craftgrrl | One of those annoying question/answer posts..

Not so long ago i posted photos of some christmas wrapping paper, and clay cupcake keyrings i'd made. They were a hit at Christmas, i was so chuffed. Mum's been whipping her keyring out to show every second person, and trying to get people interested enough to buy one off me, haha.

The thing i wanted to know was, what is the name of the screw-like hook that you use to hang the clay? The one you stick inside them when baking. I remember someone asking this not too long ago, and at the time i *knew* the name of the darn things but somewhere between then and now that part of my memory disappeared. I blame New Year's celebrations ;) I've searched various online craft/jewellery stores that i know are New Zealand based (where i am, funnily enough) but to no avail.

I had just used hooked headpins, and they held pretty well up till now. Maybe Mum's 'whipping' got a little too much for it, but a doughnut slipped off it's hook. Which brings me to another question - what would be the best way to stick it back in without making too much of an adjustment to it? I've attempted superglue, but it doesn't seem to like the small space + slippery metal + no pressure to stick together. Any ideas would be great, thanks!
