Kipokalor 12pcs Extra-Large 4inch Steel Safety Pins - Blankets, Skirts, Kilts, Crafts (4inch, 4silver&4black & 4bronze)

More durable than pins at local dtores

I keep a few on my wool blanket for camping and it’s been a fantastic addition. I can wrap it around me as a shawl, make a sleeping bag, etc and when I’m not using it there I find other uses holding rope or cord together or giving me something to snap carabiners to when I want to set up camp.

I bought these to hold our feather comforters in place inside the comforter covers. They work awesome and they look great!

I just got these and pinned my coat with these beautiful 4" pins. It felt odd - as so many other Reviewers have said - that the pin's tip looked sharp, BUT it didn't want to pierce light material without a mighty push. For price, quality, and looks these are great, so get a nail file and file the tips. No sweat.

Works great

They are they perfect size, but not very sharp. They wouldn’t even go through a cotton duvet. Guess they are ornamental use only

As you can see in the picture: I pin my socks together. Yes, from the time I took them out of the bag, and washed them for the first time, I've pinned them together. It's like that pair stays together for life! Hard to believe, I've been doing this for over 30 years. I started when I was living in a residence for a summer which had a housekeeper who took care of dinner, cleaning, and laundry. In explaining the rules of the residence, one of them was unlike any I have ever heard before. The housekeeper made it clear, "I don't sort socks! If you want them sorted, pin them together with Safety (Diaper) Pins." So, in the next few days, I bought a bunch of these at the local supermarket and did as I was told. I was also told I should choose yellow or white, that no one was using them.I never stopped pinning my socks together after I left the residence that year and assumed responsibility for doing my own wash once again. First of all, I found that pinning them at the bottom of the heel area made them easy to fold and put away. Secondly, in all this time, I have never lost a sock! I might have lost a pair, but I never kept track of them that closely. I also learned something new that summer. I do not like to sort socks either! With this new knowledge, I was not going to go back to old ways. That would be quite stupid. What I thought might have been a cranky complaint, was actually a mouthful of wisdom.After 30 years, some of my plastic-headed safety pins are giving out. The dryers have finally melted them too much. I'm starting to replace them with all metal brands. They'll probably last more than the others, even though I might not last that long!

I have a few pants that I only want cinched in the waist because I have lost a few lbs but not enough to want them permanently tailored, in case I gain back that inch or two down the road. These are the perfect solution. I wear tops over the pants anyway so the pins are concealed.
