10Pcs Black Porcupine Quills Hair Stick Indian Crafts Accessories Fishing Buoy DIY Sewing Project Kits Sewing Notions and Supplies

I use these quills for laying ribbon flat on mono needlepoint canvases. Each one measures about 3" long. They wouldn't be long enough to use for hair pins or other similar uses. I wrap my ribbon around the stick and slowly lay the ribbon flat on my mono canvases. The tip can be used to help further flatten the ribbon if it wrinkles. They are sharp but not too sharp. I don't feel like they are sharp enough to draw blood easily. The small size allows for this to fit nicely in my needlepoint accessories mini bag and would be airplane friendly if flying opposed to a traditional laying tool. If it got confiscated, this pack came with a few more so I would have plenty. A few of them did have splintered points on them. Those wouldn't be as useful to me as the threads would catch.

This is a nice, genuine set of porcupine quills. I am very happy with them.

This 10-piece set of black porcupine quills arrived and, unfortunately, they were significantly smaller than we had anticipated. This made them unsuitable for the specific project we had in mind.However, while they didn't meet our initial needs, the quills themselves seem to be of decent quality. They appear to be genuine and in good condition. I can see how they would be useful for smaller crafting projects, perhaps for delicate detailing or accents.So, while they weren't right for our intended purpose due to the size, they might still be valuable for other crafting endeavors. Just be sure to pay close attention to the dimensions before ordering to avoid disappointment.

I was not expecting large quills when I ordered these, simply based upon the seller's description "Hair Stick Indian Crafts Accessories Fishing Buoy DIY Sewing Project Kits Sewing Notions and Supplies". While I could not use these for a hair stick in and of itself due to how small they are, I can still use these for a number of other crafts.One thing to note is that they still arrived in very good condition - my package did not have any that were bent, broken, barbed or without it's pointed ends. I was really pleased to see that, because that means I can use every single one of these for my crafts without issue.I found the quality to be quite good, and appreciated that they didn't have any funky kind of smell to them.All in all, I'm pleased to have found these and am looking forward to using them!

The pictures have no scale or size indicator, but you might expect them to be "normal" size (4-6 inches). They are not. They are between 1.5 and 2.5 inches long, way too small for hair sticks.

Husband is making had pins out of these. He liked the size and quality. He had previously ordered some from another site and he really likes these better.

Using in my cap. Not quite as long as I hoped but look awsome

These are so little, not hair stick sized
