I finally got my hat pin findings in and with cruise a mere 7 DAYS AWAY!!!! I was excited to start putting together some hat pins. I got a very good start on them and made myself a variety to go with the different things I might wear on the cruise.
Hats are going to be a must on the cruise...staying out of the sun for a very fair skinned melanoma survivor is priority number one! I quickly discovered a couple of things about the hat pins:
1. They are very very sharp.
2. They did not come with a nail head like pictured.
3. They are a lot more bendable than I expected
To try and prevent the top bead from sliding off I used a bit of beading glue - essentially super glue. I managed to glue my fingers together and to the hat pin finding the last one I made for the night.
I tried to get my fingers free. 5 minutes later I had one free.
5 more minutes together and I managed to get the rest of my hand free. I will admit to still having super glue remnants on my fingers this morning.
Here are some of the results.
Oh my word, the first glued finger pic is DISGUSTING! haha! The hat pins are lovely, though. My fave is the round one on the left in the bottom pic.
