Has Anyone Turned...

...a pin/brooch into a hair clip/pin?

If so, how'd you do it? Was it easy/hard? Would turning it into a comb be easier than a clip?

Thanks!

The method you'd use in part depends on if it's a 'fun' piece or good quality jewelry that you're trying to convert.

It's hard to answer without knowing the materials you're working with. Hot-melt glue might work OK to hold the new hairclip or pin back in place. I used to use that for attaching the pin backs when I had a costumve jewelry business several years ago. Depending on size and placement you may need to remove or cut off the pin back.

You could also attach it iwith wire or fish line.
