Here’s a tip shared by @theschoolofjewellery.ie - Try using a safety pin! 🧷

“Brooch pin making is always a journey of trying to find a good solution. I have used everything from piano wire to fully hard sterling silver to steel. But one of my favourite for small brooch pins is getting a safety pin and chopping short of the coil and forming it to it my needs. Try it you won’t be disappointed with the snap sound. If you can get a large enough one.”

Thank you Paul!! Love this! We appreciate you sharing with us!!
