A safety pin is very essential to tie 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.
Brooch or broach is relatively a larger safety pin with designs over it. A
Brooch is a decorative jewellery item designed to be attached to garments.

some other material. Brooches are frequently decorated with enamel or with
