@Northmount staplers and paper clips. I love those ideas!

Here is a quick example using cut up paper clips.  My description above may not be very clear, but this photo gives a better idea of what I used.

@Northmount Thank you.  That is so easy to make and use. They are blunt and strong, just what leatherworkers need.

Depending on what you are working with, you might want to run the ends over a file or stone to get rid of sharp edges left from cutting them.

Oh, I will. I'm always getting cuts during stitching, and those are deep, so I'm very careful. That is why I started this thread as well - to pass on info I have about non-sharp stitch holders. In the process I got more ideas, which is nice.:)

If you use a sewing machine

toss your used, broken, bent needles in a coffee cup. They make great stitch holders

@Frodo not yet. When I do use my sewing machine, I'll  remember that.:)

@Northmount Just discovered something on Amazon today to use with those paper clip pieces. These pin-backs work like the backs on those stitch holders which are the rage today - that I described at the start of this thread. They can be used on anything which fits, from name tags to brooches to badges. I have ordered them already.

@Frodo I think so too. Versatile little things, if they work.

@NatesLeatherGds I'll get back on whether they work... or not.
