Have you ever accidently spilled your little dish of straight pins of your table and now they are everywhere?
Well here is a great tip in picking them up:

Get one of those "lint rollers" or "Pet hair rollers" and just run that over your floor and it will pick them up. This way you don't have to spend hours on the floor picking them up by hand.
