Description:
Alter corsage pins by permanently adding beads and embellishments to them. The color and style possibilities are endless. Pins can be purchased online, at Joann's or other fabric stores, Michael's, etc. Make them all different or all the same, it's up to you. I prefer the 1.5" and the 2" pins but they come in all different sizes. 3 pins for 2 partners = 6 pins total (minimum) BEWARE: Addiction warning! These are so fun and easy to make and the combinations and embellishments are endless. You. Will. Love. These.

Question: I bought the corsage stick pins at Joanne's but they have the pearl on top. Do you just break that off and use your own?

Hi Jan! You can color the pin top with alcohol inks, glitter the pin or leave it plain pearl. It's up to you :)
