Lapel Pins, Plum Blossom & Iris Hair Pins

Fashion & Wearables Completed Projects
1

I’ve been working on some larger projects the last few months - for a wearable art gala which I ended up having to cancel on because of time constraints. I’ve since switched gears to smaller pieces. I have a convention this weekend, so I’ve been making lots of lapel pins, and sets of hair pins. I’ve still got more I’m finishing, but I thought I’d share my progress so far.

I also made a short video of the process for making the plum blossom hairpins. :slight_smile: If anyone’s interested, there’s a link to it here: https://youtu.be/L-QrihWUt5c

What adhesive is that, the clear one that you use for the ribbon? It’s so nice and grippy!

It’s rice glue, or nori paste.
