Description:
Super fast and easy swap! Alter corsage pins by permanently adding beads and embellishments to them. The color and style possibilities are endless. Pins can be purchased online, at Joann's or other fabric stores, Michael's, etc. Make them all different or all the same, it's up to you. I prefer the 1.5" and the 2" pins but they come in all different sizes. 3 pins for 2 partners = 6 pins total (minimum) BEWARE: Addiction warning! These are so fun and easy to make and the combinations and embellishments are endless. You. Will. Love. These.

your description says 1 partner but further down it says we have 2 partners. I'm assuming it is 2, just checking! ;) Very nice tutorials. I just came up with some cool ideas.... looking forward to getting my 1st set of pins. I just couldn't get into the matchboxes and since I make jewelery this will be so easy!! and fun to see what I can create!
