Yes, they are so easy to make. I use the decorative long pins with the colored (Pearlized, yellow or white) heads. Just pick out your colored bead (I prefer the star beads because they look like flowers). Place the pin thru the hole and just before the bead meets the head of the pin, drop a dab of hot glue. This keeps the shaft of the pin from being covered with glue. Then pull the pin tight with the bead. And Wahlah, you have a decorated pin.
Great idea Twinkie! I have tons of beads and have always wanted to have decorated pins. You are clever...
