Where Can I buy....??

I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a lot of gold and silver flat head pins?
I need these for pin flair crafting and they seem to cost a fortune everywhere Ive looked.

I thought pins would be cheap

Hope someone can help.

Do they have to have sharp ends lie regular pins? If not would jewellery making headpins do? This is where I get mine from

Are they the sort of pins used in needlework ? If they are I'll have a look around town. We've got a hobbies shop I seldom go to as it's all knitting and sewing stuff.

Aww thank you.

Yes they are just a standard sized pin, Im really after the gold flat head pins.

They have to have a head bigger than the centre of a sequin....

I still cant believe how expensive they are...

Have you tried Fred Aldous? I had to buy a load of safety pins a while back and theirs were the cheapest I found ...

thanks Gingernutmeg another great site... o nooo! Im never going to get off the internet!

Jut noticed some fantasy film on there... it reminds me of a Brownie camp trip years ago where we made loads of crafts and used the film to make little flowers for our Mums.
