Guides for people who wear pins in Orlando.
The first is the craft: how an enamel pin is made, how hard enamel differs from soft enamel in surface, line, and shine, and how the needle and clutch hold on a jacket, a cap, or a bag. The second is the trip: how to take a souvenir-style pin home from this city. Pack a pin in a bag. Pin a hat or a cork board or a jacket. Give one as a gift after a park week, an International Drive afternoon, or a downtown evening.
Hat pins share the enamel needle and clutch. The cloth changes. The pin is still enamel. A starter board is where those pins live once you are home. Starter-board kits are cork, felt, and extra backs. Hard enamel vs souvenir-style is finish versus subject.
Orlando Pin Company makes those families here. Write sales@tabaconda.com when a drawing is ready.
