Best sewing pins according to redditors

Sorry but you got ripped off. Those are not rare or expensive, everyone in the Navy owns probably 5-10 of those, we use them on our mesh laundry bags to keep them closed while they go through the ships laundry service.

Personally I ALWAYS use a metal screen. Here's a link to the ones I bought 3 years ago: Amazon
But...I take some of these bad boys right here and push it through the center, then drop them into the hole of the pipe. (Some bending may be required) This will ensure you never lose the screen when you blow out the ash. I personally believe that every hit is 10X as smooth with a metal filter, and eliminates the worry of sucking too hard and pulling ash into my mouth/bong.


Now, 10 other people below me are probably going to say "Screens are worthless, you don't 'need' a screen" and they're perfectly right.
But I enjoy to smoke my way, and them, their way.
My recommendation is to try it both ways and you decide.

I haven't personally used these, but I've heard of them, and they seemed to get a good score.

yes :) get one of those giant saftey pins

I have pretty ones I've picked up but these ones are the ones I most use. I like having different colors so I can mark as many things as I need to. There are also enough that it takes me awhile to lose them and the case is pretty convenient.

Yeah, you gotta get the locking pin backs.

Something like this: Lapel Pin - Locking Pin Backs (Pin Keepers) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007IU94Z2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_O7IACb6VT39BZ

I usually use these: https://www.amazon.com/Biubee-Calabash-Knitting-Markers-Clothing/dp/B07K14BYX5/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?keywords=bulb+safety+pins&qid=1572106568&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExTVlHTk5IVVFZMEtCJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNzAxNDQzNDQ3TjVTVUtROTAyJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA2ODA5MjIxUDFORlc5SDJHVlVaJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfcGhvbmVfc2VhcmNoX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

The cast members who will trade to you will (should) have a special tag at the end of their lanyard that says something to the effect of "Hey, I'll trade pins with you!"

Maybe someone has a picture of what I'm talking about?

Re: putting your pins on a backpack, I really like this idea! :D You can purchase lockable backs for your pins at any of the shops at WDW. I'm also relatively certain you can find them cheaper online.

Something like this although I can't guarantee -these- will work with Disney pins, the ones in the Disney shops definitely will.

If you use these locking backs, then you don't have to worry about them falling off of your backpack!

I've been watching some on Amazon deciding if I want one. They run about $7-10 a piece to buy one in various and sundry iterations (ovarian cancer and sexual assault survivors are also colored teal, so their items often overlap) or $1-1.50 to buy a pack of 40-50. It's good someone is taking advantage of the opportunity to raise TS awareness!

My suggestion would be to make a couple of locking diaper pins and use them to secure a onesie and/or a thin cloth diaper over your diaper.

This kind of XL clothes pin, often called a "blanket pin": DIY Locking Diaper Pin

And this kind of plumbing part (not sure what size, will try to edit later): https://www.amazon.com/LASCO-17-6069-Compression-Sleeves-2-Piece/dp/B008E33Y1C/ref=sr_1_5?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1542430365&sr=1-5&keywords=copper+compression+fitting

The trick is to use pliers or a vice to squeeze the round compression sleeve into a narrow rectangle that slips tightly over the head of the pin. I wrecked a few compression rings figuring out my method. Thankfully I bought them at normal prices at the hardware store, not from the rip-off price from the Amazon link!

​

these were the only non-makeup item in my cart earlier

My knitters. I bought these metal bulb pins a while back. Never again will a not place a stitch marker. Stitch markers for everything. 1000 for less thank $7. Sure they're not huge and they're black, but I have light colored needles, so they show up just fine.

Look up how to fold a cloth diaper and you can get pretty thick pretty easily. I have used bath towels and throw-sized fleece blankets to fold very thick diaper covers. You'll need some large safety pins, usually sold to pin back draperies or skirts, and maybe some plastic pants if thats your thing.

example of pins

I used this kind of pin. I dipped the ball end in rubbing alcohol and used it to make drops of the paper to create the circles/bubbles.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077Q6WRT1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_4XYLDb13460B6

Use these upholstery screw pins. Also, use a length of pvc to tuck the back of the seat cushions.

i use stainless safety pins insted of punching holes in my pots https://www.amazon.com/300PCS-Safety-Sewing-Quilting-Knitting/dp/B00EMMIHFM/ref=sr_1_5?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1480619716&sr=1-5&keywords=safety+pins+stainless+steel

You shouldn't use sewing pins, because a lot of them are not rust proof, and they're pretty bendy. Something like this - stainless steel is best.

Some safety pins are actually quite large if you're worried about making sure people can see them.

I would say they are worth it, lost my Taylor Swift pin with a normal back. You can also get some with a screw.

I've used them to secure my Nephew's Disney Pins while at Disneyland

You can get them at the parks, or if you want to get some beforehand they have them on Amazon. Here are some: http://www.amazon.com/Lapel-Pin-Locking-Backs-Keepers/dp/B007IU94Z2

They also sell the official Disney ones on Amazon, although they are more expensive.

They look like this

I love the "calabash" aka "gourd" style of safety pin for this! They're small and have a rounded end that won't catch on anything.

YES!!!!

My childhood!

I got this set of stitch markers off Amazon. They are great for the price!

Knitting Stitch Counter | LeBeila Crochet Locking Stitch Markers Mix Multi-Colored Stitch Needle Clip/Safety Pins For knitting & Baby’s Clothing Usage(Color Ship Randomly) (50PCS) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01118B22E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_H-EQzb6PG4W4R

I even saw there were some cheaper ones on there too

If price isnt an issue then this

If price is an issue then this

If price is a really big issue then

Big happy birthday to you! ❤

would this work? or too big.. Honestly I would just use a plastic safety pin (plastic so the metal doesnt scratch the leather)
https://www.amazon.com/Plastic-Knitting-Crotchet-Locking-Markers/dp/B00VNI2PJ2/ref=sr_1_9?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1518041432&sr=1-9&keywords=plastic+safety+pins

Yes, and I don't put up with it anymore! I love Clover pins, they are Japanese and so nice to work with. My favorite for heavier materials are these flower head pins and for fine materials like your project are these fine glass head pins. Bonus is that the flower pins don't roll so they don't fall off the table. And you can press with an iron right over the glass head pins, no melting.

here ya go.

I honestly think you're shilling these all wrong because you're missing the whole point. You keep downplaying that they are magnetic but thats the main selling point of the product.

There are plenty of options for locking pin backs out there (those are three different links), and these screw-on types are actually reviled by many for warping the studs on the back of pins, or leaving dents on it.

Again, the ability to turn pins into magnets is absolutely brilliant. Locking pin backs is not new territory.
