MW's Quick Tip

Whirlers!

I know I said I wouldn't post, but I just had to share this tip with you guys! So, I'm emailing from my BlackBerry!

Whirlers, are there any of you who ruin your scarves because you don't have 'snag-free' pins? And, leaves a gaping big hole in your cute hijab? I definitely do it, because I don't have any nor can I find any small ones!

Soooo, how about doing this? Getting the rubber guards from the back of your earrings and sliding it onto your safety pin, until it reaches the coil!

What do you think?

MW's Top Tip: Hijab Pins

Tonight I wore a black and orange salwar kameez, and I wore a black hijab with it, but I wanted an orange pin...didn't have one. So I just applied 2 coats of orange nail polish onto a hijab pin. Left it to dry (poked into my hijab pin cushion). Few minutes later - ta da! I now have an orange hijab pin to match my outfit!

Easy peasy!! So, next time you have a nice outfit but don't have the perfect pin colour? See if you have a nail polish in that colour and get painting!!

Here is a pic of the hijab pins I painted. I painted a white one into a deep plum colour and the baby pink one into a rather sexy pink, instead. So much fun!! lol

MW's Purchase/Tip/Money-Saving

Hi Whirllers!

I purchased some long hijab pins off amazon recently! And they came through the post this morning! [Ordered on the 5th and delivered on the 8th - considering 5th was a Saturday, too. So, swift delivery.]

They're from the seller called: Daisy Craft Fabrics and the wheel is 75p. I purchased two at £1.50, with 99p for delivery for one wheel, but if you order more they do often give some sort of refund on delivery. So, my total came to £2.49!
Also they do other shapes, such as pearl circles, pear shapes, leaf shapes, etc, definitely worth a look at.

They're heart shaped long craft pins, but they'll be perfect for hijabs! They're 2 inches long, which is ideal and something I've been looking for! (I've included a photo of the pins next to a vaseline tin, to show the length - oh, and I had to colour co-ordinate the pins :p )

TOP TIP:
If I'm honest, they work out cheaper than most of these online hijab boutiques who sell four for the price of £2.25? I managed to purchase sixty for an extra 24p (and that includes p+p, not sure about p+p for online hijab boutiques)! So, in my eyes definitely a bargain!

What's been your most recent bargain?

P.S. Sorry for the awful quality photo's. I did it on my mobile phone. Much quicker to upload. Especially, when I`m on the go.
