Have you ever dropped all of your common pins on the floor and had to play pick up sticks? Well, no more, grab a magnet and just wave it over the pins and they come right up. Same thing with thumb tacks, if they are all metal. Just dig out a trusty magnet and they come right up.

Use an old magnetic bingo wand for picking up spilled pins and needles.

Tip: Some pins may not be the type that can be picked up with a magnet. Something to consider when purchasing new pins, so check them before you buy with a magnet!

RE: Picking Up Pins and Needles

You could also wrap a wide piece of masking tape (sticky side on the OUTSIDE), around your hand & pick them up that way.

RE: Picking Up Pins and Needles

The suggestion for the magnetic wand will most likely work better than my suggestion, but this works well for any small item lost in the carpet: Cover the nozzle of your vacuum cleaner with an old nylon and vacuum the area. Your small item will be sucked into the nylon rather than the inside of your vacuum!
