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.

Thanks for the tip on spreading the end for room to add pins. The light bulb came on for me. Thank you again -
