FAQs
What materials are the pins made from?
The pins are typically made from metal with a printed or enameled design, featuring a metal backing clasp.
How large are the pins?
The exact dimensions vary per pin, but they are generally designed to be a noticeable accessory without being overly large, similar to standard enamel pins.
Can these pins be used on paper crafts?
Yes, they can be attached to sturdy paper crafts like journal covers or mixed-media art pieces, often using a strong adhesive or by poking them through thicker cardstock.
Are these pins waterproof?
While the design might have some resilience, the metal components can be susceptible to rust if constantly exposed to water. It's best to keep them dry.
Is this set related to the Distress Ink pads?
Yes, the designs on the pins are inspired by the aesthetic and color palettes of the popular Tim Holtz Distress Ink line.
Can I buy individual pins from this set?
This product is sold as a set of six. Individual pins may be available separately from other retailers or collections.
Troubleshooting
Pin backing is difficult to open or close.
Gently wiggle the backing while applying pressure. If it remains stiff, a tiny drop of lubricating oil on the hinge might help, but use sparingly.
Pin backing won't stay securely fastened.
Ensure the fabric is not too thick for the pin's clasp. Try pressing the backing down firmly on a flatter area of the fabric. If the clasp feels loose, it may need to be replaced.
Design on the pin is scratched or faded.
This is typically due to wear and tear. For minor scratches, it may not be possible to repair. Avoid harsh cleaning methods that could accelerate fading.

Compatibility: These pins are designed to attach to a wide variety of materials including denim, cotton, canvas, felt, and thick paper crafts. They are not recommended for delicate fabrics like silk or very thin synthetics where they might cause snagging or tears.
