🔍 Why is your brooch or pin spinning and what can you do about it?
Do you have a beautiful brooch or pin, but it keeps turning upside down? That can be quite frustrating! 😩 Luckily, this is very easy to prevent .
This usually happens because:
🔹 The clasp is not sturdy enough → A loose clasp can cause your brooch to tilt.
🔹 The weight is not distributed properly → If the pin is not in the right place, gravity can make it spin.
🔹 The fabric is too thin or flexible → Soft fabrics can move around, causing the brooch to not stay stable.
💡 Good news: With a few clever tricks, your brooch will stay in place!
🔹🛠️ How to prevent your brooch from spinning?
1. The 'cotton wool trick' for extra grip
Want your brooch to stay extra tight ? This simple trick will help:
✔ Cut a small piece of cotton wool into quarters.
✔ Place it between the closure and the fabric.
✔ Press the cap firmly.
This causes the pin to clamp tighter , reducing its ability to rotate.
💡 Extra tip: You can also do this with a small piece of rubber or a piece of felt!
🔹 2. Choose the right place on your clothes
Sometimes the problem isn't with the pin, but with where you attach it.
✅ Thick fabric? Attach the brooch to a sturdy base, such as the collar or lapel.
✅ Thin fabric? Use a magnetic closure or place the brooch on an extra piece of fabric on the inside for reinforcement.
💡 Please note: If your brooch or pin is too heavy for thin fabric, it may droop or twist. In that case, choose a lighter pin or a sturdy base.
🔸 3. Use a small piece of double-sided tape
Do you really want 100% certainty that your brooch stays in place? Double-sided tape is your best friend!
✔ Stick a small piece of tape to the back of your brooch.
✔ Press firmly on your clothing so that it stays in place.
✔ Remove the tape after use without damaging the fabric.
💡 Perfect for a special occasion! Think of weddings, parties or a business meeting where your brooch has to stay in place perfectly.
🔹 4. Choose a brooch that is balanced
Sometimes a brooch rotates because the weight is not distributed properly . This is especially the case with large brooches with an asymmetrical design .
✅ Choose a brooch with a wide base and sturdy clasp.
✅ Place the pin at the widest point of the brooch for extra stability.
✅ Use a magnet or extra pin to maintain balance.
