Welcome to Show Me Sundays- my name is Debbie B and I'm a Frosted Design- Sketch Along Tuesdays team member and I'm excited to show you this week how to make some of your own handmade decorative pin embellishments. This is such an easy project for anyone to do -let me show you how.
First, gather all your supplies. I have several glues or adhesives in the photo- but you can choose which ever one works best for you. I tend to like my Yes paste the best (little bit sticky to work with), but the best adhesive for this project is a precision cement adhesive (made just for bead/jewelry making.) Of course you need the 2" head pins- which you can find at your craft stores for about $4.00 (pkg of 165) and your variety of decorative beads. I like to keep my baby wipes handy ...you might get a few sticky fingers from the glues. Simple tools like tweezers or pliers might be helpful -but not necessary.
Now that I have choosen my adhesives and several decorative beads and laid them all out the way I want them to be on the pins I can now start gluing. You can find so many beads at your local craft stores sold by the strand or individually- the hardest part will be choosing which ones you want- cause there all so pretty.
Above (sorry a bit blurred) is me dipping the top of the pin into the paste about 1/2 way and then I will put the beads on the pin- which you might have to add more paste if you have more than one bead.
After you have all your beads on you will apply a bit more glue underneath the last bead and then wipe away any access paste/glue.

Thanks for sharing how to make our own decorative pins. Now I won't have to drool over these premade pins in the stores, but do not buy because of the cost.
Lovely, thanks for sharing!
Hi,
Thank you for your tutorial. Are these hat pins? They are beautiful and I can see how they could be wrapped around the part of a decorative like safety pin that doesn't stick through the fabric-but see no reference to that?
Thanks,
Marty
