK NOW!

AYou picture is too blury so I cannot really make them out. Perhaps some of these are the ones? http://www.countrykitchensa.com/shop/cake-decorating-supplies/supatube-frill-tube-set/38/531/223/2270/

Can you ask your mom where she purchased them?

Okay I am pretty sure that one is a ruffle tip. I'm not sure about the others. The one on the left has a hook on the top and then there are two that have v shapes on the sides...maybe another ruffle tip?

No numbers, that is interesting.  All the tips look a bit strange as well and I've never really seen any that look like these.  It kind of looks like the third one in from the left may be a leaf tip and the last one looks almost like a shell boarder tip but its hard to tell from the picture.  I would either just ask here where she bought them and try to look them up or just start experimenting with them to see what you can do.

I once received some tips from Korea and not a single one had a number on it.  I just played around with them to see what different shapes they made.  Those were the only tips I've ever had that didn't have numbers on them.

That might be what these are-they have no numbers, no directions.

You can just play around with them and see what they do for you! It'll be an experiment.

Thank you. My next question is about the position of the bag when using the ruffle tip.
