They are $3 each and can be worn as hairclips, clipped on a purse or bag, and (my favorite way) clipped to a cardigan sweater. ... View the Post

A Summer Project
(a KSL picture, not mine...I didn't think you wanted to see the inside of my messy garage...)I am in desperate need of a permanent place to sew....and I found one!
