Keep your hair up with this useful multi-tool!
I started making these as hair pins, but have learned that they are useful tool in sewing and ebroidery as well. They can double as a wooden awl (for enlarging holes), a stiletto (for holding fabric in place and pushing close to sewing machine feet), or a seam turner (for pushing out corners and pressing seams).
I finish these with a thin protective coat of polyurethane, followed by a beeswax and mineral oil rub, which leaves them feeling silky smooth.
Are you a crafter with specific needs? I love making one-of-a-kind craft tools for other makers! Contact me with your custom request.
Flotsam is a one-person operation. I cut each small batch of kitchenware individually from carefully selected scrap wood, which I collect locally. Because I make everything by hand out of salvaged wood, each item will be unique and slightly different, and there will be some natural variation of hue and grain patterns in the wood.
