This lapel pin or tie tack is made with a Nirvana Kurt Cobain performing on stage guitar pick. It is made with a real guitar pick.
I know, the picture is bad! The pictures of these guitar picks might look grainy, blurry or dotted. This is due to the fact that the guitar picks have a slight texture (from the ink on the actual pick) that the light just loves to pick up when I take the pictures! And the camera I am using exacerbates it. When you get the earrings in real life you will see that the picture is not blurry at all.
The pick is 1.25 inches long from the top to bottom and 1 inch at it's widest point. On the back of the pick I secured a pin with a butterfly clutch backing.
