Thumb Tacks (Approx. 40PCS)

Thumb tacks, also known as push pins, are small fasteners with a sharp point and a wide head that you press into surfaces like cork boards, bulletin boards, or soft walls. Here’s a breakdown of their features and typical uses:

Features:

• Material: Typically made of steel or brass for durability, with a sharp point for easy penetration.
• Head: The head is usually round or flat and wider than the point to provide a comfortable grip for pushing and prevent the tack from sinking completely into the surface.
• Size: They come in various sizes, with a common size being around ½ inch (1.25 cm) in length. A package containing 40 thumb tacks likely includes this standard size.
• Color: Thumb tacks can be found in various colors, but clear, silver, or brightly colored options are popular.

Uses:

• Pinning Papers and Notices: The most common use is to attach papers, photos, notes, or other lightweight items to cork boards, bulletin boards, or soft walls.
• Decorative Applications: Colorful thumb tacks can be used for decorative purposes, creating patterns or designs on bulletin boards or other surfaces.
• Craft Projects: Thumb tacks can be used in various craft projects, securing materials or creating embellishments.

Safety:

• Be cautious when using thumb tacks around children or pets, as the sharp points can cause injury.
• Avoid using them on hard surfaces like walls or furniture, as they can leave marks or damage the surface.
