    One of my favourite kilt pins:

    I must admit I like kilt pins although I would prefer something more personal than the sword and foliage one the wife gave me so...
    I have drawn up a list of pins I'll make. They'll be either moulded out of craft clay or modelled from sheet plastic card. The attachments will be magnets and penny washers as some one suggested in another thread.

    1 A Yeoman keelboat, I have two Yeoman class Association dinners to go to later this year.
    2 my own design mini keelboat,
    3 A Great Western Railway "shirt button" logo in remembrance of one grandfather.
    4 A tank in rememberance of the other grandfather probably a Matilda which he served in WW2
    5 A type 88 Radar Head (aerial), I worked on those.
    6 A Tornado ADV, I worked on those too.
    7 A Land Rover 110 I'm always working on mine!
    8 there may be others......
    My Dad is still around but for him I have a choice of a TSR2, or Canberra, or Shackleton or Edinburgh castle all of which he worked on or in.
    Oh and I'd better not forget the wife, a rough collie (see avatar) or a pallet and paint brushes ( her main hobby)

    Hmm, I wouldn't let any Scottish soldiers hear you say that!!

    I have a pin for each kilt, mostly swords but one rather nice amethyst thistle. I put them on very carefully, between the threads, not through them and once on, there they stay.

    BigMacDaniel, Hi ! I have several pins for my kilts...... from girly to swords/axes..... I even have gone to a craft stores and used pendants as pins ...I used the best glue and glued small powerful magnets to them.. ( I do find that u will get stuck to something magnetized... Be careful u don't pull hard..Even pins can get stuck so be careful.. I don't use pins that needle things are thick..IF I wear a heavy pin ( that someone gave me as a gift, I try not to pick out heavy ones ), I use a swatch of the Tartan that I ask for and fold it and sew it so when I put the pin through kilt and through the swatch it secures it better and I'm confident that it is safe and my kilts are safe too... I like wearing kilt pins, I try to be careful with them so my kilts don't get hurt..I ALSO use rubber earrings backs to secure the pin too......I just think pins just add to the kilts, but kilts look terrific with or without pins...Its a choice....Angie..
