I can't seem to find a link where I can purchase the cone pin that's used to hold plumes.
Not even sure what they're called! Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!
I found those pins at my local Jo-Ann's in the wedding section
Ah. I looked through all the aisle of Joanns and Michaels, Didn't occur to me to look in the wedding section.
I'll take a look. Thanks. :)
What I use for holding plumes for gats are the large Filigree Aglets that I order from www.pillagedvillage.com (http://www.pillagedvillage.com) Click onto this site and then on the left side , Click onto Online Cataloge. Then Scroll down to where it says Aglets. I get them in Gold as well as Brass.
Good luck!!

Not 100% sure but I think you can get these at any craft store. I am pretty sure I have seen them at AC Moore and/or Michael's
...There are pins to hold the feathers on hats? huh. My hat has a braided leather hat band, so I just wove the end of the feathers through that.
Learn something new all the time, I guess.

I like the look of a cone. Keeps the ends all tidy and all that. I purchased a hat last year with one and I'm smiten now. :)
I did find one in the bridal section of Joanns. It's meant to be used as a lapel flower holder for the groomsmen and is exactly the one on my other hat! Who'd have thought. Thanks again. :)
I do LOVE the pretty fillagree ones Kathleen. I may order a few and play around with those for a hat I want to try my hand at this summer. Do you just sew it in or do you glue a pin back to it? I like the idea of changing out the feathers now and again.
I had no clue what you guys were talking about until further in the thread. But all I have to say is wow, theres a lot of stuff I dont know. So can these be used for both men and women's hat?
Absolutely, my friend Pam of La Paloma hats buys those corsage cones by the box and epoxies pins onto them, they work great for all manner of hats.

How does it work?
Anna!!
I order several dozens of the Filigree Cones in the Gold and Brass because I do a lot of hats. You can put at least 2 plumes in them when they are trimmed at the stalk.
A pin can be glued onto them to keep them on a hat better. Those I find in the Jewelry section at a Hobby Lobby or when I order from Fire Mountain Gems.
Ah, okay. I was wondering if there's a way to make them removable so you can use the same feathers for different hats depending on which you want to wear.
I was at JoAnn's yesterday to pick up some odds and ends. What I bought was package of pin backs with an Adhesive strip in the Jewelry Findings section that can be applied to the Filigree cones i use for Plumes for hats. They work slick!!! All Jewelry Findings, beads, wires, etc., were 40% off as well!!!
I love sales!!! I even stocked up on the metal coated Plastic Vermiel Beads that I use for garbing anf hats.
