I've seen some really amazing cross stitch work in the forums that people have turned in to pins. How exactly do you do that/where do you get the pins?
Thanks y'all!

Do you mean these pin backs? They're generally in most craft stores like Michael's and Hobby Lobby. People either glue them onto the back of the piece or sew them on.

If you mean something like this, then you'd need a badge/pin maker.

You can get some self cover buttons and attach these to the back.

Ty guys for the info! I went to Joanne's and got a button mold thingy (lol) called a craft cover button kit, and they also sell button pins (safety pins with only one hole). They turned out really cool so far, and I'll post them soon!
