Sharp, slender objects used to fasten things together. Unlike sewing [[needle|needles]], which have a hole used for drawing thread, pins have a head like a [[nail]], but smaller, round, and usually made from plastic. They are commonly used to secure fabrics for [[sewing]] or stick papers and photos to [[bulletin_board|bulletin boards]].
