Troubleshooting
The pin keeps rotating on my lapel.
Ensure the butterfly clasp is pushed all the way up to the fabric to minimize the gap, or consider using two small pieces of clear tape behind the fabric to anchor the pin.
The butterfly clasp feels loose.
You can gently pinch the wings of the butterfly clasp together slightly to increase the tension, ensuring it grips the pin post more tightly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To attach the pin, simply hold the front face against your fabric, push the sharp pin through the material, and slide the butterfly clasp onto the post on the reverse side until it locks. To remove, squeeze the two wings of the butterfly clasp to release the tension before pulling it off. To clean, wipe the zinc surface with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints or dust. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the black finish. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent oxidation.
