What do you think??? Would you use them on a card, or should I try again for something more spectacular?
These are long pearl ended pins that I have had for ages and used in paper piercing for embroidery cards. I had loads of them, so decided to use them if possible. The coin is a US Dime and the end peices to stop the pin from being a danger are handmade using a bead within a bead and stoppered with silicone to make a secure end piece.
The pin on the left has wire wrapped around the beads and pin and a butterfly attached and each bead is adhered to the pin for stability.
The pin on the right has a heart charm attached with a double loop to the pin and a bead threaded and adhered to the pin.

I wish I could make things with beads but I am totally helpless in this area...LOL
They look great to me, and perfect for a card.
Found your blog via SCS... funny how you can find someone so similar to you across the world! I have just one cat, don't golf well either, but enjoy it; and of course love our paper crafts! We even have our top two movies in common. Continue to have fun on your "paper journey" as well.....
