Thereof, what size beads fit safety pins?
The 6/0 seeds beads will fit on our smaller safety pins to make friendship pins, wrestler pins and more. The 10/0 and 11/0 size WE carry are designed to be used on our safety pins for friendship pins.
TIP 1: A good way to open the large safety pin, the one you thread the smaller ones on to, is to open up the pin first. Then, firmly grasp each side of the pin in each hand and twist them and pull apart at the same time. You can usually get the loop open this way without even prying it open with a screwdriver.
