cap stick

Cap sticks are typically made from zinc alloy and commonly include decorative accents such as crystal elements, pearl embellishments, and motif accents like butterflies and flowers.

They use a safety-pin–style closure with secure clasps designed to hold the pin in place.

They’re intended for use on hats, scarves, shawls, and lapels, and can also be used to secure or decorate updo hairstyles.

Care instructions typically recommend spot cleaning or wiping the pins clean.

They are labeled for adult use only and include a CPSC choking-hazard warning for small parts.

Available styles include classic florals, pearls, and butterflies, as well as whimsical motifs like fox-head cameos and dragonflies.
