Pumpkin Beaded
Safety Pin
This pumpkin beaded safety pin pattern is a fun one to do!
You will need to use size 2 safety pins for this one, to fit
on 13 beads. If you have never made beaded safety pins
before, they are fun and easy to make. I do recommend that
you read my mini article in the Tips and Techniques section first
though. It will save you some time and gives some great
pointers. Once you know how to make one pin, you will be
hooked! Have fun thinking of up new designs! If you would like to see
the other free patterns on this site check out Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Fourth of July, and Christmas.
Things Needed:
- 13 size 2 safety pins
- 1 size 3 safety pin
- Seed beads in white, orange, and black
- Pliers
- Flat headed tool, like a screwdriver
1. Start your pumpkin beaded safety pin by following the
bead pattern shown below right. Each column on the pattern represents
one of the size 2 safety pins, with white, orange, or black beads
threaded on it. Begin with the color on the top of the pattern, and
thread that bead on the safety pin first. You may find some beads have
an opening that is too small for the pin, but most should fit. When you
are finished loading the beads, close each pin. Continue with each pin,
following the pattern.
 
2. Take your large safety pin, and open it. Using a flat
head screwdriver, wedge the flat head in between the safety pin loop at
the bottom of the pin. Once inserted, twist the screwdriver to pry the
loop open a little, as shown. The goal is to be able to have enough
room to allow each #2 safety pin to be threaded through this loop to
the other side.
 
3. Thread each #2 safety pin's loop onto the big safety pin. Thread it
around the large pin's loop to get it onto the other side of the pin.
This way, when you wear the pin, none of the pins will slide off. This
is a little harder than it looks. You may need to experiment with the
#2 safety pin orientation at first, but once you get the hang of it you
will be putting on the safety pins in the right direction and order
easily. When you are all done, use some pliers to scrunch down the big
safety pin's loop tight again. You are all ready to wear your
pumpkin beaded safety pin!
