Safety Pin Jewelry - Flag Lapel Pin 7

List of Supplies:

  • Safety Pins:
    • 1 gold pin size #1 (measures 1 inch)
    • 10 gold pins size #00
  • Beads: Glass beads in red, white, and blue - Size 10MM

Directions

You will need a needle nose pliers and something to spread the loop end of your large safety pin. I find that a metal fingernail file works well for this, or perhaps a small letter holder.

Prepare the small pins with the appropriate color glass beads. Each pin holds 7 beads.

(Note: Beads may vary slightly in size, so you may have to change a bead or two so they will fit.)

Six of the pins will have red and white alternately. The remaining four will start with 3 blue followed by four white and red alternately.

Arrange as in photo 4 and assemble your pin using the photos as your guide. Wear with pride!

Using the photos as a guide, spread the loop on the large gold pin and set aside.
