After you've purchased your beads and are ready to begin assembling them onto the pin, the only thing you need to worry about (besides how it looks in the finished product) is how to keep those beads staying put and not sliding down the pin~ SIMPLE! 

Sting selected beads onto the hat pin, add one open-end clutch to the end of your beads, pushing up tight, then add a second clutch to the bottom to secure the pin to the hat or garment.

 

Another way to secure beads to your pins is to take a 2x2 crimp bead either Sterling silver or gold filled. We carry both and in smaller quantities when needed. Simply bead onto the hat pin, add the crimp on the end of the last bead, and taking your crimping pliers tighten the crimp, apply a little adhesive (clear nail polish works well in a pinch) and add the clutch to the bottom so you don't stick yourself. The clutch aids in keeping the pin securely in place on a hat or lapel.
