Thin Antique Copper Headpins and Thin Gunmetal Headpins

We recently received our order of thin headpins, 24 gauge antique copper and 24 gauge gunmetal headpins.

We thought we would post pictures of the headpins as they arrived.  What fun little "bricks" of wire, needing to be taken apart, then counted into bags of 20 and bags of 100.

 If I remember rightly, each brick represents about 10,000 headpins.

These thin headpins are much better than the normal 21-ish gauge headpins for earrings and other wire wrapping projects using small crystals and stones.

You can find the thin antique copper headpins for sale online here.
