Floristry pins – metal U-pins, 10 & 17 mm

The Advent wreath is ready and the branches are cut. But nothing wants to stay put in the floral foam. This is where floristry pins come in. These small metal pins anchor branches, moss and decorations firmly in your arrangement. Maybe you're making wedding flowers. Maybe you're putting together a birthday arrangement. Either way, these pins work as if they were made for your workbench.

What changes for you

• You fix branches, moss and ribbons in one go. The pointed ends push easily through floral foam and polystyrene.
• Your arrangement keeps its shape, even in transit. The sturdy sides hold the material firmly in place.
• You can secure bulky pieces such as branches too. The wavy top wraps around them and holds them tight.
• You keep working quickly and without frustration. The pins are easy to use and need no readjusting.
• You always have the right size to hand. Choose 10 mm or 17 mm wide, in lengths from 25 to 80 mm.

Why these floristry pins make a difference day to day

When you make arrangements, the hidden details often matter most. Once the base is secure, you can focus fully on shape and colour. Instead of fighting with slipping branches, you build your arrangement step by step. The finished piece still looks the same days later as it did on day one. For florists and flower shops, that means less reworking and a calmer workflow.

Material & finish

The pins are made of florist-grade metal. This gives them the strength to hold denser material firmly. They don't bend when you push them in. The clean finish lets you work quickly and safely. The pins are made in Germany.

Good to know about floristry pins

In floristry, these pins are also known as U-pins or staples. They have long been part of every florist's basic kit. They disappear inside the arrangement, so all eyes stay on the flowers and branches. That works for a wedding bouquet, a birthday arrangement or seasonal displays in the shop.
