Seriously! Where can I find push pin needles of this size?!??

[gamefreakgcb]

I've looked high and low, craft stores, hobby stores, amazon, ebay, google-fu, etc. but for the life of me I cannot locate push pin needles with small heads. If anyone here can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

I can't locate a ruler at the moment to measure the needle size and the size of the head.

Have you checked in the front of your pants?

I did, its much too big. :\

What do you want it for? If they need to be a specific size, I don't see why you couldn't make them yourself. Take a mostly headless pin, and put a ball on top. A mold and lead would be very easy. Plastic is probably doable, but I don't know how to work with plastic.

Thanks guys. I can't find the stupid ruler right now. I'll follow up on this tomorrow after work.

I don't know, but I have a bunch of them from the dress shirts that I buy.

Check sewing/fabric stores.

Check sewing/fabric stores.

The obvious answer. That's a sewing pin.

Wow. These were pretty easy to find, unless I'm overlooking some sort of requirement...
I went to a fabric/craft store online, and searched for

Edit: in case that's not quite the right size, they have a huge variety of sizes.
