Sale on Pins for Hair Styles
« on: March 06, 2012, 10:55:37 AM »
I found a nice sale I wanted to share with all of you.  I know many of you use the pearl topped sewing pins for hair styles but I found a sale on Swarovski crystal pins on Jewelrysupply.com!
 
Many colors and they seem like the would be perfect for ponies!

Just a word of caution: These pins are very soft, not at all as hard as regular pearl pins. When pushing them into the pony's head, make sure you have the hole ready and made bigger, otherwise the pin will bend. It can not poke a hole on its own.

No, the only pony that got them had her photo shot before adding  them. They are beautiful, just a bit fragile. I can take pics comparing them to pearl pins if anyone wants.

The reason they are softer is because they are not sewing "head" pins they are jewelry head pins which is just a pin with an end on it so you can put beads on it to make earrings and dangling parts on other jewelry :)

Thanks for the tips Hannaliten, I still think they are uber pretty and would be stunning when used though there are extra steps!
