How to use / When it’s useful

Quick answer: fold the two rear tabs (piccaglia) over the material to lock the star in place; it works best on thin to medium-weight fabrics or materials. In most cases, the tabs are folded by hand or with light pliers for a secure fit.

Use this star to add a metallic accent to jackets, hats, bags, medals, display pieces or seasonal decorations. For thicker materials, consider pre-punching a small hole or using a backing patch to ensure a firm hold.

Care and notes

Simple care keeps the silver finish looking its best. Store in a dry place and avoid strong chemicals.

• If attaching to clothing, ensure tabs are fully folded and flattened to prevent snagging.
• Not designed to bear load—intended as a decorative fastener.
• Limited stock: consider ordering additional pieces if using for multiple items or projects.
