Hi there

I was using hearing protectors! They are yellow in color, and come 4 to a package. I got those at Home Depot too! I cannot for the life of me remember what I paid for them, however if your husband, son, daughter or friend works for a place that makes loud noises, these ear protectors are generally available to them. I'm not suggesting that you ask them to steal for you, however if a few fall your way every now and again, keep them!

However your idea looks simple enough and looks like a great idea!

Great tip, as much as I would love to buy Pin moors I just can't justify them in our extremely tight budget right now. This will work great for now-thanks for sharing the tip.

clever lady I'm sending the old man to the store now and then he can cut them up for me and keep busy for a while. Win, win.

What is the purpose of Pinmoors? I am new to this and am just curious. Thanks.

What pins do you all use with your "Pinmoors"? I used the flower top, but found that they are too thin and bend easily and one top has come off, too. I just got some button top heat resistant ones, but they are thick and not as sharp...hard to push through the fabric. Does anyone know how to sharpen pins, without a "strawberry"?

Thanks for the great idea - I was seriously thinking about buying some pinmoors but have delayed because of the cost. Going to Home Depot now!!
