A safety pin is a simple fastening device used to temporarily secure fabric, bandages, or other materials. It consists of a metal pin with a spring mechanism and a clasp that covers the sharp point, preventing accidental injury—hence the name safety pin. Originally invented for clothing repairs, safety pins are now widely used in fashion, first aid, crafts, and even as symbolic accessories. They come in various sizes and materials, including stainless steel and nickel-plated metal, and are valued for their practicality, reusability, and ease of use
