Some of them have beads on them and I think they are called quilters pins. Anyway I have made hat pins using them by threading different color beads though them and adding a drop of craft glue, kind that will stick to metal.. Also used solid pin backs on the sharp end, don't remember what these are called.

To display the hat pins, I found the holders was very expensive.. I bought old china, hand painted salt and peper shakers at thrift stores. they look very old. And some are old. Just by one if it don't have a mate. Even better, cause it will be cheaper... Go to a bead store and they have the beads and the gold sticks to put them on, with covers on the bottom so they don't stick you. Hope this helps... kddid Report Spam or Abuse RE: Homemade Hat Pins Post by thriftyboo (106) | (07/15/2006) Profile | Contact I see hat pins at local antique stores, flea markets and craft shows.
