I love singing harmony, especially four-part harmony. I sing with a women’s barbershop chorus and on coaching night we needed a way to distinguish the sections and do a little team building, so I made pins for the basses. I did the design in Adobe Illustrator, printed on card stock, then cut out the 5” circles. To make the circles into pins, I had 1” pin bases in my stash. I cut out 2” card stock circles to hold the pin bases.

The pin base has prongs, which I poked through the card stock and bent over with pliers to hold it to the smaller circle.

Then I used hot glue to attach the pin and circle to the larger sign.

I didn’t have quite enough pin bases, but the technique works great with safety pins as well. I cut two slits in the card stock circle to hold the safety pin, then used hot glue
