Colored stick pins

They were flimsy compared to the last time I purchased them. I used them for a church project to put things onto a piece of cardboard. They were extremely sharp so it didn't take much to put them into the cardboard. Of course I stuck myself several times. A few of them fell out and I was concerned someone might step on them. I didn't like the packaging because it was hard to open the package. In fact I had to have my husband do it because I couldn't break the seal. I'm glad I don't use them on a routine basis.
This item has many uses. One example is that I've used it to hang the many suncatchers that I have on all my windows. The suction cups don't hold well because of the sun but placing the push pins into the wood has really done the trick!
Good quality. They worked just as I expected to work. Nothing special here. I would recommend this product. And I would buy this again. I like the clear ones better than the color ones. They're sturdy they hold things on cork boards and you get lots of them at a good price. What more can you ask of a push pin? They do a perfect job. It'd be cool if they were special but they're just push pins and they're fine at that. I'm not sure what could go wrong with a push pin. I guess that the caps could break off or the pins could be dull; neither is true of these pins. They're sturdy and they are clear as described. We're using them to pin photos and posters in our new apartment rather than using frames. Admittedly we're pinning them into drywall which is certainly easier than wood but for our purpose they're perfect.
I purchased these to hang my daughter's artwork on her bedroom wall. The pushpins were strong and held the artwork up well with only one or two pins. They were even strong enough to push into the wall where the studs are. The artwork from my daughters entire kindergarten year is now decorating her room. She is very proud to walk in and see all of her colorful artwork all over her room. I like that it was easy to use these pushpins instead of nails. My daughter also had fun picking the color of pushpin to match her artwork.
