  Select the safety pins

  
  

  First of all finalize the size and number of safety pins, which are available in large, medium and small sizes. The larger your safety pins, the larger the size of the bracelet.

If you are making the safety pin bracelet for the purpose of presenting as a gift, then keep the age factor in mind and select small safety pins for kids, medium for teenagers and large for grown women.
