So after the day before yesterday's failure I tried another attempt at covering the pin and this time I was satisfied.
If you look closely at the first picture you'll see that I covered the pin with some tatting at both ends so the only part that shows is the head of the safety pin. Now some people may find that annoying but I think the baubles will attract the attention away from that. Anyway I can live with it as it is! I'm easily pleased!
I put the pin on some denim to show up how it'll look on the coat and then took it to Tat Days to show off!!!!
Before I put it in it's travelling box I sprayed the brooch with Scotch Guard so it won't pick up dirt. This is a trick I sometimes use with earrings too so they don't get the oil off off my scrawny old neck!!
very sweet!
ReplyDeleteVery colorful and clever baubles! I also like the coil-less pin and the tip about Scotch Guard!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bauble brooch!
ReplyDeleteI see,.... you made those baubles to chat up the Houtz brothers! How clever!!
ReplyDeleteGreat cover on that safety pin, thanks for the 2 very usefull tips!
Well, Tally Tatty, you've found out what I'm doing!!!! I ADORE the Houtz brothers and have met both of them. If only they weren't happily married and I was a lot younger. Old people like me can dream, eh?
