The simplest way is to get a piece of iron and a fine tooth file.
Start filing away until you have enough to do what you whan't to do with it.

You will get this from suppliers of Magnetic Particle testing equipments. Or stores supplying laboratory supplies to schools and colleges.
Or you can use rust (scrap iron) or just heat the iron pieces in air to a high enough temperature when it becomes iron oxide.
You could just collect the small filings (chips) from a metal working shop too.
