How to Make Mosaic Knife Pins

Mosaic pins are meant to beautify your knives by giving them an artistic look. However, these items do not come cheap. With a little knowledge and the right materials, you don't have to spend the money to purchase them and can instead make your own.

Things You'll Need

  • Telescopic tubing (brass or aluminum, both round and square)
  • Electrical wiring (copper, brass, aluminum or steel)
  • Scissors

Instructions

    • 1

      Take a trip to a hardware store, hobby shop or arts supply store and purchase telescopic tubing in brass or aluminum, as well as electrical wiring in copper, steel, aluminum or brass.

    • 2

      Cut the larger, round telescopic tubing to 2 inches in length and insert the square telescoping tubing within.

    • 3

      Weave electrical wiring of varying colors and materials in through the holes between the round and square telescopic tubing. Keep the wiring symmetrical.

    • 4

      Cut the 2-inch pin you just created with a scissor in half, and cut the ends of the electrical wire so they are the same length as the telescopic tubing.
