    Nice to meet you, and welcome!  There is another person here (Popnicute) from Indonesia as well.  I'm sure she'll chime in-she does incredible wirework.

    Is there any way you can show us a picture of your work in progress?  The only suggestion I have is that you can buy pin back findings that you could attach with your working wire, but I'm not sure that's what you're wanting.  If we could see what you're doing it might be easier to give better advice.

    Risris! 

    Let me see if I can help.  From what I understand you want to be able to make an attachment for your handmade pins.  Is that right? 

    I did a Google search for making the pin out of wire and didn't find much, but this is a video of how to make a pin out of a paper clip and it shows how to bend the wire into the shape for a pin.  The only thing I would add is that you will want the pin to slide into and out of fabric so you will want to file it to a point before bending it into it's final shape.

    I hope this helps.  Like Jeni said, if you could show us a picture we would understand what you need to know better and could likely help you better.  Also, we'd love to see what you're making!  There are a lot of very talented and caring people here who will be glad to answer any questions you have. I'm looking forward to seeing you here often!
