Kilt Pins

[Downunder Kilt]

I have made a couple of pins using a standard blanket pin and some of my old uniform buttons



I just snip off the top of the button shank, feed it through the hole at one end of the blanket pin and whack on epoxy glue. Let the glue set a bit then, adjust button to final position I want and let it set overnight. Cost, less than a dollar for the blanket pin, buttons, nil and glue, I always have some in the garage.

Good DIY advice, Mike. A slice of antler or bone, a bit of polished stone, a silver coin, nearly anything you can think of. Bob's yer uncle.

Those are sharp!

I have some nice stones if you are interested. I had a thread a while back and the consensus among the rabble was that they would make nice pins. To be honest, though, I rarely wear a kilt pin.

Once when I was in one of the many craft stores in the Maryland/Pennsylvania are here in the states, I found a package of stick pin backs. Stick pins with out a stone, jewel, art design on it. They also have an end that covers the point of the pin. These could be used to similar to the blanket style kilt pin.
