Made from polymer clay
I first saw these pins in an embroidery book called doodle stitching, but it doesn't tell you how to make them. They are just included in a project on how to make a tree stump pin-cushion. I think they're really cute and were so easy to make. Sorry I have no pics, but I hope its simple enough to follow without.

I just used standard household pins. You could use the fancy hat style pins if you wanted or snip the end off the pins and just glue in.
You do need to use a strong glue and once they are dry try pushing them through a piece of fabric to make sure they are securely stuck on.
i will give it a try after my move and will make a version for you;-D xxxx
