My son is doing a science project where he is making a foam board phonograph. He'll spin a record with a hat pin connected to the foam board which will cause the vibrations to travel so that we can hear the music. The instructions say to use a hat pin.
I went to 2 craft stores to no avail. I do have corsage pins but nobody seems to know for sure if these can work to replace the hat pin. My questions are is a hat pin thicker than other pins - (maybe so that it can transfer the vibrations better)? And is it less sharp than a corsage pin? Did they not suggest corsage pins possibly because the sharp tip might scratch the record?
How much difference is there between the hat and corsage pin?
Thanks!

A hat pin is shorter and thicker than a regular pin. It's not really sharp at all. I don't know where your at but go to a cowboy store. A place that sells boots or cowboy hats. I'd almost guarantee they will have hat pins. Or a truck stop.

Beadsunlimited otherwise known as The Brighton Bead Shop is very good. I get loads of stuff from them.
