And if you come across decorative sugar shakers, also known as muffineers or sugar casters, when you're out thrifting, you may want to use them as a unique storage solution. Similar to salt and pepper shakers, sugar shakers have multiple perforated holes on the top that allow people to sprinkle granulated or powdered sugar onto food and into drinks. Typically these shakers would be a bit larger in size, with slightly bigger holes that allow the sugar to come out easily. Because of their size and the holes at the top of the ceramic, vintage sugar shakers are perfect for displaying and storing hat pins. Instead of leaving your hat pins in a drawer or even attached to the hat, you can use a vintage sugar shaker to keep your pins in easy reach and on display.
