A hat pin
holder is a container, that traditionally was made from porcelain that has lots
of holes (bigger than salt and pepper pot holes), in the top. You can use it to
store hat pins which usually are very
sharp at one end. This is a clever way
of keeping them upright and in good condition.
Most hatpin
holders are antique in style. Here is a site that sells antique reproductions
of hat pin holders.
Here is a
good tutorial from YouTube about making hat pins.
First you
need to buy a hat pin and the beads that you want to use in your hat pin.
Decide what order you want them to appear and thread them onto the hat pin.
Then use a crimping bead to hold all the other beads in place and use pliers to
tighten it so nothing will fall off.
It's really
as simple as that and if you bulk buy the hat pins, it can be a really cost
effective way to match the pins to your clothing.
The secret
when accessorizing a hat is not to over accessorize it. Pick a style and stick
to it. You can use hat pins, scarves, a
broach or a belt or even flowers and a feather. Just don't mix and match too
many different ideas.
