Making martirika (baptism witness pins) was much more time-consuming than I had imagined. Before you rush off to your local craft store, you need to committ several hours to making these, especially if the baptism is over 50 people. I wanted to create a unique look that had a pop of color and feminine touch.

You’ll need:

• Size 2 gold safety pins
• Beige ribbon
• Gold and colored beads
• Gold crosses. (I used “Jewelry Essential Findings” from Michael’s and spray painted them gold. They come in packs of 8 or 9.)
• Gold jump rings
• Scissors
• Pliers
