Using and Repairing Pinbacks
Pinbacks are the fasteners found on pins, often worn on jacket lapels, shirts, and even purses for those with a creative streak. Crafters frequently use pinbacks to craft new wearable art for craft fairs, specialty stores, and online auctions.
Where to Find Pinbacks
You can find pinbacks in specialty craft stores, the craft section of local retailers, and online through jewelry findings suppliers. They come in various metals such as goldtone, silvertone, genuine gold, and silver. Typically sold in packages of 25 to 100 pieces, buying in bulk often results in savings.
Repairing Pinbacks
Repairing pinbacks can be straightforward, depending on the issue. If a pinback becomes loose, you can simply reattach it with jewelry adhesive. In cases where the pin itself breaks, you might need to completely remove and replace the pinback. Reapplying is the easiest fix; if that's not possible, replacing the pinback with a new one is the best option.
Tips for Crafters
If you're a crafter planning to use pinbacks for a project, always test their functionality before applying them to your creation. Discovering a faulty pinback after attachment can be frustrating, necessitating a tedious removal and replacement process.
For Non-Crafters
If you're not a crafter but have purchased an item with a broken pinback, consider taking it to a local jeweler for repairs. Jewelers can often fix or replace jewelry components at a minimal cost, especially if the item is made from precious metals like gold or silver. Unless you have experience in jewelry repair, it's best not to attempt fixing precious metal pieces on your own.
Safety Considerations
Pinbacks have small, sharp points, so handle them with care. Keep them out of reach of children by storing them in a locked drawer or placing them high up. This ensures that unsupervised children cannot access them, keeping your home safe.
By following these guidelines, you can effectively use and repair pinbacks, making the most of their versatility and charm.
