<p>[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 63493, member: 59"]Well, it does work for the hatpins I have when they are placed in the upper 2 rows, not so well for the rows further down. Unfortunately I only have 5 long hatpins. The box of pins turned out to contain mostly "corsage" length pins. The egg fell forward when I put pins in the 4 holes of the third row. Now it could be that if you had enough pins to fill all the holes and only removed 1 from the top there would still be enough weight from the pins remaining in the upper holes to keep it from falling over, but I don't have enough to do that test.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
