Where on earth can I buy small kilt pins?

I have seen a lovely broach (sp?) made of a kilt pin with ribbons and lace fixed to it

I thought I would do it as a craft activity for my mindees - the summer holiday ones (5 to 9)

But I need small kilt pins - though I suppose nice nappy pins would work

Help me please I need to order them soon as I'm sure they will take a while to arrive

I like nice clean crafts for the holidays and this is virtually skill free - so even I could do it

Thanks
KMc

Have a look at Jillybeads or LittleBeader...I know I have seen them somewhere and these are the ones I have used most often.

Here is one with the loops made up, I think the loops stop it all sliding to one end and leave the pin side free for pinning to clothes

Can you tell I am bored and I can not sleep

Thanks Skribble - I hope you got to sleep soon after

I chose the first one - just what I need

If we were using beads I'd buy the looped ones but ribbons are better for the children I look after

Na think I went to sleep about 3am, after reading in bed for a while, glad it suited.
