Safety Pins that won't rust?
I am going to a spring show and I want to price and pack my items as I make them. I was thinking of writing a description and price and pining it to each item (in some sort of holder to prevent any ink getting on the items). I am concerned about safety pins rusting. Is there a better way? The show isn't until April and I will start right after I finish 3 items I need to finish for Christmas.

I did think about that but I worry about making holes. I may go by an office supply store to see if I can find one of the guns used to put the plastic strings through the material.

Don't get one from an office supply store! Those taggers will make large holes. Get one from a fabric store or online. It will say something like "Micro Tip Tag Gun" these are designed for fabric and will make much smaller holes. I would put the tag on the back or in a seam.

I buy my, safety pins, by the gross from here:

None of the different sizes have ever rusted on me. However I also LOVE this and it can't rust as it uses plastic:

Best of all with that the holes are so small you can't see them. The holes from even the smallest pins are a little larger. Anyway best of luck with whichever way you choose to go.
