    Canadian history has something called the Battle Of Hatpins, where 70 women fought police officers with hatpins and all sorts of makeshift weapons like frying pans, to protect the right to teach in French, it's culturally significant to why we are a bilingual country AND IT'S SO BADASS

    I'd connect a tiny something thru the eye of the needle as a 'stopper', perhaps a small bit of wire or something, as assurance the top bead won't fall off, even though it is glued. I've not made jewelry, but I bet there is something that would work.
    Using doll needles is genius, the perfect strength and poke. Thank you. I'll be making some using those.

      Thank you :) It is made out of craft foam. I modified the pattern from lost wax oz. He has some great steampunk patterns. The goggles are also his pattern, but made with polymer clay instead of foam.

    I wear my hair in a French twist and I think one of these would look pretty put in it..without a sharp end of course.

    Lovely. I was wondering about the pin bit. If you thread some thin wire in the top eye but the wrap it you can attach a dangle and then add the beads, just a different look. I love that steam punk hat and the music too.

    I buy jewelry at Goodwill, clean ( soak) them in mild dish soap then take them apart. Such a deal.

      I buy a lot of thrift store jewelry as well.

      Hi, I'm Australian and I buy lots of old costume jewellery from Op Shops - which is what we call thrift stores here. The name is short for Opportunity Shops - which I've always loved, because they are Opportunity Shops, giving us all the opportunity to buy stuff and remake it!

    Thanks! I love E-6000. It's so versatile. I don't know why pattern sizes are so weird but I started sewing 50 yrs ago when I was a size 3. But I had to use size 7 patterns. You must go by your measurements.

      Thank you :) I did go by my head measurements. I have come to the conclusion that that pattern was intended to make small hats that sit on top of your head. I have been sewing for 20+ years.

    Thank you for this brilliant video. Isn't it typical that women were penalised for mens bad behaviour?!?! The same thing happened here in Melbourne, Australia where I live. Apparently the law here didn't actually outlaw hatpins, but, they had to have safe ends on them and, just like America, hatpins had to be a certain length, 8 inches to be exact! I LOVE your Steampunk hat, so cool. Also, if you're looking for pins to use, long head pins or eye pins work really well, and you can buy really pretty ones with hearts or tiny crowns at the top.

    Great job, where did you purchase your hat pins?

    • @rcowham
      @rcowham  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I purchased the six inch doll needles from hobby lobby, and the beads from Joanns or Micheals. You could also use long upholstery needles, but I have only ever seen them in a variety pack.

    Wha are these needles called again? And, where do you find your larger beads? I'd like to find a mixed bag of beads in various shapes and sizes.

    • @rcowham

      I used the 6 inch doll needles. I used some beads I had, and some from the larger bead strings that you can buy at craft stores. You can use a small round file to make the bead holes larger if you need too.
