Help! Where can I get this?

Alan_Cross

I have an enamel lapel badge which has a spike to go though the lapel and then a 'butterfly' clasp to hold it on t'other side... only the clasp has gone awol.

I have tried, in vain, all kinds of jewellers, haberdashers and craft shops and it seems nobody wants to know - I have to buy a completely new badge to get another clasp.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? They look like this:

You could buy a charity pin badge and use the clasp from that .You can usually find them in various stores for about a pound.The charity benifits and you get a clasp ..cant be bad

They look like the things used to clasp the metal button on jeans to me. If you have an old pair try pulling the button apart from the clasp.

Could an earring butterfly do the job? You get some fairly large ones in places like Claire's.
