    what's the best way to attach those French barrette backs to the
    barrette? 

    Judy, I did some once and I used the mini nuts and bolts, drilled
    holes in the barrette backing. If I want a fancy look, I solder a
    3mm bezel cup to the head of the bolt for a cab. I have a large
    collection of 3mm cabs for just this purpose. You can get black,
    gold plate, chromed and several different head styles for
    interesting looks.
