New Found Embellishment

I came across these the other day through my daughter.  She bought a cute little brown leather jacket from Forever 21.  When she showed it to me I noticed the tag hanging from it was attached with a really cool safety pin.  I instantly started thinking how I could use this on a card.  It doesn't have the usual curl as on a normal safety pin we are so use to seeing and using.  Well after doing some research on it, I found they are called "Pear shaped," "Gourd shaped" or "Round bottom" safety pins.  I found several places to get them but not in large amounts unless you want to order them from overseas and that required you order 10's of thousands.  I DEFINITELY don't need that that many.  However, I did find some fairly good prices on eBay though.

My original thought for these is that they would be perfect to hang a tag on a card or some cute little beads or something.  I personally am very excited about trying these.
