As always any help would be much appreciated. And yes I will post pics for the groups approval.
Ive made a few of my own and use the post type pins. I even had to replace the safety type pin on a stag horn kilt pin with post when the safety pin came off in one wearing. Most craft stores that sell jewelry making supples sell the posts, usually a dozen or so in a bag. They will also sell items like glue usable on all types material (metal, plastic, glass, stone etc). Ive used it on everything from stone to metal to stag horn successfully. Ive found the glue and pins at Michaels so any store somewhat like that should carry both types of pins.
