Cobbled together Kilt Pin

[jeremy j starche]

Found a pin at a garage sale for under a buck and decided to replace the charms on with more to my liking.

Simple project, I'll admit, but I figure there isn't one quite like this out there anywhere else.

My charm -- an old bagpipe pin with the studs removed:

Copper wire around the middle tenor drone, coil spring above that. (And a few inches of dental floss, just in case the metal fatigues.)

Quite clever - good re-use!
