Safety Pin Jacket
Pin on some snazzy wings (or even the whole bird)
to add some sparkle to an old jacket.

A while ago I bought a package of 200 safety pins for a
project, but only used about 50 of them. A few weeks
later I looked at the pins and thought that they kind of
looked like feathers. So I took a pinstripe jacket out of my closet
and used the safety pins to make a pair of wings on the back. I got
a lot of compliments on that jacket, so I ended up making several
more. This is my most recent one.
