I made a hijab pin!

This is not my first attempt at making my own hijab pins. It is my first attempt at making one that is made will just beads and bead caps. I saw a sister at the local masjid with one that was similar. I went to my local craft store and here is what I came up with. Tell me what do you think?

"Where do you store all those hijab pins?"



A better question would be "How do you store all those hijab pins?" I absolutely love anything cute, one of which is pincushions. I just love them especially the manniquin type. I made one for myself and now it is loaded with hijab pins.

Hijab Pins

Me and hijab pins go way back. My first experience with hijab pins was with my barbie dolls. I used to make little hijabs for them and stick one of umi's straight pins in her head to hold the hijab in place. Back then we called them kemars and kemar pins. When I first started wearing niqab I just used a good ole basic straight pin from the sewing box to hold it back. Now hijab/kemar pins have come a long way from the basic sewing box straight pin. There are so many to pick from and so many different types of pins can be used. I really like the philo clay pins, made into flowers and hearts with little diamonds and glitter. And the chandelier earring type pins. And also that basic sewing box pin too.
 Of course the next question is "Wear do you store all those hijab pins?"

Salaams!!!!
