USA Flag Pins

Wear your American Spirit with these USA Flag Pins on 4th of July or Flag Day. Decorated beautifully with Red, White and Blue beads, these pins are extremely simple to make.

Materials:

1 large safety pin (1-1/2 inches)
13 standard-size safety pins (1 inch)
Red (44), white (38), and blue (35) beads

Method:

Assemble seven standard-size safety pins by sliding five blue beads and then a white bead, then a red, then white, then red onto the open pin.

Be careful not to stick yourself.

Assemble six standard-size pins by sliding beads on in this order: red, white, red, white, red, white, red, white, red for a total of nine beads on each of the six
pins.

You'll begin and end with red. Assemble the final pin by sliding the red, white, and blue pins onto the large safety pin.

Then slide on the remaining six red and white pins. To ensure that your beaded pins will not fall off of the big pin, spring the hinge on the big pin and slide the beaded pins around and place them on the other side of the hinge.

It's almost like sliding a key onto a key chain.

Wear your American flag pin proudly.
