Let’s be honest — you’ve used a safety pin.
Maybe to:
Fix a ripped seam mid-day
Hold a broken strap together
Turn a scarf into a dress
Or (let’s not judge) wear it as a makeshift earring
They’re the ultimate MacGyver tool — small, strong, and always in your junk drawer when disaster strikes.
But here’s a question:
Have you ever looked at the tiny hole at the end of the coil?
Not the pointy end.
Not the clasp.
But the little circular hole — right where the wire loops back on itself.
You probably thought it was just… there.
A byproduct of manufacturing.
A design leftover.
Maybe even decorative.
But no.

That hole?
It’s not accidental.
It’s genius.
And once you know what it’s for, you’ll never look at a safety pin the same way again.
The Real Purpose: It’s a Thread Holder
That tiny hole isn’t just a loop.
It’s a thread anchor.
