How to Keep a Brooch from Falling Off
Pins are elegant and timeless accessories that can add a touch of class to any outfit. However, keeping them securely in place can be a challenge. If you've ever worried about losing a cherished brooch or struggled with getting it to sit just right, this guide is for you. It will help you learn the best methods for wearing and securing your brooch, so it stays put all day.
How to Put on a Brooch
Putting on a brooch properly is the first step in ensuring it remains secure. Follow these steps for optimal placement:
Choose the Right Spot
Brooches can be placed on various parts of an outfit, such as the lapel, collar, or shoulder. Selecting a sturdy spot made of thicker fabric, like a blazer or coat, can provide better support than thinner materials.
Position for Aesthetics
Place the brooch where it complements your outfit best. This could be near the shoulder for a touch of elegance or on a neckline for a focal point.
Attach with Precision
Open the pin and insert it from the underside of the fabric to minimize the pin's visibility. Once inserted, push the needle through and fasten the clasp securely.
Properly placing the brooch from the inside out ensures that it not only stays on better but also sits smoothly without drooping.
How to Secure a Brooch
Securing your brooch goes beyond the initial attachment. Here are a few effective methods to keep it from falling off:
Use a Locking Pin Back
A locking pin back or clutch provides an extra level of security compared to standard clasps. This type of fastener locks in place and can only be removed by pressing or twisting it in a specific way.
Add Safety Pins
For an added layer of security, you can use small safety pins to reinforce the brooch. Place the safety pin close to the brooch and weave it through the fabric, creating a stable anchor point.
Use Double Stick Fabric Tape
If you want to prevent the brooch from shifting, double-sided fabric tape can help. Place a small piece of tape behind the brooch before attaching it to the fabric for extra grip.
Sew a Hidden Anchor Button
For heavier brooches or special occasions, sewing a small, hidden button behind the fabric can act as a back support. Simply pin the brooch through the fabric and loop it around the button for a secure hold.
Attach with Magnets
Magnetic brooch backs are another useful solution. They hold the brooch in place with a strong magnetic force, reducing the risk of damage to delicate fabrics. Ensure that the magnets are strong enough to keep the brooch secure throughout the day.
