  • Technically, this is not a new item. It's an item we've carried for years, but it's now available by the "each". To avoid confusion, we've given it a new Item Number (SKU).Hat pins aren't just for decorating hats -- in previous generations, when more women had long hair and elaborate hats, hat pins were pinned into the hair-dos underneath the hat, to help hold the heavy hats properly into place. And of course, the better-known fact: women often kept their hat pins quite sharp, in case they were needed for stabbing the hands of "handsy gentlemen".Many of our base-metal beads fit perfectly on our hat pins. However, to fit pearls on to them, you will need to use a bead reamer to enlarge the pearl hole.

Using a steel hammer on steel stamps, can damage (or even shatter!) your metal stamps, and is likely to bounce and give you the dreaded double impression. This is why we recommend always using brass hammers to hit steel stamps. Brass is a softer metal than steel, so don't worry when your brass hammer head gets dented (this is normal).
