In Remembrance 9-11 Lapel Pin

This sort of goes hand in hand with the flag pin that I submitted recently.

List of Supplies:

• safety pins: 1 gold pin: size #2 (measures 1 1/2 inch), 12 gold pins: size #0

• glass beads in blue and white - Size 10MM
• 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.

Directions:

1. Using the photos as a guide, spread the loop on the large gold pin and set aside.

 

 
2. Prepare the small pins with the appropriate color glass beads. Each pin holds 10 beads. (Note: Beads may vary slightly in size, so you may have to change a bead or two so they will fit.)
