How do you use a safety pin as a needle?

Published in DIY 1 min read

You can use a safety pin as a needle by following these steps:

  1. Open the pin.
  2. Grasp the closing end with a plier and bend back and forth until it snaps off. This removes the spring mechanism.
  3. Bend the pin back on itself until it is straight. This creates a sharp point.
  4. Obliterate the kinks with the aid of a plier. This smooths the pin for easier use.
  5. Make an angle of about 45 degrees about 1.5-2 cm. This creates a needle-like shape.

Please note: This method is only suitable for temporary use and should not be used for delicate fabrics or medical purposes.
