ORNAMENTAL HATPINS.
The method of making flowered ornamental hatpins is easy. An ordinary hatpin, with a round or pear-shaped top, such as is bought for a penny or two, is utilised. The head of the pin is first swathed in wadding, and then covered with coloured silk or satin, on which should be embroidered coloured beads. Pieces of ribbon are next
taken to form the petals Such flowers as poppies, daisies, and roses are particularly becominig. The result when finished is eminently satisfactory, and
often adds a pleasing dash of colour to the general effect.
