We have featured many interesting posts about creating beautiful corkboards, canvas boards, and even carpet boards over the years. We’ve also showcased pushpin galleries that we love. After fussing over the boards themselves and the images we’re putting on them, we thought we would roundup some interesting alternatives to standard pushpins…

i like to use brass furniture tacks. they're very vintage looking even though they're just from the hardware store.

I have a few "normal" pushpins and tacks, don't use them much at home anyway, but I tend to favor the odd map pin (ordinary map pins) whenever I end up with any.

I was going to pop in to suggest map pins if they hadn't already been listed! They're harder to find in mixed color lots than they used to be, but you can match them to the color of anything they're holding.
The ones from European Papers (a shop that's local to me) are nice, but when I think "map tacks" I mean the spherical variety. I've done web searches on the subject before; some of the companies you link to here sell an array, like little flags and so on.
/map pin enthusiast!

Hey, I have some of those window numbering tacks, although I sure didn't know that's what they were.
How neat!
