For use with Disney pins

These are good clutches but not "perfect" for Disney pins. The following is based on measurements taken with a haunted house bat pen. Since the Disney Mouse Ears Clutch is the same for all pins, these sizes "should" be similar to those common to other Disney pins. The actual part of the Disney pin rises 8mm above the flat back of the image part. These sleeves only cover about 5mm of the pin leaving a 3mm gap. They stick well to the needle. Disney pins featuring only a real pin may have small spikes designed to grip clothing and prevent the pin from spinning when worn. With the Bat-Pin, these spikes are about 1.75 mm high. This leaves 1 left. The distance between the studs and these couplings is 25 mm. While the clutch squeezes the Disney pens properly, the gap means the Disney pens can rotate. For large Disney pins that have two real pins, this doesn't seem to be a problem. Two solutions come to mind. First, it's the right type of rubber "washer" (or just rubber that can be cut and a pin inserted), about 2mm thick, to fill the gap and mimic the rubber surface of the Disney Mouse Ears clutch - push in the spikes. fiddle with your clothes a little. Second, find a clutch that grips the entire 8mm of the stylus, but I don't see any clutches on the Revain, that actually track how much of the pen they're grabbing. Please note that if the coupling is supplied with its own counter-pin, the length of the counter-pin will be documented. With these clutches

Pros
  • Beading and jewelry making
Cons
  • Not as thick as others
