I couldn't figure them out at first so I asked my Amish friend how she got them to work. After she finished giggling at me, she took her kappa off and showed me. Her hair was in a bun and she grabbed an edge of the bun with the hairpin pointing away from her head. Then she twisted the pin as she turned it back towards her head and inserted it. I'm still learning because my bun is extremely heavy and very difficult to keep up with pins, but where there is a will there is a way. <br /><br />These pins are nice because they don't bend very easily.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17266816805551915978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1901352933618729952.post-79997963681205061132012-02-04T10:08:38.152-06:002012-02-04T10:08:38.152-06:00How do you use the pins?

They work swell, but are a bit heavy & bulky...perhaps I should give your steel pins a try. <br /><br />I wish we had an Amish store near us, there are a few Amish families north of us, but no store that I know of. I'll have to write Shetlers. We do have the Lehmans catalog, I wonder how they compare?<br /><br />Thanks for the recipe too, I'll have to try it. It looks delicious!PlainJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00748315137944685936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1901352933618729952.post-2831562246555415412012-01-25T12:21:54.102-06:002012-01-25T12:21:54.102-06:00Mia~ could you maybe spray paint them with a spra...Mia~ could you maybe spray paint them with a spray paint for metal? I'm not sure otherwise, unless they are tucked away really well. I really think they'd work really well if there was a good way to hide them.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17266816805551915978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1901352933618729952.post-53944536836997759072012-01-25T10:30:33.357-06:002012-01-25T10:30:33.357-06:00I've never heard of steel hairpins--but it sou...I've never heard of steel hairpins--but it sounds like exactly what I need for my next reenactment.
