Altered Hatpins: Great Embellishments for Altered Books

I

Decorated hatpin flowers are a currently popular trend in altered art and in other types of mixed media art. Hatpins are hard to come by, these days, however, so many of us use corsage pins instead.

The hatpins in the photo above are decorated with flowers made from shrink plastic (or Shrinky Dink). 

These flowers were made for a decorated hatpin swap in a mixed media group.
