Pins To Pendants

Pins To Pendants

• Over the years I have gathered together many pins. Some from my childhood, some from my grandmother and many from a costume jewelry company I worked for back in the day.

• But as Heidi Klum says on Project Runway, “some days you’re in and some days you’re out”.

• The fashion of pins comes and goes and I have a simple tool to convert those pins into unique, statement-making pendants.

So Many Pins….So little time

• I’m easily distracted by bright and shiny objects.

Pin Converter

I found these pin converters in a bead store while walking up and down the aisles and knew I had to try them. I also recently purchased some on Amazon.com for only a few dollars.

I like to have one in gold and one in silver.

Step One

• Open pin back and feed into converter tube, keeping the

“pendant” part on

top.

Step 2

Close pin again

and you are

ready to start

wearing your

new pendant.

Thread chain through top of converter and that’s it

Just changing your chain and pin leads to some great statement pieces

More Samples

Just reverse the

steps and you have

your pin back.

It is ok if part of the

converter

shows, like the

example on the far

right. No one

would ever know

your statement

piece came from

Grandma’s jewelry

box.
