The first through fourth listing photos show silver plated gathering pin pairs with slightly different black and white bone beads and either 5 silver tone spacer beads or 2 silver tone spacer beads and one rectangular prism bead decorated with spirals incorporated into the design.

Accessorize your outfits with my “No-Hole” Gathering Pins.
Gathering pins DO NOT work like standard pins. These lovely pins clasp your fabric instead of poking holes like a standard pin. They work by gathering up the fabric and stay in place by holding it in the tension of the clasp. They can be used so many different ways. Click on the photos at the right to see some of them and read the descriptions below. I’m sure after you try them you will find even more uses for these delightful decorative accessories.
Use them as sleeve pins, an attractive alternative to rolling or pushing up your sleeves, long or short.
Use them as bodice pins to make your outfit more alluring.
Use them as scarf pins.
Use them to jazz up some cropped leggings. (One of my customers thought of this. What other uses for these versatile pins will you think of?)
Size recommendations:
The small, 2 inch, gathering pins work well with lighter weight fabrics and short sleeves.
The regular, 3 inch, gathering pins also work on heavier materials, including sweaters, and instances where a lot of material is to be gathered, such as layered blouses and tees.
How to use them:
Open the pin and slide the head of the pin under the material to be gathered, leaving the beaded side on top. After you have gathered (or shirred) your outfit to the desired look, close the clasp around the fabric to hold it in place without piercing your fabric.
Beautifully accessorized with No-Holes!
