A safety pin is very essential to fasten the pleats as well as to secure the pallu of the saree with the blouse. A safety pin is actually a pin or a clasp made of rigid but bendable metal; it is activated by squeezing the parallel sides inwards. It is safe because the sharp needle tip is covered when the safety pin is closed. The safety pin is strong, safe and very durable. Safety pins are very common and inexpensive and they come in many sizes, shapes and designs.
