Here is one of my newest fun kilt pins. After a visit to Spoelzt Brewery, home of Shiner Beer, I had to pick up the old style church key. Many of us men of experience (a nice word for older) remeber this style and the other style bottle and can openers that predate twist tops and pop top beer cans. I used three tack pins and super glue to secure them. Took some needle nose pliers to wrap the tack pin base around the opener. To hold to the kilt I used the locking pin backs. Using these I am able to cut the pins down to the pin back leaving nothing to catch my under apron. Of course I had to sample the brews while at Spoelzt Brewing, why else would I have gone there.
If you look closely at the top and lower sides of the opener you can see the tack back wrapped around the opener.
These backs are wonderful and quite secure. I no longer worry about the tack backs being pulled off the pin.
