Ivy pins – metal mossing pins for arrangements, 80–120 mm

The Advent wreath is in front of you and the fir branches are bound. Now the cones, twigs and ivy tendrils need to stay in place. That includes later, when the wreath is carried or moved. This is exactly what ivy pins are for. You push them through the material into floral foam or polystyrene in one simple move, and everything holds firm. So you can carry on with your arrangement, wreath or table decoration at your own pace. They're made for your craft table.

What changes for you

• You work faster on your arrangement, because the pointed ends slip easily into floral foam and polystyrene. No pushing hard, no bending.
• Your decoration holds even in transit. The sturdy sides keep twigs, moss and ribbons reliably in place.
• You can secure larger pieces such as branches too. The rounded top holds them where they belong.
• You always have the right length for every project, because you can choose between 80, 100 and 120 mm.
• You won't run out of pins in the middle of the season, thanks to pack sizes from 100 to 1,000 pieces.

Why ivy pins make a difference day to day

Whether it's a bouquet, a wreath or a wedding table arrangement: decorations only keep their shape if nothing slips or droops. With ivy pins, you build your work so it still looks the same days later as when you finished it. That lets you work calmly. You can focus on the design instead of fixing things afterwards.

Material & finish

The ivy pins are made of florist-quality metal and are cleanly finished. They can be pushed in again and again without loosening. The pointed ends make it easier to work in dense material. The rounded top spreads the hold evenly. The pins are made in Germany.

How to use the ivy pins

• For Advent arrangements: you pin twigs and cones firmly into the floral foam. The wreath then survives the trip to Grandma's in one piece.
• For weddings or birthdays: table decorations and wreaths keep their shape all evening, even when guests shift around at the table.
• In the flower shop: you secure moss, ribbons and ivy tendrils in seconds. Your arrangements look just the same on handover as they did on the workbench.
• For polystyrene crafts: figures, fabrics and natural materials hold without glue. And you can re-pin them until the layout is just right.
• For grave arrangements and outdoor decorations: the longer 120 mm pins give heavier branches a secure hold too.

Good to know about ivy pins

Ivy pins get their name from their classic use. Florists have traditionally used them to fix ivy tendrils to wreaths and arrangements. You may also know them as mossing pins, U-pins or wreath pins. They're always the same tried-and-tested pin. It has long been a staple in every florist's workshop and works just as well for crafting at home.
