How to Make Victorian Hat Pins
- 1). Cut an 8-inch length of medium-gauge wire with the wire cutters.
- 2). Squeeze one end of the wire with needle-nosed pliers to make it more pointed.
- 3). Curl the other end of the wire into a spiral, twisting it onto itself twice.
- 4). Insert a hot glue stick into the back of a hot glue gun. Plug in the glue gun to let it heat for 5 minutes.
- 5). Squeeze hot glue onto the spiraled end of the wire.
- 6). Attach beautiful decorations onto the hot glue, such as colorful beads, bright feathers, or bows made from velvet, satin or lace ribbon, which will make it resemble a Victorian hat pin.
- 7). Allow the hot glue to cool and harden before using the Victorian hat pin. This can take about 2 minutes.
