Decorative Pins... ...A lovely addition to your cards.
Decorative Pins are a lovely addition to your stash of embellishmnets
These days we no longer wear hats the same, but these embellishments are making a come back in the cardmaking arena.
They are a shortened version of the "Hat pin" but they are just as useful.
You can buy them from a lot of craft or haberdashery shops, but these are from
The Hobby House
They are in a wheel of about 30 pins and if you buy them in the plain pearl then you can colour them yourself, with some marker pens or alcohol inks, to match your colour scheme.
These have been coloured gold and secured in to the flowers on the left of the card.
A very pretty
Gatefold Card
that has been dressed for a 60th Birthday.
You can buy them in teardrop, heart, flowers and globe shapes and there are some really beautiful ones around.
The loose ones in the picture have gold or silver around the bottom of the pin head, and they are more expensive.
But if you are only adding one or two to your "Special" cards then they will last you a while.
This very special
Bow Front Card
has two pins added to the flowers.
And the result is very luxurious to this wedding card.
But you can be more adventurous with your pins and add extras to them.
The pin on this card has had others
Beads
added to make it more decorative.
