These are so cool. They would also be great as MAGNETS :)

I’ve got a huge collection of these floral pins that I don’ t wear as often as I should- looks like I just discovered a use for them after all! Thanks!

Very cute. But definitely an example of form-over-function, don’t you think? I mean, can you really imagine grabbing hold of those every day to pull open those drawers? I can’t help but picture getting poked, having metal flower parts breaking off in my hand . . . Am I the only one?

Love it!
I have some vintage enamel brooches.
But I do not hit on such a wonderful idea.

That is very cute but it makes me kinda sad to see those awesome brooches “wasted” like that (I collect 60s flower pins just like those).

Pretty! Couldn’t you adapt this to make a knob from which to hang art from a ribbon? My SIL gave us a beautiful handmade (by her!) quilted banner for my son’s room that hangs from a covered dowel with an attached ribbon. So the hanging hardware would be visible on the wall. So I want something attractive. This might just work somehow. Advice out there?
